Deleting Merits...

I was deleting stacks of random salvage today, and got click happy... I deleted merits.

Is there any way to get them back? It wasn't a ton of them, but it was more than I really wanted to lose.

There's no guarantee, but sending in a petition is your best bet.

Yeah... just too damned sheepish to do that.

Just hurts to ask like that.

Not the first time it has happened. Oh and they have helped out people before for other stuff like this. Let me tell you a little secret... The Devs actually care about us. Shocking isn't it a MMO where the devs actually give a bleep. Don't hurt to ask. Good luck.

In the future, click the "Salvage" tab before deleting stuff

Reward Merits can be deleted? What about Vangard Merit or Incarnate Shards? Heck, what about Invention and Costume Discounts?

As near as I can tell, all forms of "salvage" (including Merits and shards) are deletable. The basic salvage was deletable when they were created (base and invention), and all forms following them use the same ideals (as far as I know. I've never actually deleted anything I didn't mean to, knock on wood).

Oh I know, one of my very good friends used to be on the team. And the Dev and GM teams have done great things for the game and its player base. This is far more of an embarrassment issue than any fear that they wouldn't help.

Alignment merits too? Heh, I guess one can throw away the rewards of a heroic reputation; we've seen it often enough. Just admit to taking steroids, have an affair while your spouse is dying of cancer, be caught making racist remarks, stab two people and get acquitted...there are plenty of ways. Or just click too fast.

Are shards visible in a window where they can be deleted? They don't appear in the Salvage windows and my recollection of the Incarnate window was that it shows you a count of them but nothing you could right click and delete, but maybe I just haven't tried it yet.

Dunno if they're deletable (it is a right click option, but I'm not going to try it. :P ), but you can view them in the salvage window under the "incarnate" tab and the "all" tab.

Wish they would re-order those tabs. There's no reason the invention salvage tab (that is probably the most frequently used type of salvage, and contains the stuff you'd actually want to delete separated from what you don't) should have to be arrowed over to while tabs that are no longer in regular use (base and component) get placed right next to "all" (arrowing over based on minimum window width).

Yes, they show up under the Incarnate salvage tab (and the All tab too of course).

As to deleting them, if you can delete reward merits, I'd guess they are probably deletable too.

Honestly, I didn't even know you could delete reward merits.

You can delete Incarnate salvage. Someone I know deleted a stack of shards. Support got them back for him via petition.

Edit: And yes, I never intentionally delete anything from the "All" tab. I always go to the Salvage one.

I spoke too soon about the Salvage window and shards then. I thought I looked but probably didn't notice it. That's good to know, I don't like the Incarnate window interface for trying to figure out what I have in inventory.

Alphabet is the reason for that. B / C / E / I / Sa / Sp

I'd love to be able to organize the tabs in whatever order I prefer. Or at least merge Base and Component to the same tab, and Special and Event to a shared tab as well.

Wow, never knew you could delete that stuff. Good to know.

Finally, something in this thread I can get behind. Yes, please, Incarnate salvage on the CH. I could totally be a marketing god.

Also, I'd like to see a cross-reference of all the people deleting loot in this game, with all the people complaining about not having enough inf. to afford anything on the CH. I wonder how much overlap there is.
