cloaks are still dropping

I'm not doubting that. But why take down the shard for 45 mins and not fix the most obvious problem

Maybe the fix was they still drop on the ground but when you pick them up they turn into explosion potions with the countdown timer on?

That would be cool.

Aren't the cloaks of corruption supposed to be dropping, the revert I thought was to fix some people getting 2 for 1 on their life/death/power cloak turn ins. Or have I completely missed something?

The bug was one dropped in your bag, and one dropped on the ground -- 2 for 1, unless the stealthers that were hidden by the Seers got it first.

I haven't tested it myself since the Emergency Publish. I am a little hesitant to take "cloaks are still dropping heh" from an unknown poster as gospel.
A more detailed post I'd be more quick to believe. I need to farm some more threads to test myself.

I think it was a reference to how the extra ones were appearing...

I got confused by the term drop. I thought it was off the shadowlord kills. I turned in a cloak earlier to get a life cloak for my spellweaver [more for rp value]. The doors to the abbey opened but I didn't see anyone so I am assuming maybe the one that dropped to the ground was taken before I could see anything. *shrugs* I got what I wanted.

I dunno...even before the emergency take down of the shards I had not seen any drop to the ground...it "seemed" like it might have dropped on the ground, but there was no one there (gm tracking....) so...I dunno

coding is hard
it really shouldn't be hard for professional programmers who have been doing this in the same game for years.... there is a team of them not just 1 person which makes it even easier, its amazing some of the bugs they deploy when new things come out and how long it takes to make changes.... things like ghost cams at champ spawns should have been fixed roughly 5+ years ago and look how long it takes

Did you check for animals too? One guy that took mine showed up on tracking as a llama.

Turned in my life threads and received one cloak in return - nothing dropped to the ground. Happy days!

Yes I did, I am aware of the forms not tracking as "human", I have been at this tracking thing for a really long time now. :p Thank you for trying to help tho =D just saying I don't think it is "always" or...something is going on, dunno what. :)
