Does the Alpha squad boost still get lost if removed?

MrBloodworth · 2013-01-22, 11:48 AM

My group has recently been buying and using squad boosts, would like to give back as well, however I have the alpha squad boost.

Does it still go away if its removed?

J Baley · 2013-01-22, 11:52 AM

I believe it does. I've never used it when they returned it to me the first time I screwed up. But the boosts you buy are much better than the Alpha anyway.

MrBloodworth · 2013-01-22, 12:03 PM

Yeah, they are. I suppose that's the choice I have to make at this point then.

I wont buy a single boost till this fraud is solved.

Wrong site?

Any boost that is equipped, will be overridden by new boosts you equip. If it's still in your inventory you can save it for when ever you want. It's not as good as the ones in the store, but it lasts 6 months, wish I still had mine

Yeah.. Bad business I say.

I sent a ticket some hours ago asking if I could purchase the boosts now and equip them when my Alpha Squad runs out in four months time, I'll post their response if/when I get one.

You don't need to send a ticket fit that, you could have asked here: it's no problem, I just bought 3 boosts and they are waiting to be equipped whenever I want.

Ya. I still have my alpha squad boost. I'm planning to use them when it runs out, and since they're half off today... I bought 10.

Ok, since I still don't have any response to my ticket and time is moving on, I went ahead and bought 16 Xp boosts. Thanks for the heads-up.

Mine disappeared months ago when I equipped a different boost. I just opened a support ticket about it.

Brusi · 2013-01-22, 07:25 PM

I'm still waiting for my boost to be returned!

yozzer · 2013-01-24, 01:53 PM

Ok here's the official response to my ticket asking about purchasing boosts to be used at a later date, and as I took the correct advice from you guys and went ahead before the sale ran out. So here is official closure to my question, two days later.

Hello yozzer!

Thank you for contacting PlanetSide 2, this is Operative Ghrutz

I understand you had some questions about boosts. If you were to purchase the 7 Day boost you would be able to wait until the end of the Alpha Squad Boost duration and then equip it as the timers do not start on boosts until they are equipped. It is also important to note that equipping a boost while another boost is equipped will overwrite the boost removing it from your inventory, hope this information helped you out. If you have any more questions or concerns please feel free to contact us again.

Victory or Death!
