Feedback on the "compensation message"

Unless you guys really love doing damage control, you might want to be a little more careful on how you phrase your messages.

From the contents alone and from reading the announcement first I was immediately able to tell what that message is about, but from the way it was phrased I was immediately checking the forum to see some hilarious threads of people being outraged.

As I've said several times in the last days: a possibly huge amount of players does not check the forum.

Simply explaining what exactly this compensation was supposed to be for, you could have saved yourselves a lot of trouble.

I feel bad for the forum crew needing to clean up the mess of whoever was asked to write that message.

Tl:dr

Please improve your methods of conveying information, especially if the community is already on the edge. Makes you look really inconsiderate.

    Please tell me that wasn’t the compensation. I’m not even claiming that ****.

    They shouldn't have used the word compensation at all. This is just them returning any items that expired on the day of the outage.

    I’m still confused since the 5th villain special objective is not claimable but it didn’t go to the stash, so it didn’t expire but I still can’t claim it.
    Never mind got it

    Actually, I had to read it twice, and anything I have to read twice is too confusing to be sending out to general audiences.

    Clarity of communication is a perennial problem, and it is both trivial to fix, and apparently almost impossible to fix.

    if they had renamed the title from "Prize Compensation" to "Unclaimed Prizes" ...

    it would have solved a lot of issues I think :) hehe
