If it doesn't come with a skill reset then no, that would be giving away free boosters.

Buy your boosters now everybody, 2 for the price of 1!

And if CCP view commercial release to have already occurred at the time of a previous reset, they need to make some official mention of this fact and train their customer response/GM team in communicating this to players.

Here is the conundrum

*IMPORTANT NOTICE: During beta periods, CCP may need to reset characters, skills and other items included in the DUST 514-« GameStop Mercenary Pack. DUST 514-« GameStop Mercenary Pack will be credited in full to your in-game DUST 514-« account after each character reset and for the commercial release.

Pulled that from gamestop.com regarding their sale of the Merc pack from today. If the terms clearly state i am to get a refund of my AURUM to my character account during each reset and for the commercial release. Those who say we are in commercial release would argue that our AURUM was refunded to us during the wipe prior to open beta and that open beta was commercial release and should have gotten a AURUM refund back to character for COMMERCIAL RELEASE.

The conundrum, CCP has clearly laid the line that there will be no more SP resets. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=619126#post619126

However for everyone maintaining this is still a Beta and not Commercial release the sticky reality is then CCP needs to refund us our AURUM and to do that without SP reset (as they maintain they WILL NOT DO) means lots more SP boosters bought and a wider SP gap.

So either 1/22/13 was commercial release(beta-work in progress is a tagline) and CCP has fullfilled their obligations of the commericial release language was met(though debatable still) or it is not commercial release and CCP finds themselves in a curious pickle..


/thread.

Yes but the SP reimbursement language refers more to getting back SP back for things like dropsuits or other skill sets where they introduce new content into similar to what they do EVE side.

Even then still the issue becomes it creates a scenario where every individual that has since closed beta to date and more so all merc pack purchases made up to the date of "comercial release" would get aurum refunded and will have reaped the benefits of AURUM bought boosters twice if there isnt a requisite SP wipe to balance it.


While this would be an awesome "beta tester reward" (which if the marketing dept is smart will spin this as and save face) it creates it still comes at some sort of cost to the player base because they are getting double their moneys worth out of a single paid item.

This thread...

Fine, I support the position of the guys who want refunded the AUR and merc pack items on commercial release. They should also get all their salvage and SP reset.

The rest of us will keep our characters as-is.

Salvage has everything to do with AUR in that AUR has everything to do with a character reset.
