So... some guilds were compensated for the connection issue? 5 people (including myself) in my guild had battles crash. What is the criteria to be compensated? Just curious.
Because it should be the same rewards for every guild this TW. Giving both guilds extra rewards does not compensate anything. It‘s just a nice present for everybody. We f.e. faced two Revan Walls in the front and lost a couple of our Revan counters in the first minutes of the TW. So we were not able to full clear later on. Our opponent only lost some ewok counters because of the bug. So they could still full clear when everything was fixed.
And sending rank one rewards for everyone that came second isn't fair either. We lost counters to BH and FO. Still won. During the first couple of hours our opponent didn't act, why should they get extra rewards?
250 crystals to everyone is more than fair in my opinion.
Cancelling the ridiculous bonuses for awhile is reward enough!
Han bonus was my favorite.

The droid one I had no idea what I was doing was just lucky it worked.
The silver lining here - devs are reading and listening. Even if you don’t agree with the outcome.
I’m always in the camp of - even if I don’t like something , other people do. That doesn’t mean just because I don’t like something it should be eradicated.
Again I applaud the attempts and the listening. Trying things is never a bad thing and imo is how something or someone grows.
Why not just give everyone 1/20th of a zeta? That’s what we’re playing TW for anyway.
250 crystals? I can’t even call that “walking around money”.
I don’t understand why CG is always stingy, and/or provides compensation that compensates nothing. Example: 10 MK5 Stun Gun Prototypes costs 260 crystals in weekly shipments.
Participation trophy? No. You want something: earn it.
Unfortunately there is absolutely no way for any one to guarantee the outcome would be different for the event had this not happened.
A blanket "make good" is the only way this should be done.
A more fair compensation would have been to simply award all of the 2nd place guilds the difference in rewards between 2nd and 1st place, giving everyone 1st place rewards. That would simply nullify this unfair TW.
I think it would make sense to give all the second-place guilds rewards for first place, and for the ones that manage to come in first give them 250 crystals. That way everybody gets something and is better off than they would have been otherwise.
You know, as long as we're all offering opinions that will make no difference whatsoever.

I’ll take your idea 1 step further: give second place teams 1st place rewards, AND give first place teams 2nd place rewards. 🤯
That would not only make everyone equal, but tell players “we’re sorry if you experienced an inconvenience, and we appreciate you playing this game”.

I’m pretty confident that if zetas were purchasable via crystal they would cost way more then 250 crystals..
But they aren't. 250 crystals are worth more than 2k fleet currency.
2k fleet currency - 5 batches of 5 shards, 25 total
250 crystals - 5 cheap shards from shipments, or 3 expensive ones.
2k fleet currency equals 1 zeta mat , worth lot more than a measly 250 crystals. But keep trying to pound the cg drum. Its pathetic, no matter how you spin it 250 crystals is not worth more than even 1 zeta mat.
Plus add the current. we know ppl are cheating and we might do something in the future. shows just how much CG cares about the players, which is to say not at all.

Wait what? I was just showing how 2k fleet currency is worth more than 250 crystals.

Hey, if you need 25 SRP shards, be my guest.
Crystals are more valuable because of their flexibility. I can farm mods with them. I can farm or buy almost any shards I want, versus the limited selection in the fleet store. I can farm or buy almost any gear I want. I can refresh my arena battles and earn even more crystals.
The problem with a single zeta mat (or in this case, 2000 fleet currency) is what I can't do with it. Crystals give me a choice.
And more to the point, people complain because CG used to give out crystals for stuff like this, and then hadn't been doing it any more. So they finally do it, and people still complain. People always complain. This place is a very silly place.

But how does that "make good" for the players who were effected by this but still won?

This ^
We had people in our guild who were affected, I'm not sure if the opposing guild did too, and we managed to win. It was neck-and-neck but we won and it was a really fun TW. If CG were to simply give both 1st place, I'm not sure my guildmates would like that.

250 crystals for EVERYBODY is no make up at all.
How is it not, there was an issue that was game wide and CG is giving out compensation for everyone.

Not yet. None of my guild has.
Same here. Glad that I'm not the only one.
