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!

Anyone who opened a crystal got a crystal back... So if u were lucky to pull a god tier and then u pull a groot u were out of luck...
You also can't compare these two bugs. We've said this a lot, and I know you all know it, but not every bug is the same. This is a server-side fix, which is very different from a bug that requires a hotfix. We are working to fix that as soon as we can, and putting in more effort than it's taking to fix this issue, but that doesn't mean it's physically going to be as fast to fix.
So catching everybody up on this.
As soon as this issue was identified, we fixed it right away. It was intended to be Mythic Crystal Shards. We have disabled the ability for players to open any mythic crystals at this time.
We don't anticipate having to ban any players, but if you could claim these Crystals, PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THEM. We will be taking back the rewards that were gotten from these crystals, but if the more of those crystals that were opened, the more likely for problems to arise.
But the onus is on you as a company/developers to actually double and triple check these things before they go live. Not push something out and then realize that a mistake was made and punish players for your mistakes. Players shouldn't have to pause and double check your work.
I get that most of these events and things going live are automatic in terms of timing, but they should still be checked - and when these mistakes do happen, the initial forum response shouldn't be to just make a snarky comment about banning people. Something like that ^ is far more effective, informative and appreciated.
Maybe I'm just speaking for myself though.
Regardless, I do apologize for my own snarky remarks - keep up the good work. (Not sarcasm, past couple days aside, I do think you're all doing a good job and it doesn't get said enough - we're mostly vocal when things go wrong and we come out for your blood.)
Does a rollback suck? Yeah, but it's fair across the board and treats all accounts the same. Maybe they can do a more targeted reset and track account inventories, but a rollback is one way to guarantee they get all accounts. No chance of them missing accounts and people slipping through the cracks, or sitting on 1250 Mythic crystals.
it is definitely a headache for you guys to sort it out with all the ither issues currently running
