Bug Fixes, which one's do you want to see fixed most?
Delayed Damage Some of our attacks, such as Shank/Shiv or Explosive Flechettes don't display their damage immediately after use. Many times it takes 3-6 seconds before the damage will show up. This sometimes leads to mobs dying without doing their death 1% [ 2 ]
Necros are currently bugged and not able to fulfill any role well in a raid environment. Please fix this bug so that Necros are either viable DPS (being 30% behind other classes while offering LESS utility than said other classes is not right), or have su 3% [ 6 ]
Fix the window "Debuffs (Cast by me)" getting out of sync when you change offensive targets to something else then change back. 1% [ 2 ]
Getting stuck to stairs. You get stuck to stairs when you try to climb them. This bug has been in game for ages. Very annoying and has caused numerous deaths to me. To me it looks like that height you can climb is set to just too small value causing probl 15% [ 28 ]
My vote goes to whatever bug causes such a performance hit in combat when particle effects are enabled. 5% [ 10 ]
Equipment effects not sticking after a death/chunking etc. The workaround is a relog, which is very annoying. 4% [ 8 ]
Particle effects still being loaded even when I choose not to show any particle effects (all sliders to 0%). I've put my particle effects to 0, but when a npc usually cast a big particle spell, I still get the lag from it, even if I don't show the effec 3% [ 6 ]
I hate the ui bug that sometimes causes whatever i click to not fire. For example, sometimes when I click on my mount icon nothing happens, forcing me to click the same icon again. The money saved on computer mice alone by not having to click all thos 1% [ 1 ]
The 3 piece set buff on a lot of the Qalian faction armour sets is not working, although the 6 piece set buff is working. I can confirm it not working on the Qalian Musician's set for fact. 1% [ 2 ]
evac (only caster's one) dont work correctly. Always crash at evac over chunklines. 0% [ 0 ]
I'd like to fix the bug that happens in Windowed Mode (def with Vista, not sure about other OS's) when you alt + tab and come back to Vanguard and when you try to type in the chat box, your letter keys function as if you weren't chatting. 1% [ 1 ]
Underwater *holes in the world*. This has annoyed me for years. Its particularly bad around the Xennu area, but also, frostshard lake around where the Spectral Projection is. The problem with these holes is that you have no idea where they are, and onc 1% [ 1 ]
crafting attributes not displaying properly after leveling until you relog. You will end up with negative points being distributed instead. 1% [ 1 ]
Npc’s not falling down at death( or there names not saying there a corpse when there dead ),TK, Skawlra ,Fordiel and Ichtakhta area's are some i can remeber . 2% [ 4 ]
Being dismounted from your flying mount at chunk lines annoys the heck out of me, or the fall from the sky on your mount bug. Basically, fix the bugs with flying mounts. 2% [ 4 ]
Necro spell: Devouring Shadows DOT/Self Heal don't stack with other necros. 1% [ 2 ]
"You are not in a guild" bug - this happens even when the social server is working fine, and usually happens to random guild members off and on, including myself. Sometimes relogging once doesn't work and user must relog several times for it to "take". 0% [ 0 ]
Is the missing haste in the Rakurr buff not increasing the speed on auto attack considered a bug? if so... yeah fix it please 0% [ 0 ]
Rain/weather effects not working in Vista. 8% [ 15 ]
Chat channels not displaying correctly, IE the chat box may say Craft, but it will send the message to Regionsay, only way to find out what channels are linked to what number is /listchannels 6% [ 11 ]
What I would like to see fixed, is the bug that turns the Torch off when you move from one area to another 0% [ 0 ]
One thing that I'd like to see fixed, something that really bothers me, is that crafted throwing spears and hammers (and possibly others) do not have models. 0% [ 0 ]
