Hello, I spent a lot of crystals and refreshes on hard nodes prior to this update and don't remember any sort of notification that an increase from 5 to 8 would happen. I also did not receive this increase during the day. I'm sure I'm not the only one...Am I doing something wrong or can we correct this?

You can still do the extra 3 attempts. Check it.

A lot of players are in the same boat. Look at the bright side, you have 8 attempts from tomorrow onwards

I did the same thing. I spent a ton a crystals and then they update it halfway through the day. That is really dumb.

Yes, but today is double drop day and the amount of energy and crystals spent can't be recovered. For those that haven't spent refreshes that isn't fair. They should have started this as of the first full day for everyone IMO...

The hard node cap was increased after double drop ended on half the planet.

Just assume 8 attempts begin on May 5th, I've missed out a lot of extra attempts on double drops myself but its nothing to cry over since we are getting 8 attempts for the next 3 weeks

I am livid about this... being f2p and saving up crystals, dumped 10k today and am missing 15 battles on each of my 8 hard node farms is a slap in the face... literally could have almost doubled my shard drops for the same cost if I waited 6 hours... are you kidding me???
