Meteoric Star Ruby not working?

[J1NG]

I have a new theory, about to go and test it now, will report back the theory and test results later. Should give us more info to work with and any Dev to track down the issue to resolve.

So how did the testing go?

So how did the testing go?

Sadly I have not yet completed this test yet, as other tests came up needing more immediate attention and also ultra busy IRL. The other issue is this particular test has a requirement/condition that must be met and that has not been met yet (limited by RNG); until I get that condition to happen, I can not test this out properly to confirm.

I will update with findings once RNG gives us the test condition we need to fulfill this test.

Most people saying they dont work anymore should be the test results. SSG hasn't even commented on the issue, and continues to sell them on the store. If they were procing on every other swing, they would do something about it.

I'm still periodically use my two-handed thunder-forged sword with the eye of erosion.
It hasn't proc. So for me the bug is still there.

The Meteoric Star Ruby in my ML18 Bone Crusher Q-Staff is working as expected. I slotted the Ruby several years ago.

I just levelled a build using some very old daggers with Meteoric Star Ruby slotted in different level versions, and I saw it proc every now and then also.

To be clear, they were slotted in the "legacy" augment slots, so they're from a while back.

 

[Igognito]

New kind of slot for me. The weapon, ruby was from before, so it was converted.

Anybody checked if they get some other visual and/or sound instead of those of the Meteoric Star Ruby?

RNG ?

Assuning ran number gen..

 

[Igognito]

Mine as I mentioned it is the eye of erosion. No sound or visual effects. I also tried it at the dummy looking at combat. Nothing mentioned at combat.

Yes.

The test has only two ways to test it out. One requires using DDO points to purchase Eye augments from the DDO store, but carries risk that way too that it's flawed (because not generated and just dropped in). The less troubled way is via RNG giving me the drop of one of the Eye augments in a chest; this has not happened yet, but I have every toon that runs stuff and tests to carry the appropriate setting(s) and equipment where if RNG gives me an Eye augment I can test if it's a particular mechanic/system of DDO that's at fault or not.

For what is worth, Haunted Halls of Eveningstar (extended version) has a higher chance of dropping ruby eyes in the end chest.*

*higher chance as 0,1% if you're lucky.

Well all this assumes that whats store-bought is somehow different from the looted equivalent.

My 2cp on the matter... I'm betting that the proc is tied to a given level range. Be it either player, item or target. Go too far above or below that range and the item fails to prok. Stupid idea i know, but SSH has implemented systems that were no less brilliant out of shear laziness or greed before.

Edit: Such legacy systems are not known to scale well if at all, so there is also that.

No, and yes.

No because they are the same.

Yes because there's a mechanic/system in DDO that will do something with them and there's a difference from DDO Store entering your pack and from spawn in chest.

It is not. Tested this previously using ML weapons at different ranges.

For clarification in case forum goers think I only tested ML, I tested it at various levels too.

Yep, was already running this, but RNG has decided not to assist here. So it remains an untested result thus far.

It has something to do with newly slotted ruby's. My one's from a couple of years ago work fine. The new one's slotted in the last year do not proc at all. Not sure what update broke these as I don't play my melee's much, but again it is only the one's that were slotted in the last year or so that do not work. Hope that helps.

Mine slotted from years ago doesn't work; so it's more complex than just that.

Ugh, didn't know this was bugged. Just slotted an old one into a sword of the clouds and it's not working at all. GDI this sucks.

Ruby Eye of the Glacier also doesn't work. Wasted 2 kits now on this stupid nonsense that somehow isn't fixed half a year later.

Put a 2d6 cold in and it works fine. Sword of Clouds, tasty ham, greater bold trinket and draconic arms all working together. Meteoric and Glacier rubies not working at all even with everything else shut/not equipped.

Anything with a %chance of going off may or may not work, dosn't matter what it is.
