GAC “Make good” lol

Well actually we did not miss any reward from cancelled GAC as the restarted the missing two events. In fact we got additional reward from round 1 of the cancelled event. There just is a delay in WHEN we get our reward. So people who would be promoted had some days with fewer daily crystals whereas people close to demotion benefitted from still getting more crystals.

The only damage is for those who would have needed these crystals for executor event, who now have to wait another month.

Be careful, bringing rational thought to this is a dangerous thing.

I've added some typos and grammar mistakes as a make good for rationality :-D

They have no way of knowing how we would have performed vs the opponents we would have faced, vs who we ended up battling this time around. Myself personally, in the round that was cancelled, there was nobody >9mil GP, matchmaking was very balanced. But once it got rescheduled, I had 3x >9mil GP. My results will definitely be different. the proper thing to have done was to give crystals for two wins, round rewards for 2 wins (plus whatever you did in match 1) AND THEN the make good. But no, another big, fat dirty sanchez from CG.

One guy just beat a 6 GL owner with 3 GLs

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/253846/uninstall-the-game-if-you-cant-accept-defeat-gac#latest

I am sure the 6 GL owner was on this forum complaining that he would've won his next round given he was the only 6 GL owner and everyone else had a 3 GL

but that's not how it works at all, it might seem like you have an advantage or disadvantage but when the battle starts, skill and strategy might surprise you at times

This is kind of irrelevant. There are always anomalies. There are always exceptions to the rule. There always that really poor player, with whom no amount of GP would garner them a win.

It is not, however, the average story. The common experience.

Throwing out that “one time” answer creates a false narrative.

Some people would have won both matches which should equal to 1800 crystals. This is not a make good. In fact even if it was 1800 crystals it still would not have been a make good. Make good means more than expected. This was CGs fault as to why this even was canceled. The real issue is how many times CG messes up on their updates and when it’s time for them to tell us “sorry we will do better next time” it’s more of a slap in the face. Squad arena didn’t have any issues and was a more reliable way to earn crystals. Now we never know if we are going to get crystals every week or not. They need to test their updates before releasing them. Lots of other companies do very well with updates having very very minor bugs.

Time in the game always has equated to an offset of cost. You either spend to speed up time or don’t. Any delays or cancellation in a game mode has a cost.

So you potentially lost 2 rounds of victory, in exchange you get 3 new rounds with new opponents. Let's assume you lose all three of them, giving you 3*200 = 600 crystals. Plus 1000 for compensation make 1600 crystals. On the other hand without cancellin gthe previous event, you would have had two victories, rewarding 2*825 = 1650 crystals.

So yea, the make good gives those players, who would have won and now lose everything, deny 50 crystals, all other players will get more than they missed out. But in addition you get a lot of GAC currency.

Can i have some examples? All games i (or my friends) play the specific forums always say they are the worst in support, compensation, updates, etc...curious on what good examples you are referring to... (BTW...from the ones i know PERSONALLY, SWOGH is actually one of the "less bad"...not to say "best" as it seems to be against the "rules")

I will give you good example:
This is how this game is slowly falling down

What a greed decision.
People from kyber 1 (for example) were possible to get 2x900 + 500 = 2300 (minimum) plus materials for mods and gear.
But no one wants to count the difference between divisions.
Only 1000 for all.
No words.

My two cents: this is a pretty reasonable make-good. Important to remember that nothing was cancelled, it was delayed. This delay was impactful for some players and irrelevant for others. Since CG can’t know how it impacted each specific player, 1000 crystals and 1000 GAC bucks seems reasonable. I understand that the timing impacted some players wrt the Executor event. But worth considering Exec shards can be purchased with the extra crystals.
