Do you know what boot skin you were using before this happened?

nope. Ascalonian Protector Legguards DEFINITELY missing from wardrobe, despite dungeoneer.

I am specifically looking at the locked/unlocked skins from my bank

Do you know an approximate timeframe of when you unlocked that skin?

Hey, I just downloaded copies of several character/accounts from this thread, and all the skins that you mention as missing appear to be unlocked. I see sorcerer set for Darkon (except for the head), the AC legs for Udyr, and the Balthazar back for Twelve Shots. Seems the data hasn’t been lost at least.

Can you guys double check for me if they show up now that the beta weekend is over? There’s a lot of hiding/unhiding things going on for during beta weekends, so this might be a display bug.

Hi guys, I’ve identified the bug that’s causing this. I’m really sorry this didn’t get fixed sooner.

Downscaling + new system is weird

Hi, thanks for bringing this up.

I’ve looked into the down-scaling calculations and identified the bug that is causing this issue. There’s definitely a lot of stats being lost when scaled down that isn’t intended.

Hello Ryan,
thanks for this information.

Any tips on how to get name of those trolls that kick you from your own instance quickly?
There usually isn’t time to write anything down or to make any screenshots.

Thanks in advance!

There appears to be some nice debug messages for party join/leave that I’m going to see if I can turn into “LFG Messages” in the chat log which should make this easier…

As I mentioned in my thread on the topic, it would be great to have the number of needed kick votes increased to 3, to minimize griefing resulting from this change. Personally I always started my own dungeon parties to avoid kick-happy couples. Now there’s nothing to kep me safe. 2 votes have always been a bad idea, anyway. Not even a majority.

I actually agree with you. I would have liked to increase the vote count a majority with this change, but unfortunately not all the pieces of code around party votes are set up in a way to make this a quick and easy change.

We were aware of the possible issues with the instance ownership change, but felt that holding back an improvement to the base experience on account of trolls was unfair to users that are playing nice.

Stealing instances using the LFG tool, or booting people for no reason (or to give your buddy the rewards for no work) at the end of a run are bannable offenses and should be reported.

Magic Find % in Hero dialog

There’s definitely a bug here. The achievement bonuses aren’t being applied.

This is unrelated to the display bug where magic find while having a boon doesn’t show up in the stats screen.

Thanks for the report!

Account Wallet... I love this!

I’m wondering if this wallet will simply replace the bank for the achievement. Some of us don’t have the golden title yet (getting close)

The “Golden” title can still be acquired, simply by having 200g, since depositing coins into the bank is no longer possible.

The Magic Find is correctly being applied when you roll for loot, but the Hero Panel isn’t able to show some conditional bonuses. This is just a display issue.

Event Participation Problems In Large Groups

We are aware that when there are a huge number of players in an event, it can be difficult to reach Gold participation levels (or sometimes even Bronze). This is especially the case in boss events.

We are working on making participation easier to achieve in this situation.

Pets and a Lack of F2 Responsiveness

A fix for part b) is in the works. This should also help mitigate the issues of part c) since you won’t have to mash F2 so much, though I am also aware of this issue.

Part a) varies depending on each pet, so perhaps a list of the ones that are particularly troublesome could help to get them looked at =)
