Is it happening again? Tin foil hat time!

I don't envy Chris's position on this issue. But I also feel really bad for the people who lost valuable items.

This bug happened to me personally twice. I lost a ring and had to buy a new one for 7 ex and a few days later I lost a bunch of stacks of low currency (alts, jewelers, chroms, less than 1 stack of fusings) as well as a 20% quality lvl 5 fire penetration gem.

I can live with the loss. I can say yeah it sucks I lost that stuff, but at least my legacies, 6 links, and high currency were left untouched.

But what about the people who were ruined? The person who lost stacks of exalts? The person whose legacy shavs got bricked? The person who lost their windripper?

I would be infuriated if I lost something like that. At the time I was really pissed at my own losses, but in the grand scheme of things I got off easy.

I hope GGG figures how to restore the items lost. Even if it takes 100s of man hours, even if it delays act 4.

Did you lose items from your stash?
I only checked my equipped items. I have to try and look now.

I'm not sure if it should delay act 4. GGG probably relies on the influx of money with the release. However, after that? Yes absolutely.

Just copying in what I wrote in the announcement thread.

We are extremely sorry that this problem occurred. It is unacceptable for players to lose items on the live servers and we deeply regret not being able to resolve it to everyone's satisfaction.



Have steps been taken (or are going to be taken) to be able to adress this issue should a similar thing happen in the future? I sure hope so...

Yes I did. In my first stash tab. It was confirmed by GGG via an email.

This must've felt like a kick in the balls...

GGG pls gibb back my money from my bank account, after i ran path of exile my money desynced out of my account and instead 10 bilion euro i have 10 euro.
There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with no pants over there
Telling me I've got to beware...
From what I understood, some items lost important mods. That means, that someone might have Kaom's Heart with sockets, or perhaps goddess scorned that only uses 1 slot? Correct me, if I am wrong.

It depends on how those mods are implemented. It is possible that something like this could have occurred, but since both of those mods are common to ALL uniques of that type, it probably is stored as such and not as a mod on each specific item. In that case, no, it would not have happened.

Not exactly. From what we were able to see, every time items were bugged, they got actually nerfed, in one, or another way, or just radically disappeared.
Obviously to fit the game's basic mindset.
