So when you login after the patch, everyone will start with the "base" free loadout (meaning you have just the Soldier, Pathfinder and Juggernaut unlocked). However, you will be refunded all Gold you have purchased/spent, as well as all XP/Tokens that you have earned. Since we are combining Tokens and XP into a single currency -- every token you have earned to date will be worth ~8 XP. This means that you will not be locked into your previous purchase choices --> and can make all new choices on how to spend your XP based on the new design without being locked into classes/upgrades/etc that you purchased previously.

This was confirmed as a guaranteed fix for this patch yet I don't see a mention of it and for most of us its a pretty big thing. _________________ HiRezKate wrote: Your frustration and tears feed my creativity.<3 Last edited by Mono on Thu Feb 02, 2012 11:52 am, edited 1 time in total.

That is interesting, in theory the upgrades should come a bit faster if you would focus on those. _________________
