I think Fehzor and the rest should be paying up

Regardless of whether or not OOO stealth patched it back in, Feon did in fact post proof. Nowhere in the initial post was there a caveat saying *unless OOO stealth patches, then imma renege.

*edit: to put my money where my mouth is, i'll match every crown Fehzor gives over. So far, pot was at 175k. Assuming that's what gets given to Feon, that's what I'll give as well, so long as everyone pays up.

"Nowhere in the initial post was there a caveat saying *unless OOO stealth patches, then imma renege."

From the OP:
"This thread/offer is valid until any changes occur to the drops."

The point of this is that drops were patched out of the game for a while, perhaps on purpose or perhaps not. If OOO updates the game and puts item drops back in then yes, there will be item drops. This fact is insignificant.

If it turns out that I was wrong, and that the drop rate is very low (lower than the next to nothing it once was) then I'll mail Feon the crowns. The static edge dropping has proved very much significant to this issue, but if time passes and no one else finds anything, Feon gets paid. She has that going for herself. Until then, I'll edit item drops out of the OP and continue onwards. Everyone else, barring the people that sent me crowns, is free to do whatever they will with their money.

I heard lots of people found mewkats and love puppies since the kat event started.
Maybe this thing screwed up all their drop/spawn rates.

I thought the goal was to find a Turret Kit or Ultra Poison Barrier, not a gear drop.

@ Rockhardandready Actually

@ Rockhardandready Actually it was mentioned and some of us (like myself) stipulated the change (update or fix) as a clause negating the payment.

@ Everyone

Don't carry on about this , either pay up or forget about it, i have been following this thread since the beginning and have seen the progression of it. I am the person who told feon to post her proof as soon as she told me about her recent drop. I was under the impression that Proof was what you were looking for and whether or not they recently patched it to include these drops, she provided what you had asked for. I do not see any official post stating that ooo made such a patch so as far as i am concerned they did not . For the people that have already paid her= if you feel cheated out of you money please mail me the amount you have paid and i will confirm it with her and refund your money. For the people who post there word and then attempt to snake out of it by stating some kind of clause that is irrelevant to the circumstances since there has been no such post in the last 3 patch notes. I say only this, In real life you word is everything without it you will never gain the respect,courtesy or consideration of others. i will give it a few days for people to respond to either me or her to pay her and then i will give her the balance myself. IMO she has provided the proof that drops are possible now and i don't really care how it happened. @Fezhor could you please graveyard this thread in a few days.

@the cheap buggers who are backing out

I'll pay your debt, because you should honor it. The fact is, nowhere in the notes did the devs/GMs say they altered the notes. THIS IS WHY PLAYER RUN DRAWS/CROWNS POOLS ARE A BAD IDEA.

I have 0 respect for the people who backed out. 0. I thought better of some of you.

It's actually very likely that it was stealth-patched; note how the only reports came after the recent patches.

Regardless, it's still reasonable to give out your rewards, since we just got evidence that the drops exist again!

wow. I'll give Feon something for this as soon as I can get back on (lol Steam is down) because how nitpicky. We have no way of knowing if the change was intentional or not. At the very least, are you going to give the crowns back to the people who donated to the pool if you're not going to pay up?

@ Obamaphone & Perronius I'm not sure what you guys are going on about, Feon is free to mail us for the crowns but she hasn't yet because she said she was waiting for Fezhor to figure it out.

She is very cool and collected about the situation while you guys just had a thing

I agree with Fehzor here. Fehzor did state that the thread is valid until there is a change for the gear drops. Perhaps it could be a coincendence that everyone got gear from boxes in the clockworks. Though Draycos has a point. Feon was the first to prove that gear drops do still drop in the clockworks. So technically, it's reasonable enough to give Feon the prize.

@Feon Send me a friend request in-game so I can ensure that I would send the crowns to the correct person.

I was under the impression that the prize money was going to the person that found an Ultra Poison Barrier or Turret Kit, and not just a gear drop, which they apparently patched. But then again I feel like people are just finding these gear drops more because of all the recent speed running and grinding through Alone in The Dark/Weight of Darkness, etc.

In general, I don't really care what is done with the 10k I gave. I usually would care, but as of late I have more pressing things to worry about. . . such as Finals ;-;

That's because the OP has recently been edited to only include the Turrets/Poison Barriers.

As it should, because the gear part of the event is basically over.

@ fehzor

Again you amaze me with your foolish behavior, not only did you not assist the person claiming your post prize but then you attempt to throw her under the bus claiming there is evidence to show a patch was made. Evidently you did not read my post carefully. You need to back up your erroneous claims of a patch being made or graveyard this post so you do not continue to show how low you can stoop. Rockhardandready has paid the 175k to feon for you because he can see the hypocrisy of your claims. Please cease and desist because the nice person and great player feon did not want any of this attention and this was one of her first forum experiences and it has not been very pleasant for her. Thank you Rockhardandready you are are person of integrity.

I keep saying this- it's undeniable that the recent patches fixed the rates. The odds that absolutely nobody on the forums would find a gear drop for nearly a year, then suddenly to get some drops now are astronomical. Surely someone would've saved a screenshot, you know?

The important thing is we have confirmation they're fixed.

