I realise most of you won't care and will even blame me but I need to get this off my chest.

I've had to assign HSP to each mech about forty or fifty odd times already so I clicked on the HSP box, bashed the slider over all the way and clicked OK without checking. Then I assigned some SP to operations and when I looked up I saw that I had almost 200 SP left over. I'm guessing what happened is that I misclicked on the GSP box rather than the HSP one.

Which means that I accidentally assigned all of my 200+ GSP to a single mech.

However I thought that just maybe support will be able to help me out, after all I can't be the only who's ****** up like this can I?

I'm not as it happens but PGI have a policy of no resets or refunds for skill trees.

So now I'm ****** for GSP. I don't have any to assign to old or new mechs to give them a boost and PGI won't cut me any slack.

So **** you PGI for designing a system where you have to manually assign HSP to every mech you own, **** you for not automating it, another **** you for putting the GSP box next to the HSP one, and a final **** right off for having a no mistakes allowed policy.

******* *****.

So no more money from me, preorders cancelled, I'm seriously disheartened with this game now.

Oh and for all those ***** who are going to tell me it's all my fault here's a preemptive **** you too.

That's sucks, sorry to hear that. 200 skill points isn't a lot though cant expect customer service to help everyone with 200 sp, including you.

You accidentally invested 2-3 Mechs' worth of experience points into one mech. And this was your GSP.

So, in the end, all the Mechs you already had mastered still have all their HSP. You only accidentally lost the GSP that was refunded from Modules, and not from leveling your Mechs.

This is kind of like clicking Sell instead of Buy, only you don't lose any Mechs or equipment. Yes, you made a mistake and didn't check to see what you were buying. So you lost some leveling grind... That's it.

You can still put all 91 nodes into all the Mechs you already mastered, and Mechs that you are buying fresh will have to be played and earn XP before you level them. In the end, you just have to do what is normal and expected - play new Mechs to level them.

Not worth quitting the game in my opinion.

I do agree that some sort of automating or flashing redness would help the process. I have over 7000 GSP and have been quite careful with over allocating from that pool. The mechs HSP gets yanked all the way to the right, but GSP is a careful slide.

Condolences.

[C E Dwyer]

The whole thing should have been build so it's impossible to add more than 91 points to any mech.

Don't blame you for being pissed at them.

This is as the title says poorly designed, and up to P.G.I's usual standard of weak

I just started playing MWO after 2 years after a simular thing happened to me. I was just starting off, and I belive I removed a module, and it was a one time use.? From what I remember is was a lot of XP and cBills.

Anyways, yeah I uninstalled, and PGI didn't get any money from me for two years.

It is in their best interest to help people out! What does some get paid to do customer support per hour, like $15 maybe? How long to help this guy, 10 minutes maybe? How much would this guy continue to spend if got help?

Seems like a safe investment in time for PGI.

Seriously, you are throwing a tantrum over 200 GSP? This is a case of you not reading or paying attention, I'm sorry but that is on you.

Oh, you are right. The OP already quit spending money 5 times...

This thread is going to be jettisoned soon enough, likely.

[Karl Streiger]

you can add 231 +/- GSPs for your Mech- exactly as many nodes as there are (ok stupid on some chassis) but this is how things work.
I did the same mistake and now i hope for JJ modules for my Gargle prime.

so its not a mistake nor an error in the gui.

so the error can be found between chair and keyboard.

No offence Cathy but... This is why toasters come with a sticker on it recommending it not be used in the shower.

1,) Can I have your stuff?
2,) Own your mistakes, you pathetic sack of whine.

[Felicitatem Parco]

If I were a customer service rep at Ford and someone sent an email or a posting g saying "F-you Ford and F- your product. Go F-yourself" then I would just sent a canned reply, chalk you up as "not worth being a customer" and then tell stories about you to my office mates as an example of a pain in the arse customer.

Use some tact.

Geez that a lot of complaining for a free to play game.
Just stop playing bud, you seem miserable. No one will miss you, just like no one will miss anyone else...

Also...I think they will lock this...

Also...be more responsible with your actions if you care so much. PEBCAK, the problem exists between the chair and the keyboard...ie. YOU. As we say in the professional world, you can't fix stupid, no matter how diligent your are and now much you try to fail safe something, someone will always come around and find some way to screw something up.

Sorry man, I can see how someone could make that mistake with the way it is set up. I am not 100% clear on why someone would want, at one sitting, to put more than 91 modules into a mech. If they want a different-skilled copy of the variant, they could do that later. Also, some players are confused about all the new kinds of XP, which sound so alike they are hard to explain in voice chat. But nevertheless, the system apparently allows you to way overdump skill points into a mech. They should help you get the points back into your pool. Still, when you cool off you should come back because you can recover from that mistake.

Pretty sure I wasted at least that much GSP just playing around with the Hellbringer I bought...and since I think I want to use it for CW this weekend I am going to rebuild it again and probably waste another few dozen GSP dinking around with it for that.

That being said. I am not playing my IS mechs because I don't want to risk several thousand HSP and subsequent GSP messing with those while PGI makes up its mind on quirks, rebalance and new tech values over the next several months. So while I sort of sympathize with the OP's plight/error. He really needs some context. 200 GSP is just not a big deal.

[The Pug Commander]

i did that to like one time but it was only a few sp. I wouldn't let that deter you from the game. Honestly 200 points is enough to master 2 mechs and a few points left over. All your other mechs still have there points

No.

237, yes, because that's enough to unlock all the nodes. Which is stupid, but I digress.

I wouldn't be opposed to a warning anytime you are adding MORE than 91 points to a mech ( or more than.. say... 20? to something that already has 91)
