The reason why it's not in this thread is because this thread is about 1.17, whereas that fix has been implemented in 1.13 or before.

perhaps a general reminder and link to the earlier update notes could be added to the front to cut down on non issue posts and to help new patch users who may be discovering the patch for the first time.

I don't personally see a problem leaving them in as far as how it could affect the game, but it's just not what the bugfix patch does. Like Yerk said, it'd be something for the balance patch. I know that seems like a lame thing to say, since there have been 8 bugfix patches in the last 2 years, and zero balance patches, but the balance patch is hopefully moving in the right direction now.

@ Munderbunny: Does revenant greaves still don't drop... i'm pretty sure i read somewhere in the 1.17 update that they do drop now. and ive been seeing screens of them in other threads lately... most of which are single affixed, so i'm pretty sure they are legit.

Munderbunny has left the forums a few days ago. :/

revenant greaves can drop with 1.17, the change list is a little confusing because it switches between two different points of view on the patches. On some patches it is listed what works after the patch and on other patches it is listed what haven't worked before the patch (which is the case on 1.17).
