In the new blog it says -
Artifact Weapons will also retain approximately 75% of their refinement progress.
So is this 75% only during a 2x RP event or is the value of retained RP when you use artifact gear as RP changing in module 6? , if the 75% is only during 2x RP event then the blog should make that clear .ATM it is still a ridiculous payback and nowhere near to 75% ( or it wasn't last time I checked , if it is now 75% then ignore this post xD)

If they're going by Level, the yes. Refining your Legendary in to the Green puts you at level 48, with is 75% to 60. But when you consider refinement progress that's only 1,858,772 points, or 40% of your actual refinement progress.
Unless there's some sort of glorious change you haven't announced, and putting one artifact weapon into another is going to give us 3,483,900 points instead.
The difference between the two is 1,625,128 points, which is enormous.
But it also graphically illustrates that it is a net gain on all stats.
The wording isn't ideal, that is for sure
Right, because it's not accurate.
That's like saying it's shorter to drive from San Diego to Portland (1100 miles) because it's only one state away versus driving from Boston to New York, which takes you through 4 states (but is only 250 miles).
Level 48 IS NOT 75% progress towards Level 60. That's flat out wrong. Each level doesn't carry the same weight.
The news post needs to be updated, or that line needs to be removed because it's incorrect.

So where are those fireballs, huh? (asks Master of Flame)
Master of Flame Renegade guide: Burn with me!
They like to tease us.
lol i was thinking the same thing. You can neither:
a. Shoot Fireballs
b. Use a walking stick (staff)
unless they are about to unleash the mother of all surprises
However, I'm not getting too excited that it's actually happening the way we hope/want it to mean.
If you think 75% is fair, then just be patient and wait until a 2x RP weekend and get 80% of your initial investment. Seems that is more than fair.
Because Cryptic guarantees 2x RP weekends to exist and always announces them in time, right?
Just because you don't know when it is coming, doesn't mean it won't come. How many 2x RP weekends have we had so far? 4? 5? It's a bit silly at this point not to plan for them.
75% is mentioned in the text. Contradictions:
1. 4,645,200 * 0.75 = 3,483,900 (lvl56) <> lvl48
2. lvl60*.75 = lvl45 <> lvl48
Therefore the statement "will also retain approximately 75% of their refinement progress" is clearly wrong. It is 40% of the refinement progress. Refinement progress is measured in refinement points, nothing else.
Depends on how you define "refinement progress". If you define it as number of levels then what they say is correct. If you define it in total RP points as we all would, then the 40% is accurate.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Suggest you completely ignore it until it hits live, then we'll know the real numbers. Until then, don't add any RP to anything you think you will not be using in future....
While I agree that we won't really know the real numbers until it hits live, they did say approximately 75%.

I'm afraid your math is wrong. RP value is doubled if you refine an artifact weapon with an artifact weapon, so
lvl 35 epic --> ~ lvl 26.5, which is ~76%
lvl 15 rare --> ~ lvl 10.8, which is ~72%
