Great suggestions from both Nekrage and Kralith here. I'm hoping that the chat will be a focus during the next inter-regnum. It's super to have the different channels - now we need some more functionality. Status changes for party members (and guild members too - coming online or logging off) and a (please God?) mute/ignore toggle would add so much and take so little effort.
Yes. There are definitely some kinks in the way city life works - the fields, the trading post, the upkeep... Good suggestions, guys!
I'm hoping that the devs will polish things up a bit before dropping too much new content. There are QoL features that need attention as well -
I'm esp hopeful that soon we'll be able to trade 1 on 1 w party members & friends while traveling & mute/ignore in the global chat 
Once again, @Kralith FTW w documentation that nails down a specific need.

I don't know now, but in the last test it was a blunt weapon. It's an easy way to test: equip a quarterstaff, create a talent loadout with blunt weapon proficiencies, and one without. Change between the 2 loadouts and check the stats.
Thanks for a good idea re workaround. I can do this. I was just hoping someone might know. If it was a blunt weapon in the last test, that's good enough for me 
I have since crafted a warhammer, which is a lovely blunt weapon. DOWN go the wolfpacks in one swing

I didn't even know I entered lol. Thanks so much either way.
Any constructive post is an entry, m8! Congrats!!
Here's to the generosity represented by this long list 
I took a screenshot of my warhammer before I logged out today. Channeling my inner Kralith
@Ostaff said in [Towns] Rank System with logical mistake?:
that and I highly doubt Kralith wants do do all that work that Specter has too!! Though I am sure Specter would be VERY happy to lessen his load!
I see the two of them having very different fortes - Specter is the moderator and 'fixer'. Kralith is the vigilant documenter of found issues. Their talent sets are complimentary and VERY helpful.
I have had this happen with the war hammer I crafted yesterday. It was a t2 damage increase buff that was showing as 0% when I look at the weapon in my character screen.
I decided to wait and see whether it disappeared or amended when I logged out and back in today bc I figured others would have posted about this issue.
@Kralith - do you have any enchanted weapons w metal components? Have you already documented/screen shotted this?
That's so weird. I haven't had that happen at all, and I've done a lot of editing in my talent trees, just for the f of it.
I'm building a fighter toon and looking at the talent tree. There's a nice branch for 'blunt weapon' proficiency and it seems like a quarterstaff would qualify (the 2-handed war hammers do...). But there's no way to verify this.
The weapon description for a couple of weapons that are new for this test explicitly designates them as 'blunt' but quarterstaff doesn't.
Checked the wiki, asked in game. Can someone here help me out? Thanks!
uh-oh! Do the buffs show up at all? is it just the '0/4' or '2/2' that's not there anymore?
or does the buff not show up at all?
I'm not fussed about the movement keys, but I do agree with @Ostaff that @Prometheus & the devs should catch up on QoL before introducing more content.
The house bug lingered WAY too long, and that would be enough to discourage me altogether if I were a new player who had spent 3 days building a nice big home for myself and then couldn't put a fireplace in it. I really appreciate the ability to see party members on the minimap, at last.
Spending some time catching that stuff up will sell the game more effectively than adding way more content for the next alpha, imo. There are plenty of suggestions on the forum to look over.
The one QoL suggestion that IS new content is the ability to do personal trading 1 to 1. Being able to transfer inventory btw members of a party would do just fine and seems like it should be an easy thing to patch in.
Similarly, welcome new content QoL for me would be the ability to mute/block dbags and trolls on global chat and the introduction of a few basic emotes like /greet 
/bow & /applaud
I've had that happen. It goes away quickly but it's weird, huh?

You know what? I could have come here and responded in a way that seems caring and supportive of your stance in an attempt to get you to try the game again but as soon as you called the devs and this community "incompetent retards" that was out of the question.
You were rude as fuck
This. Exactly this. And then he doubled down on it. This community doesn't need to coddle the feelings of anyone who still uses the word 'retard'. Period.
I'm a Christian pacifist but I don't suffer assholes gladly. There's the door, asshole. Take anyone else who thinks that shit is ok with you.
Gonna suggest less free keys for the next test. There are plenty in this forum like myself, who know what the game is and what an alpha test is but can't afford alpha buy-in. We're happy to earn our keys and help test the game for you @Prometheus
Did anyone stream this?

" I also think that the window should stay open like our Inventory and Chests do when we access them, why should we have to constantly go back to opening it after we already have?"
#THIS
Thank you.
Wow. Sorry this wasn't your thing, @insomnia
Please be careful on your way out the door. As we say in the south, "Bless your heart."
I love the creativity this game is engendering! Who's gonna open Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Myr? 
realistically, it would make more sense (to me personally) to have a silo where sacks could be stored and the upkeep would be automatically deducted, instead of making sacks of stuff, putting them in a cart, and bringing them to the town hall.
@Kralith is just pointing out a problem with the default setting for 'open this unit' that adds unnecessary clicks to an already tedious process. Not saying piling grain into my wagon shouldn't be tedious at all (that's realistic!). Just saying it shouldn't be unrealistically, needlessly tedious.