@ Vtmoon

I understand that Feon was being chill about it. Good on them. I don't feel the need to be chill about it, because frankly, I don't feel like, for 10k cr a person, this needs to be "investigated". Feon obviously didn't get Hyperion to spawn a drop for them, and nothing in the patch notes states that it was fixed. We can nitpick semantics all day long to save our 10k, or people can pay up.

I don't know Feon, and I don't know how much of an effect 175kcr will have on them in the game. It seems like Feon either didn't expect to collect, or perhaps just doesn't feel the need to make a stink about it. Regardless, they were the first to post the screenshot, they answered the question that people put up 10k cr apiece for (and that some are now clinging to), they fulfilled the burden of proof. On the other end, while we can gather enough circumstantial evidence to safely say it was patched back in, I see nothing concrete. As such, I hold the agreement fulfilled. I know that some of the people sent their crowns to Fehzor, some want to send to Feon, some may have forgotten, I don't know. I sent the full amount. It's over, it's done, and I hope that it gets honored on this end, too. If not, at least Feon got the promised reward. If so, hey, bonus.

I'm done here, did what I came to do, which is make sure Feon didn't get [bucketed] out of their crowns.

I've spoken my case, and feel confident in my decision. I'm sorry that several of you disagree with this decision, but this really isn't up for debate. Feon did not find a unique drop during the period where there were supposedly no unique drops. This period seems to have ended around the time that black kats made their return, as was proven by the numerous other unique drops found by others within the following days-- two in this thread, and one mailed to me within three days as opposed to zero drops over several months. That said, all outside parties (meaning not myself or the people who directly sent me crowns) are free to send Feon whatever sum of money they feel necessary, as are they always.

Thank you for your patience and participation regarding this thread, I really appreciate it.

So after checking through all

So after checking through all of the posts, I'm now pretty confident that rare item drops are back. Despite what the terms of the post may say, I'm more than happy to given Feon my crowns. After all, they were the first person to give us a heads up about it and for that I am grateful. It's quite possible that this thread helped to influence the decision to bring them back.

Everyone who posted a drop or is going to contribute crowns for people finding said drops, you have my thanks.

EDIT: My 10k has been paid and Feon was very grateful. I'm happy to give crowns to anyone that can also post a picture of either and Auto Turret Kit or an Ultra Poison Barrier.

So I get the point you're

So I get the point you're trying to make with this thread and that these items currently do not drop... once again, I'm asking: are you going to return the crowns that others have donated to the prize pool once a poison barrier/turret kit drops due to a future patch? Clearly they're not dropping as they should, which was your entire point for having this contest, and I have a feeling that if it's fixed, it's going to end up as a repeat of this. :s

Don't hold your breath, folks

If Ultra Poison barriers or Auto turrets all of a sudden start dropping, it will be because OOO patched them back in. That is the point of this thread. Fehzor isn't trying to give out cash, Fehzor is trying to prove a point to OOO. I was cranky last night, and I must have missed that in my lack of sleep.

We could jack this crown pool up over 1 mil, and it wouldn't matter; the second ultra poison barriers drop, everyone will start posting pictures. They aren't in game.

@Addy

Yes, I will mail everyone who sent me crowns their crowns back whenever this ends, or if they mail me/post here asking for them back. Under no circumstance (outside of the one where I somehow find a turret kit/barrier fairly or are told to keep them? Even then I'd probably send them back lol) will I simply keep the crowns that were sent to me. I made a list of crowns sent to me in the OP, so that I can send them back whenever the time comes. If this thread falls off of general and becomes forgotten for a while, I will send all of the crowns back and edit the OP silently to avoid confusion.

I don't want to have to deal with other people's money, but if they really really don't want to check the thread or whatnot and are willing to blindly agree to decisions like this one that I make in the future, then they can mail me crowns and I will deal with it in the manner that I said.

I sent everyone back their crowns. This is still on and active etc. for the pickups, but I am no longer managing other people's money at all. Any crowns sent to me in the future will be considered gifts to my account, so don't do it unless you just want to make me rich for some reason. That said, if you sent me crowns before I urge you to check up on whatever account you sent them to me with, because I just replied + sent all of them.

The OP has been updated to reflect upon this.

I snapped this picture proving the existence out in the woods yesterday night.

http://i.imgur.com/UtrmDim.png

It was around 1 and a half feet tall, and had the appearance of a green shield with a star on it. I knew something was up when the bushes started shaking heavily and I heard it clawing at the ground. Shock, freeze and fire barriers NEVER make noises like that, and it certainly wasn't no vial or boosting orb.

@lll-fate-lll

As I said in my last post-

In retrospect, I shouldn't have made this thread. It just made people angry at me when they read it incorrectly.

From the OP-

The turret kit must be of the consumable type that was "added" into the game, and not the kind you find out in the wild and pay CE to use. That's different.

The point of this thread was to provide evidence that there are no T3 poison barriers or turret kits in the game. I wanted to do this because one of the game masters confirmed that these things were in the game and dropping calling us unlucky, yet no one has been able to find one and mail me/post here for an easy 100K crowns.

It's similar to the shard bombs- players found an issue and reported it, and the developers didn't even read it or consider looking into it or anything. Just- "Yeah whatever I think the shards and barriers are working... skip." When I see things like this, I kind of wonder if the developers even care about their game any longer.
