wow you mean to tell me that I may be negative because of someone else mistake. I already spent a lot of that money before a friend said check the forums they said they are taking the money back. How was I to know that you guys made a mistake, not mad that you did I just think you guys should take this one on the cheek and learn from mistakes. I really don't see how you would justify making countless people go negative in ISK due to something they had no control over please reconsider this option. Thanks for you time.

Thanks CCP now i will be -100mil ISK ,donated it to my corp.If ccp are going to take this ISK back they can take it from my corp wallet.Im sure they have the records to see i donated that money and take the appropriate action.

logically you really should have noticed that something went wrong. there is no such thing as a free meal.

then how did the cavemen survive huh

then how did the cavemen survive huh

or you could donate 100m to your corp and earn back the isk you spent on your own. is much easier for them to make an individual go negative than attempt to track what isk went where.

if being negative is going to be a problem for you katius, you might want to ask your corp directors/ceo to return the isk, im sure they have records of the transaction

Why not just talk to your directors/ceo and get them to reimburse you?

Joe Random is an average guy, average job, average house, average wife and family. One day he finds that his bank balance shows seven digits from one deposit he did not ask for and cannot trace. Joe Random spends the money, then gets grumpy when the bank takes it back, putting his account into negative. Joe Random is not bright.

Bobby Business in the same situation decides to alert the bank of the mistake, but goes about paying his bills, making note to stay within his normal budgetary limits. Bobby Business is smart.

Don't be a Joe Random.

yeah since there is no player driven market yet
an apology and just letting us go with the isk would be great..
having mistakes like this happening still prove this game is in "perpetual beta" still..

You knew with full knowledge that the sudden ISK boost was illegitimate and yet you took advantage of it while looking the other way. You reap what you sow.

And technically you didnt lose anything, you still got equipment/gear you paid for with your own money. The money you spent on corp still goes to your corp, if you want you can ask for it back.



By doing Geico commercials.

People who go in the negative over this should have their characters deleted for being greedy bastards

Its only fair that we have to give the isk back. but thats just my op onion.

I posted this in the other thread as well, but wanted to post here as well, just in case it matters.

Starting to think I wished I'd found this thread BEFORE I spent my SP and ISK this morning.

However, I did ask for a Respec and I got that Respec and had just over 67 Mil ISK afterwards. Although, I still had all my suits and equipment on those suits. In fact, the fitting screen just showed that I was lacking the skills to wear the suit.

Yeah give it back fine. But reset everyone's wallet back to pre-downtime values.

Give back the ISK but end up in negative wallet balance because of a Developer mishap? You're turning a bad situation into a nightmare.

How would anyone know it was illegitimate? CCP does a respec over night you log on and find an extra 100 million ISK in your wallet.

"Ok cool, I must've been reimbursed for something they took out."

Is the the first thought that crosses everyone's mind who doesn't follow this forum.

Not, CCP does a respec over night you log on and find an extra 100 million ISK in your wallet.

" OH SH!T CCP F#CKED UP, I SHOULD AVOID SPENDING ANY ISK BECAUSE MY WALLET MIGHT GET RESET TO 200 MILLION IN THE RED ZONE!!"

I have 0 ISK and 0 AUR. CCP, you owe me $100 bc I just bought your elite pack.

Wow, I just did too. If I have no ISK and no AUR I'm going to be pissed off.

I have a feeling somebody in Iceland is having a bad day.

Doesnt take a forumer to know you didnt spend double/triple your current funds on skill books. And the skill reimbursement thread specifically said that only SP and the cost of skill books would be returned and not the purchased items.




Sounds like something a person who took advantage of this error would say.

logically you really should have noticed that something went wrong. there is no such thing as a free meal.

why should i jump through hoops to try to make it easier for CCP to fix THEIR mistake.i thought that ISK was for a ASSETS wipe or they had changed the denomination of the ISK like they have done with the AURUM before.it wasnt untill i checked my assets and wallet i reliased something was wrong by then it was too late the money was already donated.



i could but why should i it is CCP's mistake not mine

Really.. Really, that is your position on this... . Please tell me your joking.

I'm really dumbfounded by that way of thinking, I don't even know what to say..
Thanks for the laugh? And good luck with that mate

Lol

We are aware of issues regarding user skills and ISK as of downtime today the 28th of May. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible. On behalf of the DUST 514 team please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please note that users and corporations affected by skill or ISK issues should refrain from spending extra ISK or SP as such gains/losses are subject to reversal and may in extreme cases lead to a negative balance based on player actions.

