Starlight Parcels

arkantosdrakon

Compared to last year, there is something seriously wrong with the rewards, i have opened waaaay too many gifts that do not include what they are supposed to according to the tool tip, I am referring to the things listed as this pack also contains one of the following (or something like that)

Seems as alot of the gifts are bugged and omitting those other rewards and only give gift of Simiril and novelty. Last year you would get a gift of Simiril, a novelty item AND something from what is stated in the tool tip ever single time be it a scroll of life, retrain token, enchantments, weapon transmute, companion, mount...etc. Devs...what is going on? why are we getting such crappyou rewards? I don't even want to open my gifts or buy any from the zen market until this issue is addressed!

Small update regarding the parcels! http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1226509/

We recommend you just hold on to your unopened parcels until a fix can be made. Thanks!

Interesting. Well, 48 hours isn't too long to wait to open parcels, thanks for the update.

RNG is RNG, type of reward is not the problem, the problem is that it does not give correct amount of rewards from some parcels

True, but the only item I can see not dropping is the junk equipment. So, it's no great loss for me. Others may want the junk.

Since it is only junk equipment not dropping, I don't expect much of a make up reward from them.

The item it is not dropping is the 3rd item from the 'This parcel also contains one of the following' loot table, which is where the best rewards come from.

I think the issue is that some packages just don't reward a third item period, with no specific category being the cause. That's the bug that they've identified

The fix is rolling out at 12am pdt btw. We're all getting credited with however many parcels we obtained before the fix.

I am due to get some serious scarves! Glad they found a fix and can put it in. It is also nice they are refunding all previously opened parcels, that is nice.

Yeah, I didn't know what to expect. Seen a lot of negative views on the compensation record, but Arc surely went all out here.

I am SO prepared for a lot of R5 enchants!! (Because Gond is a dream....)

Scammed again. If you got nothing good then put in ti'(m??

Zephyria, I've read the tooltip, but where in the second section does it say, 'Winter Novelties'? Considering it says you WILL get one of the following, and not "You may".



I'm not really running around Sharandar atm Mordekai, focusing more on Well of Dragons, and levelling other toons with the x2 xp event. Though I probably should, just for the final two boons.

Forget Well of Dragons.
Go to Winter Festival and get stuck into crafting.
Get a gold fishing rod, and fish. Keep crafting lures and use them. Don't be too concerned over the colour of the fishing hole. Its the treasures not the fish you're interested in.
In the past day and half I've picked up over a dozen Linus, and if I keep up at the rate I'm going I'll have all 80 before the event ends.
It's not the most exciting way to spend a week, but compared to the time/AD needed to get those favours othewise...

Bottle of wine, some Christmas music, and settle back and fish... every now and then join a skirmish or demo queue for a break and watch as your campaign currency increases.

WoD for the resonance stones lol, not the Linus. Already managed to get 20 from fishing, I got the Legendary rod on day 1 of the festival

Closing this up as it has been derailed, and there's an official thread about the original subject. Thanks.
