The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Clarification

Regarding the gifting event, Kabam stated that you must be in an alliance 14 days prior to be able to contribute to alliance event and claim milestones.... however, there was no mention about retroactive points being issued once the 14days have been met. I have a member in my alliance who has contributed almost 300k points, and if those don’t count once his 14 days are met, there is going to be some irate members of the community ! @kabam

    Won't work for this event. People have already gone passed the lockout periods and points did not retroactively count.

    That’s no different then Summoner Advancement. Once you’re eligible, the points go retroactive
    You won't get the points, end of story.

    I am pretty sure you were supposed to join 14 days before gifting starts

    Ideally, yes. But if you join later, you have to wait to contribute.

    It always makes me laugh when I see someone claim 'massive community backlash' as a justification for why something should work the way they want it to. Especially when there was a very simple way to avoid the problem in the first place.

    When people don’t even bother to read the in-game mail, that’s when you get posts seeking “clarification” like this. The alliance gifting rank rewards aren’t that great anyway, so the 300k gifter probably won’t miss out too much.

    There has been an abundance of clarification, you're simply refusing to listen because you want Kabam to tell you so you can complain to them. ALL POINTS BEFORE 14 DAYS IN THE ALLIANCE DO NOT COUNT. It is abundantly clear when you can see they aren't even recorded in the alliance event during lockout.

    In summoned advancement, all points you contribute are added, you're only ineligible for rewards. In gifting you can see the points ARE NOT counted towards the event.

    Listen to what everyone has said, say bummer to your mate for his 300k not contributing and learn to read.

    It specifically says

    In order to better address player concerns over some unsportsmanlike behaviour in previous years, we are implementing additional measures to ensure we maintain the integrity of the gifting events. Players who have been members of an Alliance for less than 14 days will be unable to contribute points towards, or claim rewards from, the Alliance Gifting Event.”

    In the forum thread.

    What is hard to understand about

    Players who have been members of an Alliance for less than 14 days will be unable to contribute points towards, or claim rewards from, the Alliance Gifting Event.

    If they were to have allowed it to be retroactive they would have specified that.

    That’s laughable. What 30 people? Maybe a few alliances since they didn’t read the notice well enough.

    This comes down to user issue not Kabam issue.

    And besides the alliance rank rewards suck anyways. It’s the solo rewards that really matter

    I read the ingame Mail, maybe you should ! It states that players can’t contribute until the 14day requirement has been met, but not that the points won’t be added retroactive the same as Summoner Advancement. There has been no formal clarity on this from Kabam @Kabam Miike
    Not being able to contribute means exactly what is written. You can't contribute any points. It's not the same as "you will be eligible in X:XX:XX"
