It’s a big part of the frustration. If you opened up all of your crystals when the Titan rolled over to the new champ pool, you were opening a crystal that had inferior champs in it. Instead of just compensating this group, they extended the compensation to everyone after who opened up a Titan after Zola was added back into the pool. The explanation from @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex in his compensation post is to extend it to everyone even if you weren’t affected by having to open a worse crystal. It just shorts those of us who did open all of their Titans with no chance of potentially acquiring Zola.

In the past, they have set precedent that if you weren’t affected by Kabam’s errors you received no benefit. Everyone remembers when they opened Nightmare Raids and it was bugged and so they shut it all down and gave full map rewards plus refunded all the Raid tickets to anyone affected. Anyone who played regular Raids or who hadn’t joined the bugged Nightmare Raids yet before they closed them was left shafted.

That smaller group of people who jumped into the Nightmare Raids that Kabam screwed up received justifiable compensation. No one else did. Now those of us who opened an inferior Titan crystal are given the same rewards as those who opened a better crystal. Just very inconsistent way to deal with things by Kabam.

All that is well and good, but then why extend it? By extending it you are giving someone the option of opening one titan and getting whoever that champ is (could be Zola) and a guaranteed Zola. As someone who was trying to get him (I would take him even if given the option of a Nexus), who wouldn’t want those odds. So at the baseline, people that were affected are getting less than the people that were not affected.

arcade you just parry and then heavy. I actually took arcade out of my deck around 15 mins ago because he’s not that difficult on defense

It's not a delay, that's why I used the word normally, because it is as predictable as new content drop times

Kabam cannot reset time and undo the past. Statistically speaking, your expected rate of return on opening five Titan crystals was 5/18 of a Zola. This rounds to zero. Giving everyone a selector means first, everyone will be getting more Titan "drops" than they otherwise would have had, and for those that were explicitly aiming at Zola they are probably getting more of him than they otherwise would have. Only the players who opened more than 18 Titans are getting statistically fewer Titans, and only players who opened 27 or more Titans are getting statistically fewer than the rounded expected rate of return. This is a marginally tiny number of players, and I would hazard a guess that most of them aren't hurting for ways to acquire Zola.

In your case, the odds of pulling even a single Zola were just 25%. There was a three in four chance you would have gotten no Zolas. The odds of pulling two or more are about 3%. So the odds that you could have done better than the selector are about 33 to 1 against.

So except for the rare lunatic who was planning to open a thousand Titans hoping to walk away with a max sig Zola at the end of the day, pretty much everyone is getting more than what they were statistically likely to get. Sure, there are rare people who would have ended up with more Zolas, but just because such people statistically exist, doesn't mean they are even the right people to benefit. It is entirely possible and probable that lots of people would have gotten Zola dups that were not even looking for or wanting that champ, and conversely lots of people wanting to get and dup him could have still failed to do so.

The idea that everyone had different expectations, so we should just ask everyone precisely what they were hoping to get, and then giving it to them because hey, it could have happened, is asking for the ridiculous.

They always drop on friday around reset what are you talking about

BG rewards normally drop in about 3.5 hours from now, try some patience

So pretend they didn't extend it.... You are not spending anyway. I don't understand how this affects you. You are not getting something that you weren't getting anyway....

This is a rather stupid reply honestly.

You are saying that it would have been better if Kabam didn't tell everyone the free points wouldn't continue to count. That way, when people realized that they weren't counting they could get mad about it because it looked broken?

The t7b was never meant to be available for free from points. It isn't like they suddenly took something away that we were going to get. The free item was the first item, nothing changed.

I am happy Kabam actually was proactive in the information on this instead of reactively responding when issues came up because people realized the points weren't adding up.

I can just imagine McDonald's selling me five cheeseburgers, but I receive five hamburgers. Then they say, "Please take this single cheeseburger as compensation."

No, they wouldn't — they would provide me with the correct order as displayed.

Well that's my take on this 🤣

I'm not saying we should be provided like for like but a selector of sorts should be issued to those who opened in the first couple of hours.
