This bug never occurred for me during 1.8.2. First day of new patch and I got it. Incompetence at Ubisoft must be a mandatory requisite when they hire their developers.
This bug has been in the game for over a year, they will most probably never fix it. They barely got a few people to nerf Striker, they are busy counting all the cash from the D2 preorders. Make sure you buy that extra stash pack. And make sure you preorder the game for more similr features.
