250- 300 units
5*shards 5000 6* 2000
level 5 health portion x 5
team revive level 2 x 2
100,000 gold
and any other additional t4cc or t4bc or t5bc
Now, the bug fallout extended through 2 matchmaking cycles. So 2 wars some couldn't play at all. That's lost shards, gold, and loyalty. However, that's also items NOT being spent (such as boosts, HPs, and revives). The initial loop bug that was experienced during war #7 could easily have lead to excess items being burned unnecessarily as the fight kept resetting. Time that the game was down. For some that was upwards of 5+ hours, which could've been their primetime to play MCoC. So that's potential Units, and BCs that could've been earned lost from Arena, and in turn, ranking for shards.
There's more that needs to be taken into consideration, like all those who burned excessive items in wars that didn't count towards Season. The AQ cycle rewards that were compromised for some due to the loop bug. The items that may've been used in vain in AQ in an attempt to clean up before the system was sent into Emergency Maintenance. Solo Quest items burnt in vain during the loop bug, and rewards being tied up for extended periods of time. I'm sure I'm forgetting other details as well, but that's a LOT to consider.
Kabam isn't throwing these packages together haphazardly because there's a LOT of factors here. Just slamming together some random tiered compensation packages would undoubtedly lead to massive complaints. Then again, that's probably gonna happen either way. Some will never be happy, and others will be simply because SOMETHING was done.
I said this elsewhere, and I'm gonna say it again... this is a grand opportunity for Kabam to show the players some love. I wouldn't expect the world here. Full 6* crystals, R3-R4 gems don't fall under things that could reasonably been acquired during said time. Now, while either would indeed be welcomed by the community as a gesture on Kabam's part, but it's hardly something that should be expected.
Where they go from here is remained to be seen, and it will inevitably take time as they're still repairing things. I'm certain this conversation will continue up until the day the compensation is announced and/or received. In the meantime, be aware that they REALLY have their work cut out for them and that patience is a virtue. Hopefully, once all is said and done, the majority will be satiated by whatever Kabam sends out. Otherwise, a new thread filled with complaints will follow.
Need to give specifics to what was lost/spent (it won't be specific to each person but at least replace what was likely either lost or missed out on) and then a little something to sweeten the pot. Nothing big like a free 6*. That's ridic. But half a 5* like suggested isn't unreasonable in this state of the game and is more saying "This was a pain so here's a little something more."
I'd say something like a free month of the sigil for everyone (so an added month to those subscribed and free month for those not) could be a fair balance, but I don't have it so I don't recall the specifics of it all to really weigh how fair one way or another that'd be
My $40/hr free time was accurate.
You can't value time like that when it comes to an exchange of services. Otherwise, when I spend two hours watching a movie in a theater they'd end up owing me money, because my time value is higher than the cost of the movie. This is supposed to be a ridiculous notion to anyone with common sense.
And the results were a median amount. And if you want to get technical, watching a movie can relieve stress, take u on a mental vacation, etc. Stuff that can be difficult to value that you haven't even thought about.
"Time is money" , "Time is probably the most valuable asset you have." Your value is different than others.
I was just typing that up...doing an average, my goodness, whoever came up with that ideal shouldn’t be asked to contribute towards decisions like this.
They just lost so many players who spend from the whole rebalancing, otherwise they’d have never backed off from it, and now this?
Man, Kabam, you guys should be finding ways to get your customers excited to log in, not finding ways to disappoint them, and punishing them for mistakes not there’s, that is the absolute worst thing a company could do to a customer
