**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

The weekly alliance packages compensate for items which may be used due to the bugs, e.g. you die due to parry bug so here is a revive but did not compensate for the impact of dying in war as that impact is magnified in higher tiers due to the tight competitive nature. Boosts were a bonus. The shards stuff I guess compensates for those who ended up in a lower bracket than normal (even though counter argument is the conditions were same for all, the game team appreciates us playing while game isn't operating optimally).
Summary: I think monthly compensation is the way to go until game is operating without bugs, similar to the last package. Kabam could always add to the package that was sent out today so I'm hopeful.
What concerns me is how we've been repeatedly told, via in-game mail with compensation attached, to "be careful what content we choose to do". Now, it's a fair warning on its own, but not at ALL in conjunction with the continued seasons of AW and, more importantly, expiring content still being released. This is where things get frustrating for me.
If we're supposed to avoid tougher content, why am I being presented with the CQC challenge? Why are there a string of SQs coming up that I can safely assume won't be "easy" at all (particularly the one-time-only quest to earn 10k 6* shards and a 25% T5CC selector)?
How do you compensate for anyone who specifically avoids expiring content or AW seasons? It's certainly not by handing out items intended to use on said content, because then you're specifically being told to struggle with it or just lose out.
I'm sure Kabam is pondering this, and it's a tough question to answer. I imagine shutting down AW and expiring content would hurt the overall player base more than it would help, but at the same time, there's a significant portion of that base that would like to not be put into a corner with such things.
Those are the people I'm worried about for compensation. For myself, anything is fine, I've been fortunate to not be overly impacted by these issues. The AQ/AW packages go to waste though, as I'm sure they do for many others. But I won't complain on my behalf. It's players who have to depend on such things just to enjoy this game, they deserve better than what they've gotten so far.
There was no communication from Kabam that was to be given in this package.