The Thestran Human racial buffs do not display correctly, at least on my Dread Knight. 0% [ 0 ]
Flying mounts falling out of the sky. This bug seems to happen even when flying way up high, at times even when crossing chunks... Which also may not give parachute buff correctly and send you to your death if you can't respawn fast enough to land. 4% [ 7 ]
If you have multiple quests that reference the same location, and hand one of them in, the location vanishes from your journal for the other uncompleted quests, too. 2% [ 3 ]
Raid lockout bug. While raiding, some members may be randomly locked out of fights for no apparent reason. No amount of petitioning will restore loot to these people, as I have found the hard way. Have yet to discover a pattern to these lockouts. 7% [ 13 ]
Please make the galleons display the correct color. 1% [ 2 ]
Please fix the bug that stops you, even on horseback, when you hit a small rock, stick, invisible root, or basket. 1% [ 2 ]
Fix the bug that wont let you put an item in your bag when you have 1 open slot left. 0% [ 0 ]
Shield/martial sword/parry dagger evasion bug :Taking shield as example the higher is your base block (block from buff/str without shield) the less block you get from the shield, that's looking at defense tooltip wich is accurate when parsing. 3% [ 6 ]
Sort all crafting recipes in a meaningful way (by name, by tier, by continent, whatever, just so one no longer has to search a completely chaotic list from top to bottom). 6% [ 11 ]
fix bug - rifting multiple times or recalling (let's say after a long grind in a chunk) crashes you to desktop. this seems to happen more often when I am logged into vanguard for a while. possibly a memory leak? 2% [ 3 ]
Assuming trophy drops are still going to be an additional means of loot in Nexus / PantheonB, can you fix the bug where guild hall trophy buffs drop for no known reason? 0% [ 0 ]
When you wear an item that gives you the ability to use a special statement you have to unequip the item, re-equip the item, activate the item or else you get the error. "You are not wearing the required item to use this statement" when you clearly are 2% [ 3 ]
If you're holding a bow/crossbow but have some throwing weapons in your ammo case you can right click the thrown weapons to swap them for the bow... leaving the bow/crossow inside the ammo case. The problem with this is that if the bow/crossbow is left in 0% [ 0 ]
groups breaking when grouped and when you reinvite it says players already grouped then the whole group has to reform 3% [ 6 ]
I'd like to see tailor/leatherworker recipes get renamed to something like "Kojani Gloves" instead of "Kojani Hand Pattern" 1% [ 1 ]
The UI bug where part of it resets after you log out or crash or anything that makes you restart the game or even just log in on another character. Default UI , custom UI , nothing saves exactly as you put it. The chats boxes for one, always 1% [ 2 ]
Spellupgrades from tomes are broken in some cases. For example, the necromancers upgrade to Bone Chill; "Superior Bone Chill", does exactly the same amount of damage as the regular version. 1% [ 1 ]
Leader starts a trial and in the middle or end of the trial the quest drops for some poeple in the group. This happens for MANY trials. In particular - Sithril and the Protect a Faery one. 1% [ 2 ]
Fix slotted item links so they actually show when someone links an item that has been enhanced 1% [ 1 ]
The bug that doesn't allow the game to properly utilize SLI/Crossfire. 3% [ 6 ]
I would like to see the Lightbringer cures for poison and disease at least work as effectively as the bard and other classes. It's very frustrating to be a class specialized in curing disease and poisons and have to spam an ability that is granted by a go 1% [ 1 ]
I would like to see Soul Blight work on most/all mobs again. As I understand it it was turned off for raid level mobs because of how it affected Paladins and possibly Clerics; little to no attention was given to how turning it OFF affects Necros. There ha 1% [ 2 ]
Stackable items "needlessly" forming separate new stacks. 3% [ 6 ]
Client update on mob death 3% [ 5 ]

