Excellent news. Even if the solution is just restricting the number of t10 runs you can do, letting them run extra t9 over t6/7/8, extra t9 is basically just a couple lucky TB crystals. Much better than the t5cc crystals in t10.

(that is assuming OP calculations of 9 Max runs being correct, but would much rather see actual confirmation by DNA or some other reliable source as to whether 9 is the correct number or not)
Assuming someone got 240 Uru right at the start of the event (double the 120 Uru that Uncollected players were supposed to get) they could theoretically buy every casket from one to seven immediately (10+15+20+30+40+50+60 = 225). They would have 15 Uru left. To do that they would need to run Tier 6 once to unlock Casket 6 and Tier 7 once to unlock Casket 7. At this point they've done two runs and have a total of 35 Uru (ten each from those two runs plus the left over).
Casket 8 costs 75 Uru. Five runs of Tier 8 would bring the total Uru to 75. All you need is Casket 9 which costs 100 Uru. Ten runs of Tier 9 earns 110 Uru and allows you to buy Casket 9, which now unlocks Tier 10. At this point you've done 2 + 5 + 10 = 17 total runs. We get 35 feathers, which means theoretically speaking you should be able to do 18 runs of Tier 10.
A normal UC run burns 28 feathers to unlock Tier 10, whereupon there would be 7 runs left of Tier 10. So someone with the double Uru should be able to do 11 more runs of Tier 10. Which kind of makes sense, as we earn either 10 or 11 Uru per run, and 120 Uru should then be an advantage of somewhere between 11 and 12 runs.
I'm not certain how the OP performed their calculations, but I believe the numbers above are accurate; also anyone can double check them to verify.
Eleven extra runs of Tier 10 is a pretty sizeable advantage; it is more than double the number of runs normally possible. I don't see how that could be interpreted as anything other than problematic.
The obvious solution, as other people have mentioned, is to lock Tier 10 to a maximum of seven runs, as that was the maximum possible under the content design. It is not as easy to lock Tier 9, because the structure of the content is such that there's no similar limit on Tier 9. In theory someone could reasonably do 17 runs of Tier 9 if they felt Tier 10 was too difficult or 10 runs if they jumped to Tier 10 as soon as possible and stayed there. If you locked Tier 9 to a maximum of 10 that would hurt players who could not move up to Tier 10 and take away an option explicitly intended to be there. If you lock to 17, that's so soft a lock it almost doesn't matter, as someone with double Uru could then do Tier 10 seven times and Tier 9 seventeen times, with only four feathers left over to dump into tier 8.
More complex locking would start to exponentially increase the likelihood of another bug breaking the content while it is still being run by players.

What's that got to do with this thread? People play at their own pace mate. It's a game at the end of the day. I have seen people who are not even uncollected after playing for years. Let's keep it on topic
He says that he doesn't care about the extra 26% t5cc but isnt thronbreaker. Any Cav who actually felt like pushing to thronbreaker would value t5cc the most, yet he says he doesn't care. idk man, both this and the fact that he is on the other side of like every major argument makes it seem like he is a troll.
The extra 26% that someone else gets through a glitch is what "he" doesn't care about. It has nothing to do with being contradictory. If someone else got that through a bug, that has nothing to do with my Account. Would it matter to my Account? Sure. The difference is I'm not expecting to get the same just because of a glitch that affected a small amount of people.
Didn’t realise people were demanding the same... maybe it’s because nobody is.
Actually, when someone suggests valuing it, then that implies it affects my Account. Someone else getting it through an error does NOT affect me in the slightest. That's the point. The only basis for the argument that I see is they get it and everyone else doesn't.
So are you not competitive in this game at all?
Not to this extreme, no.
then leave this thread.
So you think the only people who can comment are the ones that agree with status quo? There's a word for that.
No. It's like one person living in one country expressing why the local pet policy in another country should not be changed. Commenting on stuff that have literally no consequence to you
It's not like that at all. It has no consequence to anyone if it's not a significant enough leak of Resources, aside from the feeling of fairness.
Every time I ask the developers for free T5CC catalysts, I tell them it would be an insignificant leak of resources into the game if they only give them to me. And the devs in return tell me it would be an insignificant leak of resources out of the game if they took all my units away.
You know what just stop everyone, this is a nothing burger of a thread now and is a waste of the trillions of amounts of data that can be on the internet. The issue discussed is being addressed so please let this thread die and not be constantly pinged to the top. Thnx #Justice4Joe

