Buyer Beware..

[Col_NASTY]

Was just in the Armory buying Signals..  Something I have done 1000 times.

Go in , select credits and buy away right?

I just do it on autopilot.

Then I noticed I was spend COAL!!

Everytime I went Back to choose the next signal to stock up, it turned back to Coal or credits.

I didn't notice till the second time I did it.

Never happened before.

Just a FYI

Thanks for sharing a Public Service Announcement about it.
I hope it is just a minor glitch that will be corrected.

Reminds me of the old days when the default settings for almost everything were "auto purchase" and "doubloons". More than a few of us were caught off guard when our doubloons started to leak away just to pay for signals or consumables.

This is why I ALWAYS use the filter and check the Credits box. I have yet to accidentally spend coal on signals.

That's why I always use RB points. Well......only if I'm out use credits

I just checked the Armory, and it seems normal to me right now.

• Two options with 1 Coal box (left) and 1 Credit box (right) for the same signal so I picked the credit one as I always do and hit purchase

• It brought up the purchase screen where you can apply a coupon if desired (purchase resource was still credits) and hit purchase

• The purchase confirmation screen came up and was still credits

Hopefully this was just a glitch for OP. I appreciate the PSA as I do buy flags quite often and always use credits. It worked normal for me when I checked (actually bought 2 sets of flags) so it seems normal right now.

As do I. What happened here was AFTER I used the Filter it kept resetting each time I went to the next signal.

Sometimes I have to wonder if WG could get any scummier.

My opinion is they 😒 can.

This buyer was 'bewared' some years ago now (around when they ruined CVs by removing the RTS CVs) so I no longer buy anything from War Failing 😁.

Can you recreate the issue?  If so I'd put in a ticket to get your coal back.  They have logs, that go back a good ways too.

 

EDIT: I'm retarded.  I finally put 2 and 2 together, it doesn't equal couch.

Yeah, that is a major issue.  I haven't bought flags in a hot minute, so it is good that you brought it up.
