A week or two I had gotten forsaken. I got It when it went on sale in October. I went through a weeks worth of milestones and remembered multiple characters being a viable strategy so I made two more to try to power level.

So over a year after it was made known of the multiple characters nerf. Got it.

I played the game on release on ps4 to max level on multiple Hunters. Got the base game free on Blizzard net then bought the expansions. I can't be expected to follow every Kotaku article from September a year ago to make decisions in the game. It is unacceptable to be financially penalized for something they did quietly in the background that they don't make known in game.

A simple search before making the decision should/would have quickly lead you to various articles/forums indicating it isn’t going to function like you’d hoped.

Nobody knew on release, Bungie answered a small help thread where people were complaining about item level drops about it 2.5 weeks after the game came out. I cannot be expected to read kotaku articles to use ingame systems without financial penalty. Nothing ever told me to not make multiple hunters or that multiple hunters would negatively effect my game-play. Further, the game didnt have financial penalties for this on release, only in game ones. Which sucks, but isn't actionable. That changed with Forsaken and the level boosts. It is not fair to ask me to pay 60 dollars to fix a mistake that was made because the game didn't tell me it would penalize me for making a specific combination of characters in its character creator. One of two things needs to be fixed, the game needs to say it penalizes you somewhere or I need my boosts back because i'm not a mind reader.

You do realize that this wouldn’t affect anyone for at least 1.5-2 weeks after release, right? So that’s why it didn’t come up until then. Regardless of your excuse now, the info has been readily available for over a year. Per Bungie’s policy, you won’t be reimbursed or get your used boost back.

It's not an excuse, I shouldn't have to read an article, or scour a help forum, or decipher morse code to use in-game systems without incurring a 60 dollar and an in-game leveling penalty. If readily available is anywhere outside the game, specifically the character creation screen in this case, its not readily available.

They are not going to give you boosts back nor are they going to put a notice in game for something that has been known over a year and posted a while ago. This is where you need to chalk it up as a lesson learned.

60 dollars for something I couldn't have known without going elsewhere does not make a lesson learned, it makes bad business practices.

[quote]60 dollars for something I couldn't have known without going elsewhere does not make a lesson learned, it makes bad business practices.[/quote] You said you "played the game on release on ps4 to max level on multiple Hunters" so if that is true, then you should have known then that is how it worked. There were quite a few online articles about it. Also, I am pretty sure they mentioned during the beta that this was going to be how it is.

Yup played on release for less than a month to max light, then didn't touch the game till forsaken and the deal in October. It was not mentioned during beta the earliest mention by any Bungie representative was on September 19th. I played on PS4 which has no chat room, and largely had few if any talking players because it was an opt in mic system so things like this didn't spread unless you were looking. Again, 60 dollars for "common knowledge" that never appears in the game and relies on you to search for it is a little bit much.

[quote]Yup played on release for less than a month to max light, then didn't touch the game till forsaken and the deal in October.[/quote] And not once during that time did you notice something? [quote]It was not mentioned during beta the earliest mention by any Bungie representative was on September 19th. I played on PS4 which has no chat room[/quote] It really doesn't matter when it was mentioned. If you took multiple Hunters to max level, you would have seen it, unless you weren't paying attention. [quote]Again, 60 dollars for "common knowledge" that never appears in the game and relies on you to search for it is a little bit much.[/quote] Not everything is shown or told in the game. Look, the point is, you wanted to take a shortcut to higher level so you purchased extra boosts without doing research. If you had paid attention when you played on the PS4, you would have seen how it all worked. I never understand why people use the boosts, let alone buy more. It does not take long to level up the old fashioned way. I mean, people still buy games to play the games, right?
