The rare items is a bit out of hand i would have to agree, especially when it clearly states EPIC items after so many gifts have been opened thats why its Written in Purple letters. but whats worse is the fact that im now getting BOUND items out of Parcels I paid money out of pocket for. Ive now had to discard about 1.7 million ad in items i cant sell and dont need duplicates of so im still paying $1 per parcel for Sky beams and fireworks

Ok, 1) You are never guaranteed epic items. They are added to the loot table IN ADDITION TO the rest of the items. The drop rates are still very low. 2) There are only a few items in the Parcels (Staldorf and the refining tokens are the only 2 I can currently think of offhand) that are bound. Anything you get out of the Starlight BAGS will be bound to character by default.

Just wondering if there is any update on the PS4 situation or if anyone has a general idea when there will be an update...If we're not getting reimbursed like so many people are counting on I'd like to know A.S.A.P

Still might be another hour or so before people get in the office (based on when Andy and Julia get on Super-secret-moderator-chat). I'm sure they will have to have a meeting or 2 this morning, after coming back from vacation. I'd say, if you don't hear anything in the next 4 - 5 hours, I'll poke someone.

Isn't that rare Charger mount from the parcels bop as well?
Anyway, i bought 3 parcel packages, and the noteworthy drops were 1 Forgehammer of Gond, 1 Emebllished Apparatus of Gond, 2 Twisted Dwarf Scroll Cases, 1 Chicken Egg, 1 Apparatus of Gond, and several rare/uncommon companions/mounts...
12 Characters, all level 70, and i opened around 25-75 parcels/bags on them. It looks like the drop rate of good items is low enough, and you have to count in the replacement parcels here too. Not sure, why some players are suggesting to lower these drop rates even more...
Therefore i would like to suggest a small change here, if the drop is either an low ranking enchantment or an unidentified blue item, please consider adding at least a Starlight bag or Star to that loot.
I like Regenerde's idea about the stars that would work have opened a couple of hundred boxes and gotten mostly dross but my luck on chests is horrible

Thank you, and have a good start into 2017.
Yeah, you are right about that Charger mount. I forgot about that one, even though I have one plaguing my bags right now.

The fact that I already worked a full shift today and no one there has even posted so much as an update yet today worries me a bit...not sure where they're based but it's not early anywhere in the US at this point
PS4 players: No update at this time other than we're all back in the office and I'll touch base with miasmat on next steps. As soon as I know something, you'll know something.
Lil bit ridiculous no updates thus far on ps4. Xbox and PC were responded to pretty quick without a full staff. Now that they are well equipped to deal with this.... No developer updates or anything. Just given the shaft like ps4 lives don't matter. Lol
Seems to be ps4 doesn't matter, 15 hours or more to manually do PC and ps4.. I also paid for some parcels around $50 and still nothing not to mention the event is ending on the 5th.
I just find it odd that a company can have an issue (doesn't matter if it's large or small) that affects thousands of customers that are clearly bothered by said issue, yet they go radio silent for over a week. I understand it's the holidays but any other industry out there would have had internal conversations over the break and had a resolution in place for when they returned. Instead they make a passing comment about how they are going on vacation and it would be resolved after they returned on 1/2. Well, 1/2 has arrived and they have given nothing to PS4 players regarding a timeline other than when they hear something they'll let us know. I was on vacation the past week and responded to dozens of emails because they we important to my clients and ultimately me.

... and could you please ask, what is going on with that hidden level requirement for receiving anything else then Lumen and Stars from the gifts?
If this is pace they take when dealing with issues after already crediting Xbox and PC then looks like it will take a long time to spend anything on the game.. We all work or the majority of us do and are back from holidays and to no avail here we sit. We have already been waiting. First its 48 hours to fix and then Jan 2.. What's next February?? Yes I'm partially venting but no consoles should have been credited before the rest. If you wanted to do a fire and forget then do it all at once.. Sure you have limited resources but that's the job you took, the money we spend on the game you get paid with
I've done several rounds of 10+ gifts on level 20+ characters, and i haven't seen a single bag drop... all i get are Lumen and Stars. Some players have reported, that the bags start dropping for character above level 30+. It would just be nice to get some official word on it.
Lvl 15 is the magic number. I have been doing this event since the start, my family gets together everyday. 16 charactors 32 gifts to throw. it nomally takes roughly 2hrs to do. we have all noticed a drop in how many bags and stars that we have been getting. I think its just the RNG. happy new year!
Don't be surprised if they fix the second round of broken gifts for xbox and pc before they get around to PS4 players...I've never seen a company treat one segment of their customers so much worse than the rest
