I bought all my merc packs during closed beta and choose neither option full refund of all items and aurum is the one I choose as an early supporter of CCP and dust I should reap the benefit's of doing so.

I bought 4 of them during the beta just an fyi

Ughhh... no, they would take the SP from everyone who bought the merc pack back in CR first, and then either give you the SP back or give the booster.

And my math isn't off, the current cap is 190.400 unboosted. A booster raises it to 285.6.
1,142,400 is what you can get in a month, or 4 weeks with a booster. Not sure where the hell you got 1,632,000 from

1,632,000? Oh, so now you want an entire months, aside from you math being wrong here, worth of SP without having to work for it too? SMH

Oh and since everyone is being literal minded in regards to the wording of MP, Look CCP can take things literally too


So while a SP reset can't/wont happen, an SP cut is completely fair game. Since you guys want to take everything so literally when you feel it's convenient for you.

Weekly cap is 190.4 (thousand, obviously)
Using a booster raises it by 50% or 1.5
That's 285.6
Multiply both by 4, since that's how many weeks are in 30-days or a month

The unboosted SP cap for a month is 761.6
With the booster it becomes 1142.4

So I then just subtracted the SP they would have gotten without the booster from the one that they'd get with booster, the difference is 380.8.

So with my system they would still keep the SP they worked for, just not any they received from the 30-day boosters. Also bare in mind that I'm not even touching any SP earned after the cap.

Yes, that is what people are trying to take advantage of, since "refund at commercial release" obviously translates to 2 boosters for the price of 1

"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." are the words that in fantasy land mean you get two but only pay for one.

Edit: Maken, the Merc Packs for sale at Gamestop still say it.

so anyone who wants to actually get what they paid for gets rewarded for supporting CCP with having their character reset? I'll delete the game and do everything in my power to let people know that CCP is shady and blackmails paying customers out of their purchases by holding game progress ransom for the cost of the purchases you made with real life money.

Luckily, Om pretty sure CCP wouldn't stoop so low.

B/c people may be seeing the threat of a lawsuit as the "catastrophic event" they alluded to being the only reason for a reset.

read the terms again, you are simply wrong.



its simple language and says nothing about a "refund" or getting your character reset at launch.

no, I didn't understand what you meant, because I don't understand why you think people who bought the merc pack should have their characters reset in order to receive the items we bought. It's a ridiculous argument with seemingly no logical reasoning behind it. There's no reason to change the purchase agreement post facto. At commercial release CCP fulfills the Merc Pack purchases, the end.

I don't understand why it needs to be complicated or why players who bought it should be punished for seemingly arbitrary reasons.

I said SP cut, something you had already agreed to in Maken's thread.

I don't have any problem giving back boosted SP if I get my booster back. I just don't see why it's necessary. Seems like a complicated way of fixing a simple problem,

You get 95,200 sp each week extra with a booster so 95,200*4=380,800 then 95,200/7=13600 a day so 13,600*2=27,200 so 380,800+27,200= 408,000 per each 30-day booster which I had 4*408,000= 1,632,000 of so your idea is to take that sp away and then give it back or a 30 day booster. Which doesn't make any sense in essence you want to punish those who bought pack's

Like I said in the other thread you didn't buy a merc pack in the first place so your opinion doesn't matter as it doesn't concern you. I like how the guy who didn't buy one has an offer for the one's who did like your CCP

I don't have any reason to edit that. It's clearly written and I stand by it.

If they can figure up the exact SP I gained using the booster, they can take it and give me the booster back. However, that's a hypothetical situation, and although I would be willing to accept it, I just don't see WHY this would be necessary. Since, in all likelihood, CCP will simply honor the original terms of the Merc Pack and five everyone that bought a Merc Pack the Merc Pack items they promised us at commercial release, what we are left with in this thread is a conversation about the principle.

I asked Sony about this and the unofficial word from some random customer service rep (after she "researched" it for me) was that if CCP releases the game they will have to refund AUR since that what was explicitly stated.

Actually, it says "credited in full" which means the replacement of that which was removed or a payment from a second party to the first party on behalf of a third party before payment is received by the second party from the third party. A "credit" is not the creation of anything but merely a way to move a certain value from place to place. You can not be credited that which you currently posses. Don't know if I mention that or not.
