VanillaCoke

Has there been word regarding this? I wanted to double check.

I've been wondering to, the game was basically unplayable because of it

The thing that affected a lot of people, me included, is Act 8 Scytalis. How is this being addressed?

Nothing so far after this comment from kabam miike on the subject

Scytalisis didn't really affect me because the battlefield had things in the background I could try and remember when she placed traps, but I died alot to other champions, not to mention block animations were broken and that fricked me up alot

Unplayable, why?

I didn't know its a bug when i fought her. I was just wondering where her traps have been. So I used a few revives because I stepped into these invisible traps, which i probably wouldn't have used if the issue wasn'tt there

You do realize that people play the game without reading the forums… on top of that the VFX issue didn’t come in game until days after. Regardless of Scytalis, there was a VFX bug that affected the ENTIRE game.

Scenario 1 - a bug unexpectedly emerges that affects existing content. Kabam can tell people not to try anything crazy while they fix it. Compensation not needed imo because you have time before and after.

Scenario 2 - Kabam releases content that’s bugged on release. Those rewards are more significant and many summoners don’t have a frame of reference for what’s intended or not. We’re figuring it out as a community. Compensation is appropriate.

I needed to clear 8.1 to become paragon. I needed to do it the specific week that I did it to be able to hit 20 points in EOP.

So when we get the compensation that was already stated we're getting by kabam miike, you can simply choose to not claim it from your in-game email and let is simply expire..

This happened in all areas of the games for different champions and different modes. We shouldn’t be forced to not play the game because they have bugs coming out each update.

Scytalis is a special case, since none of us have seen her in content before. If there is a bugged new champ, the logical thing to do would be to issue an in-game message to ensure everyone knows there is something wrong with the way the champion is behaving. Posting a comment somewhere in the forums (let’s be honest—probably sentenced to obscurity in a thread on the Bugs page) doesn’t even come close to “notice.”

As such, I do not recall an in-game message. It’s possible there was a banner on the forums, but as many are wont to point out, the forums represents a very, very small minority of the player base.

As others stated, the in-game message did not relay the information until much later. Once I figured out what was going on, after many resources spent, i was not amysed. I could now probably do this fight in <15% of what I used.

It's an unpopular opinion, but I think the compensation should come with AW/AQ potions/revive and energy refills.
I think it was everyone's decision to do act 8.1. I myself saw that it was bugged and I didn't do it. Not being able to do it meant that I wasted energy.
If you did it knowing that the game was in trouble, it's nothing more than an exploit.
AQ/AW are mandatory, there was no option to simply not play, those who are in alliance know that they need to play and that's it, but side quests, monthly events and act are things you can expect and by waiting, we had a huge loss with loss of energy

Hot take, but bad take. You have a choice in every aspect of the game. The fact of the matter is whether or not this is being followed up on or is being swept under the rug. As mentioned in this thread, not everyone reads the forums and the notification about the bug did not come in game until much later.

I saw content creators doing BW fight before it was bugged and the traps were shown, then when I got into the fight the traps were invisible, how could I've known it's a bug, I tried many times thinking that I'm doing something wrong wanted a decent amount of revives before eventually everyone notices that this is a bug, and after all of that kabam put an announcement on fourms ( which is an unknown place for most players) that the visuals are broken everywhere in game. So no I didn't decide to do the fight knowing it was bugged, I simply didn't knew

I still think even if you don’t read forums you have a choice to do content that’s bugged. Reading forums doesn’t matter nor does it heavily affect gameplay, it helps so you can understand what’s going on but it’s a choice to read forums as much as it is a choice to do bugged content. I don’t think there should be much compensation except say for energy refills, revives and potions. But then again not everyone did the bugged content so it’s difficult to just give a hand out when a good amount of ppl made a smart choice to not make it more difficult for themselves by doing the bugged content. We shouldn’t be given a handout for making our own choices to do bugged content. Ofc it was out of our control that the game was bugged but it was most definitely in our control to proceed or not.

Compensation for anything ever? Nope. It's your fault for playing the game at all when there was a bug, it isn't kabams mistake if you decide to play their game when there is a bug.

Same energy.

Even if you don’t know there’s a global chat where you can ask and most of the time ppl will point out in global that something is bugged. Diligence is a virtue that most ppl seem to not understand.

That's a bit exaggerated don't you think?

CometEarth

Still no word about it. People used more pots and revives so it has affecte them in a very negative way. Hope we have nes about this compensation soon.

VanillaCoke

@Kabam Jax do you have any insight?

VanillaCoke

I don’t understand how other less important threads are getting responses, but requesting info about VFX issues/compensation from weeks ago seems to be too much to warrant a response

I think this is a "ghost them until they forget about it" method here
