“Official response” wasn’t necessarily an official announcement, just that Rex came on and said they know about it, and is a “Visual Bug” (the exact words he used).

“Visual” meaning the shards/cats/whatever, are still in your account, they have not been taken away (it's just failing to show them in these pop-up looks). And a bug, in that it was NOT intentional.

Annoying for most things. But YES, Very Extra Problematic (!!!) for these PLAT POOL selecting cases, where you need to see which pieces you don’t have yet.

My recommendation for everyone affected would be to submit a support ticket. Yes, not ideal, especially with maybe how many people have ending up making the wrong selection. But don't think Kabam can just “automatically REVERT” every person's choices on all these PlatPool selections back to an account state as you were PRIOR to making that choice. They may need to do this on case by case basic (again, not ideal, but ???)

(*unless Kabam has a better remedy besides submitting support tickets ??)

more ai slop

I got my first rank 5 today after buying the door buster deal. I will be getting my second and third one next week from the Carina's challenge and 9.4 exploration. Fully F2P, only got the t5a drop twice during banquet.

As an F2P, this is a great event because I get Torch for free, which people spent like a thousand dollars to buy less than a year ago. Also, there is no amazing deal even if someone maxes out the webstore, so again good for F2Ps.

On the other side of the coin, I'm not sure I really understand what Kabam is doing. Like none of the spenders who are my friends are even talking about this event. Last year they got Red Guardian, this year, they can spend hundreds of dollars and end up with an ascended Patriot or some other undesirable champion. Last year also there were multiple Rank 4s for purchase, this year I believe purchasing everything gives you one Rank 5, despite the fact that we will be getting two free Rank 5s next week from Carrinas and Act 9.

Again, this is all positive news for F2Ps I believe, but I am puzzled and slightly worried about the game's survivability since Kabam seems to be staking everything on ascension with mediocre champions and the community I listen to seems to have no interest in it.

I'll have 3 R5's as soon as I finish this month's EQ and Solo Coliseum.