Update: 15:50 UTC - We have implemented a live fix for this issue, and advise all users connected at 15:45 UTC to restart their DUST game clients to help prevent further issues.

Hell no CCP, You can take your isk back if you have to but at the cost of having all of those who DID spend their cash or donate already be negatively impacted is a huge no go!

If you can't figure out a way to prevent that negative wallet balance or properly revert everyone's wallets back to pre-downtime values, then you need to call it a loss and let everyone keep that ISK. I doubt an extra 100 million ISK is a gamebreaker...

Regardless of weither you think it was illogical or immoral to take advantage of the extra ISK, punishing the player base for a developer's mistakes is not the solution.

Have you counted skill points in use in addition to unused skill points? Our server info for your character appears to reflect you do indeed have all of the skill points you have claimed to own.

Uh?? It is CCP's mistake, Are you denying that?

The same thing happened to me yesterday. I had 5.6 million skill points but logged in with only 5.3 million. Curiously this is about the same net skill point loss as you. Anyways I rebooted Dust and it fixed everything.

Welcome to Merc Pack refund 2.0

logically you really should have noticed that something went wrong. there is no such thing as a free meal.

Where did I say that it wasn't CCP's mistake?

More just admiring the, "you did it. You fix it" attitude.

well, the sudden appearance of 100m isk that you didnt earn, and subsequently spent isnt really punishment, you simply wont be able to buy anything else until you can get back to a positive balance.

i have had experience with negative wallet balance before, it can be frustrating, but not the end of the world, especially in a case such as this where you admitted to having spent it.

if you were to have logged in and your wallet was to be negative due to their error, you would rage at them and demand a reimbursement to get back to positive... yet expect to be able to spend the excessive unearned isk as if it were your own.

earn the isk you have spent to get back positive seems fair to me. but i also had 153m before the *feature* was released, and dont see how i could have spent the additional 160m ontop of that to end up negative anyways

Your **** up, Not our, how about you employee people who can do the job correctly, stop penalizing players for your short fall.

Have you counted skill points in use in addition to unused skill points? Our server info for your character appears to reflect you do indeed have all of the skill points you have claimed to own.

this sounds dangerously like logic to me.............
Mods, i think we need to investigate this one, we cant have anything approaching logic (and fairness) on the forum!

I finally understand why respecs can't be put in the hands of players.

Oh shut up, you'll get to keep whatever you purchased, or did you think they would just hand out ISK?
It's your own fault if you spent more than you originally had.

You are correct. After looking to see how much level 5 corporation skill is, the math works out. Why is it that you can't respec the corporation skills to the amount of member that are in the corporation? I requested in the respec ticket for this, but was only replied that this was not done. When the ability to create a corporation was first made, I didn't know then how it worked and kept buying corporation skill trying to get it too work.

Didn't spend anything ISK or SP. . So your one of those people who think well I didn't get that so I must not have it, good for you, but there are people who have no idea what SP or ISK they might have and spent it like most lottery winners, it is not their fault they are instantly rich and the only form of communication is a internet forum.

Notice the question marks? I was sincerely asking...

We did get in game message warning us about more changes, that should have been enough for most people to not rush in and blow all their ISK right away. If people are to lazy to check the forum, which they had to do to get a respec in the first place, then that's there problem.

And I don't see how this is a punishment.

While we try not to meddle with corp skills in order to ensure your corp remains intact. If your issue was not resolved during the skill respec please file a support ticket and we'll see what we can do to help you out:

I'm the guy that logged in 1 minute after that message appeared. Now what?

Also, in case you missed it. People who did not even ask for a respec got the ISK Boost. So what then?

I put a ticket in under incomplete skill respec and just received the same reply as from when i put my skill respec ticket in.

first come first served?

why should i jump through hoops to try to make it easier for CCP to fix THEIR mistake.i thought that ISK was for a ASSETS wipe or they had changed the denomination of the ISK like they have done with the AURUM before.it wasnt untill i checked my assets and wallet i reliased something was wrong by then it was too late the money was already donated.



i could but why should i it is CCP's mistake not mine

Because CCP jumped through hoops to give you whiners a respec, Jesus people you were the ones who irresponsibly blew your SP just so you could get one piece of proto gear. If you guys would've just paid attention, read the posts explaining upcoming changes and actually put some foresight into your original respec, this wouldn't be a problem at all. But instead in true gamer fashion you guys ***** and moan. Makes me sick to my stomach seeing so much ungratefulness. Thank you for creating a game that I can enjoy for so long to come! Keep up the hard work!

oh so when did i ask for a respec or refund.oh thats right ten minutes ago,as asked by ccp so that they could sort out their mistake not mine.

oh this is hilarious... I am going to need to set up 30d training queues in EVE just to be sure they dont run out when CCP makes a mess of the odyssey deployment like they made a mess of this...

