glyphs

hi there ..after 155 my shield melting value is 4.7 million lvl 48...befor was 5.8 million.........now 1.1 million less....WHY?..please give me back my glyphs

 

Same here Blood and others have mentioned it in other threads. Seems to be a routine problem on some items.

 

I think they added level 44 items to the game and when they added that level to the game it seems like items that where upgraded past 44 lost melts. I am not sure if this is the real reason just seems to me to be the case. I lost some on my DK but since the shield was level 43 when I upgraded it the loss is very little.

 

Greg said that this was intended...Seems more like a bug to me. Why would we have to lose glyphs and why is the next upgrade cheaper than normal? Why not keep it the same so we don't lose glyphs? I dont get it. It use to take 300k to lvl up a piece of lvl 45 gear, now its 2.6mil for lvl 50!? How does that even work?

 

The 10M lost on the bow was @trakilaki but I too experienced it to a lesser degree. I lost 800K from my shield.

I can explain the technical details why it happened, and I have no issue with why it happened (In fact, I support it), but I do take issue with BP stealing from the players. Trakilaki's bow is awesome, but I bet that he would have had to have thought long and hard about melting vs keeping it if he knew that BP was going to steal almost half of the glyphs he put into it.

Now for the "Why." It is because BP (partially) fixed the upgrade cost bug. These items that are all bugged are the god like items that have nothing but relative enchantments (% Damage, % Crit Damage, % Block, % Block amount, % Attack speed). They all cost more to upgrade than normal items with at least one line of "+ *Insert fixed stat here*" but they were worth keeping anyway because they were that good. With R155, their inherent glyph value was corrected to what it should have been if it were never bugged to begin with, but no consideration was given to the glyphs lost in this transition. The bug is not that the items are now worth less; the bug is that the developers lacked the foresight to implement a script to compensate the players for the glyphs that they spent time/money to get. 10M Glyphs is worth 1M Andermant, and if you put a dollar amount to that, it comes out to just shy of $1100. Now I know that Trakilaki didn't buy his, he is an insane farmer, but his work can be quantified with a dollar amount meaning that BP basically stole $1100 worth of time and effort from him and many others like him. If they do not compensate us (no matter how small the amount lost was), then they are stealing from their players... and that is not a business model that holds onto players for long.
