[quote]Ok so I went up to xur, with my Sunbreakers and my exotic shard, and he had my sunbreakers in one of his "upgrade exotic weapon" slots for the week all highlighted for me, so I thought "Oh good, I can upgrade my sunbreakers, thats great".
Except when I selected it, instead of upgrading my sunbreakers... they are just the same sunbreakers as before. Except now, they have zero experience, so I have lost a week's worth of XP gains, as well as 7 strange coins and an exotic shard and 7000 glimmer....
Umm, what?[/quote]
sa me thing happened to me and i and Damn mad! im trying to get à customer service. this is really big crap!

Here here, poor form Bungie! Please post a warning or disable. Just wasted hours of playing time
-
Guys If the exotic you had only goes up to 300 and not 331 then you upgrade it not if it's 331
-
the same thing happened to me :(... i think if is the same exotic, the option to make the upgrade shouldn't be available... i just did that because i thought "if the option is available, then will have improvements"
-
The same thing happened to me. I got Invective from the "A Dubious Task" Missive, and have spent the last couple weeks upgrading it. I stopped by Xur today, and saw it as an upgradable weapon. So, I bought my shard and spent the 7000 glimmer to finish the upgrades, and... POOF! Invective is now back to 0 XP, and I'm out 7000 Glimmer, 7 Strange Coins, and about 100,000 accumulated experience. I wouldn't have such a problem with it if the game made ANY mention of what the upgrade process entails. I see previous posts that state its only if you have a maxed item and want to boost it to Dark Below level, but there is nothing in the shop that explains this.
-
Apart from all the stats of the item you have and the "upgraded" one are exactly the same?
-
I wrote to bungie. I hope they respond soon. IL KEEP you guys updated
-
There is something that explains this: the attack/light levels listed on the new item.
-
That's great, but the values were the same for me since I got it after The Dark Below launched. And there is no mention that it will remove all unlocked upgrades currently on the weapon. OR any mention that the upgrade process is just for pre-DLC gear.
-
.. Looking at the 'upgraded' item doesn't tip you off to that?
-
Why would I think anything different of the same upgrade tree? Same stats? I'm betting that most players who lost out on this didn't even view the details because if the weapon is the same, why would you? There is no real reason to unless you knew ahead of time from looking in the forums. This is not a "buyer beware" situation, it's a video game, and the only reason there isn't a better/more helpful UI is because the people who made the game didn't feel it was important enough to actually explain the options the game has to offer within the game itself. It is either oversight, laziness, or apathy towards the player base, and none of those are acceptable reasons when releasing a triple-A title.
-
Why wouldn't you think of the exact same stats? Seriously, they didn't include a warning because [i]-shocker-[/i] they thought people would actually look and compare instead of just blindly clicking.
-
Your cynicism aside, I do agree that players should look into their items. However, when I got my first exotic item, there was a pop up that told me I could only equip one piece at a time. So how hard would it have been to do the same for the upgrade menu? Or, even better, code a check into the upgrade system that works by not letting you buy the upgrade if you already have the most current version of the weapon? It seems the devs have intentionally left this way to waste time and resources open.
-
No, some people like re-rolling their stats if they find the upgraded version has higher values. There's a notification for trying to equip another exotic because you can't equip more than one.
-
Interesting. I thought exotic item upgrade stats were locked. You learn something new every day.
-
seriously Bungie needs to refund all of it! i dont even feel LIKE playing for a while just because of That!! it Was the knuklebuster i tried to upgrade.
-
