Meteoric Star Ruby not working?

[Macenzie]

That would mean removing a huge number of things from the store.

Last night I found 2 Meteoric Rubys that are procing in thunderforged swords. The toon using them has never tred and the rubys are very old but so are the ones that are not procing. She is lvl 34 and the ones not procing are in lvl 7 staffs.

So, what are we supposed to do here? Shrug our shoulders and say "Oh, well"?

I have five toons I run, and each of them have at least three weapons with MSRs slotted in.

Yeah, I expect them to work. Call me entitled!!

If they don't work, they should stop selling them on the store.

Stop selling DDO?

Have these ever been in any bank?

None of my MSR work or my eyes. I put in a ticket maybe six months ago something like that they did answer it. They said tough luck. Essentially, they said there’s nothing they can do. I was annoyed for a while, but then I just decided to forget about it.

Raided yesterday with a paladin using (I think) an SoS - and a meteor proc’d constantly. He is a (very) long time player- maybe was using a very old gem. Having said that, all my non- functioning gems date from 2016/17

SOS don't have an Aug slot if I recall correctly.

Edit: Only the Epic version does.

The thing is though, this issue would be something that needs to be sorted by the content/code Devs, and not something any of the normal CS teams will be able to solve. So a response of nothing they can do would be accurate. The most they could do if the issue was reported in detail would be a bug report so that someone eventually sees it and fixes it.

Personally, not sure if I mentioned this prior, but we had something like this before if I remember right, someone noticed one fo their Colourless Augments were not able to be extracted, or was returning the wrong one out. I tested on higher value ones and couldn't find the issue but there was a possibility of the one that was raised was actually impacted by having the effect look up from the wrong starting point inside a file, so starting at index 0001 instead of 0000, resulting in the unslotter giving weird results. And given we know individual items can have individual effects break after working, as well as items not being able to be fixed after their item is no longer a standard item in DDO. I suspect that the old working Eyes and Meteor not working is due to a similar situation, which again means a Dev who is working on that area looking into it and directing the effect back to where it should be to fix the Eyes and Meteor Rubies.

There's no telling

Okay, get me a number to the content/code devs and I'll be happy to call them.

Mine have been working as normal. Y'all still having issues? Did they fix it with the latest patches?

 

[Igognito]

I have a rubie like that banked. I was thinking of using it but didn't took the risk. I went and got a ruby from Giandhold. If anyone knows if the big was fixed, it would be highly appreciated.
Cheers

Anymore I try not to slot anything that has a %chance of going off, lol.

Hey all, I slotted my erosion ruby. It hasn't proc until now .

I slotted it on a thunderstorms t0 weapon.
I still have a rightfullness ruby and a meteoric.
All three are banked rubies from a few years ago (2020-2021?).

It is possible that I bought on AH or found them. I think the meteoric it was given to me by a veteran.

Cheers

I recently, on another thread, heard about dupped items. If that is the case, and the dupped rubies stopped to work it is fine but it would be better if the items just got destroyed instead of stop to function.
Anyhow, I think we should report the ruby bug.

I don't think there's even a way to distinguish a duped ruby from a genuine one, it's just game data for the same item and both fakes and real stack together in a bag. Also,

Let me put this to rest right away.

ALL the elemental rubies I slotted (the ones attuned to the classic elements) I own were dropped in game, not duped, not bought, dropped while running high level quest during the years. I haven't tested all of them nor do I care but the 3 I did were not working.

- The ice one was slotted on handwraps from ToEE (the old elemental weapons) fully upgraded. Never worked in all my Aasimar monk lives.

- The fire and elecrtic ones I had slotted on Epic noxious fang (throwing dagger) stopped working even before the monk lives.

Not a single one of those rubies is working anymore.

Ancients? Totally. Duped? Hell naw.

I have meteoric and other kind of ruby eyes too that were either dropped, bought or gifted in the past. Just making the point for rubies I KNOW were not duped and legitimately obtained in game.

 

[Macenzie]

I have never bought a ruby from anywhere apart from the DDO store and mine still don't work.

 

[Igognito]

TBH I do not remember how I have got my rubies. I remember 1 was a gift a long time ago and it was working.
The other 2 I have I think I found them at Thunderholme but I cant be certain after so many years

 

[mpetty0226]

It would be nice if we could get a response and current status as to if these are beeing fixed or not from ssg.

 

[Blaster]

It’s got nothing to do with duping, as others have pointed out, a lot of these are items that are for the most part from the store, looted from a chest directly, or from an event. Find another boogeyman to blame.
