Cost Discrepancy for Enhancements (In Game vs Announcement)

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra @Kabam Zibiit Not sure who exactly the person to tell this to is, so I just tagged you all. In the announcement for the symbiote event this month, you guys give the costs (in strands) that each enhancement will cost. However, I am noticing some discrepancy between the announcement and what the enhancements actually cost in game. Below you can see what I am saying.

In this picture it shows "undying" costing 12 strands. In game, however, it costs 15 strands as shown below.

There are others I have noticed that also share this discrepancy in the cost, "Total Carnage" and "Unknown Enemy" being two others that you can see in this screenshot. Not sure what the real price should be, but I am hoping it is what you guys told us in the announcement.

Also while we are on the topic of enhancements, it would be really nice if in game we could see how long each of these boosts last when we tap on them to see the description. It seems unfair that we can't see this until after we use the boost (presumably).

    Would be great if we could get some clarification on this before the event quest goes live in an hour and people start buying these enhancements.

    Theyre probably updating the announcement and not values in game.

    If they do, that would be the wrong way to do this. It makes no sense to back on what they told us. But I suppose we will see. I suspect you are probably right though.

    Actually now that I'm looking at it, it looks like the visual for the boosts are also messed up... Undying has a "+100%" symbol on it, but no where in the description of Undying does it say anything about 100%. I think that picture is probably supposed to go with the Evolution enhancement. Also Total Carnage shows some blood and +100%, but that enhancement has nothing to do with 100% of anything. I find it more likely that this visual belongs with Cut Deep.

    Hey all,

    We're looking into this right now! We know this is starting very soon and will update you all as soon as we can! Unfortunately, it won't be before the start of the event :disappointed:

    For the record, I'm not saying which is correct right now, as we need to get that looked at.

    Okay. Thanks for looking into this!

    I’m gonna cut Kabam some slack for this one. Although load times are through the roof, we should still have a really fun month with this event.

    Any word on the second portion of my post? Really doesn't make sense not to show us how long the enhancements last in the store. After all, that may be what makes us decide to buy or not to buy.

    Alright, so it looks like the Forum Post was incorrect. We're going to be fixing that. I do want to point out that while some of them are going to be a little more expensive, there are also ones that are going to be much cheaper (Cut Deep, for instance, was listed at 15, but should be 10).

    As for the durations, it's too late for us to add that now, but the duration is tied to the Cost as well.

    Cost 10: 20 Minutes
    Cost 12: 15 Minutes
    Cost 15: 10 Minutes

    Thanks for the quick answers. I guess the reason I wanted the forum post to be right was because the ones I want to get are more expensive in the game. Sucks, but it's not the end of the world. Still looking forward to testing everything out!

    Totally understandable, and we're sorry for posting the wrong information to begin with. The good news is that you'll be able to earn a lot of the Klyntar Strands throughout the month!

    Thanks for the update! Boost duration greatly appreciated.

    Are the enhancements stackable, or like AW, can you only have one active at a time ?
