Just to clarify how our math worked,  before the rework, not all focus schools cost the same amount of focus to "max out".  There was a quite significant delta of about 2.6 million points between the least expensive school (Vazarin) and the most expensive school (Zenurik). Additionally, in the old system not all nodes had the same number of ranks or even the same value per rank. After the rework, schools all have an equal number of ranks and nodes that cost an equal amount of focus to upgrade.  So it is possible that some people might not be able to fully unlock every rank of the reworked school even if they could afford every rank of the older, cheaper version. The old cost of upgrading the Focus Capacity was also divided equally to each school, but we fully refunded that so as long as you converted your Radiant Eidolon Shards into Focus points then that shouldn't set back your progress.

This was all spreadsheeted and tested fairly intensively, and for accounts that we've investigated after the update, everything seems to be working as expected. I'm sorry that some of you feel like you didn't get back as much as you thought you were going to, but we tried to be fair by both giving back everything you had earned and making sure the new schools were a better balanced, enticing and rewarding investment. It's also worth pointing out that we added new ways to gain Focus points in the new region that previously did not exist, specifically in order to make sure players had points to invest and explore the Focus trees.
