Paid for G12+ Injector Packs months ago - G12 now, and nothing- Refund please!

     Hello. Several months ago - I'm going to say four, although I could pull up the Google Play receipts from my e-mail archives, if it would help. My primary team is First Order, which I had decided on pretty early. Well, about 4 months ago, I saw items in the store called G12+ Injector Packs. They cost $20 (plus tax, obviously), and I bought several of them for two reasons - in the short term, they offered a decent amount of character shards (there was one pack for each character), and in the long term, they had character unique g12 injectors, which were advertised to be a prebuilt version of that character's unique weapon. I am referring, of course, to the weapon you have to build for every gear level 12 character in their bottom right gear slot that takes 50 of one of the three injector types (I can't remember all the names off the top of my head, but there's one for lightsabers, one for blasters, and a third one). I know I bought the injector pack for the Sith Trooper, the Imperial Executor, and Captain Phasma. Well, my Imperial Executor got to gear level 12 recently and - nothing. No injector to use, no ready made weapon, no parts to build the weapon. Nada.

     

     So in essence, I paid $20 3 (or 4 times - I may have gotten one for unmasked Kylo Ren as well) just to get 20 character shards each time, which, as you can obviously tell by looking at the price of other character packs, is clearly a huge rip-off. Also, once I noticed that there was no injector or weapon available to my character once he reached gear level 12, I checked, and there are no longer injector packs available, for any heroes at all - period. I can only assume that either A) The fully built weapon on top of the character shards seemed too cheap for $20, or B) There was some kind of glitch, like what I'm experiencing, and so they were simply pulled from the store. Whatever the case, I was essentially ripped off; clearly the majority of the cost of those packs was based on the idea of having an injector you could use to make a pre-built weapon for the specific character that you bought it for. So, I spent $60-80 on a measly handful of shards . I would be happy to be refunded $60 worth of gems; obviously, I would prefer Google Play credit, but since I could potentially spend that on another app (although I wouldn't, since this is really the only game I play), I don't expect actual credit. But I feel that either $60 of gems, or, if possible, the components to build the weapons for unmasked Kylo Ren, Sith Trooper, and Imperial Executioner would also be satisfactory to me.

   

     My player ID/ally code is 694-897-547, my in-game name is Morgulon, and my EA Account name is Morgulon4283 If there is any other information I can provide to facilitate this process, please let me know and I will get back to you promptly. Also, if this is something that you would prefer to handle privately, please feel free to e-mail me at [edit: email address removed] - that is also the e-mail account that I used to sign up when I started playing, and to register for an account on this forum. Thank you, and I hope to hear back in a reasonable amount of time.

     Also, if this is the inappropriate place to post this, I would appreciate being directed to an EA employee who can help me get this issue resolved. Also, if that is indeed the case, I would really appreciate hearing if anybody else has any experience with injectors/injector packs, as the entirety of my guild and two bustling SWGOH discord rooms had no idea what I was talking about, to the point where they hadn't even heard of an injector pack. This is just a big deal to me, as I have very little money to spare on this game, and definitely can't afford to have it be wasted like this. Thanks to any and all who can help!

EDIT: After doing a forum-wide search for "injector," I did at least confirm that other people have gotten them, although they seem to be buggy, Example: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/All-Salvage-for-Power-Cell-Injector-Ionic-disappeared/m-p/9506413#M42521 Another example: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Resistance-Hero-s-Injector-bundles-error/m-p/8923840/highlight/true#M7888

     However, both of those people actually got something, at least - except for a few character shards, I ended up with nothing, and I bought more injector packages than any of those people.

  • Success! I found my archived e-mails showing that I bought the bundles; they were, in fact, $30 plus tax, and I bought three in total.

    I have those two e-mails from Google Play saved in my archive, and would be more than happy to forward them to an appropriate customer service employee. On May 26, I bought the Captain Phasma Injector Bundle, and on July 10fh - which is also the day I bought my Hyperdrive Bundle, a Galactic Upgrade Kit II, a Galactic Upgrade Kit III, and an Ace of the Republic Bundle (which all worked out fine - it's only these injector bundles that seem to cause issues, which is, I'm assuming, why they are no longer available) - I also bought the Injector Bundle's for Sith Trooper and Imperial Executioner. I received the small amount of character shards from each bundle, I remember that quite clearly. But I also quite clearly have not received any of those three injector packs. In all honesty, I don't know if I got them at the time - I was still a new enough player that I wasn't even 100% sure what they were, except that they would power me up further down the line and so they sounded like a good idea. If you include all my purchases, I've spent over $250 on your game, so I really don't think it's asking too much that I be compensated for the valuable part of the $90 I spent on those three injector packs. I will have the e-mails from Google Play ready to forward as proof if needed, and expect a timely reply at this point. And yes, I tried clicking the "Complete Purchase" button, several times. So as a paying customer, who intends to pay more in the future to support what I think is a great game (assuming this is taken care of anyway), I expect I'll be hearing from a staff member who is capable of helping me, or at least answering my questions and telling me what the next step is, in fairly short order. Thank you for your time - I know this is a lot of text, but it was a complicated and confusing problem, and I just now had managed to dig up my e-mail purchase receipts.

