Just want to make sure we are clear that this is something we have very specifically decided not to do. We do not ever want to put a player in the position where they are picking between these types of rewards and power. They can go into pools where they are all together and power is not an option like blessings. But it is very carefully done so that the timelines which have these types of rewards don’t have any character power rewards.

This is a very hard rule that would require monumental shifts to be even remotely considered.

I’m just starting a build to validate the fix I just finished 10mins ago.

I don’t think so because it’s not like it’s making checkpoints really. If anything this would probably increase the chance by forcing you onto more servers. Pure speculation on my part by the way, please don’t think that staying logged in will help either.

I have a fix for the cause that I’m just about to send for testing. I’m still working on a system to fix everyone’s stash that has hit this.

We aren’t intentionally doing something that causes a rollback. There are a few bugs which can cause the servers to get confused as to what the most recent data is and a newer version of your characters gets overwritten with an “older” one. Technically it is a newer one but it’s not the most recent one you were in control of. It’s a long story but we are working on it and we have some solutions in the pipe that are being validated. There is no way you can tell if it’s going to happen as a player and there is no specific behavior that I can recommend avoiding in order to reduce your chances of experiencing one.

We know all too well how frustrating this is and it is a top priority to fix. This is one of those things that must be fixed.

We considered a system extremely similar to this for several months. We found that it ends up boiling down to free trade with more steps. It doesn’t restrict RMT and has some restrictions that the players have communicated to us that they largely don’t want. I’m sorry but we would need to make some big change to make this work.

For the time being, we are going to implement the system layed out in the item factions post.

I’m pretty sure this is all the same but that I’ve been working on. From what I can tell, the data isn’t gone. The information on how to display the stash is bugged so it can’t display the tabs. I’m hoping to fix it in such a way that all the tabs come back.

It is possible that there are multiple problems and some won’t return.

Please roll this into the main topic for the issue that has several official replies.

And please be more appropriate over there too.

This is a known visual bug. You can still allocate the points.

I have identified the issue and am working on a fix plus a way to fix the stashes that have fallen victim to this problem. From what I can tell so far, if it’s all the same issue that I can reliably reproduce, the stash tabs are just not being displayed properly and the items should still be there. I’m hoping to have an update next week.

I’m sorry, we just have too many of these threads already. Can we move this to one of those?

We considered this and it is not easy to implement. It’s easy to describe but that’s nowhere near the same thing. I know things can seem easy without all the information on how underlying and adjacent systems are implemented but this is not simple, quick, easy, or performant to implement.

LE has always been 5 skills on your bar. You used to be able to assign your left mouse button to do the same thing as one of your 5 action bar slots. This did not add a 6th unique action bar slot. We are going to bring this back, it was a bug which caused the problem.

Keys for each dungeon can drop from any zone which is higher level than the entrance to the dungeon.

Which you can get from any zone that is higher level than the entrance to the dungeon itself.

That is as high as Artem has. The soul gambler can go higher.

I’m sorry I don’t know. I don’t really have any more info on the situation yet. I know people much smarter than I are working on it though.

We know that people are getting sent to servers far from them. We are working to make sure that this isn’t a problem going forward. In our investigation, we pulled the stats for the ping checks when it is looking for a server and it is successfully placing everyone in the lowest ping server.

This is not giving players the best play experience and we are working to remedy this.

It is placing people in the lowest ping server when it is checking the servers to see which is the lowest ping.

It shouldn’t take us as long as 1.0. That would be terrible.

Yes, we have no intention of setting up a system where you make a list of what you want and if it ever drops the game auto puts it in your inventory and you never have to pick up anything ever again.
