    Well I'm more than happy with the comp, give me the opportunity to run epic 4 more times which give me 14k 5* shards, and I did the tier 3 which gave a load of 4* shards and 2 legendary crystals and this is the result....



    Fury is now max sig and I've been hoarding a 15/16 3-4 gem for quake. Safe to say I'm more than happy

    Can i have one of those nick furys :(
    Honestly would if I could mate

    The only people that should be mad are the people that bought the deals. The way i put it is: imagine theres an event going on, you buy tickets, all of a sudden you get a free ticket, but you literally cant spend it (by this i mean you cant buy more rifts/ chronos) you basically wasted your money on nothing in a sense

    It would be amazing if that was really the case. They bought the deals and the little additional intel included was just a sweetener.

    For someone who argues otherwise, I am sure there are some, I can only admit there is a value for every small thing to some one.

    I bought the deals so I could run Rifts faster. I'm not bothered by it.

    Why would anyone disagree with the OC’s comment? We‘ve completed epic and now with four pops per move for 1k four star rewards... no thanks I’ll spend my time elsewhere

    Okay... now if you bought all the weekly packages for the intel to be able to purchase a chronometer.... and then 10k is given free.... I can see why some are upset. Wasn't there 3 packages available per day if you were cavalier?

    This is why I’m upset. I bought the daily deals every day for intel. Then we get 10,000 dropped on us. I would have waited to run my epics if I knew this was going to happe. I really needed a skill ag.

    Okay that doesnt mean everyone will get a 5* from the legendary crystals or even a legendary crystal to begin with . Something called rng.

    I bought 20 Detectors for Master. I used enough Energy to roll the Rift. Got 4 Legendaries. 20% chance at each. Odds are good.

    1. Did Kabam increased the price for those daily deals due to extra Intel? No.
    2. The free Intel is actually a compensation to those players who experienced bugs in Intel during the month.
    3. The logic just like some players bought tickets but they can't join and stay outside of the park. Instead of spending extra resources to identify which players are being affected, Kabam just gave all a free ticket. For those who is not affected by the bugs, what's the ground of complaint?
    4. Those victims of bugs issue only have 2 days to spent the Intel but you have entire month to play. Buddy.

    Please tell me how they were supposed to tell you in advance? Love to hear the logic behind your thought process.

    They knew there was a bug. They decided on compensation, but made sure they got the money and gave the intel the day the offers ended. Shady.

    Heres my view on it.....ive run all the epic rifts so i cant buy anymore. However i can now buy the chronometer and take an extra run and choose my reward as a completely unexpected bonus. I can also run the master rifts and pick up some smaller resources. Im the first to criticise Kabam when i see them do something wrong (which can be a lit) but i have to priase them when they do something right. To the people that are complaining......WE DIDNT THINK WE WERE GETTING ANYTHING!!! So we cant complain when we get something unexpected and useful. I guess you cant please some people. Just pulled a 5 star nova from the legendary crystal from the tier 3 rift that i wouldnt have had.

    Pls give us more Chronometer to use intels.
  • GiuliameijGiuliameij Member Posts: 1,849 ★★★★
    And there are always people who can find something negative in an otherwise great compensation.
    Even if you are an endgame player, t1a, t4cc, t4b are still worthwhile resources. Sure the master difficulty does not have everything that is of value, but you could say the same about 100 6* shards in epic.
    You got all this extra intel, that has cost you nothing. Go in, take the portal. If you like it, finish it. If you don't quit and try again.

    I’m an end game player and used all my epic rifts up, not to mention I purchased all the deals last week for the extra intel, and do a lower tier gives me nothing of valve, will you add that we can buy some extra rifts of even a few more chronometers that at least gives us a entry? If not this 10k is useless to me.

    for many of us it’s not all useless. Now I can buy all t4 rift because I also purchase t4 gate earlier.
  • Bidzy7Bidzy7 Member Posts: 369 ★★★
    Buy the t3 rifts and go in and see which path you end up on, if it has stuff you want or need then finish the path, if not then just exit and try again. That way you aren't wasting energy if you don't like the rewards you got.

    It happened yesterday after the Android update released. Then in the matter of hours we got comp. Mind blowing how you can assume this was planned somehow.

    Just buy tier 3 rifts. Start the rift if u dont like the reward exit and try again. I only 4 refills for all rifts and i got 3 5 stars and a ton of 4 stars from shard and legendary crystals

    So will there be a store in which we can buy items and like potions with intel, similar to the acorn stuff back in January? I wanna know whether to use all my intel or save it should there be another store @Kabam Miike @kabam whoever

    No there won't. The 10k Intel was not planned, 8t was compensation.

    I know it wasn't planned, just thought there might be a store. Anyway, I guess I'll just do the tier 3 rifts

    Some people will just complain about anything! I’m amazed from reading the various forum posts about this issue (but not surprised) at the attitude of many players about the compensation. Many don’t seem to know why we got 10k free intel and are moaning it has come too late... it was for a bug when new update was released and was all resolved within hours so not many were affected. It is not some shady cash grab to offer free gifts after people have spent for something but is Kabam doing a good move to fix their mistake.

    The main issue was intel seemed to have disappeared completely (any you had already and any you tried to gain from the 2 star event quest) and then some were buying rift entries and chronometers for free effectively - However they still had all the usual energy entry costs to run those rifts like everyone else. It was flagged on forums and promptly fixed. I was concerned to not update my game after reading about the issue (didn’t want to risk losing my unused chronometer or last epic rift entry) so waited for a fix.

    To then receive the compensation was great! I wasn’t expecting anything and thought fair play to those that had chanced it... but honestly are you seriously thinking they will all run 20+ rifts at full energy cost because they got free entry?! So I don’t think many would have benefitted without everyone being compensated so I think it is a big win personally.

    I’m recently uncollected and not end game so, having looked at what rewards are available for master rifts, have made use of running these now for all of the t4 catalysts and alphas, etc, which I would not have been able to do so without the compensation. So why is everyone complaining?! Would you rather not have the option to do it then? Quit the complaining just because you have run all of the epic rifts and have a look at master rifts, they are far from useless!

    Those that chose to spend for extra intel will get some form of compensation in next month June event (which could be good or bad) so that is the only legitimate complain as far as I’m concerned.

    But then again some on here just love a chance to moan about anything so you can’t please everyone... happy days!

    Not sure why you'd think that if you knew it wasn't planned.
