No, no, no, it's for everybody.  Perma +1 AP/DP for all, regardless of when they started playing.

@LcV Actually, I did.  The reason for it is because we're PA's playerbase.  And as a wonderful company like PA, they love us!  We are really an awesome and well-deserving group of people who play / continue to play their game.  So it'd be a show of "Hey you, our playerbase, you guys are awesome, so here's the free gifts we promised you for the transition, and as an added surprise, everyone gets +1 AP/DP, no matter when you started the game!  Thanks for playing our game and we hope this aids you in your many future adventures with us to come!"

How awesome would that be?

Oh, and also @LcV, this doesn't make sense: "if everyone gets to keep the temporary stats, you actually don't gain anything", curious what you mean by that?  Because I read it as "if everyone gets a hamburger, you actually don't get a hamburger", if you catch my drift.  This +1 AP/DP could help players reach a bracket, for example, so yes, players do gain.  All players - bracket for those close to it, one AP/DP closer for those who are climbing up.

(It's really just a shot in the dark, I'm not banking on this request, so don't take it too seriously, I'm gearing up regardless.  289/289/354 Kutum and climbing BABY!!!)

It is to my understanding this is NOT a buff granted to everyone during the transition, but mere compensation for an error that occured to many players during the transition phase.

Adventures may notice their sheet AP/DP is missing a point and thus this buff is used to compensate.  (This buff does not increase your sheet AP/DP and to my knowledge is unconfirmed about whether it impacts AP/DP brackets).

I hear ya. Am just shooting in the dark. Would be nice if the error in your ap gets fixed and we get to keep the +1ap/dp on top of it.

What did we do to deserve it, some may ask? Well. For being the awesome playerbase we are and for playing their game, Black Desert Online. What better reason? xD

I think it does influence brackets since it's sheet stats. I've tested it through anecdotal means only though...but can feel a massive increase in damage at 289 Kutum compared to 287 Kutum (I just got a V Kutum kinda recently). It's very noticable increase.

I get what you're saying, but to be fair we have received quite a few stat points through additional books.

Side Note: The REAL catch up mechanics should have been all the minor updates too.

For example we just recieved more than 1 Free Stat point by allowing 6 skills to have add ons of your choice.  Those are the kind of more organic catch up mechanics that should be used.  Things like +20% Drop Rate from Ecology that players didn't have year ago makes a huge difference.

Gear wise it would make no sense to keep the +1, use the time with the +1 to gain it normally.

That's what I'm doing xD

Agreed.

I would like to get this bonus to be permanent through some journal/adventure log that would be released to everyone on the day of the transfer.

Fun fact. The +1 AP actually took me to 281 AP, when it fades, I'll drop a damage bracket. Muwahhaha! lol
