While the messaging re the start of the BH bonus drops was messed up, it’s not the end of the world. This is a great game. It’s easy to get caught up in momentary frustration, but we all make mistakes. While some of the stuff CG does is cash-grabby, they don’t hide the ball, and I don’t think for a second there was anything nefarious going on with this miscommunication.I understand people want recompense if they used crystals to refresh energy based on the erroneous communication. Personally I used energy thinking it was live, but I used it in a place I would have used it regardless. So there were no bonus drops when I thought there were going to be some. I’ll live. I hate to see people so angry that the game is no longer fun for them. CG has been better than most hosts at comp’ing players when something goes wrong on their end.Let’s have fun. It’s the weekend, and OT Chewie is inbound!

I looked in the corner where events are and saw no ! Stating event was live and did not see the table lit in bright gold, signifying event was live. I spent my normal refresh on Bastila and confirmed no event. It’s bad messaging. CG has stated in the dev posts about it. No loss.

Those that have been playing more then a few months should know by now when bonus drops are available. There is always an icon indicating bonus drops and they are in a different color. If you spent your crystals on refreshes expecting bonus drops then that is on you. That is how I look at it.

There is no excuse for a company to have consistently poor communication with its customers. These actions are nothing more than predatory cash grabs and they deserve all the backlash that they get from their failure to communicate.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME. Hard lesson for newer players to learn for sure. Vet players should have known better. I would also suggest for future bonus drop events for the devs to include a picture of what the bonus event table looks like with the in game announcement. How many people playing the game do not come to these forums at all or until there is a problem. I plan on posting a PSA for the next event like this with a picture of the table(unless CG does it for me) but that won't reach all the players like an in game mail would.

Put down the pitch forks, its an simple mistake. Funny how people quickly change their opinion, yesterday CG was the best thing with all the Jango rewards.

It's always funny to read gaming forums, people seem so miserable yet they continue to play and spend.

I've played games that make CGs communication look top notch. Yeah, they botched it, but it's not like it wasn't readily apparent

They royally messed up with this after unanimous praise for the Jango event. CG is there own villain in this situation. They deserved the praise a couple of days ago and they deserve the criticism today

If anyone wants to see a real shameless phone game cash grab and worse communication look no further than marvel strike force. I think they do a good job here all things considered
