"My Bug Reports" view.
There is a new link when you visit the bugs site, "My Bug reports" which allows you to view all bug reports you have submitted using the account you logged in with.
Here's what it looks like:
This view lists the title of the Bug, it's current status, and when it was reported. Very soon we will also add a column that will show, assuming that the Bug Report you submitted was either made into a defect or added to an existing defect, which patch your bug was fixed in!
And last, but certainly not least…
Edit your Bug Reports
It is now possible to re-open and edit Bug Reports that you have submitted. This is done through the "My Bug Reports" page using the following steps:
1. Select the bug report you wish to edit
2. Select "Edit/Reopen bug report"
3. Make your changes
4. Press submit
Your bug report will then be updated in our system, this allows you to attach new or additional files as well as make corrections, add more information, or provide more details.
You can also close out your own bug reports now.. just in case you accidentaly submitted a duplicate, or realize that it's not really a bug.
Revelations 2.1 Patch Deployed
The Revelations 2.1 patch has been deployed and Tranquility has returned to service. If you have an issue after the deployment, please check the Known Issues page to see if the Dev Team is already aware of it and submit a bug report. If you are unsure of what has been changed in this patch, please take a look at the Patch Notes page. You can also take a look at the announcement thread for this patch. If you wish to give feedback on the patch, please use this thread.
After the patch was deployed we put up Tranquility in VIP mode for testing purposes, this was done to make sure everything worked as intended. The testing took a bit extra time and therefore the patch deployment took a bit more than originally announced. The autopatcher was kept off until we were sure everything was as it should be. Tranquility is now open and we hope you'll enjoy the new patch!
