This was reported on the Test server last week that it was missing. Kaida 50 Defiler ~ Test Chii 30 Monk ~ Test <div></div>

Yup, I was also a bit shocked when I noticed that today. Thanks for the update Moorgard.

<P>MIA and sorelly missed.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Another odd thing, I was searching for spells on the broker using the "gray to orange" filter and Karmic Focus showed up in the search as being a gray spell (i'm a 50 Warden). When I clicked on it, it turned red and dissapeared. Peculiar. <div></div>

[Shantee]

It returned to test last night. unfortantly it came back as a ap 1 spell.  It was a ap 4 for me.  I know some had adept 1 or 2 in it. <div></div>

<P>yes very annoying to have it back app1 now.</P> <P>and there is not even an upgrade on broker atm, just glad i didnt have it master...........   :smileyindifferent:</P>

[toolstech]

Yes, I too noticed it is now back to App I and had it at App IV.  Put in a /petition (after accidentally typing /report ... hmm what will happen from that, oops).  I hope someone can tell me that it can be restored to its previous level. <div></div>

<DIV>*Immediately paid 1g for Adept 1 and got it over with*</DIV>

[Icewolf99]

well buy me one too, absolutely ZERO adepts for sale on my server.  I had Adept I verson before that I paid several gold for, not thrilled that it's now app I..... and adding the water breathing is useless, it only lasts 36 seconds, but the graphic for the water breathing is cool. <div></div>

[Dasanhgul]

<DIV>Lost the App4 of Karmic Focus as well.... came back as App1.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Spell graphics are very cool indeed, but I fail to see the usefulness of a breathing spell that lasts less than its reuse timer.</DIV>

It serves the exact same effect as Karmic focus, only Adept 1 increases your avoidance by 10, instead of 8 for KF.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The visual effects for Karmic Focus was changed to Control Breathing, what with the ghost fish swiming around you and stuff.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sony probably figured that by the time monks get Control Breathing, they'll already have the Fishbone Earring, so the effect on control breathing is kinda pointless because you can have a 12 hour buff on instead.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Karmic Focus on the other hand.. Not *ALL* monks will have the earring by that time, so its cool.</DIV>

<DIV>Had it adept3  now app1 .......</DIV> <DIV>Just think of losing adept 3's and master 1's when the "combat revamp" goes live. Dont really matter to me because they will do the revamp then see how  out of balance stuff is after it and change it again.  Then they will go the Bruiser/Monk Dps class from fighter tree and we will all rejoice and have to upgrade abilities yet again.  One thing you can count on is whatever they do the word "timesink" will beable to desribe it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Think ive got my account paid up for couple months doubt i will renew it after that just delete the characters and move onto somthing new. Ive got a question for everyone.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How do you feel about the fact youve paid SoE to Beta Test this game for the last 7+ months ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just take a couple mins add up the money you have gave them  not to mention the time you put into a character and said character might not even be what you want to play after this revamp. Are you going to start over?   I wont </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then again who knows maybe the game will be better /shrug  </DIV> <DIV>I do know that its very weak on SoE's part to take an abilitie away that 95% of the people had upgraded and say here ya go App1 ?   Wonder if we just sent them half  a payment to play what they would do. Yeah not hard to figure that out huh .</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>I had a very pleasent petition experience over this, they checked the logs to see what I had upgraded Karmic Focus to and gave it back to me, No mess, no fuss.</P> <P>Try it, you'll like it.</P>

[Sbazt]

My wife is soo frusterated over this.  First when it happened and the skill was missing she petitions and a GM said looks like you scribed it blah blah. close petition.  next petition again, GM says devs know and are working on a fix. close petition. ok so far so good. comes back as app1 (note she had just upgraded the day before this patch) 3rd petition, sorry we don't see any record of this happening .... please specify dates etc, dates added to petition, reply from GM sorry we don't see any record of this happening. please see this link for reimbursment policy blah blah close petition. so why could the first GM find that she had scribbed it and later on not... do they just not look? bah <div></div>

[NamaeZero]

I petitioned it and was greeted the next morning by a very nice GM. It's quite an elaborate script hey have to follow to reimburse anyone! But eventually, they got it all back, so no problems.
