Dear Devs, when will this be fixed?

[Takeva]

Try again in 10 years.
That's when it'll happen...but don't get your hopes up.
Your damn kids, kids will be playing this game and deal with the same ol' problems.
The time it takes to get things done in this game is ages. -.-

LOL that's very true.
It's just that one of the problems about this is that when reported, we were given the option of using I one-time item restore. There is no way I'd use it on just getting a mist and on something that wasn't my fault. A couple of people on reddit had actually used theirs. I'd rather save it for something big and it was actually my bad.

Hmm.. Here's my opinion. Thank you very much, Takeva, for making this known to the general public.

I was not aware of this bug, and will change my behavior (buy mists when I'm under 800 myth) for my 50 White Mage. I wish you all the best for your problem - hope SE takes a look at it and addresses it as soon as possible, because I do believe you.

Some people are set, molded and baked into their mindset and you cannot convince them, no matter how hard you try. If it's causing you any grief, I'd suggest not trying to convince them, as it's an exercise in futility.

I'm quite glad I could help. I'm really not upset. It's not the players I want to convince. I just want it looked into. Shouldn't take much time if it isn't a problem. Or just that support be informed and stop asking players to use their one-time item restore. Should tell them that the problem is being looked into or something.

How can anyone doubt it? The very first link has a screenshot proving it.

"You obtain a bottle of Thavnairian Mist."
"The valor coronet is placed in your armoury chest."

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!


Oh wait...

I posted the original Reddit thread because I witnessed it happen to a friend of mine first hand. People need to acknowledge that it is not simply a coincidence that every single account of the bug involves a player receiving the same slot item. This is a very rare bug affecting a very small portion of the game's population. You're not going to get video proof because it is way too expensive to attempt to reproduce.

Plenty of people have managed to purchase their own Mist without issue, that doesn't confirm that it works 100% of the time. You are naive to think that your first hand experiences account for everyone else's in the world.

I believe that some of us wants to better understand how the bug manifests, we're chiming in with our experiences with purchasing myth items but it does not mean do not believe that some are plagued with the reported bug.

The best course of action now is to let the devs investigate it some either resolve the issue or be able to explain it.

Wow: it sucks that there is a person who got banned for just submitting the report...

This is why I got out of the gaming industry. Too much politics and bureaucracy obstructing cold, hard evidence. Now gainfully employed as infrastructure engineer where they leave you to your own devices most of the time...

Too many unknowns, we can't take everything on the internet at face value, without accompanying evidence, we cannot possibly be objective and arrive at a logical conclusion.

You aren't adding anything of value to this thread. People are being affected by it. Go play your game and stop trying to shit over people trying to get help.

The thread itself adds no value or whatsoever if it cannot take disagreements or different perspectives, it seems that all it wants are people to agree to the opening post

The channel to get help is via Customer Support, posting in the General Discussion forums cannot possibly get you any help, if having exhausted your options to get help via Customer Support, perhaps the best course of action is to wait for a dev update like what the dev response said

Greetings Drennik,

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with Thavnairian Mist and Valor Coronet Bug. This matter has already been brought to our attention and is currently under investigation by development. I recommend checking Here or Here for any updates in the future!