You people realize that they don’t really work on weekends right? Every time something happens during the weekend, everyone’s like why’s there no response
This issue is not a new one. It was brought up in the side quest thread way earlier.
It was brought up and people couldn't let it go. Now no one can run Tier 10 until they come up with something. Lol. Too funny.
you do realize no one can do tier 10 now right? Unless they got the extra uru and then I still think they have to wait a day
That entirely depends on when they come up with a resolution. Makes no difference to me either way. I still say it's not enough of a deal to halt everything. That's one of the things that makes this community toxic. People can't stand seeing others get something.
None of this is toxic. It’s a legitimate bug giving a decent advantage to a small amount of the player base, which is highly unbalanced especially considering kabams previous comments on t5cc and the games economy. Nothing is technically being halted until whenever the rest of us are able to do their 10.
Might not make a difference to you, but it does to a lot of others
It wasn't a significant enough of a problem for them to take action until people complained about it. They also pointed out the response was to concerns. Not to the issue. It could have been left if people could accept someone else having something they don't. That's about all I'm going to say on it.
It’s incredible how you keep magically knowing how Kabam are working internally on this. ‘Concerns’ are just the buzzword they use when they first address issues.
You continue to bash the community, and yet you still can’t provide any evidence that it was only a small number of people that got extra. And by some mental gymnastics that I think politicians would be in awe of, use that baseless assertion to say that Kabam haven’t been aware of this, and the community is kicking up a fuss over nothing. They can’t say they’ve been talking about it for days, even if they have been, because then their communication takes another hit
So, without saying “Kabam haven’t responded until now because it isn’t a big problem”, show us how you know how many players got extra.
Give us a figure wise guy. Because don’t think I didn’t notice you ignored me on this point earlier.
If it isn’t a big problem, Kabam won’t do anything. But they are. Therefore they think there is something that needs remedied. It isn’t getting recognised because the community kicked up a fuss. The community kicked up a fuss after DDHK’s rework. They ignored us.
So provide some substance to your assertions. If you can prove that this isn’t a big deal, I’ll happily apologise and say you were right all along.
Otherwise, it’s only wise to assume this is a genuine issue that affects a lot of people. Better to overreact to a non issue that completely miss a major one

I'm not talking about the difference it makes on the Accounts that got the benefit. I'm talking about the overall effect of a small number of Accounts gaining the benefit. It wasn't a matter of people being given anything. It was a glitch. Creating more work than is necessary on principle is a waste of energy as far as I'm concerned. Not unless the effect warrants it. I disagree that it warrants it. There's something to be said for people investing more gusto into preventing others from having something than they do earning their own Rewards.

That was what I posted some pages back. Locking the highest tier is easy. But it is almost impossible to lock the lower tiers because that is the model of this side quest. It was designed so that people may choose what rewards and what difficulty they wanted to do. T5cc is just the highest and most difficult resource to get right now. Even after locking tier 10, people may complain that t5b is very valuable to fresh cavaliers and it is given unfairly to some people. So the best and only solution seems to be to take away the Uru given away to the select players that got extra. May be put a negative Uru like negative units and make them earn upto tier 10.

I’m assuming you mean 11 extra runs of Tier 10, not 9. Had to look back at Tier 9 to see what the prize was.
And yes—I’d agree it is pretty significant if you get 11 more 2% T5c crystals (plus an additional T5b).
Dr. Zola
Yes, thanks for the catch; I've corrected that typo.
An extra T5B would be a huge advantage to some, but the 22% more T5CC fragments would be substantial to pretty much anyone capable of running Tier 10 in the first place.
It wouldn't be "game breaking" but that's a meaningless distinction that I wish people would stop asserting. Saying something *is* game breaking is meaningful. Saying something is not game breaking is meaningless because almost every problem worth tackling is not game breaking.

I’m genuinely curious now whether one of the indicators the team uses to become aware of game issues is via posting frequency by specific forums members.
Dr. Zola
I wouldn’t doubt it
Every issue requires a big enough outrage from the community for kabam to look into it. No different this time. Hood - big outrage - rollback buff. Kingpin - not enough outrage - go ahead with the buff. 😂

Only need 4 runs of tier 8 for 75 total uru. Also, you failed to include the 8 uru they receive from the tier 1 rewards. There is that extra 2 days.
What OP failed to consider is that last feather will be claimed on April 5th, not 7th. So, there will be only 7 runs of tier 10 normally. The difference of 13 runs is correctly calculated.

No one except kabam can determine how many accounts were affected by the glitch which I assume they are doing right now. You have a point of view that it does not matter who gets what as long as everything is OK in my account. Not everyone has to agree and play by that view though. Even by your logic, kabam could have left things alone and nothing could be done. The fact that they have started discussing and locking tier 10 means it could be a lot of accounts that everyone thought. So, I would wait for them to come up with a solution than arguing who was right.

