Week 3 of broken gear.

Its patch day trendy, are you going to fix our gear? 

Or will we soon be celebrating our 1 month anniversary of broken gear?

Get out your candles.

Hmm yeah its getting pretty late and still no patch....its possible they could patch us thursday right? Or is ps4 restricted to just tuesdays? I cant recall.

If they dont fix it, trendy could at least give us some in-game party hats to help us celebrate our anniversary.

Wow lucky i still have a stack of carnival fireworks in my inventory, let the party begin :P

And they cant even a post saying we are looking into it.

That means admitting guilt, which they are incapable of.

Yall need to get off that high horse though. A fix will come when it comes. This isn't pc, they can't do weekly patches for us. It cost them money to introduce a new patch. Every patch they pay for only gets one free hotfix. They want to make sure the fix actually,  you know,  fixes the problem.

Now that I've played devil's advocate, there is absolutely no reason that any small changes can't be applied server side. I called this out MONTHS ago. Games like guardians of middle earth bypassed Sony cert with server side hot fixes and balance changes all the time when it was much more expensive to patch, ya know the ps3 days..... what's your continued excuse trendy? Is is still sonys fault? I call bs.

If only anyone came here that actually worked for the company.... this lack of communication and outright lies were the reason I stopped playing months ago. Guess I should've never picked this game back up.

One last thing, don't hold the forum guys, or any trendy rep you see randomly pop up here accountable. From what I've read they work in the 3rd reich. Google that for youselves.  

Hey, at this time i would even be happy about a "we are still trying to fix this but we still have no idea why the same code changes fixed it on pc but not on ps4" or even a "we are not able to fix this, so go on and farm everything again" from official side.

On the danger of repeating myself: Even bad news are better than no news. Please keep us informed, Trendy.

yeah i would love to hear anything from trendy, whether they can fix it or not.

my perfect archers are gone, and i can't trust RNG to ever give me my archers back i've been farming for days now and nothing near what i used to have.

If your passives were a part of the reroll, the new values are the intended values. What I'm seeing in this thread though is that passives that were not a part of the reroll were rolled to minimum values when the balance changes went out before they were ready. I just spoke with QA, and they'd like a few save files to check out to help them track down the issue. So if a few of you fine folks could leave your PSN ID, we'll take a look into this. There are no guarantees that we can roll the passives back to their original values (in fact, I would say to expect that we can't unless I say otherwise), but we'll see what we can do.

my id is: trshy

all of my passives for all of the three abyss lords that i have are changed to the minimum.

and i really appreciate that you guys actually care for us, despite what other people say, thanks for replying and caring.  

Etownoilerfan is my psn id. I think it was only the stuff that I had equipped that didn't get rerolled. With regards to my archer, I have started to replace the old pieces with new ones that are 10%, but my eights are still in the inventory, hoping that one day, this can be resolved  .

PSN ID is madmanblazing. Who'd have thought :-/

[[63962,users]], [[4370,users]], legit, you rerolled EVERY single passive I owned (to the lowest value on legendary gear): tripwire, volatile schematics, phoenix luck, towering poison (which is still in the game :-/), iron core, defense critical chance, vector corrector, snowstorm, pyromania, etc. (I could list out the rest, but you know what they are).

It's so bad xD

PSN ID is danimaltastic. There are three 8% pieces left on my abyss lord that I haven't replaced yet. Deleted the 100's of possible replacements in my inventory already though. So any min value stuff I have, is mostly what's equipped on all my heroes that I haven't found better versions of. For example any hero with 3% crit chance gear or 2% tripwire.

Also am very doubtful this can still be fixed, unless you just handed us all max value gear. Which I don't see or even want to happen.

PSN ID is ajsasflaym

I can recall especially both purge evil polearms being at the same minimum percentage (280% i think), and if i recall it right, also the sword of unholy fire and for example the archers explosive arrows passive down to 185% everywhere (maybe i already deleted these...haven't played for a while now so not sure).

