Lots of hard work! Thanks!

[jackasmacka]

There appear to be 2 different tef timers, one says 5 minutes in the notes above, and the other days 15 minutes. Is there a difference in those items I'm not seeing?

Thanks for the update. That is a hell of a list!

[Lolindir]

5 mint to lose TEF, 15 min to become covert.

[Monoxxide]

One of the most hype patches in a while. I love it.

Indeed, looking forward to more. Great job staff!

[*][Fixed] Return to Coordinator WP removed when player is sent to tactical officer

Should the tactical officers be showing up? because I cannot see them. Also I'm not sure this is fixed as I still have the wp showing after being sent to the tactical officer (which isn't there)

[Serrabell]

Thank you

[Wesia]

Noticed since the patch, occasionally when I'm crafting and I go to assemble it says it's not ready like all the slots aren't filled but they are.
This is during my grinding macro and I noticed if I just let the full screen alert stay up, my next tool pass of macro commands will force it forward.

Anybody else noticed this? Should I create a bug report?

[Lolindir]

If anyone experience any bugs with this merge, please file a report on mantis, so that we can look into it. It would be very helpful.
Where to and how is in my signature.

Before I post on Mantis, is there a new process for going on leave? I am only getting the option to retire or go special forces

There is no more "on leave", just combatant or special forces. Though when a combatant now (it should read covert but I believe this is a client side issue) the npc from the opposite faction won't automatically agro unless you have a tef or attack them.

So, it's like "on leave" and "combatant" are combined

[TMcArthur]

Thanks 👍

Awesome! more pvp the better! tired of seen people killing rebels/imperials NPC with no repercution at all.