Yes, I did not originally include the extra feather some people got. Regardless of which tier they ran, this would reduce the number of runs to reach Tier 9 by one and also reduce the number of runs to reach Tier 10 by one, which then increases the maximum possible Tier 10 runs under this scenario to 20.

No thanks necessary. I missed most of the fun anyway, as I normally take weekends off the forums for mental health personal reasons.
Wasn't referring to you. We may disagree now and then but I still respect you. For that matter, I wasn't directing it at anyone in particular. I do feel there's too much attention given to people who may have benefitted through an error. If there's a valid concern pertaining to game balance, that's one thing. A diatribe about fairness over a small number of people is quite frankly, rock salt.
But the issue is that you don’t know it’s a small amount of people.
In any case, they're responding to it and people are happy. Which is just fine with me. I have my own opinions on it, and there's no sense in beating the subject. I'm happy they cared enough about peoples' concerns of fairness. That says something to me.

What's that got to do with this thread? People play at their own pace mate. It's a game at the end of the day. I have seen people who are not even uncollected after playing for years. Let's keep it on topic
He says that he doesn't care about the extra 26% t5cc but isnt thronbreaker. Any Cav who actually felt like pushing to thronbreaker would value t5cc the most, yet he says he doesn't care. idk man, both this and the fact that he is on the other side of like every major argument makes it seem like he is a troll.
The extra 26% that someone else gets through a glitch is what "he" doesn't care about. It has nothing to do with being contradictory. If someone else got that through a bug, that has nothing to do with my Account. Would it matter to my Account? Sure. The difference is I'm not expecting to get the same just because of a glitch that affected a small amount of people.
Didn’t realise people were demanding the same... maybe it’s because nobody is.
Actually, when someone suggests valuing it, then that implies it affects my Account. Someone else getting it through an error does NOT affect me in the slightest. That's the point. The only basis for the argument that I see is they get it and everyone else doesn't.
So are you not competitive in this game at all?
Not to this extreme, no.
then leave this thread.
So you think the only people who can comment are the ones that agree with status quo? There's a word for that.
No. It's like one person living in one country expressing why the local pet policy in another country should not be changed. Commenting on stuff that have literally no consequence to you
It's not like that at all. It has no consequence to anyone if it's not a significant enough leak of Resources, aside from the feeling of fairness.
Every time I ask the developers for free T5CC catalysts, I tell them it would be an insignificant leak of resources into the game if they only give them to me. And the devs in return tell me it would be an insignificant leak of resources out of the game if they took all my units away.
I'm not talking about the difference it makes on the Accounts that got the benefit.
There's something to be said for people investing more gusto into preventing others from having something than they do earning their own Rewards.
No thanks necessary. I missed most of the fun anyway, as I normally take weekends off the forums for mental health personal reasons.
Wasn't referring to you. We may disagree now and then but I still respect you. For that matter, I wasn't directing it at anyone in particular. I do feel there's too much attention given to people who may have benefitted through an error. If there's a valid concern pertaining to game balance, that's one thing. A diatribe about fairness over a small number of people is quite frankly, rock salt.
But the issue is that you don’t know it’s a small amount of people.

Yes I do. Kabam just stated that themselves.
A small amount can still be in tens of hundreds of thousands as we do not know the exact amount of people who play the game. 10% seems like a small amount. That could mean a million people if 10 million people play the game.

The original compensation package was generated to address the problem of a small group of players losing a single feather's worth of rewards. If that is worth tackling, it is certainly worth tackling the problem of a portion of them getting more than double the top bracket rewards of the rest of the players.
Compensation must always attempt to be as close to a fair remedy as possible, because you do not want to encourage players to deliberately plow into bugs just on the gamble they might receive broken compensation. Broken compensation is an incentive to exploit bugs for profit in a way that cannot be punished for, as it is impossible to distinguish players falling victim to a bug and profiteering.

Given that comparison, I suppose I can agree with that.

