**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.

    Have you guys noticed how none of the famous youtubers (apart from Dorky obviously) are making a single video about this or even mentioning it.

    Because they’ve already exploited it and want to keep their ill gotten gains.

    Or they’re just cowards afraid of controversy.

    Thanks to Dave for having a pair.

    Yeah most times quick to point out an issue...except when it benefits them.

    I literally just showed you they’ve done exactly that before

    The restrictions were in the item description and on the forums

    Go troll somewhere else please

    Does everyone come to the Forum? I wasn't trolling at all. I was showing a different perspective. God forbid someone doesn't grab a pitchfork. Bottom line is it was a bug. It's fixed. I don't care if a few people got to use it on newer Champs. Doesn't affect me at all. It's not going to make a difference to the people who used them, or the ones that didn't. It was a glitch. Now people want a glitch.

    Others care that “a few people” purposely exploited this bug for otherwise unattainable advancement of their account. Many of those other people are directly affected by people who did it.

    Thanks for sharing your opinion. Feel free to respect a differing opinion at any time.

    See everyone this is where the block list and LOL button come in handy.

    Carry on

    Yep. They’ve sent in thier closer. He’ll now derail the thread and get it closed. It’s amazing how such a low level player can come in and take over discussions. He doesn’t care that they get an advantage but he cares about a player running 10 accounts and stealing his 3 star shards in war. How convenient

    Only happens if you let it. Keep it on point.

    You dont care???

    Some do like me who plays in top aw meta and in a top alliance

    My peers get to rank up any champ, while im restricted to 2015 champions


    It also effects those who complete this 100% in the future knowing the first people who did this abused a bug and essentialy got better rewards.

    You dont care because you will never be up here, but its more than that, its morale thing.

    And everyone should get same rewards even if its day 1 100% or 1-3 years from now

    The rewards details was released before the event came out.

    And thats what it should have rewarded.

    Feel free to know it effects end game community and future completion from community.

    You cant just give people completly different rewards just because they completed it first

    What a selfish opinion you have
    @GroundedWisdom

    I'm being described as selfish and people are complaining about what others got. Interesting.
    If something is a bug, it's not intended. They have to fix it. They can't just let it ride for everyone because everyone should get the same thing. Did some use it knowing it was bugged? Sure. Some didn't. How many people got to use them in the bugged state do you figure? A handful, perhaps. People who are already developed, and a couple more R4s among them are not going to throw the game off.
    Do not presume to tell me what I will and will not do. It's there for everyone should I choose to do it. The issue is mine to discuss as well. I say it doesn't matter.

    The best part are the players who completed this on purpose specifically to take advantage of this bug that are now offering to complete it for other players for a price.

    Based on what I’ve seen, for only $800 you can have someone complete it for you to get rewards worse than they got.

    Offering to be a paid Merc is a whole other ball of wax. That's not cool. My point is, you need quantifiable proof to take action in the case of an exploit. You can't prove who had knowledge of the glitch, and who just used their Gems. That's not something you can do. We can't read peoples' minds.

    How many pages in this thread and not 1 mod can speak... they warned before about taking advantage of bugs and yet we here again, all it takes it a post to say they will reverse the gems of those who exploit the bug. Then again the people that did exploit it are top players who spend money and we all know rules are not same for whole player base

    Plenty who spend more than they spend did not do this, based on the fact that people have been banned for less and that kabam’s own words said this is a ToS violation.

    This isn’t about money. They will lose more by not reversing it.

    The main issue is the players that took advantage knew it was bug. Then they told their alliance mates so they too could rush to complete it. They knowingly exploited a bug and it's just ignored. At the very least they should have those champs ranked down and not refunded the ISO or gold spent leveling past r3.

    The ones who knew and did it are alot of end game community and those willing to spend to get it done got to abused it.

    People who are already devloped??
    The end game players duhhh!!!!

    and you said you dont care because it doesnt effect you!!!

    But it effects people like me who play against these people, and they have an edge on rankups!!!

    It was a bug and kabam needs to do right thing and fix it, and correct the real rewards that was suppose to be given when u 100% it.

    And you say its no intended?
    Was it intended to give u a non “2015” ranknup gem?

    The rewards was intended to be what was said when they was released before the event even started!!!!

    The people who used this glitch gems know damn well what they was doing.


    Your comment

    “They can't just let it ride for everyone because everyone should get the same thing.”

    You pretty much shot urself on the foot.

    This is what we are trying to say. But you are derailing this post.

    I'm not derailing it at all. You think people have to agree just to comment? I disagree with the reactions and the statements made.
    You say they knew damn well. How do you prove that? People do the Quest, they get the Rewards, which are a limited amount, and they can use them after earning them. How do you know what knowledge they had?
    I'm not even going to engage with a discussion about how I'm not on your level. The issue is free for everyone to discuss, and if one more Domino is going to throw people off that much, how are they in the Top to begin with?

    GroundedWisdom it’s not that you don’t have an argument (well it’s mostly that) but you’re Kabam’s lapdog. Until the MD nerf you were always the 1st person to say “get good” whenever anyone complained it was broken, you defended the changes to interacting with Mordo with BOTH Drax and Blade, defended the Spark-Danger Sense tweak

    AND! I am above going back to the instance I’ve already cited were using ilgottenrewards was grounds for the reversal of said rewards

    This feels like Kabam is telling us we should look at other games like Diablo immortal (lol bad joke), but you know... other games :) if im going to be ripped off i prefer not to know they are allowing it!
