With that being said, please accept this spoiler as my apologies for the inconvenience -

hmm first or 2nd stage ring?

I owe a apology, Seems to not be so scary lol:)

Oh please don't make that ring upgrade exist. That's unfair for people who already worked hard and spent their arigora coins to upgrade the ring !!

This notice came way too late for some of us. We all assumed the usual 1 week after earning period. We don't always check the forums and the notice was tacked on at the end of the news page, which means we don't even see it clearly should we use the rewards link on the relevant news page.

Imagine our shock when we log on the day after the maintenance, after work to find the ending date has been changed to the day before, rather than a week later. That is a lot of charge points lost.

This in no way helps or reimburses the ppl that use a Solar Slaughter ring ?

@msbehaven no, solar ring is used for the pdef+mdef version of arena ring.
You should see this as reimbursement for the NW rings upgrade cost only. Not their refinement.

@maksim1995 still a nice option to have. I'm curious about the neck or is this just an addition to the normal NW forge perhap? Still a side upgrade option from the ravager cape and ppl who have star destiny is very much welcomed I am curious about the other tabs

It's just an addition, these tabs you see on a screenshot are from Nation Wars forge, so I guess they just adding G17 items to Access. tab. Thing is, using NW forge gives you a 2nd ring cast instead of 1st one which I find very unfair for players who went for G17 ring (1st cast) at Katrina Starblaze (Arena) NPC. Just my thoughts..
R.I.P. 15k coins

Hi, is a  ring Compensation for who lost the bônus points ?

Will there be a way for players like me (who purchased and lost the reward points) to get the rewards offered during that period? Because there are players like me who only wanted the rewards offered during that period and is at a lost now because the rewards page is now changed. Even if the lost points were restored back to players, there will still be a lost, because some players only purchased enough reward points to redeem a specific reward only offered during that period.

I really hope PWI give us a chance to get the rewards we wanted to redeem during that period, otherwise, its a lost of money to players like me because I only charged Zen for the rewards offered during that period. If there will be no way to get those specific rewards when the points are restored, it's still a big lost.

So, how will you handle the players that already crafted the 1st cast of the ring because we no longer have the basic ring? We can't upgrade our bound star's destiny now without it? Will there be a way to uncraft our existing rings for the basic ring and the coins back?
Thanks

@kalystconquerer#0876 @bangbang ^this. I already contacted Support team and their answer was something I was expecting for tbh, like really. Basically they refuse to give all the required mats to craft 2nd cast from 1st one, neither they want to send Arigora Coins or Star's Culmination (Basic) Ring / Fingerbead Item back.

These bandaid fixes... Am I understanding this right? Those who used Mortal|Solar Slaughter|Manifestation or Fingerbead and got their 1st cast g17 rings are looking at months of arena to gather the materials required for 2nd cast, while in the meantime others can get it basically at the cost of a Star's Destiny, Fingerbead and some coin?

You can buy Seals of War, you can't buy the Colosseum materials. In my case it's the difference between around 9 months of farming Colosseum (slogging in the 1600+ bracket) and one weekend of NW + around 250mil for SoWs and crafting fee.

EDIT: I'm not asking for compensation. The first solution that comes to mind would be an upgrade path from 1st to 2nd cast that uses Star's Destiny (or SoW and NW tokens).