And my inventory is quite a mess, i'm warning you :P

But thanks again for at least trying to look into this for a possible fix.

Yeah, anyone have anything new to report post update?

Ok now I am just confused because you are now implying that this issue was not previously known. That is simply untrue and you yourself responded to a thread titled "patch didnt fix gear" on 6/28/16 and said you were surprised that the gear was not fixed (because you of course fixed it for your glorious supreme master race of PC players like what? The day after it broke?) and that there would be further investigation into the issue on PS4.

Obviously nothing was investigated and no one gave this issue a second thought after the first and only attempt to fix it failed. 

PS4 has enough issues and disadvantages compared to PC even without this kind of bs (like why are we STILL picking up and/or equipping items when we try to jump?). Yet instead of giving us the extra attention that we both need (can only do limited amount of patches, so they need to count) and deserve (100% paying playerbase) you treat us like some kind of *** child who only gets enough attention in order for you to keep up appearances. 

Your team obviously does not do anywhere near enough playtesting on either version, and arguably zero testing on PS4. Myself and others have said before that we doubt you use real PS4's to test the game as things like this and many others would have been easily noticed. You are either using a "PS4" program on your computers or you have some sort of modded PS4 or some other nonsense. I refuse to believe your testers are actually loading these updates onto normal PS4's with normal characters and legit gear and playing the updates without any special commands or add ons that would interfere with the testing.

But yeah yeah I know, its alpha, we are supposed to deal with bs and then report it so it gets fixed. Well, we report major gear breaking bugs and then get ignored. Whats the point then? We are holding up our end of the development process (which we paid to do) and you refuse to hold up yours causing us frustration and wasted time on something that is supposed to be fun and entertaining.

I have far to many characters to go and refarm all of their gear. Well I could, but whats the point if your just going to keep changing things and essentially wiping our gear and ignoring the things we say? So im done with this game untill you people stop hiding behind alpha and treating PS4 players like dirt.

 

[[155701,users]], we console players have been arguing these points for a while now with very little response. Still no word on passives, other than we may as well get rid of hoping our passives will come back to normal. [[63962,users]], making it real hard to continue grinding this game...sigh...

we are back to where we were with DD1 and get screwed over because Trendy thinks pc is more important then console.So i say next DD game they come out with they should just keep it to pc and see if they make as much money .They said the original 4 characters were supposed to be at the same level as the new characters but what they meant was pc will get all the good stuff and console/ps4 will get everything nerfed and we will just blame it on game being in Alpha.Sound familiar just like inDD1 were pc got new characters and gear when consoles got nerfed to weak as possible.

No we are not back to dd1. The difference is that with dd1 they said that they won't bring the rest to consoles in the end, whereas now with dd2 they promised to bring everything to consoles and they are still working hard on trying to fulfill this promise. We may have had delayes of parity between the platforms of like half a year and still months to go until we reach real parity, but the situation is way different with dd2 and i for myself am still confident they will reach this goal one day.

Yes they will and it will be that ONE day...because the next day will come and PC will get a patch and us "Lowly"PS4'ers will be waiting a week or 2 for same hot fix/patch that fixes PC but will somehow cause some more bugs/problems on PS4. Getting real frustrated with this game and its current state. Beginning to wonder why I even play it. Most people play games to release stress not generate more like playing this game does...just saying

Does anyone really care about this anymore? I mean, we've gone long enough without any indications things will be reversed. I doubt anyone is really holding out at this point & still has gear that needs to be rerolled...again :-/

I have already given up. I haven't played since EV2 came out broken. Between the lag, constant crashing, broken gear, etc etc etc...I just walked away. It's a shame too because the game has so much potential. If these issues ever get fixed I will return but I don't play video games to be frustrated.

Hey Defenders,

Sorry it took us a while to act on this, but some weird stuff happened in order to create this issue and we had to not only dig through that, but also create an entirely new re-roll function in order to handle this gear.  The good news is that we finished all of that today and your gear should be getting brand new, favorable rolls for their current passives when the Lavamancer release drops.
