**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

    Just want to put some extra emphasis on "ANNUAL" summoner appreciation. That means its every year and this one is shabby in comparison to others.

    Here's what I don't understand, In the Official post they called it a Summoner Appreciation Gift. Not compensation, a gift. That gift has somehow turned into compensation.
    it was confirmed by a mod in this thread. about page 10 iirc

    I think Kabam is confused again.

    gift
    NOUN: a thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present.

    com·pen·sa·tion
    NOUN: something that counterbalances or makes up for an undesirable or unwelcome state of affairs.

    Kabam is trying to say that the gift is actually compensation, which means that it was never a gift in the first place.
    They are trying to kill two birds with one stone.

    so a month of kabam not doing their job turns to kabam giving us an appreciation week? That makes no sense. We get that on a yearly base. It’s like putting a bow on a piece of ish and telling us this is for us messing up. And the cherry on top is the dungeons. Bruuhhh can y’all get one thing right? Some self reflection is really needed in those kabam offices.

    But in kabams eyes this is overcompensating

    Nope, but what hope have we got of reaching out to the decision makers when they disable content before its released. Can just see them right now with their heads in their hands

    And to think of how long they’ve had to prepare

    Are you talking about the amount they Test, or the success of the Beta itself. You can't say the Program itself has been horrible.

    Well it did allow people to exploit unit purchases and some got away with it for months so I guess you could say the Beta itself was horrible.

    Okay, this is getting off-topic, so I'm not going to delve too much. I will say this. People are responsible for their own choices. They didn't "allow" people to exploit. That was a choice. A poor one at that. They volunteered to help with the overheating issue and they took advantage of that trust. It was also not months.

    I meant the amount they test but this is off topic

    Closed beta tests are by their very nature exploitable: they are unfinished and untested content. Most closed beta test programs I've been in generally make it clear to the beta testers that they are being allowed early access to content under very specific and limited conditions, and their conduct within that program is generally held to a higher standard than normal, and deliberate attempts to compromise the game while in the beta program will tend to have harsher penalties than otherwise.

    When someone deliberately and explicitly compromises a closed beta test to exploit the conditions of the beta test program for personal or otherwise gain, the sole responsibility and fault for that is with the player. Period. If you think this is fair game, don't join closed beta tests.

    I don’t think the majority are questioning the beta process in itself - but talking about it in reference to this particular issue. It was already hard to swallow that they are a multi million dollar company who didn’t outsource this overheating issue to a competent company to run the beta, and instead asked the player base who actually was harmed or at potential harm to run the beta instead.

    That would be ridiculous if they asked the playerbase to run the beta test program. However, I have no knowledge of that occurring.
