Emergency Meeting : Anniversary event shard RESET your 500 counters

CEO: Guys, we have serious issue, I can't believe somebody have proof that we screwed them up:

https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/ll00yr/friendly_reminder_that_anniversary_event_reset/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Marketing: I thought our QA foresee this scenario, many people already raise question about it prior the event started.

QA: Well, I don't have $500 dollar to spend, so I can NOT test it ! 

CEO: What ?? Why you don't hack it ? I thought we own this damn thing !

QA: You mean cheat the system ?  I wish I know how then I will have a lot of heirloom by now. I don't have a single one like everybody else ☹️

CEO: Why don't you ask ?

QA: Will you  approve $500 everytime we need to test it ?  We might have a lot of scenarios though, so I could go up as high 50,000 ! 

CEO: You asking for ONE bitcoin now ??  Don't you know I've a huge FOMO right now !

Dev: Calm down guys, we will fix this, but we need to dig deep since we need to recover the apex pack counter back, and we're not sure about this.

CEO: Many people have been asking to display this counter since day-1, we should already have it, right ?

Dev: Yes, it stored in the profile but we hide it.

CEO: Good, we avoid a lot of lawsuits because of that, but can we restore the last value before the event start ? Do we have a backup ?

Dev: Yes, we have, we back up periodically, every month.

CEO: So the best we can do is to restore last month, Jan 31st, right ?

Dev: Yes, but we lost data from Feb 1st to beginning of the event.

CEO: Yeah, but they won't realize it since we hide the counter. 

Legal team: Glad we hide it in the 1st place. Imagine public backlash & following lawsuit if we show that counter .

CEO: Agree, we can scam them so hard and they won't have a proof of that.

          So let's do it then.

Dev: OK BOSS.

  • @asukojo This probably could be one of the most important emergency meetings we had until now lol. Getting scammed so blatantly by Respawn.

  • @asukojo Heads up: The @PlayApex Anniversary Collection Event heirloom pack had a bug.

    It unintentionally reset the "counter" that guarantees you get heirloom shards every 500 packs. Only people who opened the heirloom pack before 3pm PT on 2/10 were affected, as the bug was fixed.

    Dev: Done Boss.

    CEO: Good job, now how to cover our * without looks so bad ?

    Marketing: Don't worry boss, we get used to this already, we will make it looks like an "accident" and we will give a little treat so they shut up  🙂

    CEO: Great, that will do it.

    Marketing:Most importantly our scam mechanic is still hidden and going strong.

    CEO: YES, YES, YES 🙂

    QA: Can I get bitcoin now ?

    CEO: NO NO NO !

    QA: How about heirloom ?

    CEO: Since Dev has fixed the issue, you don't need it anymore, right ?

    QA:   ☹️    (hang up the phone)

  • @asukojo I do, but mentioning me doesn’t work since I disabled getting notifications if someone mentions me. I just look at threads that peak my interest :P

    That bitcoin one was a nice touch ^^
