In all situations like this, Kabam reviews the impact that it has on players. This was a fairly significant downtime for limited time content, but also nothing significant enough to determine the content impossible to complete. As is noted above, losing an hour in AQ isn't a significant amount of time and is definitely not enough time to prevent players from completing it. There's a lesson to be learned about not waiting too long to hop in.
With that said, I don't think it's not deserving of compensation, because there definitely is the possibility that some alliances didn't finish because of the timing of the bug. But Kabam has to review the impact. If there's comp, I wouldn't expect anything more than a tiny bit of glory, a few raid tickets, and maybe some AQ energy refills for a rainy day or something. It's not going to be anything crazy because one hour is equal to less than 1% of the total AQ week.
Whatever happens happens, but your entitlement needs to take a breather either way.
It was only down for about an hour or so. If yall weren't already done or that far away with 15 min left yall probably weren't gonna finish anyways.
Lol, this is such an old argument here on the forums.. "Well, you should clear it earlier.." lol But my opinion has always been the same: The rules state you have a certain amount of time to complete it, some of that time was taken away due to an error on Kabam's part - thereby violating the terms under which the game mode functions.. yes, players should be compensated
The speed at which a battle group clears AQ has nothing to do with whether there was a game malfunction that violated the rules of the game mode and caused issues in some cases

For reference, my alliance did finish:)
I mean, who cares what Butthours thinks. I don't even think he's valiant yet, despite having played for 10 years. Talk about not finishing content...

Been valiant for over a year with 10+ r3s.....don't you dare compare me with peixie...lol
In the words of the great John cena what are we going to get what are we going to get you get nothing you get what you deserve and what you deserve is nothing
An hour out of the total time doesn't seem significant enough to warrant compensation.
This is such an old debate and I already commented on it lol.. it doesn't matter what your perspective is.. or mine (my alliance also finished AQ) And as I said, I'm commenting as someone who did finish AQ.. but I'm a rational person and I understand that Kabam (yes, unintentionally) broke the rules of the game mode (you have x amount of time to clear the quest) And the impact is going to be specific yes, but there was an impact and a consequence to *some* players due to an issue beyond their control - maybe someone was planning on finishing their assignment before work.. they log in and can't.. and now have to go to work.. as I said, it's a specific set of circumstances, but it doesn't make it ok for their alliance to miss rewards because of an issue on Kabam's end
Do I think the entire player base needs comp? No, just anyone that was affected, but often Kabam just releases a general comp because it's less work for them lol.. cool, whatever they wanna do

Lesgooo.....kompunsensation!!!!
It’s dumb to think putting it back up at last 15 minutes is same as it not going down.
20000 radiance compensation
Let's go !!! Kabam?
It was a mess up on Kabaam side.
Was it or was it not?
You break something, you compensate for it.
And as I said, I'm commenting as someone who did finish AQ.. but I'm a rational person and I understand that Kabam (yes, unintentionally) broke the rules of the game mode (you have x amount of time to clear the quest)
And the impact is going to be specific yes, but there was an impact and a consequence to *some* players due to an issue beyond their control - maybe someone was planning on finishing their assignment before work.. they log in and can't.. and now have to go to work.. as I said, it's a specific set of circumstances, but it doesn't make it ok for their alliance to miss rewards because of an issue on Kabam's end

We as players didn’t mess up, they messed up.
I think there definitely needs to be compensation.
