Isn’t it time to finally fix droprate (enable it) for missing HoT maps meta event infusions? Chak Egg Sac is enabled and drops, but the remaining three still do not. Infusions I’m talking about:
Vial of Liquid Aurillium – item was found once (by apparently someone who hacked it in), which added it to API but it was never enabled as a drop.
Verdant Brink Thingy – we don’t know the name or effect but we know it’s there because devs said each map has one special infusion.
Leyline Chromatic Effect – the rainbow chromatic desynchronization effect that leylines have, we don’t know the exact name but we do know it’s appearance (in DS medium leyline armor user NPC has this aura on her and she is the only one who has this effect).

Next to that Mistward Weapons are still missing and suprisingly new Renegade Shortbow looks just like the rest of the set, so can you please finally fix the missing items again?

The Vial of Liquid Aurillium was implemented properly a while back according to the patch notes.

It still it leaves 2 infusions totally undroppable then. And Mistward weapons.

What are you talking about? All leystone armor sets have this effect. My Mesmer has been using a few pieces for more than a year now. Besides, I don’t see the use of adding an extremely rare drop that gives you an aura effect that is already active on much easier obtainable items.

  • Vial of Liquid Aurillium – item was found once (by apparently someone who hacked it in), which added it to API but it was never enabled as a drop.

The current supply on the TP is 8.

  • Verdant Brink Thingy – we don’t know the name or effect but we know it’s there because devs said each map has one special infusion.

Do you have a link? I’d love to save it for future reference, especially as I don’t remember them saying it.

  • Leyline Chromatic Effect – the rainbow chromatic desynchronization effect that leylines have, we don’t know the exact name but we do know it’s appearance (in DS medium leyline armor user NPC has this aura on her and she is the only one who has this effect).

Is this “missing” from the game as in there’s an item but we don’t know how to obtain it? Or are you asking ANet to add it, because you speculate that it must (or at least, should) exist, since the effect appears to be separate from the armor?

There are some effects that aren’t connected to items; isn’t it more likely that this is one of them?

  • Mistward Weapons are still missing

These were lost; they are missing from ANet’s backups (and no, that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, either, but that’s apparently what happened). They have to recreate them (not quite from scratch, since remnants of the details remain).

…how can they be lost from the game, if the chatcodes still work?

You’re right, they’re not “lost”, they’re still in the game.

At the moment they’re just not “hooked up” to anything so there is no way they can be acquired. I can only assume they originally intended to have some means where revenants could unlock these, probably something like the mistward armour collections (maybe it was those collections or that method that was “lost”).

It’s pretty apparent that their release schedule leaves them little time for fixing or adding “old” content but at this late stage they should simply mail a skin item copy to anyone with a revenant.
