Epic Ring of Buccaneer

[Kaldaka]

I didn't see any other threads on this but was wondering, have they changed it ...

See http://ddowiki.com/page/Epic_Ring_of...r_%28Tier_3%29 and compare to:



The pro +5 is not there and neither is the +6 redundant dex that happened last time ... I put in stone of change in case it would do something, but nope ... was a tier one from last event that was upgraded two tiers this event if that helps.

Just curious WAI??

2nd time I've heard this....

It seems that:
a fully made RoB from the first event, when put into the stone of change would get it's +5 prot.
A partially made RoB from the first event, would be rejected by the stone of change.
A partially made roB from the first event won't get the +5 Prot if finished this time, nor will the Stone of change work.
A RoB made completely now will have it's +5 prot.

I can swear someone with a dev title once said to send them a pm when wierd stuff like this happens.
(checked)

I would send maphinkkinator (sp) and/or 404error details on this and hope they could make it right. I would also abstain from complaining in the PM and be best of buds untill you get some kind of action - say something funny in your pm to make them laugh, it might help.

Social engineering goes a long way when trying to get your way with CSR's.

I have a ring from the first event, tier1. I noticed that it didn't have the protection on it. I threw it into the stone of change yesterday, and it "repaired" perfectly.

[delsoboss]

EDIT: This post is wrong

I remember that when the event first came the description of the ring said it had prot +5 but it hadn't, when people started complaining the devs stated they will fix that, but future iterations of the event would have the ring without the +5 prot because that was an oversight.

EDIT: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=308688 page 8, post 153.
Here's the dev post that talked about the fix, and it being retroactive, and the fact that Euphonia's Barter Box description was bugged.

I put mine in the stone of change and it said 'Stone of Change Failure' and nothing happened.

That doesn't explain why those who made the full ring from tier one on during this event got the +5 prot on it or why some putting it in the SoC had their fix ... See post #2 and post #5 in this thread.

[Kaldaka]

I can definitely confirm that the tier one from the current CC event gives +5 prot:

[delsoboss]

My bad, my previous post is wrong, i made another T3 Epic Ring of The Buccaneer and it has the +5 protection so you were right bug-reporting it.

[Kaldaka]

Decided to experiment, I had another tier one Epic ring from previous cove. Placed it into stone of change and it gained +5 protection ...

It seems once upgraded in the current CC event, the old rings will no longer work in stone of change. If we only knew then what we know now /sigh ...

So the information from post #2 in this thread appears correct.

[Chai]

Made 2 of these - one on a Sarlona toon and one on a Thelanis toon. Neither had the +5 protection on it. However....

On the Sarlona toon I placed the ring into the stone of change and it "repaired" the ring putting the +5 protection property on it. On the Thelanis toon I placed it in the stone of change and it was rejected. No +5 protection added. Rings were both made within 10 minutes of eachother. Both were made to tier 3 before trying the stone of change.

My rhetorical question is: Why are there more than one set of code for this ring? Where is the database failure occurring that is pointing to one bugged version for one ring while the other one points to the correct version the next time around?

This is like pulling the lever on a slot machine each time we make one of these. Will you get the bugged version, or will you get the correct version? No whammies no whammies big bucks big bucks no whammies STOP!!! /cringe, /look, awwww, no prot +5 on this one. /sigh 2200 more crystals down the tube.

This is being looked into.

I loved that show!! +1 for reference

I'm on Thelanis. I made a thread about this same problem just a few days ago. Had a tier1 Lvl20 ROB from previous cove event upgraded it to tier 2, no protection property, tossed it in Stone of Change... got failure message. The consensus from the community was i had messed up my ring by upgrading it before tossing it into the stone of change to fix the prot issue. No dev responded. I did bug report it.

*shrugs* I ended up tossing it as a waste of effort and lesson learned.

Yeah that show was awesome, and the analogy perfectly describes whats going through my mind when creating this item.

[Baahb3]

I'll add to this as well.

A buddy of mine had a tier 3 from the first event and it updated fine in the stone of change.

I had a tier I from first event, upgraded it to tier 2 this time around then popped it in the stone of change and it was rejected, no +5 showed up.

Same problem as Kaldaka (on Ghallanda).
I tried Stone of change, nothing happens except failure.

I hope 404error can help us on this.
Thank you to don't forget us .

[Stanley_Nicholas]

This problem is affecting me as well. Had a tier 1 epic ring from last time, and upgraded it this time around. Wish I knew to put it in the stone of change first... :/

[Sibs74]

I had a ROB T2 from the 1st time round repeat and it gained the Prot +5/repaired ok in the Stone of Change. I'm on Sarlona.

So seems that on Sarlona at least, if you try to repair before upgrading, it's ok.
