Act8.1 Delay: Consumables expiring [UPDATE: 10am PT, Sept 14]

pseudosane · September 2022

I've bought the cav exploration offers to stockpile my resources for 8.1 exploration. With this delay, these consumables will expire. I have no way to save these resources since i have no content left in game. IS there any way to pause the consumables timer, or ar there any team plans to compensate players for this delay?

AGREED! What a waste of time spent, especially those who have been waiting since they announced it on the video, planning everything. 🤦‍♂️ I hope they consider reverting.

Gogeta91199 · September 2022

Totally agreed!! This is not fair to the players who grinded revives according to the previously mentioned date!

H3t3r · September 2022

When can kabam finally start actually giving all the info and release dates at the start of each update. Like seriously. We run into this so many times

Fire_3 · September 2022

This is not fair at all. Where have they ever mentioned that 14th could be a subject to change, not even a warning. Please revert back to the 14th, it’s a players choice to do battlegrounds or 8.1, there’s enough breathing space @Kabam Miike

yeah personally i have zero interest in BGs. I wanted to do act content and bought offers pertaning to completing it asap, with the date previously provided. An Oops, sorry isnt going to suffice.

Worknprogress · September 2022

Same situation. Pushing this back after you already announced a date bc some complained about there being too much at once is ridiculous.

Typical of Kabam to make the most crucial changes and announcements at the last possible second 💀 will this company ever learn?

Completely agree, you don't need to do everything all at once. Act 8 is permanent content, if you wanna focus on BGs then focus on BGs. To change it 2 days before is not a good call IMO.

Unless there's a better reason than "there was too much going on", I am pretty disappointed

I took the offer of the monthly event too, due to Act 8.1. Now all my resources will expire in 8 days. Kabam please put the old date back.

Don’t even want a compensation as that would be stupid as many people didn’t do the grind, reverting date to original planned one would probably be the wisest decision

Masaraksh1 · September 2022

this is not correct, everyone is waiting for the old date

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Jax

Man i bought 1k EQ completion offer and now all those resources will expire. Kabam really punked us

ChampSlayer · September 2022

This is just BS. 28 of my revives will expire before 21st.

Fire_3 · September 2022

Preach @AlecFantastic

toyshadow08 · September 2022

so originally act 8.1 was suppose to come out on September 14th now its coming out September 21st because of the battle grounds release. so because of the delay so many people will have potions revives and energy refills that were going to go to act 8.1 expire because of communication being so last minute .it was clear from the moment they announced the release dates that the dates were close so I find it hard to believe that the decision just got made. and in conclusion i think the release date should be September 14th again or they should give the expiring items back to the player so that time getting the items wasn't wasted. I would like to hear your opinions about this.

Jaded · September 2022

16 revives expiring by the 21st, 0 revives expiring by Wednesday…

TitoBandito187 · September 2022

I just sold 5 revives I couldn't use before Wednesday. Now, I'm going to lose 29 more - GARBAGE. No one is forcing anyone to start 8.1. Let them wait a week on their own and the rest of us go play it so we can use the items we farmed for just for this. Terrible.

Fire_3 · September 2022

Kabam know that people have been grinding and buying deals , they can’t just say ‘sorry for the inconvenience’ 2 days before planned release. I understand delays due to technical issues but this reasoning is just not understandable. I ask again please revert, that would be the best outcome.

TitoBandito187 · September 2022

I didn't even think of the 750 units I just spent for the questing pack (which included revives and energy last week for Act 8) that are going to expire now too. Wow.

Squirrelguy · September 2022

As someone else pointed out, if this is a reason to hold it back so other things can be adjusted (eg bugs and things) then I would not mind as much. Moving it back a week with only two days notice is a significant change. I was much more excited about 8.1 than BGs, and if people get overwhelmed with so much content, they can just wait to work through 8.1. Too much content should only be a problem for the servers, not the playerbase.

SCZ · September 2022

Kabam has told us not to hoard.

MrSakuragi · September 2022

Not needed, I don’t see a whole lot of people waiting in line to whale out for UnitGrounds

De_Potato_Salad · September 2022

The 8.1 delay has rendered all these items useless as I have nothing to use them for. This was a waste of time and resources and it is unfair and the majority of players who used their time and resources to gain these for the expected arrival of 8.1 on September 14th…

Kabam Jax · September 2022

Hey Everyone.

If you have purchased unit deals in anticipation of the September 14th date and have not used the items, please contact support and they will likely be able to help refund your purchase. (Ingame: Gear Icon -> Support)

To clarify, when we say we want to "give breathing room" between major releases, it's not giving summoners time between modes. It's to enable the game team to give their full attention to each game mode and to problem solve any major issues that creep up.

As we've stated before, releasing multiple major pieces of content at the same time can cause instability in the build and we want to make sure both game modes release without major problems.
