    They were hoping you wouldn't notice that they can't add. From the RNG, shield calculations, to damage surge bolter overbuffs and bloodhound overnerfs it's obvious someone at Trion needs to take a basic arithmetic course.

    Programming refresher wouldn't hurt either.

    They are not dumb, they do these things on purpose. Because, "What the hell are you going to do about it?" NOTHING, just complain in the forums until you get banned, but ultimately NOTHING. However there are a bunch of people that will unwittingly pay the amounts and Trion wins. When they finally do feel the pressure they call it a "copy/paste error" or a "typo". You're Welcome.

    Now that you said something, they are sure to raise the prices now. Way to go!

    I've seen things with a discount that goes up (e.g. normally 100 bits but with a 10% discount its 110 bits.) Someone pressed + instead of - it seems.

    When they added this it was a charity offering: "Purchase the Lab Coat and proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders"

    ....but then they add the bundle and title it "Lab Coat" and the proceeds from that go to Trion - only if you buy the Lab Coat alone is it charity.

    It's not math they have a problem with it is honesty.

    Because buying the bundle saves you like four mouse clicks. Obviously Trion is going to monetize that. Isn't a few seconds of your life worth a few dollars?

    I have only one friend left in Defiance. We are making bets on what are they going to monetize next.

    I say : payment for gasoline. I mean, honestly, when is the last time you took a walk to an arkfall?
    He sais : payment for chat privileges. This part hasn't been really touched so it's to come. 1000 words in bit sore?

    I think he's going to win. Indirectly ..... but nevertheless. Support will be paid and since chat is sometimes not working...we are getting there.

    As for the lab coat ....they probably have an RNG for the bit store. It would make sense.

    Inevitably a typo or copy/paste error. Did any of these guys actually take a typing/proofreading class in high school?

    Clearly Trion should raise the prices of the individual items to rectify this mistake asap!

    The only title that I'll ever need is the one that I received before last year's Extra Life weekend. :)

    Surely they'll make the bundle more expensive though? xD

    Most definitely, then they'll nerf the costumes.

    Hey everyone,

    The pricing oddity on the bundle was an oversight due to the current outfit/headgear sale we are running this weekend. Thanks for pointing it out. The discount was applied to all items in the outfit and headgear sections of the store, since the bundle is part of a different category it did not get the discount. Given that the bundle did not provide a discount since it was a charity item, it has been removed from the store.

    Probably the same reason why 10% off from patron pass plus 25% off from new promotion totals 33% off.
    Trion math for you :)

    Flat out lie. The bundle was not for charity. The coat was for charity. The headgear was for Trion.

    So no one is even going to address the fact that they blatantly lied? Hmm... I suppose the community is becoming a bit numb to Trions tactics.
