An IO to Respec Out of Before the Next Game Update

[ QUOTE ]
We are currently testing a new version of the game on the Training Room that includes a number of refinements and corrections. One of the corrections is to properly make the Invention Origin Enhancement called: Gaussian's Synchronized Fire-Control: Chance for Build Up a Unique IO. It has always been intended that this IO should be Unique and only be able to be slotted once. However, a bug with the Enhancement has allowed it to be slotted more than once.

The build that is currently in public testing on the Training Room (read the patch notes of that version here) will correct this error. There are very few users who have this IO slotted more than once in their characters. If they wish to retain the IO they will need to respec and remove it before the patch, version 17.20080723.3T, goes live. While the build is still subject to additional testing, we currently anticipate this version will go Live early next week (August 4th or later).

Our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this change and our thanks for our users understanding.

Already posted this in the invention forum, but good to repeat for those who might not read that forum.

Another consiquence of this, anyone who wanted one of these, now might be a good time to buy.

I really should do something about this signature.

Surely, after this their usefulness will go down, so they will drop in value. So now would not be a good time to buy.

Am I missing something there?

yeah surely the people that bought multiple ones will now have spares to sell off.

Ravenswing · 08-01-2008 11:37 AM

Ah, point. There could be a surplus before the change as people sell off 'spares'.

Of course, I'd wait until the patch actually goes live, so I think my point stands.

[/ QUOTE ]but they need to respec before it goes live or there "spare one" will be deleted in powers, but not held i don't think

True... but how long before the patch goes live do you think they'll do it?

Actually, rechecking the timescale, yes, this weekend looks good.

Must admit, I'm a little confused by this. How is the game going to decide which power you want that IO slotted in so it can delete the others?

so next week is the earliest time and i think they just delete one, maybe the 1st one it comes across is safe and then theones aftere are deleted i got no idea, or it could deleted them all and then u need send for a petition to sort it out.

[/ QUOTE ]As you pointed out. If the AI deleted the first one, then you'd have all your chance for buildup IOs deleted, and a whole bunch of not happy people to boot. I would imagine that the highest lvl one would be left untouched, and the remainders deleted. But like you, I am speculating!

P.S. Sorry about amending your previous post (the quote above), but it read badly.
