Im all for the devs enjoying their xmas holiday, id like to enjoy mine as well seeing as how spent my xmas money on this Secondly a week ago I lost a Shard of Orcus Wand after grinding for 3months and lost it cause the server crashed as i was claiming it, I was told by PWE there was nothing they could do, because they "CAN NOT MANUALLY ADD ITEMS TO AN ACCOUNT"! Well this proves that was a Lie,so if im waiting another week to recieve my parcels i hope it includes that Orcus Shard. Miasmat Thanks for all your incredible work and patients, im just a little ticked that PWE lied to me.
The problem is not that they technically cannot do it. The problem is that they cannot trust player statement 'I lost X' without logs to back it up. If they trusted player statements without logs, it would be open to mass abuse.
If you lose gear to crash as you are looting it, there most likely will be no log entry for it, so you are out of luck.
I am on ps4 in North America. I have bought over 50 of those parcels before the fix. I have yet to see any compensation. Should I still be expecting anything soon? Is there a time frame?
Truthfully, I am not terribly upset about the bug, but more or less upset that the majority of users on other systems have received the compensation already. Ps4 is always getting shafted
Alas, it is the holiday season. I am thrilled at the response tIme towards the bug. Also, for what you had to do with very little manpower is very impressive. For that gratitude is in order. So thanks for your hard work. Happy Holidays.

Do you have a real time frame for the ps4 users or any useful info for us?
Unfortunately, no. I have to leave town on Saturday evening. Without an automated solution, there's no way I'd get through PS4 by then. The people who can help me with it are all out of the country on vacations (who knew December was a good time to go to Europe?) and won't be available to help until we're back in the office Jan 2. I'll try a few more things Saturday morning, but I really doubt I'll be able to kick something off before I have to leave. I'm really sorry about that, but we'll work out the rest of the details before the winter festival ends.
So what about the specific Simril vendors of the event - with us PS4 users apparently not getting compensation until after the event is over, how are we to spend the currency gained from the compensated gifts? Will there be an extension of the vendors in which we use the event currency for?
Thank you for all your hard work and I hope you have a safe and happy holiday I was wondering, are the S's complete? My Shining Moon should be getting 28 or 29. My Leliana got her packages but my Laidan Mahariel didn't.
I likely have made some mistakes along the way today, so once Dragon is done, I'll go back and double-check that I actually hit everyone that I meant to.
drider's children want a gifts too...

The winter event ends proper on jan 5. The reason why some areas say it ends on Dec 29 is because that is when the second half (zenith) of the event starts.
What fix i just bought 20 parcels and only got useless blue gear if this what is to be expected in later events and game play my money will be better spent elsewhere dont even get me started on the lockbox drop rate
I usually wouldnt even bother and i frankly never ever felt the need of defending this company, but frankly you guys are just spoiled brats. This guy is awake at IDK what hour of the morning still to give people some virtual gifts whereas its christmas eve soon and he has a family. Don't you think there's more important to do this weekend than crying over virtual craps? He's doing his best manually since thursday. But no, let's complain more instead of being grateful a little for this developper who for once in the story of cryptic is showing more care than anyone else.
That being said and sorry i needed to vent because it goes beyond my understanding, thanks @miasmat for all you've been doing and if i could i would just send you back home and tell you to have some family time during this moment of the year.

blue gear is specifically what they fixed. prior to the fix, you would not have received the blue items. everything else is working as it should. (in theory)
if you read the parcel it tells you that the "highly-sought-after rewards" come after opening 20, so you only just reached that threshold.

I loved your updates. So so so impressed and sorry for you that you had to do this manually - and alone! You sir, deserve an extra jolly present from Santa (or more than a dreidel for Hanukkah, or insert whatever combo works for your situation).
I would like to pass along my thanks to @miasmat for giving up his holiday to make this right for so many people. My characters have all got their replacement parcels. So many thanks and I hope you are not too tired to enjoy what is left of your Christmas break

Great work, honestly a lot more than I expected and I would have done in your place. Were it me, I would have just given unided rare gear to each player equal to the numbers of parcels they had opened, which would have guarenteed they got their missing drops and a bunch more <.<
To all the people complaining, really, you have no good reason to complain.

I just wanted to say thank you to the devs for compensating us all due to the bug; thta's very kind of you all. Also wanted to say Happy Holidays to all the devs & mods!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year For some reason, about a third of my characters got Gifts of Simril added along with the Starlight Parcels?
I guess that means more gifts to share, and not sell for gold or whatnot, that so many, many, maaaaannny people seem to do.
Remember people, it's not a "gift" if you charge for it...
Anyways, it was good to see all this handled in a proper way, many thanks to the poor people having to do all this work manually, and over the Holidays, I hope Santa brings lots of gifts for you
@miasmat - Thank You. All resonable peeps here do know how much effort you put in sloving that issue (farankly - if its all about blue items you shoudnt even bother). You really rock man. Now go home and have wonderfull Christmas. And if by any luck I will ever meet you personal - I would be honored to shake your hand and buy you a beer.
All parcels received on all characters, really impressive to get it done before the holiday break, great job Cryptic! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all and all of the Neverwinter community!
