So, I just completed Stephanie Peebles' arc a little while ago -- defeated Heracles, got the mission complete and reward merits, and the message saying I've recovered her ring.  I exit the mish and talk to Stephanie, but the Wedding Ring power was not granted.  I asked in-game if the power still granted at the end of the arc, and at least one person confirmed that they had gotten it recently.

 

This wasn't via a flashback arc.  I was on my Dominator, Jess B. Caws.  Has this glitch happened to anyone else?  How can I get the Wedding Ring power now?

I noticed one time I also failed to get the reward.  I made an assumption that it failed to grant because I was level 25 or 26 when I finished.  So was outside the level range of the arc and that was probably why it didn't give it to me.  Stephanie is level 20-24 per the wiki.    Were you at that level or higher when you finished it?

 

Not that it shouldn't still be considered a bug, I think it should be.  But that was the reason I assumed why I didn't receive it once.  Now I make sure to always complete the entire arc before I hit level 25 and I've never failed to get it.  However, I've never tried to repeat the issue to truly confirm.

I did check my trays and powers list and it's definitely not there.  This ^ however is not something I had considered.  I think the mission level was 23, but I had just turned level 25.  I guess I thought that if I had the final mish, it didn't matter what level I was when I ran it.  I can't remember if it was this way back on live, though if it's like this now, it probably was.

 

I agree that this should be considered a bug, but who knows what it would take to change it.  Thank you for helping me understand what likely happened.

Yeah, I don't know.

Last time I was on a team that ran that mission for the ring, we all XP/level-locked so we didn't out level her as a contact.

We were working XP/level-locking on-and-off throughout the Striga content so we could run all of it.

 

Pain to go through again, but you can't outlevel it if you run it through the Ouroboros.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

Checked Wiki and the Wedding Band can be obtained thru Ouro but if it has been obtained before it is a limited version. 

 

  • This power can only be earned once at full strength; further earnings will be reduced in number of charges or strength. Temporary powers denoted by this icon can also be obtained via Ouroboros flashbacks. If the power has already been obtained once, however, a more limited version (an "echo") of the power is awarded instead.

it's just right for me..."

( Unless it's Raining, or Cold, or Really Dirty

or there are Sappers, Man I hate those Guys...)

Yep. The defense buffs are still worth it, imo.

I may go ahead and run the arc through Ouroboros.  Since I didn't get the Wedding Ring power, I should theoretically be able to get it that way.  Curious to find out if the game will read my having completed the arc as the same as having gotten the power once before, even though it didn't award.

 

Thanks everyone for your responses on this -- I really appreciate it!

I've been curious about this as well.  If you missed the arc and do it through Ouro do you get the 2 hour version the first time you do it, or do they rob you and only give you the 5 minute echo version (I think it's only 5 minutes?) even though technically it is your first time?  

 

Your situation might be even a bit different as you said since you did technically do the arc once before.

So here's a new wrinkle to all of this.  I was on a different toon on Everlasting, Anne O'Nimity, when I noticed that she was toward the end of Stephanie Peebles' arc.  She had the mish "Talk to Long Jack" which I know triggers the final mish to defeat Heracles.  Thing is, my toon was already level 25, same level as Jess B. Caws.  I figured since I'd already outleveled the reward, I would just auto-complete the mish to clear the contact, and then I'd run the arc via Ouroboros.  But here's the thing: after I talked to Long Jack and then auto-completed the Heracles mish, I called it in to Stephanie Peebles . . . and I got the Wedding Band power!  (Wedding Band, not Wedding Ring; I got the term wrong.)  So now I'm wondering if it was the level disparity between the mish and my other toon that caused the power to not award?  I feel like a 2-level difference shouldn't have mattered, but who knows how that spaghetti code is written.

 

I haven't run the Ouroboros arc on Jess yet -- I will do that, if for no other reason than I want to see what happens.

I got the ring this past Friday from the arc, and was also above the level range by a couple of levels. It appears to just be very wonky.

OK, so I went ahead and ran the Stephanie Peebles arc in Ouro.  When I started the arc, I noticed that it's listed under the level 25-29 section, and the text says that "your powers will be limited to level 25."  If 25 is too high to receive the power, it's weird that it would be listed as 25+, but whatever. 

 

I ran through the entire arc, and when I completed it, I got the Echo version of the Wedding Band power.  So it seems like the game thinks I was awarded the normal Wedding Band power even though I was not.  


No idea what caused the power to not award in the first place, but at least now I have my answer on how running the arc via the Ouroboros works. 

 

Wonky is good way of putting it.
