Next week I think

Jawarrior2001

Sometime this week apparently. though after this new fiasco I am not sure, even if it is a Sunday, the fact that these guys are picking and choosing what they reply to doesn't fill me with confidence they will stick to it

Ress

Thank you everyone!

IOSJasoN

No problem :-)

Does it even matter? The compensation package is pretty insulting imo.

Ress

There is a huge sense of entitlement in this community. League of legends has so many down times for ranked, people lose their ratings because of that, and there's never a compensation. And for a game that allows you to be f2p and still manage to compete with most pay2win players, we could give kabam a break every once in a while.

Except league of legends isn't on mobile phones so take that somewhere else

Its a game in which you have to coordinate yourself in a live game with 4 other players, and Riot can screw that up and make you lose your rating, how is that different? Do we deserve more rewards for playing this game on a phone?

People don't have to buy energy and boosts in LOL, they don't have crunch timed events that almost require you to play AND pay every waking moment to rank. They don't expect you to spend $500 on packs released to stay current and they don't throw their hands in the air and say "not our fault" every time they make a mistake.

Thankfully there are people like Brian Grant who proved that you dotn need to spend $500 to stay current.
As for the ''buying boosts'' they said they will refund the resources used. Thats what i said, they take responsability for their screw ups, but people still get greedy.

I don't really care about the compensation either way... I think it could have been much better, everything considered, but I'm not up in arms about it. But, I just wanted to point put that they* ARE NOT refunding or reimbursing items like boosts used(wasted) by the downtime

Youre right, my bad, they will only be reimbursing the cost of the map

Compensation for Recent Downtimes
Kabam LyraKabam Lyra
July 6 edited July 6 in News & Announcements
Summoners,

Thanks for being so patient with us on this matter. As you all know, when we experienced an extended downtime on June 29th/30th, many different Summoners were affected in a variety of ways. After meeting to discuss the impact this downtime had on you all, our team has come up with a plan for how we can resolve this issue.

Remember, when we come up with a plan to compensate for downtimes such as this, our goal is to make it right for all Summoners affected, so our resolutions will directly address the modes, and what was missed out on during this time.

Goldmember Arena:
The Goldmember Arena will be rerun from July 12th at 10 am PDT until July 15th 10 am PDT. If you were active in the Arena during the first run, you will automatically be granted access with no need to use another Ticket. This Arena will only be available to players that were active in the original Arena, as those who did not enter were not affected by the downtime. Additionally, the Top 200 Summoners from the previous arena will not be given access to this second run, as they have already won. This means a new group of 200 Summoners will be able to earn a 5-Star Goldpool and the rare title Gold Member.

Ant-Man and M.O.D.O.K. Arenas:
While we don’t have dates for these yet, we will be re-scheduling them for a second Arena run in the future, in lieu of a non-Featured Champion, and a non-first run Basic Champion. This means they will not run again at the same time, but we want to ensure that we are not placing Ant-Man in the place of a Featured Champion (delaying our scheduled releases), and not placing M.O.D.O.K. in the place of another Champion that is making their first Basic Champion appearance.

Alliance Quests:
First, we will be refunding any resource costs from Maps that were interrupted by the outage directly back to your Alliance Treasuries. Secondly, because this interruption made it more difficult for Summoners to complete the Map they had started, or could have prevented them from starting a new Map until after the outage all together, we will be awarding all affected Alliances 3 of the Map Crystals for the first Map of this series that they attempted.

Micro-Realms:
While not related to the outage on June 29th, a separate outage on July 3rd occurred shortly after the release of 19.0. This may have caused Summoners who had started a Micro-Realm Quest before the outage to lose their run in the Realm. We will be returning the Pym Particle Disk that you used to enter these Quests to you, so that you may have another attempt at running the Micro-Realm if you were unable to complete it.

Additionally:
Because there were also other modes that are harder to measure affected by this outage (Event Quests, Mercenary Missions, Assassin Assignments), we’ll also be awarding all Summoners that joined the game prior to the outage 3 Energy Refills, 50,000 Gold, and 1500 5-Star Hero Shards. We hope to have the Alliance Quest Map Crystals and additional Items out to you all by early next week, and to have the Pym Particle Disks out to you by EOD, July 6th.

Thank you all once again for your patience as we worked to resolve this issue for you.

They're giving us Map Crystals, though.

My compensation was getting time away from the game to do something meaningful with my life.

So I watched Transformers: Dark Of The Moon because I'm an idiot.

GroundedWisdom

3x the amount we could have earned, to be exact.

Wow cheating on the franchise, shame on you! ( <---defending marvel as a dc fan )

Oroku_Saki

Hey, Transformers had an awesome Marvel comic... and they have a Kabam game, which did give out compensation the day after the server outage *cough*.

rwhack

It’s the weekend. The major decision makers have to be out. There are significant issues to address. I suspect they want to address it with all that in mind.

Vivek_786

Hey all I think we all received compensation long back .we got 2* antman as compensation.As the antman and wasp movie they have ability to shrink in exact way compensation shrinks to 2* antman

You already tried that line in another Thread. Your exhaustive efforts to get my goat are pretty apparent.

I agree with entitlement stuff as half of them community really behave on forum like that
But,
League of legend
Or whatever game you may know
I dont play any and know many many veteran myself included who dont play any other mobile game except this because we'v been here in mcoc since beta 2014 or early 2015
And let me tell you that kabapm's response particularly recently or in 2018 starting has not been good at all
They are still being cringy about compansating what is due.
There greed has never been more then now believe me on that
When they launched 5* that was the time when all of the 4* shards rewards were installed everywhere including SA and 3day event
And even after 6 monthes of 6* launching they are cringy in giving 5*( i know about. 5* arena) but still
I would say
There pace of launching new content in the game has slowed down drastically and they want to find new ways to attack the players pocket.
P.s. yes im FTP and beaten LOL or everything.

Prof Hoff is great for this stuff as he grades the deals and tells you what to buy if it is worth it or not
