UMD bypass keeps changing

[Cedwin]

At first I was able to equip items if I bypassed the UMD requirements while equipping them, and then keep them equipped until I log out and back in.

Then it did a UMD check whenever my UMD changed, and would auto un-equip the items if my UMD wasn't high enough.

Then it was changed back to the first way, then the second, and now it's back to the first way again... is this a bug or what? Why does it keep changing?

You ever seen a toddler try to play a game of Whack-a-Mole?

That's what bug fixing is like in a complex program. :o

What that fella up there means is UMD was bugged, apparently for years. If you, say, equip yer Deleras gloves and that gives you enough UMD to equip Chaosgarde the bug allows you to keep the garde on even when your UMD falls below the needed score.

They tried to 'fix' this, and this fix is what you experienced with items unequipping.
But the fix didn't take. So they reverted back to the bug.

A fix is supposedly coming.

Maybe.

Maybe soon.

Maybe.

Maybe soon.

Soon™? ;)

I thought I had read about a fix on this, but then couldn't find the post. Seems like they keep fixing it, then breaking it, with every other update.
