Enhancements

Reduced the procs per minute on the Store version of Performance Shifter: Chance for +End from 3 to 1.5 to be consistent with the Invention Origin version


Ummm, does this mean I can get all my points back that I spent on the in-store one since I spent, well "real" money on it because it had a better proc chance? Are you going to change all store bought procs because then I also want my points back on my other purchases as well.

DA badges fixed? About time..sick of having to solo those missions to get the badges. Also sick on the support GMs telling me that it was all WAI, in regard to having to drop teams for the badges. Does this include ones for buddy cop and incarnate rival?

Way to read what he said Code. He got the PS IO, noticed teh description THEN got more. Given that the decimation proc isnt changed..it is a fair assumption to NOT wonder about this one (without seeing forum thread).
In that situation..I think it IS unfair not to offer some kind of payback. Of course..it is hard to actually prove a person bought a stack without hearing about Syn's post..

I understand perfectly well what he's saying. Just because you look at the enhancement after buying it and see that it's 3PPM, you shouldn't assume that it's anything other than a typo.

My point is the only valid argument for a refund would be if it were actually advertised as such before the sale. But it's not, it's just advertised as "Performance Shifter: Chance for +End". So the reasonable assumption is that it's supposed to function like the existing enhancements called that.

It's like ordering a 3MB connection from your ISP, then testing it and finding out that the cap isn't working and you can actually download at 30MB speeds. When they fix it and limit you to what you're paying for, do you demand a refund for you and all the friends you told to order the same plan?

(I went with that instead of my original analogy of finding cash in a wallet, then buying 100 more and getting mad when they don't all have the extra cash. I changed it because we're not talking about actual physical property here, so the same rules don't apply).

Caveat Emptor. The game is not about pay to win, you pay for convenience, not power.

Imagine people wanting refunds for powersets when some detail is changed. It's just not going to happen.

You're still getting what you paid for. You paid for a Performance Shifter: Chance for +END. When you saw the PPM was 3, you came to one of two conclusions.

1) Paragon is dumb lololol TIME TO BUY UP.
2) This is an oversight.

In the end, even with the IO being, and it deserved to be, 'nerfed' (truthfully fixed), you STILL got what you originally paid for.

" Performance Shifter: Chance for +END".

If anything, I'd be wary of the friends you told to buy them up since they were three times the power of the original version and not coming to the obvious conclusion it was an oversight, which Synapse confirmed ASAP when it became known.

And blame the beta testers not speaking up about it ;P

At the end of the day; refunds would be nice, but in the end, you SPECIFICALLY paid for what you got. If you paid for the 3 PPM, which you had NO idea of knowing that before getting the enhancement in your tray, that means you either bought one, say it, and went "WOAH THAT'S INSANELY BROKEN", and then I immediately respond with "You should have known better., OR you heard from a friend, and I say "You should have known better", OR you saw it on the forum, which I say "You saw Synapse's warning."

Oh well. You got what you paid for.
