Invalid Items Deleted (Updated with Incident Report)

Never mind all that Vaal Orb nonsense. When the devs say 'you can create corrupted items', THIS is what I expect to see :P

Depends on who you ask. Many people, including myself, bought invalid items before they announced that they were wiping them. This is definitely a catastrophe in my book. They should not have put the servers up before putting up 1. a recurring server message saying to not trade the invalid items and 2. putting an announcement below the log-in screen to not trade the invalid items.


You should have used common sense.

Anyone with a brain can see these items are legitimately broken and unintended, and considering there hasn't been a patch nor any notes released about new skill gems.


Bottom line: It's your fault for spending currency on these items. You should have thought about it before simply being overcome with whatever it was that made you want to buy them.

Quite the unfair stance. Especially considering how one gem in particular does not look invalid at all.

What about people who were leveling new characters and instead of picking legitimate skill gems ended up picking invalid gems? What happens if those people happened to start playing just now? Should they be punished as well?

Correcting a mistake on the server by removing items that should never have existed is not the same as 'punishing' someone.

Your misfortune is a result of your own actions, not a dispensation of punishment by GGG.

They seem to have removed the (truly) corrupted item links from the thread already. I don't mean to insult people (including GGG staff) who lost some time/effort because of this, but have to say that I was lucky to see this in time, because some of that stuff was really hilarious. : P

Did no one take a screenshot of the Kiwi shield equipped? Or perhaps it wasn't visible on the character once equipped.
Atziri OP, she even managed to corrupt the game servers... sort of ironic incident with the whole SotV expansion theme as a whole really...
