@sixty4 half: i think we should use #DoTP12 as the hash tag as its short and applies directly to the game.

@narcolepzzz, sorry mate can't help until about 9 pm GMT as i work 9-5 and am off to pub after that. Should be on lots tomorrow so will help then.

Wow excellent, welcome back Micro! It's great to hear something from Wizards, and it doesn't surprise me that it's from you because you're the only one who has ever given us the time of day here. I appreciate you letting us know things are happening. I was going to PM you, but my whole PM system is broken at the moment, seems there are forums problems. But I was going to say the Twitter campaign isn't anything personal against you, quite the opposite, as I requested your name be left out of it. But I'm sure you can understand that promises made 3 months ago by Wizards/Stainless about bug fixes and communication don't mean much when we haven't heard a word about it since. But I know that's not your fault. I hope this is the start of some real communication. It's a shame to go to these lengths to try and get the game fixed, but at the same time it shows the love we have for the game of Magic and the potential we see in DoTP. If it was trash through and through with no future, no one would even be bothering with this campaign. Thanks so much again for the videos Narco, we're creating a really good online gallery of the bugs while doing this which is something I've always wanted to do anyway but not had the technology. I'll be sending you some new ones soon. With regard to Fresh Meat , it's very strange. I've been plugging away on my Xbox trying to reproduce it again. Sadly with no DLC and against the AI, this is the hardest bug to reproduce. But I used to be able to, even if it took me many hours. This time however, I couldn't get the AI to cooperate. I created the perfect opportunity, twice, for him to use the card but he failed to. So I think there is a possibility this has been fixed !? If anyone else on the Xbox could try this for me, I'd really appreciate it please. All you need to do is either play against the AI, or much easier a friend. Get some of your land destroyed (however you want) then cast Fresh Meat . If you don't get any tokens, it's been fixed. If it has, I am really confused. That means that there has been a "patch", fixing only this one issue and also one other I read about with Snake Umbra . I guess that's why we haven't been told about it, because 2 bugs out of 100+ in 6 months isn't exactly fast work. Let's hope the need for the campaign is removed by some proper fixes and comms. I'm always here happy to talk to Wizards/Stainless and to help with bug fixes. Micro still has my list of big problems with detailed solutions, I hope Stainless are working on that as a starting point at least. Great work everyone! PS I've been told that to make the Twitters receive a wider audience, you can include certain tags which make them searchable for people interested in the subject (my understanding of this is not great!) But just put #mtg or #wotc somewhere in the message and it becomes higher profile. I'll add this to my Twitter tips, and when I can I'll add more to it from this thread too. The forum running so slowly makes things difficult at the moment.

Just out of interest, does the xbox have some kind of auto patching system?

Was watching this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ-AsIN0qbU the other day and the Gideon's Lawkeeper first main phase skip glitch wasn't happening.  The commentator even makes note of it at 03:13.

Everyone get today's message in the action thread? Rob called in sick today and asked me to post it so since I can't edit his op u have to scroll down.

Sent them the Chandra's Phoenix bug video.

Whatever was going on with these forums seems to have been sorted out, good job! I can finally actually read things and reply properly. I'll be updating the main post now. Ah, it feels good

Thanks again for all the support and suggestions everyone. I'll be adding in the names of the extra suggestions to the list, seems like we have some good candidates! We'll see where it takes us. I'll try and put in more Twitter tips from here too.

Thanks for filling in Narco, I literally couldn't post anything in that thread things were so bad. Now it seems I'll be OK.

whitephantasmo- As far as I know there is no kind of patching system. Without experience of online play I can only speculate, but I think the Lawkeeper bug doesn't always happen. The Fresh Meat one may have indeed been fixed (anyone tested it on Xbox/PC?) but if it has I'm sure it's the only one as all the other bugs are there to be videod easily. Oh, is Narco on Xbox? If that's the case, this bug probably has been fixed. Really weird to release a patch with 1 bug fix in it... it's a start I guess.

crb- Yes that's a huge problem, as I haven't seen it myself its a bit hard to describe or know exactly what will happen. But if anyone could make a video of those kinds of issues that would be great and I could put that one down soon as a message. Lavaborn Muse is on the list for Narco to get a video of when he gets the chance.

Awesome work everyone!
