11 years agoMultiplayer unique staff "Deathward" got downgraded from item level 18 to 14...
Well, this afternoon i was playing, bought a big chest and dropped an unique staff called Deathward with an amazing effect, 1% healing per hit, my staff was already great its a unique item level 19 and have 136 dps, deathward had 98 or around and with my last Superb Spirit it got to ~130, my ilvl 19 staff have something like 20 magic bonus so ive thinked a lot about spending my last superb spirit rune on it but the healing was so amazing that i couldnt resist, used it, tried it, was amazing, of course isnt a ilvl 22 but who cares?
But for my surprise, i logged out, came back like 5 hours later, and then picked my necro to test it on him (just used with the arcane warrior ealier) and tah-dah the deathward now have 117 dps??? I couldnt believe my eyes, opened the item info and more surprises, the item level droped to 14 and the constitution and willpower bonus droped as well, so i've lost an amazing item AND my last unique spirit rune??? Why? Is this some bad joke?
Because Multiplayer is basically "item grind", then we spend a lot of hours doing the same 3 dungeons to get gold, spend real money to get platinum, to buy your random chests that usually just drop **bleep**, to get some nice **bleep** and see it got nerfed FEW HOURS LATER? Keep in mind EA ppl, that this is the kind of **bleep** that makes you lose players. You guys need to revert that nerf, really, it cant be like that. Its hard to fix Reaver buff bug, Arcane Warrior barrier bug, and several more, but it just takes and instant to nerf our nice tools.... ? Good job EA.

Yup, the PSN account you mentioned is linked to your posting account. I just wanted to confirm that this was the right account, rather than assume so.
Thanks for the details. This sounds like a bug rather than anything deliberate, and the other report I've seen on this was also a Deathward staff, suggesting that the issue is with the item itself.
