For all people who read Update 79.1 earlier - RING isn't added!!!

[Chaotix]

So, folks as usual, 1st announcement of Update 79.1 had info that ring is finally added, but...

This unfortunately is an error, this checkin did not make it into the build and will instead be in Update 80.

So, before u guys start to burn shards today, once again NO RING in game.

SSG at their finest...

When you're at the circus...

 

[Konsumer]

And no notification to the customer base at all right?

For those who don't know, the ring is the Legendary Argonnessen Eye Band from Burning Down the House, iirc.

I really have to wonder what is so GD difficult to get ONE piece of gear (that no one asked for or needs) to drop in one quest.

It's absolutely asinine.

Have a pillow handy to bite down on and go read the EULA again.

The EULA explains everything you need to know about how SSG views its customers.

Apparently stolen shards are the most delicious shards of all.

And if you look at the staff tracker list, this is all you see, which makes it look like Cordovan's comment was in regard to the Quick Cutter fix.

Seriously... People actually expected SSG to do something that was needed, promised, or was intended to be part of a release, only to be disappointed not once but twice.

Just imagine for a moment.... Monkey + Football

Hmm.... I wonder if people that bought rerolls get refunded

This warning should be in the launcher. As a 'Please note this correction to the patch notes'.

I suspect I'm typical in terms of being a long-term not currently active player that:
- only reads patch notes and,
- the forums very occasionally (not including the dev tracker just whatever jumps out from thread titles on the first page).

I was painfully close to logging on to farm for the ring tonight.
