Event UI is bugged, the dev's know and will get it fixed eventually

Sparrow · June 16, 2016 7:47PM

TL:RD see the title

Longer story over on Reddit one of the awesome Dev's has confirmed that the UI shows a summation of all possible rewards in an event. So if it says 10 shards that is because it is drawing from a loot table that has a possibility of 1, or 2, or 3, or 4 shards, the sum of which is 10.

Unfortunately this fix is not a simple one and will require an update through the app store, not a trivial thing.

So when designing the event they had the choice, give really bad rewards so the US is correct, or give better rewards but have the UI blow it up. they chose better rewards.

And before you complain, if the event just gave 1 shard then the possible rewards would look right, it would just be crepe*.

Yeah but we spent on refreshes

Whitchit · June 16, 2016 7:54PM

Hmm I spent crystals refreshing to try to get these great rewards. More apology crystals!!

SteelBlade · June 16, 2016 7:54PM

Then why there was not the same problem with droid or play to give event??

Just trying to get a little PSA out there, it sucks but at least the more you know....

AlwaysABigerFish · June 16, 2016 7:56PM

Yeah it's honestly kinda messed* up that it shows 2million credits when that's actually NOT possible. They haven't even made a statement about it, but that's to be expected by the devs. They have worse customer service than the DMV

I don't believe this explanation for a second. Nope.

Whitchit · June 16, 2016 7:59PM

I had a guild member state that they got 750k from the middle tier

So why not let everyone know before we spend crystals on this?

Timitock · June 16, 2016 8:03PM

Wait, so they released an Event they knew to be bugged?

EM650 · June 16, 2016 8:03PM

Yes, I refreshed a few times and all I got was JKG shards.

Not once on completing any of the event challenges did I receive purple ability mats.

You just answered your own question... They want you to spend crystals, then go buy some more!

Of course! And it's our job as beta testers to point out these bugs. Mission accomplished!

Nicol_Bolas · June 16, 2016 8:06PM

is it really difficult to give everyone some credits/crystals and call it a day?

PhilosopherCody · June 16, 2016 8:07PM

The only way to correct the problem, is to send everyone the max rewards for the three tiers. If you sent everyone the three max rewards, then if you refreshed or not, you still got the max rewards at least once.

Timitock · June 16, 2016 8:08PM

Knowingly releasing faulty product is fraudulent business practice.

Nicol_Bolas · June 16, 2016 8:10PM

Can you imagine buying a lottery that is a 1mil jackpot, only to find out that the max reward is $10 per person and the 1mil represents the sum of everyone's winnings?! Lol ridiculous

John1818 · June 16, 2016 8:13PM

Honestly you've just got to tip your cap to this move. Can't imagine how much extra they made today off of suckers like me. Whoever came up with that plan should either demand a raise or start looking for a job on wallstreet

It doesn't matter whether it is a game. It caused people to waste real life money.

Bleh you made a choice too, good luck with your lawsuit against every video game company.

Salacious_Slug · June 16, 2016 10:30PM

Why are we always the ones to test new content? Do any of the devs play the game? Maybe they can pay the guy that cleans up their cigarette butts and moutain dew bottles some overtime as a beta tester.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

"Cause" would be EA/CG reaching into your e-wallet and taking your money, or auto-refreshing, or mind-controlling you into spending it. If you spent money or Crystals, that's on you. And the first time was free. If you didn't get anywhere near what you were expecting on that attempt, why on earth would you spend resources to do it again?

While I party agree with you, in the possible rewards section, the first time rewards had low credit values and shard values. Then in the other section it had millions of credits. This was pretty confusing as that is a huge range of possible outcomes, and they usually aren't like that. One possible explanation would be that ft he first time you get 50k, and the second time you get 2 million. I'm not saying that makes perfect sense, but the fact that they gave so little explanation makes confusion arise

I refreshed many times, and only got fewer shards, I thought something was wrong.
Now I want my crystals back!!

Careful, there's a wookie on the prowl

Ravenclaw1974 · June 17, 2016 2:51AM

I also refreshed 2 times in middle tier and 4 times in the last one. Just hoping RNG would shine down 2 million credits on me but now I know it was basically false advertising.
