Here are some bugs I know about that should be fixed. I've attached steps to reproduce the bugs and also ways to work around them (if any) until they are fixed.

1. Daily blessing elixir fails to be applied if previous day's elixir is same type and still active

Start with character with a particular daily blessing active (e.g. 1.5x combo)
Collect new day's blessing as same elixir (e.g. 1.5x combo again) while old one still active
Notice on elixir buff page that time left is still the old one's remaining time (e.g. only a few minutes left)
Notice that there's no sign of new elixir
Notice that player has no elixir at all once old one finishes running out

Added to list: Feb 20, 2013
Workaround

Open “Elixir Buffs” page before collecting daily blessing.
If daily blessing elixir is still present, press the “x” in the corner to remove it.
It is now safe to collect the daily blessing.


2. Daily blessing doesn't become collectable until changing zones

Log in using Chrome or iPad just before new daily blessing is ready to be collected
Wait until collection time passes
Select daily blessing and notice that it cannot be collected even though listed collection time is in the past
Use map to travel to a different town
Notice that daily blessing can now be collected

Added to list: Feb 20, 2013
Workaround

Enter a town using the world map.
Daily blessing can now be collected.


3. Chrome space bar clicks on items in environment (like signs) rather than just acting like attack button

Log in using Chrome
Go to a zone with clickable items (e.g. Humania South Pointe map that has signs to property manager)
Move near a clickable item (like sign) and press space bar
Notice that it pops up the dialog box for item as if player had clicked item with mouse

Workaround

None


4. Ranger poison needles always shoots where character is facing, not at target

Equip ranger with bow or any other ranged weapon
Use ranger to run near a mob capable of freezing player (e.g. yeti)
Run away with mob chasing until mob freezes player facing away from it
Attack with auto-attack and notice that ranged weapon still attacks mob even when facing wrong way
Use poison needles skill and notice it shoots uselessly off where player is facing doing no damage to mob

Added to list: Feb 20, 2013
Workaround

None


5. Ranger rabid bite doesn't charge forward when no target at rank > 1

Have ranger enter a zone where nothing can be targeted (e.g. a town)
Set ranger skill rabid bite to rank 1
Use rabid bite and notice the player leaps forward
Raise rabid bite to a higher rank (e.g. 6)
Use rabid bite and notice the player does not leap forward anymore

Added to list: Feb 20, 2013
Workaround

Do not raise rabid bite beyond rank 1 if you want to retain the ability to leap forward with no target.


6. Ranger hypnotize skill doesn't get better when advancing from rank 4 to 5

Set ranger hypnotize skill to rank 4
Compare current rank info to next rank info
Notice that difference is max damage goes up only 2 points but min damage goes down 2 points
Realize that this means on average rank 4 and rank 5 are exactly the same

Added to list: Feb 20, 2013
Workaround

None


7. Guild title doesn’t always show up over player’s head

Set title to guild title, e.g. <Sword To The Face>
Change zones
Notice that title may or may not appear over player’s head
Keep changing zones and notice that title sometimes appears and sometimes doesn’t

Added to list: Feb 20, 2013
Workaround

If guild title does not appear, re-select it on the “Titles” page.


8. Game progress bar often incorrect

Click “Join Game” from world map
Look at progress bar for game
Now join that game and see if the progress you saw matches up with how much progress the party has actually made
Notice that often a game that showed zero or near-zero progress is actually 50-75% complete
(This lag between reported and actual progress tends to be more prevalent in high-level XP runs where the party is trying to go as fast as possible.)

Added to list: April 9, 2013
Workaround

None


9. Deal of the day “time left” fails to apply timezone offset

If necessary, set timezone on platform to something west of UTC (e.g. CST=UTC-6)
Click “Deal of the Day” from platinum store
Examine “Time left” in lower right corner
Check back after 12:00am GMT has passed and notice the deal has changed earlier than “time left” indicated

Added to list: May 2, 2013
Workaround

Ignore “time left” and instead calculate for your own local timezone knowing that all deals end 12:00am UTC


10. Deal of the day fails to change to new deal if old expires while logged in

Click “Deal of the Day” from platinum store
Click “Buy Now” and verify that confirmation dialog to make purchase comes up (can cancel without buying)
Check back after 12:00am GMT has passed and click “Buy Now”
Notice that you get a message that says “You must wait until tomorrow to purchase this item”.
Log out and back in
Check deal of the day again and notice it is now a different deal

Added to list: May 2, 2013
Workaround

Log out and back in to refresh deal of the day

Once again, these have all been bugged or are known issues.
