I was clearing up old story arc books on my level 45 tank the other day. I did Doc Delilah (no O Portal since I already had that) and then moved on to Stephanie in Striga. I finished all her missions and she thanked me and said I could keep the ring and all that, but I didn't actually get the ring temp power.

I know I did it back in the 20's with a friend but when the missions got off we just went on with hers. I'm pretty sure I didn't get it back then (because it wasn't my mission) but I could be mistaken since it was over a year ago. Is it a once-in-a-lifetime thing and I just forget I ever had it or is it a bug?

Most likely it's a bug from being well over the level cap of the arc.

But, just to double check, you checked in your temporary powers area of the Powers list, and there was no "wedding band" temporary power there?

If it's not, then I would /petition it. Hopefully a GM can help you out. If not, run the arc through Ouroborus, and you should get it if you've never had it before. If you have had it, you'll get a shadow version of it.

I checked the Powers menu, yes.

Oh well, we made it through the last of Gaussian's arc without more deaths so I'm good now. A tiny bit more +Resist on my Dark probably wouldn't have helped anyway. Not sure why I thought the ring was +Defense but that's why I went after it.

I'm not sure I want to bother with a petition but I might try Ouroborus.

This was a common bug for me, regardless of my level. Steph stiffed me constantly. Not only would she not give me the Ring, she would not give me the Warwolf Whistle, either! What a Wi-otch!

So I would petition and get my stuff in fairly short order. Happened on about six heroes. HOWEVER...

Before the Forum Migration (hence I cannot look for it,) I seem to recall an announcement to the effect that the Ring will henceforth NO LONGER be awarded if you have outlevelled Stephanie as a contact at the time the mission is run. This irked me a great deal since I typically juggled Faultline, Striga and Croatoa, and sometimes it made for outlevelled contacts if I had anything else go on. I cannot say if that got put into effect or not. It may have been countermanded. But I remember the announcement.

So I would certainly petition it and see if they will award it to you. As I said, it had gotten to be a common bug for me. Hopefully, they never carried through with the No Ring For You plans.
