Wisps aura?

A search turned up nothing since October, so:

Remember the Wisps aura? It was the "incentive" to switch over to the new NCsoft Launcher back before that became the default method of launching the game. Anybody who used it during a certain time period unlocked access to the new aura, including me.

Then, a while later, Wisps disappeared (which is kind of poetic, I suppose). Apparently some problem with the new costume editor or something. We were promised it would be back at some point.

Later on (I think not long after Freedom), I remember reading something here about how it was back. Then something a few days later about how only some of the people who should have it back actually did for some reason, with an assurance that everyone would have it back in the next few weeks or "in an upcoming patch" or whatever. I never got it back.

I asked about it during the Freedom Friday Q&A on Facebook a month or so ago, and was told that someone would "look into it." Today, I asked again, and was told "I thought the issue had been resolved, but perhaps not. I'll look into it!"

The thing is, I don't expect anyone at Paragon to send me a Facebook message personally to follow up on what this looking-into turns up. For that kind of thing, these here forums are the best tool. Therefore, I ask:

  1. Does anybody have their Wisps aura back? Is the situation it still what I'm remembering, with some significant portion of people having access and some also-significant portion not having access? Or am I remembering wrong, and nobody has it back yet at all? (Though at this point "not yet" will be looking more and more like "not ever.")
  2. Does EVERYBODY have their Wisps aura back except me? If that's the case, obviously the problem is a mix-up regarding my account specifically and I'll need to contact customer service.
  3. Any devs reading this, what did "looking into it" reveal?


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

I have my Wisps Aura... It's where you'd expect it, listed in the auras available at character creation.

Hrm... I'd suggest filing a Customer Service Report.

I didn't know that some people didn't get it back when I did.

I have it as well. Got it way back when they said most people should have them back.

I just saw it on the tailor the other week when I was designing a new costume slot for a character.

Have mine as well. Got it when they switched over to the NC launcher.

I was one of those who did not have the aura when they "fixed" it the first time - I went months without it. At some point, it seems to have come back because I have it now.

Check both in Character Creation and Tailors. I seem to recall for some people it was restored to one and not the other.

Checked the 3 accounts that I have and all have access to the Wisp aura. Checked character creator and in-game tailor and wisps show up on all 3.

Well, this seems pretty conclusive; I must have just missed the "second wave" of restorations, both in terms of knowing it happened at all and in terms of actually having it restored. Guess I'll get in touch with customer service.

Thanks, everyone.

I don't have mine, after petitioning about it many times and being told "its being fixed in a patch upcoming" I gave up.

I have a character even with it but no new characters can get it.
