Still active
Today is the date for the new patch. Although the patch isn’t up, the message and the LS might be on a timer and thus showing it as inactive. I’d try to activate it in the Hero panel if you haven’t already, but I fear that the message was timed. Had you logged in by yesterday I’m sure it would have unlocked.
It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
