Cancelled war enlistment [Merged Threads]

Sure, from their perspective AT THE TIME, they would have believed that the matchmaking system was fixed, and it makes sense that they let the season proceed. However, this isn't really the point that @UmbertoDelRio is raising. You really don't need to be so keen the jump the gun on every opportunity to present a contrarian argument.
Regardless of you think, and what Kabam thought at the time, it's more than fair for players today to wonder aloud why the season STILL hasn't been cancelled or frozen, especially as it's quite clear now that the system is well and truly broken, and continuing to create more inter-alliance disparities that will become harder to quantify.
We already lost 2 places due other alliances getting a bye, after this war ends we will lose 1,4mill points. Our season is ruined, not sure what should we do for the remaining wars. We need a fix on this.
You're right, they WON'T do it, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't. After 5+ years playing I have rarely seen proper compensation.
If it makes a difference, they could "lock" the 6 star behind an uncollected title. Still give the shards, but don't let them access it until beating the Collector.
No one should be holding their breath here though for "good" compensation. I'd bet real $ on it being sub par as always.
They'll never be able to fully measure how this effected everyone, so they should just make a quick decision and hopefully err on the side of caution (aka be a little generous).
This past weekend is going to require level based compensation and also needs broken up to 3 tiers.
Tier 1: General overall game issues Compensation should include Units, potions, revives and energy refills.
Tier 2: AQ problems and those that missed out on finishing AQ. Compensation should be double AQ rewards for this week and maybe a few potions/revives. Thats fair IMO AQ wasn't impacted to beyond repairable.
Tier 3: Alliance War problems and unenlisted. This is by far the biggest issue and also the biggest compensation package. And I don't think this is a one-size fits all. They need to send one package for everyone, but those that lost a number of wars due to unelistment Needs to get another set on top of that.
After listening to Kabam Miike and others the last few days, they are very aware of the impact this has had. And Im sure they working on fixes before even discussing compensation. That being said I think it's good to keep discussing what we feel is good compensation. Let's hope that Kabam lives up to it. Very rare that they do, but anything is possible.
Likewise with compensation, it’s a digital item so costs them nothing to issue it. However they must take a view that it costs them sales revenue by “giving” stuff for free.
No doubt a major factor in the conversations at Kabam about what to do with war season and compensation is how much it’s going to “cost” them.
Previous history would suggest we should expect to be underwhelmed.
And while everyone was singing praises to kbm for their msgs (here in the forums) and carrying on in that chat thread - many of us were worried coz we could see a mile off that something could go very wrong - as it did.
1: Players who were in alliances that got multiple war cancellations.
2: Players switching alliances during these war cancellations in time for season rewards.
3: Players not in an alliance trying to join one in time for season rewards during war cancellations.
4: Players not in an alliance and not trying to join during war cancellations.
5: Players who matched regardless of the war cancellations.
It might be the case that the team would need to consider different compensation packages depending on which group players fall into. Players in categories 1, 2, and 5 could be compensated in the same fashion, whereas players in categories 3-4 would need “special treatment.”
Players in 1, 2, and 5 should be compensated at least with the tier above where they were before cancellations. Category 2 would be a special case of whether to reward the new alliances rewards or the previous. I’d opt towards the newer alliances rewards if in fact the player joined before the cutoff for the season.
Players in 3 and 4 would need something different as there’s really no great way to distinguish between the two. There’s not an easy solution, but these are at least the different categories of players that were affected from my perspective.
To be clear, I never said they did or didn't make it worse. Truth be told, any action may've had it's own fires, so they chose to not act to gain more data. The situation got worse due to unknown factors, and to find them, need AW to keep rolling. As such, why talk about what could've been done when it's already past due? Also, again, how can they address how they're going to handle this when they themselves haven't figured it out yet? Asking for information that's unavailable is gonna go nowhere fast.
Of course we all want answers. Of course this possibly could've been averted by a different course of action, but here we are. Need to work in the now. I do agree though, an in game notice would be a good course of action considering many are not forum members. Definitely would help in keeping everyone in the loop. As it stands, we just have to wait and see what the plan will be, and address any issues with it once we know what that plan is. Until then, everyone will just have to wait unfortunately. I don't like it anymore than you, or anyone else. Just accepting things as they are is all.
After
Seems fair right?
Need some resolution over this topic.
I have sent in 2 tickets and kabam has not responded.
We also missed out on another tier of aq rank rewards and one map completion rewards bc the game had a meltdown with 1 hour left in aq on day 1. That bg was fighting thanos and getting zero points for it. This will also knock us out of the rank rewards we were supposed to get.
