Re: Zola Compensation

I've said as much elsewhere, may as well repeat it here.

This compensation package is, in a way, actually perfect. In a technical sense, it's quite literally the best and most direct compensation they could provide as it's overcorrecting and addressing the issue at hand. Zola wasn't in the crystal, people had a 0% chance of getting him; Kabam's response? Giving you Zola directly if you opt for it.

In that sense, the compensation is perfect - and I mean that genuinely.

In another sense, it's quite underwhelming and stops from being perfect because it appears to be limited to a single selector, regardless of how many crystals you opened or when you opened them.

As has been stated, in the past Kabam has issued a 1:1 compensation whenever incorrect crystals were purchased or when drop rates aren't what they have displayed. So … why is someone who opened twenty crystals getting the same as someone who opened one? Similarly, the petty part of me is wondering why people who opened crystals after they were corrected are getting compensated at all. They weren't affected.

I opened twelve Titans and a Nexus - had no desire for a Zola, technically I had better odds at getting the champion I did want and still failed. Is that the point? No. The point is that the crystals weren't as advertised - compensation should be 1:1.

Now, if Kabam were to offer this selector compensation as a 1:1? THAT would be amazing. If their thought or concern is "well we can't do that because it would effectively just be giving away a max sig Zola." … okay, but let's assume that the crystals WEREN'T broken. Then someone theoretically had a non-zero chance of getting a max sig Zola if they were to opening an equivalent number of crystals, correct?

Honest Opinion

Majority of the valiants are too weak to deal with the new tuned down difficulty EQ classic difficulty, not to mention elder difficulty

The previous valiant gauntlet was much easier to handle for new valiants and the rewards were amazing compared to what you are getting now based on the current difficulty even after tuned downwards by 20%

Zola Compensation

First, I appreciate that Kabam is offering a compensation and that they’re doing something for us that opened the faulty crystals.
Second, I don’t want this coming across as a whining post, or seeming to be greedy about ‘MOAR COMPENSATION!!!’
However
If I had opened 3+ crystals, not sure how I’d be feeling.
The compensation will not get anyone a chance to dupe Zola.
In the past with faulty crystals, Kabam has simply sent replacement crystals out at a 1 for 1 quantity. Not here.
If they had offered at a minimum a Zola AND a Titan, at least that’s rectified in the sense that you have a chance you didn’t have before to dupe Zola.
But no one does, and that’s the issue I have.
Anyway, that’s my two cents.

Lucky

I got lucky with one max sig crystal new I need an awakening gem to use.

Thronebreaker wasn't an issue for Valiants sure… but it is an issue for Thronebreakers.

You're on crack if you think a 1-2 gem and two common 7*'s are worth $100.

Re: Word of the Day: Blaze

One thing that stands out to me, apart from the compensation for the lack of rewards from so many paths cleared, is that it's not just an issue of redoing the paths - it's redoing them in time for the Titan compensation cutoff. Assuming you would have gotten enough Titan shards to open a Titan crystal before the cutoff, that bug essentially cost you a guaranteed Zola/an additional Titan crystal. That's a lot of rewards to miss out on due to a bug, and a couple of revives and potions and a single energy refill seems quite the paltry poultice for it. At the very least, tossing in enough energy refills to actually redo the paths should have been the least they could do.

Especially since the current energy situation is what it is.

I'm always so surprised when Kabam support drops the ball, because I tend to have very positive experiences with them. I was speaking to them over the weekend regarding an issue that was 100% my own dumb fault, but they went above and beyond to help out. So, knowing what generosity they are capable of, it's frustrating to see them mishandle situations where they/the game is actual at fault.
