Hey there everyone, apologies for any confusion. We've let the rest of the team know about this and are looking into it.
@Kabam Miike , see below video for pretty much all the evidence you'll need. Shows my Sym is rank 5, and there is still plenty of time left in the event. Check the game logs, and you'll see my Sym was full strength fighting Medusa, then totally useless when I engaged Karnak.
Today, I paid 2 unit recharges, 22€ aprox., just to have enough to buy energy and resurrectors to end exploration of SYMBIONTE mission highest difficulty and earn my featured 5 stars crystal.
Well... only 1, JUST 1 LAST WALK through last final path to finish and then my symbionte was DOWNGRADED to minimum: start combat, try to block: die... resurrector: the same... resurrector: the same... 80 units spent..... restarted game. WTF?
And then discovered my symbionte WAS DOWNGRADED to minimum just 20 minutes before mission end. Have a look at screenshots. I could not believe it!
I was paying money just to explore mission and obtain my featured 5* crystal, and I was on time... only last path pending... but KABAM did it impossible to me, IN SPITE of having enough time, energy and resources to do it.
I consider this is far away from fair. If I new Kabam were disabling symbionte just 20 minutes before ending mission, BE SURE I DO NOT PAY 22€ TO GET ENERGY AND UNITS.
Please, consider this fact...
I feel terrible about this. So disgusting... you could check, also give screenshots... also video: https://youtu.be/tlaokpV15b8
Did contact Kabam support to find any kind of solution, just because I feel like a nerd right now... it is not fair at all.
I don’t appreciate you nerfing him mid aq lol. Wish we got some warning that he would get reverted to r1 stats before we get the chance to sell him. I brought him into aq as a 10000 pi champ and now he’s 100 lol.
Not that he would drop in rank mid quest before the event ended. I finished Sym difficulty the day it came out so no impact on me at all. But people finish at the last minute for lots of reasons. Building resources over the course of the event, needing to be gifted revives as they're completing etc. There's no way you can spin this as being right.
Technically, they said November 7th. No time was given. I have no idea why it came early. Could be the Update. Could be embedded when they pushed the new Quest to go live. Either way, it's never good to wait until the last minute for anything.
They told us he would be able to get sold. I’m not aware of anywhere that they said he would get nerfed before hand
Thanks I skimmed over that part I guess lol
They downgraded symbionte 20 minutes before, just at 09:40 am PST (18:40 pm CEST): 20 minutes before supermission ends.
Ya my post got merged into this one and I am now aware of that. I agree that you guys should have been given that 20 min. Why his rank down and the end of the event aren’t at least at the same makes no sense.
You should never wait to the last minute, but that doesn’t excuse the fact you should still be allowed to do so.
Hey there everyone, apologies for any confusion. We've let the rest of the team know about this and are looking into it.
Please, consider also people paying at Play Store to get units for energy as my case... 22€ paid just to finish exploration and got cheated just 1 last path away from ending... You can see my video/screenshots... Feel really bad about this.
haha, you waited till the last moment to complete a quest that ran for more than 17 days.
Honestly, no sympathy mate, plan better next time.
do you consider 20 minutes to explore 1 last path is the "last moment"? If mission ends at certain time, it ends at certain time. DOT.
Its possibly a bug but then again, who's to say that you or anyone else can actually complete the whole path in under 20 minutes?
They should give everyone the 20 minutes and lets see how many are able to do it, sadly, they'll give some compensation and we'll never know.
Also, you could lose your internet connection, kabam servers could go down, your phone could fall and break and many other things could've happened. Leaving something till last moment still sounds like a bad idea.
If you get to the airport about 30 minutes before departure, do you expect to catch the flight?
if train leaves at 10am PEST, nobody should tell you may have taken 1 week before. It leaves at 10am PEST. Dot.
if you have 20 minutes to explore final path, those 20 minutes are yours... you can manage your time like you wish, don't you?
But if symbionte is supposed to be downgraded at 10am PEST, it SHOULD not be downgraded at 09:40am PEST, I guess... do you?
Regards.
The time is yours, but the game is not.
The train has a date and a time and yes you can take it one week before if you have the ticket.
I agree, they should give you 20 minutes, but not compensation, then again you'll ask a specific time that they give you 20 minutes, RIGHT?
Things happen, I get it you're upset, but do you really think that you've no fault here?

how old are you boy?
I HAD NO FAULT. I had 20 minutes stolen. Well.... I should be pleased if they just give me those 20 minutes to explore last path and just get my featured 5 stars I have paid units for. Happy? Stop there, please.

Hey there little man. I found out someone who can cry together with you, your little symbiote.
The in-game announcement said the symbioid would be ranked down AFTER the event, which ended at 10am PST. Doesn't matter if you finished the quest the first day it came out or if you waited until the last hour on the last day it was available.
If you're of the opinion that people waited too long to complete, that's fine, your are entitled to your opinion. However, your opinion does not change the information announced via the in-game message. Your arguments are null.
-This change had no effect on me personally but as someone who doesn't have all the time in the world to play the game, I too in the past have finished events shortly before they expired.
he only gets nerfed once you update the app so probably should have waited until after the quest ended and/or you alliance cleared AQ bg before updating
