Hi !My guild played Geo TB and some of my guildmates successfully did the Wat Tambor mission during phase 3. Unfortunately we did not received the shards. The whole guild. During same phase, some did the acklay mission (south territory of 'phase 2') and we did not received the GET2 neither. During phase 4, we replayed the mid territory of phase 3 as we did not 1 star it at the first time. One other guildmate did the wat tambor mission, and, that time, at the end of the phase, we received 1 wat tambor shard, but still not the ones earned in the previous phase. I know #malakgate is one of the top bug right now, but please fix rewards of geo TB. We are not the only guild in this situation as help center has some thread about it too, with no answer.don't tell me about EA customer support. Each time i contact them, it's inefficient. they are polite but do not understand me. ok i've got a poor english but hey, when you talk about SWGOH and the guy replied with 'The simpsons : taped out', it's ridiculous.thanks for any help

A system to prevent guilds from only hitting the Wat special in p3, not earning a star in the zone so they could hit it again in p4, effectively double dipping on the shards. You cannot play twice the special mission. So you cannot have double drop on wat shards. We did the same strategy on the last 2 or 3 geo TB and we got the Wat Tambor shards. even if we did not 1 star the zone

To get rewards you have to Beat missionFile bug reportFollow up with eaSend more emailsFollow up againSend an emailCollect wat shards.

It is incomplete. There should be a wait 2-6 weeks in there. Don’t worry, eventually you’ll do like my guild has...be happy that you got 1 shard because they could have withheld that one too.

Well get ready for it to be archived and the OP sent to EA Answers....

Seems intended. Something about earning 2 special missions at once just doesn't seem right.

People are likely just playing the tb the wrong way trying to exploit reward structure. Seems like the devs put a fail safe in place to prevent people from taking advantage of rewards.

These cases are usually the fault of players for playing wrong.

Let me explain...
If you do 2 special missions in 1 day your messing up your whole guild so just tell all 50 people which mission to do and dont let anyone do the other one, make sure you get a star and u get rewards. Guilds poorly organized are penalized. It works... this is how players should be playing. Anything outside of this approved approach is likely viewed as trying to game the system by the devs, so they blocked rewards.

This has been reported a lot and I'm not sure that it has been confirmed as a bug so going with wai until I hear differently.

The OP has stated that they have used this approach without issue. So your explanation is built on pillars of sand.

No. OP did 2 at once and didnt star the area the first day.

No shards if u dont star seems like is what's happening. When they did star it they got shards, but o ly for what they completed in that phase, not the day before (since they didnt star) is what I'm saying.

Yeah, but if you read ALL the posts, he clarified that they have done this before and have received shards. This time they didn’t, which is new.

Possible they updated the coding recently to break it but didnt see anything about this in any recent patch notes...

I've seen several posts about not getting rewards when doing both specials, never seen a post showing people got both specials paid out.

So gonna have to go with OP mis-remembered it working properly last time, or maybe they got stars in both areas last time.

There are a lot of combinations possible here and identifying what exactly is causing CG to prevent the rewards from being distributed is going to be difficult without CG looking into it and troubleshooting this then communicating with players what is causing the no payout.

can verify - this happened exactly as OP stated. Last TB got half a dozen shards day 3 (just short of 1 star) and a few more shards again on day 4 (the people that didn't do it day 3).

This TB, at least a half dozen people completed event day 3 (just short of 1 star) and one member did event day 4. Only received the 4th day rewards (1 shard).

My guild did not get any Wat shards this past run and we expected quite a lot given that there were no requirements this run.

We earned a star in that territory and several people completed the wat tambor mission. No shards. Another middle finger from CG.

No wat shards or GET2 from acklay what gives????? When you complete it you earned it. That's the bottom line and we want what we earned.