If you didn't ask for an original respec then obviously I'm not talking to you :)

I can see that you filed a ticket on the 14th, and that you are logged in one of our future batch numbers. While our system was to assign priority based on date your request appears to have been merged with a different batch during batch cutoff. My apologies for this misunderstanding but you will indeed receive a skill respec in a future sp batch.

i didnt even request a respec and 54 mill just showed up in my wallet none of my stuff is missing and my skills are all there
i filed a help ticket to get it remove but it looks like this is a server wide issue

and you complaining because?

Pffft, fanboydom at it's worst. CCP isn't jumping through hoops for anyone but themselves (which is fine). They're out to make a buck and don't need your rescuing.

logically you really should have noticed that something went wrong. there is no such thing as a free meal.

I asked for a skill respec and i only got my isk not my skill points. How come i didn't get my skill points back >.>

Got my respec spent the skills got shorted over a million skill points and now can't run any suits I ran yesterday so had to buy all new gear and now your going to try to puts us into the negative what the fruit? Did eve launch with this many problems?

LOOOOOL what the fruit. i am laughing so hard right now lol. But i really hope i get my sp back cus i requested for a respec :| Anyway, how did others got their respec and i didn't?

As detailed previously, skill respecs requests will be released in batches based on first come first served. However if you received a response from us confirming receipt of your request you will receive a skill respec in the coming days.

If you have not received a response confirming receipt with 72 hours of filing a petition then please let us know.

Those players who have registered for a skill respec should now have received their skill points along with ISK refunds for skill books that have been removed.

Mixed messages much? In one post you say they everyone who registered for a respec should have it by now, then you say that some will receive it in the coming days.

I registered for a respec but have not received it yet, I also received an extra 80 million isK (approx). The client restart had no effect. Still have all my old skills, still have too much ISK. Should I be submitting a ticked or should I be waiting for a later batch of respecs?

basically its like this, ccp messed up and gave us isk that we were not supposed to get, so they want to fix that and take it away from us which is in there every right to do but to be honest its messed up to take it back.


This is to CCP.

its not like you messed up and gave us an abundence of Aur(which costs real money) you gave us a ton of isk which is generated in game and does not cost anyone anything at all. by letting us keep the extra isk will not cost your company a single cent at all, all it will do is keep your player base extremely happy and maybe generate more players that will spend real money on AUR.

people remember that anything to do with isk cost everyone absolutly nothing. it costs a player nothing and it costs CCP nothing to let us keep it. but it will cost ccp money on the time that it takes their devs to fix this whole problem, because it is taking time aways from the important stuff the devs need to be working on like the lag issues in pc battles as well as the stupid spots you get stuck on terrane and the stupid range and damage on the tac ars.

CCP let us keep this isk and spend the time fixing the things that are making the game bad, you have a great game if all the bugs could be worked out of it.

this somes up my feeling everyone should like this post

@players - stop complaining, stuff happens, and if you went and spent isk you knew wasn't earned then shame on you for taking a handout.

@CCP - apologies for all these ppl who complaining about going negitive, its like they have never had a real life and never used a bank account. Thinking they can spend unearned isk.... keep the game strong and awesome!

Oh and at players, before you start attacking me.. I also received just about double what I had in isk. But I didn't spend cause I thought about where the money may have come from (to include skill changes/refunds and marketplace refunds). After nothing had changed I thought ok a mistake has been made and to keep the dust economy alive in these early stages CCP would probably take the isk back...

"I love being a merc, I get paid to kill stuff" -unknown

I just don't understand. When we (corp) logged on and noticed that we had excess funds we
went through our assets, skills, the marketplace etc. to see what had changed. We couldn't
find anything and figured there's an issue. So we just let the isk sit. It took us two or three
minutes to go through everything. How hard is that? Now people are complaining because
they tried living beyond their means with money they didn't have? I just don't understand.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there an economist on staff at CCP? And isn't there a plan
to intigrate the Eve and Dust economies? How would that excess isk impact that move?
Especially since that move doesn't happen without them having an accurate picture of how
the Dust economy works. A little bit of forward thinking goes a long way. If we want the two
economies merged as soon as possible we shouldn't have a problem with CCP taking the isk back.
My 0.02 isk.

@SuperKing
Never played Eve but I've been eyeballing it for a few years. That's why I'm here now.
A little bit of inflation going on up top?
Still, I just don't understand, yeah it's a game and it's not real money but it still feels like theft
to me. But that might just be the roleplayer in me talking. Or the stubborn individualist in me...
I'm not sure. Either way, my guys weren't effected because it was suspect
to begin with to us... To say we didn't have a little discussion how to keep it would be a lie, but
it was all just messing around and having a good time... It IS just a game on our end after all...

Uh?? It is CCP's mistake, Are you denying that?

Here is a person who can't understand right from wrong and wants everything given to him instead of working for it.

Your **** up, Not our, how about you employee people who can do the job correctly, stop penalizing players for your short fall.

GTFOH, logic and common sense have no place on these forums!

That's like saying "Oh I found briefcase full of money, I didn't know it was stolen so I spent it, now I have to pay for it?"

I understand many people wil be exited to have the random Isk boost, but should know its not normal and may be an error/ glitch and check around before spending all of it.

Exploiting bugs and glitches like these rarely ends up well.
Instead of being greedy and spending it all right away, you could have simply waited a couple of hours to see or ask around if it was something that was intended to happen, or if there would be repercussions for spending it.


@CCP:
Just to be sure, I can spend Isk normally as long as I don't spend more than what I used to have, correct?

The thing with your analogy is that if I found a briefcase full of money I know for sure that the money is not mine, but what really happened is CCP give you a briefcase full of money that you put in the bank to paid your bills, then CCP is like crap I just made all my calculations wrong so they hack into your bank account and subtract all the money they give you and then the bank say "well now you owe us 100000 ISK" how is that even fair?

*snip snip snip*

I own my own corp and asked for a skill respec, because I will lose the corp skill... will I lose my corp?

Ummm, I am having a problem with DUST as well as many of these others. My character here has not gotten the skill respec yet. However, I did obtain an extra 210 million isk for some reason. I had 150 mil, then over the night, it shot up to 360 mil. I don't know how this happened, and I doubt it was the skill books, so what's going on?

I still haven't recieved my skill respec, and I have a staggering balance of ISK. I replied to the respec ticket explaining all of this as well, but please... Fix this.

i just want my sp respec. I don't understand why they couldn't give the respec to all the people that requested it. I mean, they did it in the uprising.

Any word on when the next batch of respecs is going to happen? I wanna buy some things with aur, but wanna wait till i get my respec.

Dear CCP,

I ( Shadow Camo) am relatively new to Dust. I am writing to see if i can still get a skill respec, due to not knowing how the skills really worked for my character until my friend BLACKDEMONBMW showed me. Again after I realized what i was really putting s.p. down for, I just wanna kinda slap myself in the face... But at the same time if you are un-able to do this for me, I will totally understand, but at the same time I wish I took initiative to log into the Dust Website sooner, and find the respec forum before you had the update on it during server downtime. All in all I would Highly appreciate it if you could give me a skill respec. Thanks again for taking a look at my response to this forum.

-One of your happiest and loyal fans

wrong form account

could always send a message apologizing for your mistake and close that ticket and open a new one in the correct category.

i am not for certain how they want you to handle it, but this is how i would attempt to make things right.

So, downtime has come and gone on this fine Wednesday, and I still have 100m extra ISK - has anyone had theirs removed yet? For the record, I'd like to keep the risk/reward aspect of Dust alive, and will gladly pay back the ISK that is currently mocking me in my own home...

ive created a 'tears thread' about this issue in general chat, some people hadnt realized that they were dying inside due to the influx of isk...

@lich
i filed my respec petition under skills 2 weeks ago, and it timed out and was closed automatically. i filed the followup for no respec also in skills. i have been using the followup to complain about the isk issues, but should probably create a second, seperate petition at this point for the isk.

GM Grave said you should have received a response on your petition within 72 hours... if it has been more than 3 days, you may have mis-filed.

Title should have been Skill Respec or ... i forget the title for the account reset... the details were here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=77103&find=unread

the petition get closed automatically? or is it still open? if its open, send a reply, see if itll bump you up in the queue... if it got closed waiting for a response, id say file again

wow you mean to tell me that I may be negative because of someone else mistake. I already spent a lot of that money before a friend said check the forums they said they are taking the money back. How was I to know that you guys made a mistake, not mad that you did I just think you guys should take this one on the cheek and learn from mistakes.

