MLinni.6109 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 In b4 "I accidentally sold my legendary/ascended backup weapons/armor to a shopkeeper by accident." I "only" salvaged my unidentified stuff by accident. And no, you should NOT be required to read patch notes before doing basic stuff like "salvage all" in this game ;) Would it have hurt that much to keep the functionality of the bandolier intact?

Astralporing.1957 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wait, what? If it's salvageable now, it surely has to be a mistake. Edit: oh, i get it, it's no longer "safe"? From the wording of your post for a moment i thought you have salvaged your bandolier by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLinni.6109 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 The stuff inside it is no longer safe, yes. Hidden below all other patch notes ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwake.7013 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The invisible part of that bag was always a bug, many complained about it as with that function it was very annoying to have with the other function of the containers and consumable fill fist. Anet said right away that the invisible part of the bag was a bug and they were going to fix it. I'm sorry you made a mistake while savaging but it's not Anet's fault for fixing a bug. Maybe talk to support? not sure they can help but doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Add an option to let us mystic forge it and convert it to a type of 32 bag we would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLinni.6109 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 @Jwake, I disagree. How am I supposed to know it's a bug if I don't read forums religiously? It is simply bad design to change functionality like that behind your back. Like I said, you shouldn't be supposed to study patch notes to be able to rely on basic functionality like salvaging working the same as before a patch. I don't care about a few unidentifieds, loss of a few gold perhaps. But this WILL lead to people accidentally selling stuff, I promise. Wouldn't it have been more sensible to keep everything the same and just say: "eh, so it was a bug, but it's not a major gamebreaker I guess so enjoy, people!" instead?

Deathanizer.3716 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 It was game breaking, it made the bag useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Oh that sucks. Was really hoping they would give us the option to make it invisible. Guess it's time to rebuy two invisible bags again. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalendraf.9521 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Bad change. It was better as an invisible bag. If they were going to change it, they should have made it selectable instead. Very glad I saw this before accidentally salvaging/selling a bunch of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sila.6748 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The problem was this: It's a bag that holds consumable and open able (champion) bags. Like noxious pods and bandit bags. When you open 30 champion bags, where does all the loot go? In your bags. Including the 32 slot one. Now, try to right click your copper salvage o matic or your salvage kits and 'salvage all' for masterwork and below. Guess what? 30 items were unable to be salvaged and had to be dragged out of that bag one by one. If materials went into that bag you had to drag them out or deposit them one by one. Now you repeat the process because we all know you can't ever open all your bags in just one go. And now that bag fills up with minor runes and other junk. Go to a vendor and... Guess what? You can't sell them to an npc. It was ridiculous. I own 1 invisible bag which I keep full at the bottom of my inventory at all times, containing things like alternate gear and food, etc. That's all I needed. Glad they fixed it. The bag is usable again and I can run dragonstand and td without hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaraki.5784 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 1) They already said long ago that the invisibility property wasn't intended and they were planning to fix it soon. 2) You should read patch notes before doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLinni.6109 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 1) Who's "they"? Nobody talked to me about it. Do I have to check forums about the intended functionality of items now? Or reddit? Or watch dev streams about expansions? 2) It was on the second post just at the end. Even though I had skimmed the patch notes for balance changes, it was pretty well hidden. Do I have to read patch notes now after every patch to do basic things? It's like you getting a brand new car from ANET which you are very happy about. Then you take it to the garage for routine inspection. Driving home you notice that your brakes no longer work. You drive into a wall. After complaining, the manager tells you: "Oh, we already gave you a car for free. It shouldn't really have included brakes." and a bypasser walks up to you and tells you: "Oh, they put an advance notice of that change into your trunk. You should have read it. Also someone said on the internet that brakes weren't really intended for that line of cars." In my opinion you should NOT have to rely on external sources to be notified of potentially damaging changes. I only lost a few gold, big whoop. But you can be certain there's a few people who sold ascended or legendary items by mistake who will now have to contact support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I feel the Devs offer us patch notes to keep us informed of changes to the game. I mean, what else are patch notes for? If we decide to forego said offered information, I guess that's on us. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netko.9271 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 You want to devs give you personal phone call every time they fix some bug that can affect you? They put it it patch notes, they can't contact each player individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 So if they roll out an episode but you can not complete the first instance they should leave it alone? Bugs are meant to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are official anet communications. Having to rely on reddit is one thing, having to get info from anet is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLinni.6109 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Of course bugs need to be fixed. But since this was not a game breaking one it (or even recognizable as a bug if you hadn't watched dev streams/read reddit which I usually don't to avoid story spoilers) could have been handled better in my opinion. Like this: The bag stays the same, nobody loses anything, and you can hand it to a vendor to swap it for a non-invisible one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Bugs should be fixed. Sometimes people don't like the way things were intended to be. Unfortunately that is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLinni.6109 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Nono, to avoid any misunderstandings: I agree with you there. I just don't like the way this fix was handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamazuki.6073 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The item description did not mention it being an invisible bag. This means even if you're someone who absolutely refuses to read the official patch notes you should have known the item was bugged. Unless of course you also absolutely refuse to read item descriptions/tool tips too... It is your decision to not read forums, or patch notes, you do not need Reddit to know about things; all decisions have consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
