As we kept investigating, the full bug was: "you cannot be a class you aren't marked as having." This is an issue that prior iconics have never fallen into. The bundle and the expansion packs are immune from this because they all hand over the class and the race

I posted a thread about it in like july, supposedly devs read all threads, just don't respond to all of them. Another myth busted.

Yep. We wanted to make the Chaosmancer available, but the only way to do so is to release the bundle. Rather than wait, we figured it was better to release the bundle near the price of the Chaosmancer itself.

And to speak on the bug that's keeping it back, originally it was due to an item delivery issue, but the item delivery issue was only the tip of the bug. As we kept investigating, the full bug was: "you cannot be a class you aren't marked as having." This is an issue that prior iconics have never fallen into. The bundle and the expansion packs are immune from this because they all hand over the class and the race with the iconic.

When Chaosmancer is handed out from the bundle by itself, the game is happy to temporarily perceive you as an Eladrin, but it cannot perceive you as a Wild Mage. In order to fix this, it actually touches multiple core game systems on an engineering level - trainers and reincarnation, just to name a few. It's not a quick fix, but it is one that's being put together and will need to be heavily tested because of how many places it impacts.

So once that's addressed, then the bundle will return to its normal listed price. Until then, a fix is being prepared.

I appreciate the details but know that in 4-5 years when the same bug resurfaces we're gonna be blaming you

"you cannot be a class you aren't marked as having."

If only this possibility was pointed out when the bundles were announced...

This transparency convinced me to pick it up. Thank you!