I shouldn't have to choose just one, as several I consider of equal priority. But only a handful of those I've ever encountered and some I consider big ones. Other characters their priorities will be different and I can't begrudge them that. If you're trying to figure out what impacts the most people you're probably not going figure it out accurately with a poll unless it allows for three weighted choices and does the poll in-game or at the station log-in screen or something where the majority of the playerbase will actually see it (Most players of MMOs don't regularly visit forums in my experience). 

These are the only ones I've encountered:

-Not having weather on Vista is a pretty glaring oversight and should be fixed immediately, considering that it effects such a large amount of people and the environment of vanguard is it's biggest selling point.

-Shield/evasion/parry is a issue related to combat effectiveness and defines how many classes survive; as such should it should be high priority. It affects my paladin's main role, and also impacts my monk's ability to go into a defensive posture with a martial blade.

-The bug with ranged weapon animations is probably the most glaringly bad animation bug of them all and has been around forever. Bad or buggy animations can be a huge turnoff to new players. Not seeing the thrown weapon in your hand before throwing it is also a big turnoff. I tried to get a friend into vanguard and he really wanted to be a ranger, but seeing himself throw an arrow was a dealbreaker. Also he thought it was stupid that he didn't see an arrow in the hand of the player as it was drawing back, considering this a major immersion breaking point. If a character's animations don't feel right then it's hard to get into a character. Animations also have a huge influence in my choice of MMO, I've turned away from others instantly because of it, and embraced others because if the combat looks cool then it's funner.  

-Not getting faster updates on mob HP is something I've found annoying sometimes, but I am not sure it has ever negatively impacted my gameplay to a huge degree. It might be different for other classes.

-I did run into the quest location issue, but I managed.

What was wrong with my bug?

Fix the raid ui bug where it shows 7 people in a group.

Right there on page 3.  Reposted because you deleted my original post, requesting general UI fixes.

Not an option.  Would have been the ONLY option to have addressed the raid ui bugs.  There isn't one now.  That was one of the primary impetuses for folks voting for bug fixes in a player choice update.

Failed poll.  Refuse to participate. 

This is evidently Forum Moderator's Choice Update.  That, or many of us evidently aren't players.

The one that fixes the problem with raidwindow and 7 people in the group, also the one that has peoples live not showing correctly, requiring 20 restarts to get an invite to a group after you crashed and not able to receive a rez until you restart also 20 times. that's my vote.

I believe Silius already mentioned that this wasn't just ONE bug which is why it wasn't included. That doesn't mean it's something that won't be looked into though.

I concur with the other posters.  Given that related issues were required to be broken out into separate "bugs" .  examples cited and another, chat channels wrong and/or you can chat but not in guild (says not in guild)  are related issues that should be considered a "bug" from the player perspective.  Now that the list has grown to this size even with administrative adjustments it only makes sense that we should be able to vote on more than one. especially in keeping with the title "players choice"

Just my opinion.

It isn't looking for only one to be fixed, but this way they can sort out which ones are most important from those who frequent the forums. Though even being the most popular doesn't mean that one will be selected to be fixed either.

Umm.. yeah.  You will exclude it from the "players choice poll results," which might just imply it isn't important to the players.

Sorry, but your poll fails utterly.  Go back and read the thread discussing why folks voted for bug fixes.  Raid UI was one of the most common bugs listed in that thread, yet you exclude it from your poll.  Failed poll, nuff said.  Not player's choice poll imo.

Besides, how the freak am I supposed to know how many bugs that comprises?  Asked what I want fixed, I said I want the 7 people in group 1 fixed.  That's a bug.  And that was my choice.  And you excluded it from the poll.  Fail.

Unfortunately the forum structure does not allow for that sort of option to take place, I think we'll have enough votes across the board to make some good things happen.

I also think that we might be able to take care of some of the other bugs along the way as well so you may end up seeing a good amount of these resolved in the future if not in the Player's Choice Update.

We did mention that this was not just one bug before hand, posting it again doesn't change that and thus we can't accept it as part of the Player's Choice Update to vote on. Like I said, this doesn't mean that it's something that we won't do, it's just one of the issues we can't include in the voting process.

I'll mention the bug as a concern that many folks would want to see fixed but we'll have to leave it at that for the time being.

i am with golbat on this one. players can identify issues.  dev team can analyze how they break out into bugs and work content.  Perhaps where this all went haywire was either expecting us to be the analysts, or taking our issues and breaking them apart until they were no longer recognizable via moderation.   Hopefully we wont have to do this again.

Making only one selection is way too limited SMILEY you really should give us 5 picks each that way you would get a better feel overall for what are the most pressing issues.  You would get a smoother distribution I think rather then a couple huge items for major problems and a sprinkling of other issues.

I see another thing missing, and that was about the blood bonding/drinking heart grafts for necros pets, that works correctly with the level 30 pet, but not with the level 50 one. This was brought up in the thread by me, but I can't see it here in the poll. Why was this bug taken off the poll?
