A lot of people wasted time, effort, and money on an event that started last week and was canceled. Compensation is a good way to help smooth over negative situations.

Sometimes it’s not about what we would have earned or them giving us a second go at it. Sometimes it’s about saving face and acknowledging your mistakes and doing something good for your customer base to turn a negative into a positive.

Real leaders know this. CG has a lack of leadership and it shows with each announcement/event/release. Which is why this will not happen.

And sometimes, selfish demands are greedy and unreasonable.

They need to solve this quickly on Monday:

1. Announce it’s fixed and starting again same day
2. Announce all participants are being given 1st place rewards (Those who already got some of the new currency have that removed)
3. Announce all participants are given winning rewards for each round
4. Announce all participants are given all first place event and round rewards for all GAs that were not ran in June due to this event
5. Reset all ranks
6. Reset all achievements tied to this event
8. Do all of this while being open and transparent to alleviate concerns and help calm some people down.


However in the real world they’ll probably just lower drop rate percentages and give us double-drops again to burn crystals on.

You're saying you deserve automatic max rewards for an event that's being delayed a couple days?

Yeah, there ain't gonna be any pleasing you.

Come on man. It was an exhibition for working out the kinks. The forum begs for info. Is given early access as a way of seeing new content early, and then is up in arms because it isn't perfect? Even when we all new it wasn't (that is if you follow CG leadership where they said, again, it was an exhibition to ensure the ducks erre in a row).

Come on man...

Yes. We also read the dev posts. Try it.

I was so ready for that grand arena championship! The boring part (registering, setting defenses) was done and it was going to be great.... kaboom ! major bug.

There’s something wrong with your QA department CG. Even if it was a “preview”, you don’t ship alpha or untested code to all your customers (or you pay us). If it isn’t ready, don’t deploy. As a software developer, I am appalled that a bug like that made it to production. Shame ! Shame ! That GAC round could have been so cool, shame !

@CG, I've got an idea that might work for both of us:

Set a scheduled task to run every Monday morning and send to every player 1 zeta & 2 omegas. Why?

- You have already messed up something that we haven't discovered yet.
- You will mess up something in the near future.

This way you're covered on both scenarios and the forum drama would be greatly diminished. (would it though?!)

I doubt it would be. There would be people upset that we didn't get 2 zetas and a mk3 carbanti..

Oh look, a **** named after a transformers character that must be more intelligent than everyone else because he knows the origin of a very obscure reference to doctors’ descriptions of ****.

You sir are the definition of a “****-off”*

*20th and 21st century individuals use this to describe anyone trying to accentuate their knowledge of obscure topics or sayings from a time that no longer exists.

Starscream is the transformer you’re looking for. Joke was still funny nonetheless. Have a fantastic day!

His name was starscream at the time of my post, interesting that it changed.

Sorry, but it's always been Shadowscream.

That's the point, we werent given the chance to see the new content bc it was released not working. If there was just a minor issue or 2, sure ppl would still complain, it's the internet afterall, but most wouldve been ok since it was just an exhibition to work out the kinks, but its deplorable as a company to tout something as its crown jewel and central game mode not to at least give it a test run in house just to make sure the mode worked. That's why most are up in arms and if those defending cg dont understand that, that's just as bad.

Deleted - Posts I was responding to were removed.

Hello everyone, please remember to keep things constructive and on the topic. Also, calling out the devs is against the forums rules so let's work on keeping that out of the threads.

I have now reopened the thread. Please review our Posting Rules & Guidelines here:
