I purchased the ethereal armor, and after testing it myself and speaking to the owners of two other sets, it seems the armor is broken. None of us have seen a single flare despite taking numerous hits. I was also told by Ledirth that I could assist to have the settings customized. I've assisted and bugitemed, but there hasn't been a response yet. My position in the queue hasn't moved in 3 days, although I've been on pretty frequently. Could we please have some sense of when we might see an answer to this? Thank you, I know how busy you all are and I appreciate all you do!

These only work against creatures attacking. They have about a 15% to 20% chance to flare. You will see messaging when it goes off though. Are you seeing the ambient messaging at all? Are all the verbs working?

Wow, that was a quick response. Thank you for that.

The ambient flares are working, but I've probably been hit by 30 creatures' physical attacks and never seen a flare. Neither of the other two owners have seen one, either. I know they've been hit as well, but I can't speak as to how much. Feel free to pull me and take some shots if that would help!

Sorry, *ambient messaging, not ambient flares. Working nights is taking its toll!

Okay, we'll look into it. Hopefully won't be too long. You can kill your assist in game, as this is something that can't get resolved in an assist.

Thank you. Sorry to bother again but since Ledirth mentioned I could assist to have the settings customized, should I still cancel it?

You can keep it for the customs. And you're not bothering me (or anyone) at all. We need to get your item working as it was intended!

Looks like a bug was introduced after the item was coded to the attacking system. So we'll be looking into it! Just a little patience while we get things in order.

So for anyone curious or trying to plan their custom colors, after a little testing, it looks like this is the messaging for the flares:

A burst of X light flares up around your blackened scalemail as a series of X and Y ethereal chains encase your body against a plains ogre's attack!

It seems the DS and HCP flares are combined, so there's only one message. This is what the ANALYZE contains regarding colors:

The blackened scalemail has a custom padding color of: X
The blackened scalemail has a custom DS flare color of: Y
The blackened scalemail has a custom color of: Z

It looks like X and Y only apply to that one flare message, and Z is for activated scripts like RUB.
