== Instable Moebius ==

Hey, I got your message. The reason I changed the build name was really just that instable is not a word. If the author really prefers to use a non-existent word for a slight pun, he/she is welcome to revert the name change. I just thought that using proper English was more practical. And, at the time, I was trying to fix up the names of some of the builds in the untested sections (i.e. X/Any --> X/any, misspellings, etc.) so I may have just assumed it was an typo especially considering the poorly written page.

== Regarding earlier ==
  +
  +
You see, I checked the discussion pages and the history of the pages related to the dungeon and neither gave me conclusive evidence that anyone had "bug" related issues other than yourself (since you were the only one talknig about bugs in discussion and you were the one who numerated the "bugs"). The fact that I typed the message in question in my edit summary, should tell you that it was nothing but a brief description, and I was not going to nit-pick details in something people normally leave blank.
  +
  +
But if this is what you were looking for...
  +
The "bugs" are simple logic issues with "if-then" statements and if all conditions are not met then a certain output is produced. Wurms are unable to be spotted when they aren't agroo'd since they are underground. Doors don't open unless frostmaw spawns are killed etc. Frostmaw the Kinslayer will not spawn unless all other wurms are killed. Its just a series of issues that could have sprouted from one small issue. The game is not perfect, however not being able to locate an invisible (underground) enemy and having several "bugs" branching from the problem is almost absurd.
  +
  +
  +
An example was Maw the Mountain Heart... the necromancer boss from Prophecies who was said not to spawn , and Anet addressed the issue back when wurms were extremely buggy and they also stated that the boss was not bugged any more than any other wurm. (for instance collisions, you could stand inside the wurm and it would be unable to strike you with melee dmg)
  +
  +
An example of a tested bug... when wurms from GW:EN move, they remain "above ground" while their trail can be seen below ground. When the wurm arrives at its destination it is almost as if it had shadow-stepped, because it instantly teleports.
  +
  +
Before reporting a bug, protocol involves investigating, much like science. You really should prove the bug is in existance, prior to posting, since all you did was just centralize the views of other persons. [[User:The Black Leach|The Black Leach]] 22:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

  +
  +
Are you ignorant? You just revert for the reason that I ACCUSED you? The fact remains that the bugs were simple issues that individual players had. What do you want me to do? Edit it again and not leave any comment? Before posting "facts" that you are unsure of (since you havent tested any of these yourself) on pages viewed by the public you should probably post in the discussion page, along with the other people who post bugs without discussion. I MORE than understand that you centralized the issues, but the issues were not proven to begin with, and you just took them for granted. Do not make this an edit war. If you take a case to court and do not have significant evidence to prove something your case gets thrown out. You haven't proven anything except immaturity.

*Making a new page just to list bugs doesn't conform to our policies for article creation; it did not belong in the mainspace.
  +
*To both of you: Less namecalling plx. This is not a game-breaking issue and it is only your two's personal power struggles which has escalated the conflict into seeming serious.
  +
*Mr. Leach: You are correct that bugs without hard evidence should be questioned and perhaps removed if no such bug can be proven.
  +
*Ms. Bioskop: You are correct that simply removing bug notices without proper discussion is a bad thing, and perhaps a bit hypocritical.
  +
*Both of you: Because it seems to be a controversial "he said, she said" issue. I've deleted the page and moved the listed Bugs to the Talkpage of [[Cold Vengeance]]. Discuss there; if bugs can be proven, put on the main page. If they can not be proven, leave them on the talkpage as a record that the quest ''once was'' bugged. Since they did happen to at least one person who can testify to them. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] ([[User_talk:Entropy|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Entropy|C]]) 03:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
