end of reverting:Scrap Yard and Tattoo Artist... (in Changelog)

I'm why you can't have nice things...

50 CB.. In what? :D

Care to explain this changeling?

Folks who've recently ink'ed a tat or used the scrap yard will catch on quickly

How about not being cryptic and just explain the thing?

since NS made the change, you get a NS style changelog...

Yet another reason to get frustrated with CB.

When I like to go back and check old changelogs, it is things like this that makes me want to scream.

Anyone who has inside information about this care to explain to us non-admins what this change is about? Us prasents would like to know.

Try to revert an SY change.

Reverting your tattoo is apparently not possible anymore and it just keeps the log at the bottom of the page to taunt you (Or it costs more cbd than I currently have)

Must have just happened as I used a ToA this am and converted back to an IF without problem.

So now it costs money?

it was brought about by this:

http://www.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00328a

and a recent similar, but more costly instance with another user.

after some discussion on the admin forums, it was decided to kill off the ability to revert items. part of the reasoning was that base items are so plentiful and inexpensive that this was the best solution.

Or you know, I could actually read the page.


In short, no more free reverts and no point in even keeping the revert text/box.

reverting was more problematic than useful, base items are plentiful

Sorry Ranger, having fun isn't your thing I get it.

I can easily have fun.

But in 6 months when one tries to find this post, titles like this make it difficult.

When I was away for a year, trying to catchup on changelogs was quite frustrating.

Instead of a simple title as to what was done, one gets useless "fun" titles that have nothing to do with things. Making it harder to catchup with past events.

I always thought easy was best. Guess I was wrong. Complicated and nebulous are best.

i can change the title later to a more descriptive one, as of now it does help describe the magnitude of the more costly occurrence i referred to.

So I take it novice last 50 million NW when he changed his exow to an ELB?

I have changed my old ELB many times without loss of nw.

:| thats expensive..

I think the problem was this.

If you have an item, change it, and don't upgrade it, it reverts just fine.

If you have an item, change it, upgrade it, then change it with a new base, it works just fine.

If you have an item, change it, upgrade it, then revert it back to the original, you lose the upgrade.

bingo, and there were big warning signs to that effect on the page as well... didn't stop me

I switched to an SoD, took the 50M I'd been holding for I don't know how long and upgraded the x on it. I then went away for a long weekend and came back to a hampered fightlist because of the SoD. I reverted without so much as a flicker of a clue what I was about to do.

Small price to pay for what should be a good fix.

Hopefully, like the old thread, you'll be reimbursed the money.

thats a pants way to lose 50 million

I really don't need reimbursement... it was a real mistake on my part and I'm fine with that.

Would've been nice to have a warning.

Agreed

i apologize for the lack of warning but since all cb devs are part-time (probably a better description is hobbyists as part-time implies some form of payment) we pretty much have to take dev time as it comes. ns had time to do this today and would be around a bit to correct any issues that happened to pop up.

Personally would like to see novice reimbursed for this mix up.

With all the changes from years past, this could have happened to anyone of us, albiet on a smaller scale.

As an aside, can we get a more appropriate changelog name so in the future we can easily refer to this.

Ranger read the rest of the posts..nov has been reimbursed now..thanks to IPoop (ie The ArtistHaze)

~WC~

errr well 1/10th anyway

~WC~

Psst. He sent the funds back.

NS, any chance Nov could get his 50M back?

Took it from Mr Chairman. Apparently, the blacksmith is broke.

: )

*sigh* pays to be stupid...

After all the CBD I pay him through forging?

I think there's some fundamental bugs in how CB moves money around.

thanks everyone

YW,

It was the right thing to do.

And here I sent a nice long heart felt chatmail to Jon pleading him to help nov out, and all I had to do was ask NS... oh well. Glad you got your money back nov.

i think the whole of cb is the main winner on this, we get another item sink and hopefully have gotten rid of a papercut for new users that likely would have resulted in frustration at least and loss of players as the worst case scenario.

if anyone is in need of a base item for reverting, please vote in the black market! ; )

Awesome result!

/hugs

Sweet! Glad things have worked out for the better :-)
