Matrix Cubes bug/Maintenance 5/10

[Harnace]

Sounds like a reasonable assumption. Now, who wants to take bets on what this patch will break. For me, I say.... companion gear will unequip every time you dismiss them.

I'm gonna guess all our gear will be deleted when we login.

It would be awesome if it was something funny, like it made everyone looked like they were naked.

It's going to either a) reset my Valor Rank to 1 or b) Turn all my characters into Level 1 Snipers

Looks like the patch they wanted to do wasn't working = / Hopefully this will be fixed soon though...

I hope they fix it before Saturday AEST because my Vanguard will be sad when he has to tank Ops without a second relic. Had to buy the PVP one on my Assassin just to fill in the extra slot for the time being.

stop being so dramatic! we've already done EV, KP and EC without the relics last night...it's not that big of a deal and certainly not a necessity in order to complete any of them on ANY difficulty.

Eh, it's not the end of the world (as long as the succeed in replacing them) but it is annoying to know you aren't playing to your potential do to some random bug.

the matrix cube is worth 132 stats in total at the best rank. that's 10-15X as much as the average benefit you get for upgrading a item modification from 27 to 28, or from advanced to mastercraft. i don't want to ignore that's quite a hit, but still, it's not going to ruin your DPS. it's like augment slot gear: it's pretty nice to have, but you're not going to lose your shit over not having augment slots on 3 items.

of course, i don't even have a level 50 yet, so what do i know?

They are apparently working on getting an updated time on when the fix for this will be patched in and should hopefully be able to tell us something soon.

I think the big thing to remember is the game is balanced around you NOT having those augment slots and the matrix cube, so having them really just puts you ahead of the curve. Of course, min/maxers will always be ahead of the curve anyway.

Ok so it will be tomorrow instead:

would you rather them leave in the game breaking bug with the matrix cubes?

[Crimsonfiend76]

im not the person to ask since i would be biased...

a.) i dont have a level 50 yet, leveling 6 alts simultanously (25-33 atm)

b.) i live in PST and often get home late from work, by the time i get ready to sit down to play, 'oh look...2 freaking hours till servers shut down'.

c.) im not a developer, but have worked with them, that being said, for anything less than a significant / major content patch, rolling restarts would be nice instead of complete server shutdowns more than once a week to address issues affecting only specific segments of the server population.

...ergo, once D3 arrives, i'll finally have something to do during maintenance.

[Koalachan]

a) This bug affects more than just 50s. Some of us bothered making matrix cubes while we were leveling because the extra stats are nice, and there's aren't too many relic slots while leveling.

b) So am I? what's the point? It's worse for people in the EU.

c) Even certain other larger MMO-gaming company admits that rolling restarts and hotfixes are nice, but don't solve everything. I think items being deleted do to faulty coding trying to solve other things would probably fall under that.

[Crimsonfiend76]

that being said, i dont have a problem with maintenance per se, just when it continues to happen more than once a week, on a seemingly regular basis.

as for a bug that has needed attention since 1.2 dropped, i'd like to see the problem with sith warriors not being able to have their breathing masks show up, be finally addressed. after rolling my 2nd sith warrior to 25+, the last thing i want to do is have to re-roll to another race just because of this bug.

I've seen a couple people complain about helmets, but this is the first I've heard specifically naming warriors and breathing masks. I know my breathing mask is showing up right, so I wonder if it might only be certain ones, or maybe certain races?

Mine isn't working on my pure sith jugg, I think it may just be pure sith though.

That could be it. I'm human.

I was in no way being dramatic whatsoever. In fact, I think your reply was more dramatic than what I initially said :P.
