Misclicked during 250 canopics instead of choosing race

[louisvilleslugger]

So I got 250 and misclicked during the text. Obviously I wanted a race, otherwise I wouldn't have been saving up.

I got a shield, undrandomized. Is there any way I could get a refund?

Pretty please? Many part 1 runs at 7 per cano on average, for a mess up.

Was around 9pm pacific, 4/18/17. Somehow managed to do the 200 canopics for a unrandomized shield.

i know it hurts for now, but it will get better with time. try to put a positive spin on it, so sikk OP unrand shield is way better than the craptier subrace you woulda got

I would support a refund on this, those 'pay 4x more for an unrandomized XR' options should just be removed; no one in their right mind will ever choose them and they simply lead to situations like this.

You dirty Adblock abuser better use the calculator app next time!

Which shield you get?

[sabregirl]

I think we can do a refund for this.
I'll try to look for you ingame.

Zzz😢 did a similar thing but clicked on a weapon for 250 instead of a book, been saving up for a chance at half storm archon.Seeing as outkast got his misclick refunded would this be refundable?
I rage quit and went to bed before i thought of this post so i have no screen shot, prof might be in the logs?

The weapon must be a bad one

Seems relatively reasonable IF the weapon has not been randomized yet - arguably there is still an advantage because you get to see the weapon type first (I'd *definitely* take an XR Greatsword over a random XR book), but it's probably safe to give the benefit of the doubt here.

If it's already been rolled then I think swapping to a book counts as blatant double-dipping, there's ~30% chance to roll extremely strong Limbo damage types (ie: any 2 out of Cold/Elec/Fire), and certain builds like Shifter-Tanks can still make use of 'bad' weapon types.

Bear in mind that decent weapons offer a far greater power boost than XR races do (in terms of run speed reduction), and there's a fair argument to say that buying XR weapons is generally better than buying XR books.

Really there should be a "You have selected X type, are you sure?" message to avoid this kind of situation.

Haha when u expect to see a unidentified book but get a sai instead😂😂
Yes i probs wouldnt make this post if it was a greatsword.
Same would most likely go for outkast if he got Lies Hidden Beneath( implosion, PWK and weird imm cloak)

To clarify, I think a refund is still reasonable even though you saw the weapon type, because that's unavoidable.

The only issue (in my opinion) would be if you used the randomization power to check the damage types first, before requesting the refund. An analogy would be accidentally buying the wrong type of scratch-lottery card, then scratching it anyway to confirm it isn't a winner, and then trying to get a free swap for the card that you originally wanted.

I think "I want a weapon" option is right under "I want a racebook" when selecting 250 canos reward so it's a good hint it was a legit missclic.

200 and 1000 canos options are so silly that in OP case it was quite obviously a missclic. And ye, those should be removed/reworked. It's safe to assume anybody waiting for the 250 gamble is aiming only at books (if you ask me, 250 should work only for books, while a 100 option for weapons could be introduced, after troll options are removed).
