5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.

Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.

A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

Threads that make threats or use other combative language are not allowed.

We apologize for the error that led to the Epic rings to have over-inflated stats. Hopefully everyone can understand that an Epic ring shouldn't perform better than similar Legendary or Mythic and recognize that it was an error that needed to be fixed.

Seems like STS will probably delete the rant threads/comments

Still I feel bad for anyone that wasted there money

[frejajoan]

uhoh.. deleted post... and reposted!

nice update!
I just posted this on the other update:

Bug found:
Players below lvl 35 are able to click 'join' from social and join elite maps.

Thanks!

[Szaniuski]

I do not accept the apology as many other Players ... you pay for the mistakes and not hide behind the rules!

[Derezzzed]

Again "you gambled and lost" comes up, although nothing probably will happen, maybe STS can compensate somehow, there about to have ALOT of rage posts all over the forums (although that's nothing new really)

Hey Bmwmsix,

The elixirs store their state when the server comes down so they shouldn't be removed from that. If you would please, email our Support Team at support@spacetimestudios.com so they can look into what happened with your Elixirs.

Ur rely on the idea "we should have known these rings, being epics, were over powered". If we have to guess what u guys intentions/mistakes are couldn't we just as easily have guessed "these rings are supposed to be legendary and they just labeled them wrong?". U guys have made similar statements that the problem was so evident we should have known better. F that's the case then why didn't u catch it in testing/review?Maybe we assumed a dev entered the items values in a table, reviewed his or her work, then sent it to QA department where it passed inspection before the update was released. Then maybe we assumed u had a weekend to check on forums to see all the posts about the rings and no changes or comments were made so we assumed everything was like it was supposed to be.

This isn't treating others the way u want to be treated. This is making people pay for mistakes u have made.

• Free Platinum Offers have returned to normal payout.
• Disable pesky popups! You now have the option to disable the use of context player menus outside of town. This is the menu that pops up when tapping on another player to inspect, trade, or invite, etc. This option is enabled by default, which provides identical behavior for those that do not wish to change their current setup.
• Skeleton, Crystal, Pirate and Inferno rings have had their damage and armor value scaled down to be more in line with where an epic should be.

Owch - Just spent most of my gold on one of those pirate rings :-(

Oh well, I'll make the money back eventually.

TY for eliminating those annoying popup menus!

Sam,

Why can't you form a group of beta testers for your games? I'm sure many of us would do it for free, under a typical MMO beta-testing contract, etc. Shuyal has been pretty bad with detrimental "mistakes" leaking through. A beta team would catch all these things that you devs are unable to see (because you're focused on other stuff).

[Szaniuski]

Could be something far larger group of Players would have the idea of ​​what was happening, was that advertising is also pretty good and certainly less error by at least 30% to be met in a global issue

[Instanthumor]

Darn...spent so much money on my pirate ring...

[Badassthor]

Many of these players spent over a million just to buy these rings, and after these rings got nerfed, they are worthless for both the players and the market. I suggest buffing the rings to have about 3.5 damage to solve this problem. Players now will not be not satisfied and these rings would not be able to match up with the mythics and legendaries.

[Raito Yagami]

i am sad.........
i lost money in buy that pirate epic ='(
and now is nerfed............

[octavos]

Angry?!?!? Play BD..sorry thought I would throw that out there. XD
As for the rings...an obvious bug..is obvious...epics are never supposed to be better then legendary and mythic. But I do believe it was misclassified like wvhills said tho considering StG has a QA department. was ment to be a legendary, but since so many got the rings..they just decided to do the nurf instead. this would greatly taint the market. They only change something that breaks game play to give new players a chance..same changes happened to elix hoarding, weapon nerfs, elite jaral nurf, ect....now who remembers those changes?!?!

[mokdaddd]

first i was mad too, but its our fault for sure it was bugged cuz its and epic ring and first when we have seen it was a shock 7,5 dmg what ring is that ( arcane) no its an epic so something was wrong from the start so sts decide to fix the bug when the next patch was coming.

[chitgoks]

im still using this "epic" ring now (fatality for mage) since it has better stats than my lvl 31 ring. the 7.8 dmg would have been nice though

[faychen]

Should have buff mythic ring instead of nurff pirate ring..Mmm I suspect that you guys gonna release new set of mythic ring and amu.

I didn't waste my gold on a ring.... BUT...

I reallt feel that sts should have announced the error waaaaay sooner than just dropping a surprise update fix.... kinda like putting salt on the wound... think that's bad bussiness.

[Derezzzed]

I'd like to announce that although it wasn't in the patch notes, "Malgo" now drops (it was bugged and didn't)
