Recently a player has uncovered a 1* spiral scale helm. Did the Kataclysmic Konfrontation return equipment for sho'? Post pictures so people can see! Don't be shy!
Equipment Drops Have Returned...?
@Prominis-Alt Sometimes, the GMs discreetly do something in their updates (i.e: dramatically lower radiant drop rates without telling the community).
Still either way, if they had added that, it's likely that more than one person would've noticed by now.
I was going through some steam screenshots and found this:

It's spanish but you can see the knight got a Skelly Mask.
I think I just need to roam the forums and stuff more ;_;
Like here. Well, this is the image.
I get the feeling my other posts were horribly wrong now. My apologies?
Today 3/05/2014 I've done more than 100 runs of the mission 'Alone in the dark' to find a Book of rituals but I ended up finding a gun in a box.

Hopefully the (very slim) chance of getting a Darkfang Shield also returned.
@Arilys OOO's definition of slim: 0.00000000000000000000000000000001% chance.
I'm fairly sure that they weren't, because if they were, then the gm's probably would've said that in the update notes, as well as several dozen or more people talking about the feature returning. So no, it's probably very doubtful that it did come back.
What the player may have thought they found (due to not purchasing or crafting), they may have gotten that from a mission (2-2 The Phantom Mask), and simply not noticed (or ignored) the mission rewards, then later was surprised upon finding it in their inventory.
