Ok, this is it. Lost 9 specialisation points!

This morning my skills were "invalid" and my spec trees were reset and the "purchase" button greyed out. So I had to respec (for free mind) but I've lost a ton of points in the process. I had completed my pilot spec tree and had about 8-9 points in Intel. The game has only given me the 10 points from leveling from 50 - 60 but wiped my progress after that point. I mean, WTF cryptic? Get your TRIBBLE in gear and stop being so god damn incompetent.

I then tried to file a ticket, but it got wiped because there was an ! in the description as they think its "profanity". I mean... seriously?

This will probably get moved to the bug section, but I deliberatlely posted here because this is a major **** up on Cryptics part which will not do much to make the player base feel encouraged. I've lost hours and hours of work doing queues etc (I didn't partake in the TD stuff, would if I had known more about it).

Just can't get my head around Cryptics ability to do nothing but stir rage at the moment. Already recruited a friend of mine to EVE instead, and we're having a lot more fun in null sec blowing stuff up that playing by this games stupid paywalled, time gated content.

Get your house in order Cryptic! Been here since season two released and spent hundreds of pounds (more fool me, and that's not an attempt to say I should be entitled to anything more than a stable, working game).

    I'm sorry for you. I don't know if you were one of them but they announced that people who were exploiting Tau Dewa patrols would be punished. Some people have lost up to 60 specialization points (!!) It seems everybody who had more than 15-20 specialization points got their skils rolled back.

    Would like to clarify, I never took part in the Japori stuff. I did Carraya ONCE because one of the team wanted to get some Rommie marks. I farmed Argala with some fleet mates to go up a few levels so that we could do the missions without the deliberate interruptions because of not being a high enough level. I've not been exploiting, I've just been doing the grind as per usual in this game and now feel very little desire to do it all again.

    No it just seems like there's no redundant spec point tracker working behind the scenes to record all those additional points you pick up after 60. So if you hit the apocalyptic skill reset bug (it affects everything) that >60 progress can't be accounted for. Points were just ticking into the available pile and the devs responsible [hopefully] didn't forsee the need for a failsafe in case the player stats system exploded.

    One consolation though: of all the malfunctions that could result in hours of lost work at least this one only wiped hours of play in a video game. Its a very small consolation, but it does grant a little perspective.

    Nope, I still have over 50. At least one level 51 guy though got rolled back.