I'm not talking about the difference it makes on the Accounts that got the benefit. I'm talking about the overall effect of a small number of Accounts gaining the benefit. It wasn't a matter of people being given anything. It was a glitch. Creating more work than is necessary on principle is a waste of energy as far as I'm concerned. Not unless the effect warrants it. I disagree that it warrants it. There's something to be said for people investing more gusto into preventing others from having something than they do earning their own Rewards.
The thing to keep in mind is that objectively, we have no idea how many players were affected and we have no way of actually determining this. It may well turn out that only 5% of the player base or even less got the extra Uru allowing them to get extra runs of Tier 10. However, for all we know 20% of the player base or more could have received the extra resources.
Seeing as how rare T5 CC are to get, I believe that this situation more than warranted a response from the devs in some shape or form. These catalysts are directly linked to the progression from cavalier to throne breaker, and are thus very important materials. The problem with this situation is that it creates a disadvantage for players who didn’t receive the extra resources.
Take, for example, a player who has just completed Act 6. For completion of the entire act they get 25% of a T5 CC of whatever class they choose. This situation presents a problem in that a player like myself who hasn’t completed Act 6 yet (personally I’m on 6.2.3 and took a break to further develop my roster) can theoretically end up with a higher percentage of a T5 CC than the players who are waiting on a full catalyst to transition to Thronebreaker.
Therefore, I personally believe it’s clear that this situation should be addressed. It creates a disadvantage for players who need these resources to progress. Other than the fact that Tier 10 has temporarily been disabled, we have no idea what the actual response will be. And seeing as how the rest of the player base wouldn’t be able to access it for at least another week, I think that the dev’s initial response was the correct response so far.
Comments
That’s why your my favorite Boo
Casket 8 costs 75 Uru. Five runs of Tier 8 would bring the total Uru to 75. All you need is Casket 9 which costs 100 Uru. Ten runs of Tier 9 earns 110 Uru and allows you to buy Casket 9, which now unlocks Tier 10. At this point you've done 2 + 5 + 10 = 17 total runs. We get 35 feathers, which means theoretically speaking you should be able to do 18 runs of Tier 10.
A normal UC run burns 28 feathers to unlock Tier 10, whereupon there would be 7 runs left of Tier 10. So someone with the double Uru should be able to do 11 more runs of Tier 10. Which kind of makes sense, as we earn either 10 or 11 Uru per run, and 120 Uru should then be an advantage of somewhere between 11 and 12 runs.
I'm not certain how the OP performed their calculations, but I believe the numbers above are accurate; also anyone can double check them to verify.
Eleven extra runs of Tier 10 is a pretty sizeable advantage; it is more than double the number of runs normally possible. I don't see how that could be interpreted as anything other than problematic.
The obvious solution, as other people have mentioned, is to lock Tier 10 to a maximum of seven runs, as that was the maximum possible under the content design. It is not as easy to lock Tier 9, because the structure of the content is such that there's no similar limit on Tier 9. In theory someone could reasonably do 17 runs of Tier 9 if they felt Tier 10 was too difficult or 10 runs if they jumped to Tier 10 as soon as possible and stayed there. If you locked Tier 9 to a maximum of 10 that would hurt players who could not move up to Tier 10 and take away an option explicitly intended to be there. If you lock to 17, that's so soft a lock it almost doesn't matter, as someone with double Uru could then do Tier 10 seven times and Tier 9 seventeen times, with only four feathers left over to dump into tier 8.
More complex locking would start to exponentially increase the likelihood of another bug breaking the content while it is still being run by players.
You continue to bash the community, and yet you still can’t provide any evidence that it was only a small number of people that got extra. And by some mental gymnastics that I think politicians would be in awe of, use that baseless assertion to say that Kabam haven’t been aware of this, and the community is kicking up a fuss over nothing. They can’t say they’ve been talking about it for days, even if they have been, because then their communication takes another hit
So, without saying “Kabam haven’t responded until now because it isn’t a big problem”, show us how you know how many players got extra.
Give us a figure wise guy. Because don’t think I didn’t notice you ignored me on this point earlier.
If it isn’t a big problem, Kabam won’t do anything. But they are. Therefore they think there is something that needs remedied. It isn’t getting recognised because the community kicked up a fuss. The community kicked up a fuss after DDHK’s rework. They ignored us.
So provide some substance to your assertions. If you can prove that this isn’t a big deal, I’ll happily apologise and say you were right all along.
Otherwise, it’s only wise to assume this is a genuine issue that affects a lot of people. Better to overreact to a non issue that completely miss a major one
An extra T5B would be a huge advantage to some, but the 22% more T5CC fragments would be substantial to pretty much anyone capable of running Tier 10 in the first place.
It wouldn't be "game breaking" but that's a meaningless distinction that I wish people would stop asserting. Saying something *is* game breaking is meaningful. Saying something is not game breaking is meaningless because almost every problem worth tackling is not game breaking.
"Our top story tonight: seventeen car pile up on the freeway generates explosion and fireball which did not obliterate the planet. In other news..."
What OP failed to consider is that last feather will be claimed on April 5th, not 7th. So, there will be only 7 runs of tier 10 normally. The difference of 13 runs is correctly calculated.

And seeing as how the rest of the player base wouldn’t be able to access it for at least another week, I think that the dev’s initial response was the correct response so far.
