Back in the office after Dragoncon now so thought I'd post a quick report on the status of the updates.
Today's update will resolve a number of the issues that came up off the back of the 16.3 update last week. Here is a list of the changes that will be made today:
Of course the other remaining issue is the disabled quest / mission rewards and the team are still working hard on fixing them all. We hope we will be able to resolve all of these cases very soon (hopefully in 16.3.3) but these changes have to be done manually for each effected instance, so its a time consuming task.Originally Posted by 16.3.2 Update
In these cases the reward was set incorrectly when it was first created in the past, and when we improved the code that handled rewards, these old settings caused the issues we saw last week.
Since we couldnt feasibly disable the problematic ones one by one manually quickly enough, we disabled the rewards last week as an interim measure. So once the problem cases are resolved the rewards will be switched back on for missions and quests.
Yes, we know it wasnt the prettiest of 'fixes', but under the circumstances we felt it was the right thing to do so the team had the time to actually resolve the issues properly and thoroughly to prevent future exploits and the team are working flat out to resolve the problem cases as fast as they can so that we can restore the normal rewards as soon as we can.
