Another update:
The new sovereign items are in as of today and they are missing the figurehead/cutlas... the same way the other item sets will soon be missing them.
BUT AT LEAST we got a fighting chance to buy the sovereign items before they left the store in case we actually wanted them
Right? Right...?
Wrong. Now we will forever have incomplete sets of items in the game, even if, like me, we spent the last week since the announcement working very hard to grind the gold needed to purchase these items...
