Misleading description of Astral Deva active effect

Description of newly introdused Astral Deva is probably intentionally mesleading.
With previous companions when "active companion effect" was affection companion it was clearly stated as "Affect companion" at the beggining of description with white colour font.
In Astral Deva this was ommited, you could notice it in barely wisible small font at the bottom of description.

I've bought one just because of this and found out that this companion is pretty useless for my high-level character.
I my opinion developers tried to tricked us in buing useless things by changing there description.
I know, it's my fault because of not checking small font text, but I think it's really unfair from the developers to do this :mad:

    What's misleading about it? It basically states that it heals your active companion. I bought it for my DC and see nothing misleading. Maybe I am overlooking something?

    The misleading part is that they put the "only affects summoned companion" notice on a place you never looked for it before. So at first glance people expect it to heal them, not a companion. Nothing illegal or forbidden of course, and you should always read the full contents of an offer before deciding sure. But it's lame just the same.

    I agree with you... ofc its small, bit hidden if you dont pay attention but its there. im not defending PWe... just saying the reality of things :/ ... you know what i mean when i say "greedy PWE"

    But it's lame just the same. Especially when you consider none of the other summoned companion affecting companions have their texts altered.

    Ah. I see why some would be upset then. I do tend to read over many times before investing in anything. It is one thing the military taught me lol. I could also see the altered text <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> with the very few who might also be colour-blind.

    Criptic should put that into consideration.

    . . . On every companion it has always said who it affects under the Active Bonus in the Tool-tip. There's even been threads on past companions with this same type of active bonus that affects only a Summoned Companion (Here's one: I'm confused by Astral Deva's active bonus.).

    . . . There are other companions with Active Bonuses which state the same thing and these have been in the game for quite a while; Companions that only affect a Summoned Companion, as long as the Companion is Active. In fact, I just went through every companion tool-tip in game and each have who their active bonus affects listed in the exact same place still. Nothing has changed.

    Here are just a few examples:

    . . . I'm closing this down because this isn't a dispute for the forums. Who a Companion's Active Bonus affects is listed on Every Companion in the Same place. If there is any remaining issue with this, please contact Support.
