[Suggestion] Gameplay Bugs and the forum

[Rainer]

In the Known Bugs List :
If you could sort the bugs by hero name after its priority (Severe,moderate etc) or adding the name of hero to the name of thread ; we could find the reported bugs easily (some reported bugs don't have the hero name on them and remembering the name of every spell is not possible)

And i appreciate a faster bug fixing job from Devs (and a simple comment in some bugs to say that they can't fix that bug ATM and it needs some more time would be good too)
Having 400+ unfixed bugs is not good at all.

And one final thing : i would be happy to know how many people are officially working on bugs and how volunteer moderators are connected to them

Sorry for my English

remembering the name of every spell is not possible

It's possible.

[Rainer]

It's possible.

lol ( not always )

Previously, it was indicated that the current format was sufficient from the developer side, but since then it has become more of a tool for the testers than developers, we could consider reformatting by hero. I will see about making a new list if I have time (even if we do reformat, I would like to keep the old version for a while just in case), else anyone is free to make one too.

Bugs are sometimes worked on an ad-hoc manner, it would be very costly in terms of resources to keep their own lists updated, as well as on the forum. For the same reason, mods only communicate with the developers over PMs on complex or confusing issues, else communication would be very inefficent. We are also able to notify them of critical bugs for priority attention.

If you don't mind, moving this so it doesn't block up the front page.

This would help a LOT for people searching bugs about a hero (not talking about a bugtracker with filters... :P). In addition, similar threads should have sort of a "link" (Nyx/Lions impale range was bugged, only Nyx got fixed).

[ThoAppelsin]

Recently I've been using more and more [table]s in my reports. I personally think that they look good and make the report look neat for most of the cases.
I think it could be used for making such a hero oriented bugs list look more readable, instead of a wall of text. It could be like, A's in one table, B's on another one right beneath, C's on the next one and so on. One will have to scroll down for the initials, and scroll sideways to get to the specific hero

[Kryil-]

Something like this? I just tested it, and tables use a LOT more space. Empty fields have the same value as the last filled before (everything below "game" means "game", until "interface" comes, the same with "severe").

Affected	Bug	Severity
Game	Pause exploit	Severe
	rarely unit models are not selectable/targetable (Night Stalker, Rubick)
	['12.08.16] Several teleportation issues beyond explanation
	Aegis Exploit
	it's possible to put skill point into action skills (throw snowball)	Moderate
Interface	Item icons get stuck on screen (again)	Severe
	Heropicker not initializing
Crashs	['12.08.18] Client Crash (possibly when using Shadow Raze near Rosh Pit)	Severe
	['12.08.18] Client Crash (possibly when using Shadow Raze near Rosh Pit)
	['12.08.03] Client Crash when using BH, WoR, Tombstone and other spells in roshpit
	['12.07.10] Possible client crash pressumably caused by rubick using shadowraze
	['12.07.10] Possible source of client crash pressumably caused by naga's song of the siren
	Team disconnect bug at rosh pit
	yet another team disconnect @ rosh pit
	Client Crash in teamfight
	and another crash at roshpit
	undisclosed game-crash @ rosh pit
Meepo	It is possible to get multi-/ultrakills on meepo (with clones) with spells such as Caustic finale	Severe
Tusk	Picking Tuskar crashes the game for the enemy players ("Bone R5C2 is larger than cloth size")	Severe
	Tusk [Snowball] occasionally ends up teleporting the group of units to random places of the map
Towers	Towers still have the wrong BAT	Moderate

[ThoAppelsin]

Nope, rather like this:


A

Alchemist: [Unstable Concoction] damages and stuns Familiars [Chemical Rage] is unable to dodge AoE stuns not his own self-stun [Unstable Concoction] doesn't have the permanent range indicator when active [Unstable Concoction] gets buggy if a second one is brewed while the first is still in flight etc.

Ancient Apparition: [Ice Blast] can apply the debuff on invulnerable units [Ice Blast]'s shatter kill ends the ability effects like Diabolic Edict and Epicenter to end prematurely [Ice Blast] fails to grant the kill to Ancient Apparition when shatter is triggered with self damage (and counts as a suicide instead) [Ice Blast] should be preventing any sort of increase on the Current HP, but currently fails to do so on some cases [Ice Blast] does strange things if launched twice before landing one with the assistance of a Refresher Orb etc.

Anti-Mage: Something something is broken and should be like that I think it lacks the minimum blink range, but I cannot find that on the list Actually there is a minimum blink range setting, but it fails to work, lol devs Maybe there are some more but I don't know

Axe: [Berserkers Call] fails to call if the hero trying to get called was casting a non-DOTA_ABILITY_BEHAVIOR_DONT_RESUME_MOVEMENT flagged spell [Culling Blade]'s lethal damage gets reflected with Blade Mail [Battle Hunger] is not being dispelled by killing illusions etc.

Etc: etcetc

B

Bane: [Enfeeble] is castable on the Spirit Bear [Fiend's Grip]'s channeling bar does not update to be 7 seconds with Aghanim's Scepter upgrade etc.

Batrider: [Flamebreak] affects Familiars etc.

Etc: etc.

I have set the column width 750px with a trick, reducing it down to 400~600px may look better, idk. But this is the general idea

[Kaneomanie]

Severity is completly pointless if you are searching for a bug of a certain hero, remembering all spell names is very possible and if you want to report a bug/search for one, looking up the spell name ingame is hardly too much to ask.

[lunatic3k]

Nope, rather like this:

i hate horizontal scroll...

[Noya]

remembering the name of every spell is not possible

Do you even lift?
That's like, intermediate level.

http://wonderfulfailure.com/dotaquiz/hard/ -> Now we can talk about what's impossible to remember for every spell. (just did 3280 points with 4 max in a row, nothing too impressive)

Having 400+ unfixed bugs is not good at all.

It's actually double than that, we reached 800 this month.

i hate horizontal scroll...

+1, sorry Appelsin. Colors, [ * ] and [ list ] are perfect though.

I can help if needed, lets agree on the format and we can split a range of letters.

[ThoAppelsin]

whyy =(
800 lines one under another is so impossible to read... whatever, like I ever read

[lunatic3k]

whyy =(
800 lines one under another is so impossible to read... whatever, like I ever read

mainly because i cant scroll using wheel

also because of this in FF (search for "culli(ng blade)"

[Kryil-]

Well, I don't think we need ThoAppels tables, but I think it's easier to find stuff if it's sorted by heros and not for severity. Even if a keyword is missing, you could be searching it then, what's impossible currently.

I thought that i remember every spells name but in time i couldn't find a bug easily because i forgot the name and i remember when i wanted to search about a bug with relocate the name relocate or wisp was not on the bug name and that makes finding so hard !
btw impossible was not the appropriate word!
