9 chevron token upgrades dont work?

[Chris lol]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I have a 9 chevron tosa rifleman with 8 point spent, more than enough clan tokens available AND i am in an imperial clan. Yet i can not buy the increased range upgrade. Anyone know if this is liek this for all units or just the Tosa's?

I tried changing clans and restarting the game but i really cant buy the upgrade

EDIT: pre patch the requirement used to be "requires 8 point spent in other skills". Now it is "requires points in 8 other skills". Do they expect us to have 8 different skills with a single point in to it now??

[Knowing Crow]

That must be a bug, they can't possibly expect people to place 8 points into different skills, especially since I only count 6 that you can possibly get by placing 1 point into each skill. Hence if it actually is 8 separate skills, it would be impossible to get the 9 point skills.

[Chris lol]

Yeah exactly. So i placed in 8 points, i am imperial clan like required, i have more than enough tokens...

Yet no option to upgrade the range. Typical CA >_>

[Useless]

imperial clan, oh i didnt know i matter what clan you was.i was already in a clan guess i need to leave and rejoin to choose this option!

[Knowing Crow]

Are you sure you are in an Imperial Clan? As in, do you have the Imperial Clan Retainer? I had a problem where I was in a clan but didn't have the retainer, I had to leave and rejoin the clan which fixed it.

It might be that the game doesn't think that you are in an Imperial Clan.

>tried changing clans

[Knowing Crow]

I asked if you have the Imperial Clan retainer, you haven't answered that.

[Chris lol]

Yea i have it. Tried 4 different clans etc, really does not look like it will be working for me anytime soon :\

[Knowing Crow]

Ah, well damn. I'm vetting my own Tosa Rifles and may run into the exact same problem then.

Getting the same issue with Black Bears Chris, I'm in imperial have the retainer yet can't upgrade range, appears to be bugged on certain units the level 9 upgrades.

A lot us of us in Aggony having the issue with certain level 9 upgrades.

This was also a problem in the beta, you need 8 DIFFERENT skills not just 8 points spent, all the abilties must have only 1 point in them, stupid I know but tthats how it is unfortunately.

Thats a bit strange because you can upgrade range on other units at level 9 without that issue. Like you say though stupid idea, lets add it to the loss of F buttons as another new stupid feature.

You need to buy 8 unit skill upgrades, don´t buy any clan skill upgrades.

After you´ve done that, close the window, open it again and you can buy the range upg.

I cant believe it changed, i think its a bug, in stw2 the same system is being used and i dont think they really changed the system. I also reported the issue yesterday in this thread on tw. but no response yet. I really think its a bug as the definition of skill is a bit vague, when you upgrade for example the reload speed, and then again after it, the skill is named different (something like: 'better reload speed') which i count as a new skill (which stw2 counted a new skill at least), and the reload of the clan upgrades and the unit skill upgrades, are they the same aswell, or do they mean you only have to spend pionts in either the clan upgrades od the normal unit skill upgrades? Questions questions? I dont believe its that, just a bugger the bug.

So depressing.

My current (FoTS vs FoTS) army features 150 range royal marines, 150 range inf de marine and 150 range US marines all at the same time. (i use a little trick to replenish them between battles)

I was hoping getting 175 range tosa's would be a great way to deal with enemy foreign infantry.

What trick?

[Abu of Agrabah]

Ok, i tried it and didnt work, anyone could get it into working? I could upgrade but after 8 upgrades the 9 didnt went open, like in stw2 you have to close the screen to confirm the upgrades. So no fix yet.

[SuicideNooch]

You sick bastard, after fighting against Amans 150 range inf de marine I cried a little inside and realized I need to play a lot moar... and get me some of those.

An official response from Nicklaus of the TW forums. I havent tried it yet but will today.

Hi, we've reproduced the issue and reported it.

For the time being, you can dodge the issue by avoiding clan skills until you have all points available to you. For example, say you want to spend 5 points on Unit Skill Upgrades and 4 points on Clan Skill Upgrades. By all means, spend the 5 points on Unit Skill Upgrades, but do not spend any points on Clan Skill Upgrades until the following criteria are met:

1) Your veteran reaches max level.
2) You have all the required clan tokens to buy your chosen Clan Skill Upgrades.

Upon reaching this criteria, spend your remaining 4 points on Clan Skill Upgrades all in one go, without leaving the veteran skill tree. This should effectively avoid the issue.

Thats at least some positive news about it, look forward to hearing the testing results.

The only problem maybe is how can you spend all clan points in one go as won't you have to leave the upgrade screen to get it to recognise you have 8 upgrades before you can do the last 20 token upgrade. Still hope I'm wrong.
