Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Will rewards be taken from players who exploited the bug?

I don’t think anyone should be banned for exploiting the bug but the rewards they got should be removed. I find it a little unfair that people where able to farm thousands of units, shards and, sig stones.

    But what if the players already used what they got would they take away the rewards

    So IMO it can go either way

    Some bugs mess people and sometimes whole allys but the whole community gets ignored.
    A few manage to benefit from a bug and those that didn't freak out...

    They should remove the champs from their accounts

    I guess that would be a bit weird, but I think it’s pretty annoying as the game could be imbalanced by this, players could go from have no t5b to multiple rank 5s, from 2 6*s to 8 and lots of other potential mayhem

    seeing that this is a bug on kabams side, this is fair game. people who did exploit this bug did not do anything out of ToS because this was a bug that occurred on kabams side and not the players hacking or cheating

    I actually took advantage of this a couple times but I feel kinda guilty about it as it’s pretty unfair

    Exactly so I don’t think they’ll remove it but we’ll find out soon enough

    Yeah, so this is why I don’t think they should be banned, only the rewards should be removed

    How long do you think it took to run these paths? Multiple t5bs and multiple 6* crystals? 1000 6* shards per run and you think people managed 20 runs before it was removed?
    You're talking about an 'imbalance' but anyone that managed to run those paths THAT quick is already likely to be an end game player so there is no1 running that with 4*s that suddenly have new 6*s and R5s.

    There is precedent though. I don’t remember the bug or exploit exactly, but accounts were suspended and items removed.
