I'm gathering that the start date in-game (10/19) is wrong based on recent post that says 10/20, but what exactly are the added drops? In game messages for me say Rex shards (LS), Zetas (fleet), Scout shards (cantina) and Drogan shards (Mods). Meathead's post talks about omegas and kyros....?
I loaded up with energy all around the board, went to bed and there was nothing, nothing at all! All those crystals spent for nothing. Some others in my guild were able to farm the extra drops for about 15m after refresh until another update occurred. They have farmed 80 drogan and 50 scout shards!! Totally unfair!
I’m glad I set an alarm to wake up in the middle of the night so I could spend my energy and get back to regenerating… I can do that 2 nights in a row I guess… Maybe this is underlining a bigger problem in my life :)

Yeah same. I hoarded energy and waited for my reset. When my reset happened the bonus drops weren't there and were then changed to drop on the 20th. Amazing job by CG as usual. Why can't they just get things right for once...
Are you actually mad that you have an extra day to hoard energy? I'm really glad they pushed it a day - I had already burned my refreshes yesterday when they made the announcement.

Please be up front with your customers so they can trust you. And if you mess up, then maybe compensate them with some digital currency? Marvel Strike Force does that whenever they make the slightest error, and it earned them a lot of goodwill from me. Just saying, maybe you could consider talking to your players instead of just sneaking in an update that seems to be in bad faith?
Well they are selling energy packs in the web store, which I bought this morning assuming the additive shards were in game due to posts that I read yesterday. Shady if you ask me, but not surprised .

But you can still save that energy and use it tomorrow - in fact you come out better that way. I just don't see how it's anything but a good thing.

Yeah, missed the in-game pop-up warning me otherwise. Energy spent because I don’t want to lose out on energy gains today.
And why am I not surprised that you think that is ok for them to push energy packs before the event is available to most, while being available to some.

They clearly made a mistake here and had to walk it back. I do think they should have put some kind of announcement on the forums about it and I'm not sure why they didn't.
Sorry that you bought the energy pack without knowing that the event wasn't active. That's a mistake I could have made too - but there's nothing currently in the game to lead anyone to believe that the event IS active.
Normally there would be indicators here if there were bonus drops. Also the nodes themselves would be glowing gold.
If you were BRAND NEW to the game and never saw a bonus drop event before, I could see how you wouldn't notice - but I don't think you're that new. CG should have announced it here on the forums after they changed it - but at the end of the day it's on you to make sure you're getting what you think you're getting, right?
I sympathize - same thing could have happened to me - but I wouldn't be expecting compensation for my own oversight.
