Permanent weapon isn't really permanent

[IShyva 1]

Hi there. Accepted CAP40 from my mailbox. Was laying there since 2016, from Innova times. 

Text of the mail: "Thx for inviting so many friends in APB. Accept this permanent version of CAP40 as a reward"

Aaaaand it's for 7 days. Is it a bug or ...?

this has been around for awhile, and unfortunately has effected a lot of people including my self, so my understanding to this is..  (iv tried to word it so it doesn't read like dribble) 

 

in game "Item" management system is a complex "one tile" system.   so in reference to making tweaks to gun stats its the same for trail times, availability, level usability etc, "one tile" being every individual item / version of an item has a "tile" card or "info card"  think like football player cards , were the game can reference to the "stats" of each item. these "tiles" also hold  prem, trial, contact etc. 

 

you need to keep in mind this games system is 10+ years old. were coding was not as flexible as it is now.    

 

so example being 

 

Stac10 you may of received as achievement back in 2016 as a perm status,  if the item is not in your actually account inventory then it is still in the realms of "game/server side Inventory" thus,  if dev's changed that achievement reward to 60 day trial in say 2018,  then your gun in the email will be updated to what reflects the games "tile info or Gun Info Card" for that achievement. 

 

I once had close to 600+ emails of just guns.  over the 10+ years iv played since alpha/beta . iv lost probably 200 of them, and most of them have been changed from perm to trial. 

 

Just one of those things bud.