    @Morgulon4283 The bundles do not provide a fully crafted injector/G12 finisher. They provide the components to craft one. There is a difference here, as it is possible to use the resources from the pack in another character.

    Are you sure you haven't used that salvage to craft finishers for other characters?

    Edit: just saw you have no G13 characters. The thing to check is the finisher for Executioner. What parts are missing? If you have the "injector X salvage" then you received the pieces, but have used either the Droid Caller Salvage (common piece required at gear 8-11) or the Kyrotech salvage.

         Yes, I am 100% sure - I just got my first two characters to G12, one of them happened to be the Imperial Executioner I'd bought an injector for, and his weapon slot was completely empty. I had maybe seven shards towards getting his weapon. You would think that with the resources to build Captain Phasma, Sith Trooper, and Imperial Executioner's weapon that I'd have something, right? That's why I know there's an issue - I haven't even gotten anyone to G13, so no salvage, and I just reached G12, no weapon parts available.

         In response to your question, not really. And even if I had used all that up, where's the Injector shards th :emselves, the hardest part of a weapon to come by? Believe me man - I've been going over this for  over a week before I said anything, and I asked literally everybody I play with and a whole bunch of other people who play (just not with me); the weird thing was, none of them had even HEARD of the injector sets that were for sale up until recently.

        I am quite certain something went awry, as I definitely recall getting the character shards and the small amount of gems and money that came with each of the three sets. I just double checked to be sure, and not only have I used very little of the gear that you mentioned, I had to farm it all myself - also, to get First Order Executioner and Kylo Ren (unmasked) to G12 requires just two yellow pieces of equipment, which, again, I farmed myself. I think something glitched when I got kicked from my old guild, perhaps? I really don't know why this happened - I just know, with absolute, 100% certainty, that I don't have those weapon components. And, unfortunately, I had no way to check if I had them until I needed them, since it was at least a few months before I was to the point where I actually needed equipment of that level. I do appreciate your attempt to help, don't get me wrong - I just really need to get in touch with an employee or somebody who works for EA or the other company (name is eluding me at the moment) so that I can show them the e-mail proving my purchases were made; then they can see in my account quite clearly that I don't have the items - I actually have screenshots proving this - and then, hopefully, some kind of compensation will be provided. I just can't afford to basically blow 90 bucks like that, and it makes me extremely leery of spending money on this game again. I spent literally thousands on Star Trek - Fleet Command (had a bit of a problem, lol) and not once did I ever have an issue - just click, pay, get rewards, rewards sit there until you use them.. *sigh* I should've just said something when I first noticed a week or two ago, but the fact is I really have no idea how long all those components have been missing :/

  • This was my First Order team on October 4th, right after I hit G12 with Kylo and the Executioner. I didn't take pictures of their equipment because I didn't predict this situation, so that had darn well better not be an issue. My proof of payment, along with an examination of my account, should count for at least some kind of restitution, shouldn't it?

    @Morgulon4283 It's normally Customer Service that deals with these requests, which can be reached through the in-game settings menu using the "Help" button. Choose "missing content" from the drop down menu. I'm also tagging one of the community team here to see if they can have a look @EA_UltraSlide

    *deep breath* Okay, I'll give that a try - it certainly can't hurt! In the interim, thanks loads for sticking with me long enough to give me a couple possible answers, and for paging somebody 🙂 I'm just not sure that I can convey my problem in a sufficiently concise matter to fit into an automated reporting mechanism like that, which is why I gave making an account on the Forum a try. But like I said, it can't hurt.

         Okay - wow - this is all because I am frigging *! I was absolutely, 100% certain I had gotten one for the First Order Executioner, not General Hux - thank you so so much for figuring that out for me, seriously! And sorry about the mountain of text for what turned out to be a tiny little misunderstanding/misremembering on my part. Thanks a lot guys! Now, I just gotta get Hux and the Trooper up to G12, hah!

         Looking back, this was before I got much advice, and I was playing around with using either Hux or Phasma as my leader, instead of going with Kylo Ren (unmasked), booting Phasma altogether, and adding the First Order Executioner, Sith Trooper, and regular Kylo Ren.

         Again, huge apologies on my part for wasting so much of your time and getting a bit snippy/huffy over a non-existent problem. I will remember the quick responses and the lack of any actual problem the next time I think I'm having an issue 🙂
