[2021] Fully Crafted Gear

In the blog post from June 18th, it was stated that the Web of Spies Milestone rewards would include “fully crafted gear”. Now that the event is live, the aforementioned gear clearly isn’t present in the milestones. We had originally intended to have fully crafted gear in the milestone, but decided to instead grant pieces that are more generally applicable and useful to the players. For reasons like this, we usually don’t announce events until the week prior to release, as there can still be changes to the details. In this instance, it was announced two weeks ahead of the event, and obviously some details did change. This was an error on the part of the Community team, and we won’t repeat this misstep.

The team is currently working on the compensation package for the downtime of Web of Spies, and they are taking this situation into consideration in discussing the contents. We are targeting sending out this compensation by the end of next week and greatly appreciate your patience in the meantime.
