items do not match description

admiralfierce

Items in the dilithium store, event reclaim rewards page, and the various reputation stores do not match the descriptions to the right.
It cost me 22,500 dilithium in the discovery legends store to find out it gave me the wrong item that i was trying to buy. I found out that whatever it says in the description box to the right is what you are actually buying, not what it shows in the left side box.
This is annoying because of the wasted dilithium, or wasted EC buying an unwanted item.

There seems to be a kind of delay error, in that anything you have highlighted gives the information of the previous item you were on(either up or down make no difference) . This is very evident in the Duty Officer store when buying Duty officers either as a reward for completing Duty officer assignment levels or simply from the store itself. The same happens in the Dilithium store too and also on the ship descriptions in the Zen Store.

I get around it by highlighting the item I want then moving either up or down the list once to read the description. When it comes to buying the item make sure you are on the item you want (even though the description is wrong)

You have to now be especially careful before you buy as this error is a major issue if you don't read very carefully the descriptions. I wish they would fix it but it has been about for a few months now, so I guess they don't deem it important

Going down
Item 1
Item 2 Shows item 1 description
Item 3 Shows Item 2 description

Going up
Item 1 Shows item 2 description
Item 2 Shows Item 3 description
Item 3 Shows either Item 2 or Item 4 description depending on what way you moved the highlighter.


It is a l very very annoying. I bought several DoFFs I didn't want because the description said they were a geologist, when the were a trader etc.

It is definitely annoying.. I press Y from now on, just to make sure.

There is a very similar display bug in the Endeavour UI list. Whichever Endeavour you select to view, the previously selected one's reward is displayed.

FYI this happens in the Lobi Store too so make sure of your purchase before you buy, esp on those new items. Press Y first and make sure it is what you think it is, I am guessing the same thing will happen during the summer event so watch your prize purchases.
