Re: The Problem with The Compensation
GroundedWisdom I got a question for you. Why was the Zola compensation fine and everyone didn't deserve a 1 to 1 replacement but this is? You and DNA (to be fair more him than you) were strongly against it then, but this time around you're not?
Edit: you replied to the other guy right as I posted this but point still stands.
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
Well you are just looking at 1 perspective. You think all the people who are upset are bothered because they don't get a 2nd set of crystals to open. That is not the case. Matter of fact that is a very 1 dimension casual perspective. That perspective is perfectly fine for people who enjoying pulling a champ, it doesnt fit to someone who tries to acquire every sig stone available in game or by purchasing and feels cheated.
There is a huge difference between a player who buys out the weekly reset in BG store by buying 7* shards and one who buys generic sig stones don't you think?
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
A rush to engage with botched content is right… cause we literally just dealt with this again, this morning, literally one day after their LAST glitch/issue, with the first hour of the Deadpool side quest entries being bugged/flipped around, another exploit.
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
Why are you acting like you know how they are setup on the server?
You put a tag on update Basic 7* X and the search querie should be on point.
Maybe that's the problem, constant adding stuff into something that can be replaced instead.
Anyway it is not for you to know or come up with a plan or me, its actually their job to come up with a solution or at the very least making sure they are not creating the problem
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
Renaming a crystal after an update should make search queries a lot easier don't you think? The results would be easier to search.
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
this is the correct mindset, and if Kabam owned their mistake, they would put in the effort to get it done. There is no reason not to except they are lazy….and this method can’t be refuted. The apologists never argue against this solution though - only straw men about how crystals can’t be clawed back now (duh)
Re: A Clear Perspective on the Compensation
@ahmynuts - What other context do you feel is pertinent?

A Clear Perspective on the Compensation
Yes, I still gained value from those crystals, but the targeted reason for saving them was blocked. Kabam cannot roll back individual pulls, titan shards, sig levels, or roster changes without creating bigger problems, so the only workable fix was to add compensation on top.
That naturally puts early openers ahead. But it is important to understand this:
Players who waited are not behind. They are exactly where they would have been if the bug never happened.
They opened from the correct pool with the correct odds. Nothing was taken from them. The frustration some people feel is a normal emotional response, but it is not based on an actual disadvantage.
Why Kabam’s Choice Makes Sense:
Kabam had two options, and neither was perfect. Truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.
If they chose not to compensate early openers:
1. It would punish players who trusted the crystal update
2. It would teach everyone to avoid opening anything when updates go live
3. It would reinforce distrust in the game
If they compensated:
Early openers would end up ahead
But the message becomes:
If you act in good faith and something goes wrong, Kabam will make it right.
For a live service game, that is the healthier outcome. Trust needs to continue to be built.
The Bottom Line
1. Early openers were denied access to the new champions.
2. Kabam cannot reverse or selectively remove what was already pulled.
3. Adding compensation was the only viable fix.
4. Players who waited are in the same position they would have been in a bug-free world.
5. This decision supports long-term trust in the game and in future updates.
Given the choices available, Kabam chose the option that protects trust, stabilizes future crystal updates, and corrects the actual issue that occurred.