No, once you form a corp, you do not need the skills to keep it running.

logically you really should have noticed that something went wrong. there is no such thing as a free meal.

this is so awesome. I got my respec, but now I'm afraid to buy any skill books/gear for fear of CCP screwing me into debt. thanks CCP. one more reason to seriously love your company.

Question, you mention penalizing corporations that launder this bug ISK but how do you plan to track and prove it?
I ask since I imagine many of the larger corps whose characters have multiple alts have likely already started to pass that ISK around

they wont. they will simply take the isk away from the players. rather than track where the isk went, it is easier to just reverse engineer the bug itself by refrencing everyones wallet journal entries. the last entry before downtime had 1 value, the first entry after downtime had the second value, and the difference is how much isk they shouldnt have.

or thats how it SHOULD have worked... until the hotfix yesterday made me go from 161m extra to 156m extra...

the corporation would still have plenty of spare change, but the individuals who laundered the isk would be red until they either recovered the isk they donated to corp, or farmed out the isk in battle.

By abuse I mean taking these bugged funds from alts people no longer use IE clones sitting collecting passive XP, burned spy clones, etc and funneling them into the mains corporations significantly boosting their wallets with no down side

my unused alts have under 4m isk each... if they received any fraudulent funds, it doesnt amount to much, 8m/account x 20 people might start making an impact, but if you have 100+ players in a corp, and any decent number of them are into proto gear, chances are the income from 8m/player isnt going to be terribly huge.

but at the same time, tracking all of these transactions would be nearly impossible, not to mention distinguishing between personal isk and fraudulent isk after the transactions start... rather than putting a specific number on a single isk and trying to follow it through its lifes experience, it is simply easier to revert any and all characters proceedurally for the erroneous amount of isk before and after downtime. some of it will get through yes, but a lions share of the isk will be pulled out of circulation one way or another. if someone scraps an alt or two who got their isk into circulation saves them a few hundred manhours trying to perform forensic accounting to focus on more pressing issues, so be it. 160m from my example earlier for 20x players, or single players, such as myself, having 160m each... its not perfect, but it is quick and simple.

as mentioned, id rather CCP does a quick and dirty fix here, and focus on something more pressing than attempting to track THOUSANDS of players financial records of what isk went where.

I have multiple friends who received over 100 million ISK in the reimbursement back in Uprising. Explain how that looked any different than the sudden addition of 140 million ISK yesterday.

Just got my confirmation email. Awaiting my Respec in the coming days.

Compared to the eve market most people will not have over a few hunderd mil isk. Can't hurt that much?

There will be some minor problems, I'm sure, but I doubt it would be as bad as it could be if it were EVE.

This leaves me very worried. I have two characters, Zor-Magna (set to be deleted because I don't like her anymore) and this one (my main). When I noticed the extra isk I figured it was a gift from CCP and donated all of Zor-Magna's isk to my corp. about 30 something million (haven't touched any of it on my main).

So, I really want to help in any way I can but I don't know how and I don't want to be penalized for not knowing how. Will CCP just subtract the isk from the corp or do I have to do something to fix this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't want my main to drop to negative.

if the character is deleted, they MIGHT subtract the isk from the corp wallet... i cant say for certain what they will do about it. i would advise sending your corp a mail to leave whatever the sum of isk in the corp wallet until it gets properly resolved. if it persists, consider it a gift, or file a petition as a bug report stating that you have erroneous isk left over from a deleted character.

i personally am for its removal, but i lack the capability and or authority to do anything about it. it would be nice if they manage to get it all removed, but to catch it all, especially in cases like yours, would be extremely difficult to accomplish...

the goal of getting MOST of it out of circulation is good enough of a solution, so long as not EVERYONE has another month+ worth of proto suit/vehicle funding to continue ruining the meaning of death in this game...

Thanks. I told my corp and we're going to wait until after the 31st to see what happens. If the isk is still there than I will send CCP an email saying we still have the money. T.T hope everything works out.

That's like saying "Oh I found briefcase full of money, I didn't know it was stolen so I spent it, now I have to pay for it?"

if someone dumps 5,000 in your bank account, and you spend the money, its not really your fault. you dnt know where it came from. its the banks issue they made a mistake. what benefit do you as the customer get for calling it in?

if its a named check, or someones wallet you find on the ground, or in an office, etc then ok there are measures you can take to return it however, if by someone elses error you encounter money in your personal bank account it is yours. they should have "carried the 1"
