Ring of the Buccaneer Retroactive

As many of you have suggested, the fix we've decided to go with here is to make it such that any tier of the Epic Ring of the Buccaneer can be placed in the Stone of Change, and it will come out with the properties it should have had in the first place. You won't need to include any extra ingredients; just put any tier of the ring in the device and it will handle things from there. Each tier will get Protection +5 as originally advertised, and the recipe will even pull off the redundant Dexterity +6 effect in the case of tiers 2 and 3 (which both already have Dexterity +7). The tier 3 ring will lose its augment crystal if you slotted one, but other than that, the rings will suffer no loss as a result of being corrected by the Stone of Change.

Thanks for voicing your concerns, everyone- it was an unfortunate oversight that Euphonia's barter shop claimed that the ring had Protection +5 when it actually didn't, so we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.

I'm glad to hear that. I crafted a few rings, and I really don't want to go back just make them all over again even though I think the pirate event is awesome.

Is this fix going to be implemented in Update 9, or is it being implemented as we speak?

We're in the Lamannia Forums. I'll give you one guess.

Awesome Genasi.

Now where do I go to complain that the ring from the Crystal Cove event is overpowered and should be nerfed!

Well now i can't say every time they"fix"something that was helpful to players it gets a retro fix and when they don't it requires us to use tokens or suck it up.

TY for doing the right thing on this one.

Now I feel really sad that I choose to level up my Fvs instead of wasting time upgrading broken rings that wouldn't be fixed that now will be fixed. I hope I won't have to wait 11 months, but I put those characters on the back burner for now while I work on Fvs and Sorc goodness. Nice to be fixed, but bad communication during the whole ordeal.

Thanks.

We can do it!

@OP please update your OP to include this so that people who don't read through the whole thread (understandably) don't end up posting about fixing what they have already acknowledged...

Kisses, hugs and other stuff.

Thanks

Well I'm not going to complain because this for sure makes many people happy. In hindsight now, I should have went ahead and risked upgrading to tier 3 but I actually saved back ingredients hoping the event or even just the barter box might reappear for a short while in order to get a working tier 3 ring. So, really good move by Turbine but here's a vote for letting Euphonia back out "soon" for people like myself who opted not to spend ingredients based on notes pointing toward a future means at getting the upgraded ring... I can't be the only one!

Probably. But that’s how it’s always been for repairs like this. Any chance you could use the slotted ring on another character that doesn’t need the protection +5? They’re still BtA even when slotted.

[Genasi]

Kobold still hate... nah, forget it

Hahaha, okay, you got an LoL out of me for that one.

It'll be in for Update 9.

What about fixing the stacking seeker +2

I had a look at this and it too will be fixed for Update 9.

Now where do I go to complain that the ring from the Crystal Cove event is overpowered and should be nerfed!

Well now, that's a separate issue, isn't it? Careful what you wish for!

Actually, thank you for asking: I double-checked this and it looks like I was mistaken. Often, when we make major changes to an epic item, giving you a new copy of the item is the only way for us to make it possible for you to update it, and that results in a fresh augment slot. But good news- the nature of this fix is such that your augment slot won't be cleared.

It's good to hear this. 30 tokens would be a fairly high time loss.

Ok, if the devs keep fixing these problems what are we supposed to whine and /ragequit over?

Go check out the monk DC/ki generation thread -- they're picking up the slack, don't worry

[The_Cataclysm]

So while you are fixing event items, what about epic swashbuckler? It still isn't a small shield, the guardbreaking effect is now useless since you nerfed the effect (it needed to be nerfed but it went to far) and riposte is completely useless.

+1 this post was both informative and helpfull. But more importantly I lol'ed.

Yeah, I was really just throwing a backhanded compliment the Devs way. The ol' surgar is beeter than vinigar ploy! I actually agree with you that Monks are getting slapped around alot this issue, all in the name of "we've been meaning to fix ther uberness for some time".

[eterna1_drag0n]

Thank-you for doing the right thing +1 to the dev and customer service departments! They deserve some Pizza!
