Maybe you should have exchanged it for a hammer... and call it sunder.

Intended to exchange it, but made a mistake in a hurry between matches late at night lol.

The thing is that "reforge" exchanges your +3 item for 2 loompoints, whereas "exchange" lets you exchange your +3 item for another +3 item. Two different things. It's written in the description before you confirm the action anyway.

You are entirely accurate.

The exchange was no longer an option, as it appears to have been removed as none of my masterworks were exchanged, even though I intended to lol.

The reforge does clearly say what happens, I clicked confirm as I selected continue and clicking the cancel action was too late. It sill went through.

Am I just out of luck on this one?

Hello,

This was a pretty dumb move on my end, made a huge mistake.

So haven't played too much lately but been really enjoying getting back into CRPG. Last time I played the revival patch came out and offered free reforging for your items, of course I could not make up my mind. So yesterday finally decided to reforge my Mighty Persian Battle Axe to a Mighty Celtic Axe and I failed to realize that offer expired and instead exchanged my Mighty Persian for two heirloom points.

If there any way to either reverse this mistaken swap or to still exchange MW items through reforging?

Would be nice to hear from devs will spathion stay slot 0 before people start to loom it?

Read the entire forums before your post.

Speaking in general military mechanics, a spear always beats a sword.

2 Slot change to crossbow was heavily needed. If there were no changes to 1 handed weapons this would be a significantly larger nerf. However with many new 0 slot 1 handed it is great. I think intention here is in efforts to fix all of those Crossbowmen using two handed weapons. Just my two cents, game on!

the Spathion is a good weapon... but not great. I believe it is 0 slot intentionally and that keeping it as such is perfectly OK. Think about it... It is VERY expensive... 0 slots makes it a tempting item for archers and xbows.. but xbows and bows are pretty pricey and if you use good ammo then your cost is getting pretty high... throw in a 10k side arm and you will lose money unless you switch to cheap ammo.

Thanks for the quick reply! You have a very good argument however balance should not be purely based around upkeep cost. As that creates an additional barrier against newer players (First couple of generations which as a casual gamer can take many months to reach) while the majority of players seem to be veterans only benefiting them further. Many players have lots of gold, many of the mounts cost 3x the cost of this sword and that does not prevent them from being 5+ of them all the field at all times. (During normal hours)

Having a long 0 slot weapon is of course an option, but this still does not make any sense as look at Knightly Arming Sword and Nordic Champions which cost only 500-1500 gold less and take up 1 slot, If that was the preferred course of action then I would expect all of those swords to also be 0 slot items instead of just being worthless as they are now.

Making short reach shorts swords 0 slot is great, that gives archers a way to realistically defend themselves using short weapons. I strongly disagree with making Spathion 0 slot, this is a huge mistake for CRPG as the biggest class benefited is Cavalry. You don't see Cav's running around with short sword trying to swipe people.

Hello,

First of all let me say great effort in the patch, Wonderful new artwork for new armors/etc.

I like the CrossBow 2 slot change to go with 0 slot change to 1h short swords, seems logical change for the better.

I have to assume making Spathion 0 slot was a mistake, because it simply does not make sense. The Spathion is a heavier longsword better than Knightly Arming Sword/Nordic Champions Sword. So why would Spathion be a 0 slot and the others be 1 slot?

My two cents:  Make Spathion a 1 slot item and then normalize the overpowered Paramerion sword worth half the cost.

Sincerely,

Keening
