Hey guys. I've run into some bad luck in this game. As a few of you know, I managed to get a Repentant Cultist Cage Key to drop a few days ago. Obviously I was extremely happy as it's pretty much a once in a lifetime drop. Excitedly, I put the key in my bank to give it to my GWF, since he is still my main and having that extra dmg will come in handy as heck next mod. Once I got a daily to go into one of the areas to redeem my key, it was on. This was going to be so great. Here's where the dramatic music cuts in and the announcer comes in to say this is where it all goes wrong.
So I go in, finish the area, unlock the cage. Great. I'm sitting there smiling, happy I got this super rare companion. While the companion screen was still up I had a mental cramp and hit the B button closing the screen. No big deal, right? It's just like a chest, right. If you back out, the chest is still "open" and you still have your key, right?
Wrong.
No companion. No key. I'm panicking. I sent PW a ticket, explained what happened, even took a screenshot of me standing there with an open cage. They say there's nothing they can do. I reply, they reply, I get angry, they insist there's nothing they can do. I logged in tonight and played for about 40 minutes. Didn't even want to play. I figured I'd hop on a lower char just for something different. That lasted 5 minutes. I'm so disgusted right now. I know even technically it's my fault, they've replaced items in the past. So.... yea. Kinda lost the will to play right now.

Even if you did hit A, it's a 50/50 shot of getting it.
Friend of mine did the same thing, instead of hitting B, he hit A, just like a chest, but he didn't get it, and he was thinking he hit B, etc etc. But they said the same thing, nothing they could do.
He kept playing until about a week or two ago since he's pretty much at 'cap' for his stuff. After hearing about the expansions coming and next mod for next month, that's what made him stop, but he said he'll be back once it drops so he can make a paladin.
You'll stay around, don't worry!

Keep in mind I have never found a key and so not only don't know what they are for (apparently a companion of some kind) but place very little importance on much other than having fun..
I haven't been able to run with you a lot yet, but I suspect although this companion would be a boon for you, you already fill your role well. I don't know of anything I would place enough value in to stop playing; I can always work to get another and I enjoy the company of guild mates far more than any numerical stat I may or may not have.
If it will make you feel any better, I will be your companion; fairly sure your DPS would improve and I speak, dance, and can even be sent on autonomous tasks to any zone.

Anyone who has played this game for an extended period will be able to relate a moment when they discarded or refined something they didn't intend to. Take solace in knowing that, while rare, the Repentant Cultist isn't that great.

I threw away the astral diamonds attached to the emails from my first sales on the auction house. Hitting buttons too quickly.

I gotta agree i deleted an artifact on my first character that i still need to this day! Lol this game is definately only going to get better and companions are only a small part of it. I definately encourage you to come back and play some more. Many more adventure's ahead!

Thanks, everyone. I was really bummed on the fact that it went down the way it did in the first place, but then it was compounded by the basic responses I was getting from Arc/PW. Now that I've taken the day to simmer down, I realise I can't quit this damn game even if I tried. I'll absolutely take you up on your offer Gaagii. Whenever we're both available it would be my honor to run with you.

It is not worth quitting a game over a mistake, these things happen all the time and in nearly every RPG I play these days. In all honesty if you feel you should quit over a free companion (that I have done every day and never seen a key) then maybe the game is not right for you in the 1st place. Unfortunately stuff like this will happen time and again in this game, I`ve thrown a couple of hundred thousand AD down the plug hole due to small errors and mistakes. Been kicked when something worth 500k AD drops, wasted 50mins running through a dungeon to get kicked at a boss etc etc. So many things can lead to rage quitting but I find if you really want to quit a game then you would delete it from your hard-drive, you have not done this yet so there is time yet for you to stay  I even refined a rank 8 rune accidently as well as a Normal Plaguefire Enhancement etc. |

Yea I've had other bad/dumb stuff happen too but the support team kind of exacerbated the whole thing. I'm over it now. Who knows maybe the next time I run through there I'll get it again! Haha.
