Re: Duplicates Still DONT give back CREDITS!!!

Ok guys, this is slightly off topic, but I just logged in and found a new Star Card related Bug! :D

I had three purple Star Cards on my Interceptor, when I checked through my collection I saw that I had a white one equipped, I was wondering "huh, when did I do this?"

The answer is: I didnt. They game has downgraded my purple "Justierte Laser" (adjusted Laser?") card which increases primary weapons fire rate by 20% back to common quality, but therefore it has upgraded the "turn rate star card" (Elite Pilot?) which I've certainly never used before to purple. 

Oh DICE, you guys really found a way to put some of this Disney magic into your crafting system.

Btw. what am I doing with the 360 crafting parts I still have in stock? 

Did the update to check if i recieved my backlog duplicate credits but my game won't launch.

Made a topic about this:

Getting so tired of this game.............

@Lucien1969

Mate, you are really haunted, I feel with you... ;-(

@DukeLasermaster Same. I think two Star Cards got swapped.. I've made a new topic https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/PS4-1-08-update-Swapped-Star-Cards/td-p/6706147

After restarting the game I received eleven crates to open. Got 337.000 Credits compensation, then I ran out of crates, so Im not sure if thats all.

I hope one of their DLCs will be a Hutt Palace with Pazaak and Twi'lek slave girls, otherwise I have no idea what to do with all those credits now. 

@DukeLasermaster If you have a lot of crates waiting, I think you should get more of them when you open your next crate. As you can't just buy them any more, you should get them with tomorrow's daily.

I know they are not of use atm, but this was still pretty satisfying :D

@K_Nastee_K We've been trying to find out if anything can be done for those affected by this, but I have no info right now, sorry. 

Just logged on to Star Wars got a handle full of crates with roughly 10000 credits in. That's nothing compared to how much it owes me. Tried to play a match nothing. Tried to upgrade a card screen frozen. It's going well so far.

Only had enough time this morning to download the patch and login to check the issue.  Looks like I SEVERELY underestimated the amount of backlog credits I was owed.  My initial estimate was 50-60K.  Saw 11 crates when I logged in, by the time I was done opening I was up more than 140K.  Really would have been nice to have those yesterday as I had to make some tough choices about which cards to unlock/upgrade before the patch dropped.  If I would have had these prior, I would have had everything unlocked and quite a bit more CP sitting in reserve.

Main point of the thread has been resolved for me now though, it appears that I have received my duplicate credit back log.  I'll keep an eye out over the next few days to see what their thoughts are regarding our experience and whether or not we will receive any bonus compensation.

just checking in with a total.

169,000 in duplicate awards.

You might immediately say "but that doesn't divide by 300" but I know I had some duplicate guns that said 200 for dups, so it's probably right.

Seems my old estimate was a bit low.

So now the trouble is how do you convert that to other compensation?

Those would have been 169 skill points worth of parts if I'd opened them yesterday.  (and just to state it again, the devs view a crate for a skill point and a crate for 1k credits as equivalent.)

But how do you compare 6760 parts spread over the past months of the bug?  If this had been fixed two months ago, would I have gotten around to spending 480 making my officer's Resourceful card Epic?  I'm out the level from that, and have to grind 6 more levels to get permission to upgrade it even they decide to give me 12 skill points compensation.

How do you compensate for levels gating cards we should have been able to buy?  I'm not irrational enough to expect 169 level boosts from my credits.  But it's not merely 1 level per 12k credits, either, because I might have made rare or uncommon upgrades if I had those 6760 parts.

Maybe good compensation is a "go up a level" token for every 4400 delayed credits?  so figure over those months we missed a new card - directly or by accumulating parts - in every 2 hero crates we could have opened.  @EA_David, what do you think?

I also received my credits. I went from 682 credits to 387 332 credits. Holy cow.

Thanks for the compensation, developers. Hopefully, you'll have news if we're able to convert this to crafting parts, as that would be the fairest thing.

I logged in and had a bunch of crates to open. I want to thank EA for fixing this, but I also want to say we waited a very, very long time to have this fixed for us. I would think that there was above the conversion of the credits to parts, some sort of plan to give us a "Thank you for still being customers and waiting 3 months for a fix in the progression system, sort of gift." I might be asking for too much, but I do feel that our time is worth something and this thread being almost 110 posts is pretty substantial I would think. Me thinking might be the error here though.


Credits 234,000 is what I received. I guess I only had a few emotes and guns (13,000) but all and all its nice to finally go into a game and see the progression!

I got one skill point for Armor (this is new) and one for Assult in one match.

Just jumping on the train here.  Went from 50 to 184,880 credits this morning.   I would also like to know what the plan is to move these to crafting parts/skill points/etc. as it will be ridiculous and a total shame if I have to use these on cosmetic upgrades.

I can concur that i go on and had 60,000 waiting. Opened the 10 crates that also came with and now i have over 270,000 credits.

Con: I didn't get to use any of this to get crafting part and now is too late

Pro: looks like they fixed the bug once and for all

The Second I Got On  (60,241 credits on my account. Minus about 2,000 I already had by default)



Before Opening The Crates Added To Account (60,241 credits)

After Opening All Crates (272,241 credits)

@Paodok I had a credit increase when I logged in as well. I also had 10 crates to open and each one I opened significantly increased my credits as well. I do have to give credit where due and thank EA for attempting to compensate us for the trouble we have had. I know that this isnt the solution we were hoping for because this still leaves us at a great disadvantage in regards to our character levels being where they potentially could be. Maybe this is just the beginning of what they have planned for our fix, keep in mind that we do have another update coming in April. I know that crafting parts would have been best for us or at least some increase in levels, but I am optimistic at this point because at least our issue is getting some attention !!! I also got about 230K credits. 

@XFerginatorX SAME !!! , Hopefully this is just the start, as I posted earlier, we are still at a great disadvantage because we werent able to upgrade our cards like everyone else, but, I am happy that they are attempting to take care of us here in some way.  

@EA_David First off, thank you.  Please send a sincere thanks to everyone who worked on the latest update and for all of those who communicated with us, despite the presence of hostility on our side.  I can relate directly to the in and outs of working for a large corporation and the frustrations that it causes but I also understand the benefits of working for a large corporation so it is a give and take, much like anything in life.  The progression system is awesome and most importantly it works well.  I already upgraded a card to elite for my fighter and bomber and it didn't take that long so I am excited for the future of this game for the first time in recent months.  Although my shorted total has already jumped to 430,000 credits on the first day of opening crates, I am still excited to play again.  That said I want to trade in my credits for a Imperial Star Destroyer that I can call in to Galatic Assault.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with those giving props to EA for datamining our missing credits.

They're going to turn microtransactions back on.  They can't be shorting players when they do that.

EA cannot say "For $20 we'll give you a bunch of credits, but the first $10 or so worth of that are credits you should have earned by didn't because of our bug, oh well, our bad, tough luck, thanks for the cash though!"

We got what we earned, at last.  We are still short the opportunity to convert those to crates, which would have been more cards, levels in the new system, maybe an emote along the way, etc.  I don't think they've made things even, they just got them closer, and I hope there's a follow-up compensation to make up for the terrible way they dismissed this progression bug without giving it the proper attention they gave credit awards from matches and milestones.  This should have been a top-level issue, we got almost no attention for months.
