Apparently the steam people have been doing this for sometime…so I mean recompense to a degree. Also, I am going to feel bad for those that aren’t engaged in discord, Reddit, this forum, etc…they are just playing thinking they are doing nothing wrong…enjoying getting rewards….happy…then bam!!! Roll back!!! I might be inclined to go elsewhere.

Exactly. And ... even worse ... for a week or two on Steam ... the daily vault drop for the Pride vault was being doubled ... so, not only would a token drop after every startup, depending on characters used, two tokens were dropping.

As it happened, I had cleared that vault on day one, as I failed to notice it wasn't resettable (derp). And that was before being put upon by the Unity bug supercluster.

So ... when that vault finally expired, I had 103, IIRC, tokens for the post-vault. Something like 3.5x as many as I "should" have had?

Gamma tester pay, I says.

Well said. Good on you for sharing that experience. This is also a time when they could choose to lean into it and make try to make something good instead of choosing to stir up further bad feelings.

When I filter my roster by that very first selection, the one that usually indicates I have covers or shards available, I have 32 characters in there who have no covers or shards waiting to be used. All of them are ascended 1, 2, and 3* characters.

Also something about the way all the UI is being animated is making me kind of nauseous; I assume the motion curves are different so it could just be 3400 days of seeing it behave one way, and then it suddenly behaving another. I'll see how it goes over time.

What a buggy and laggy iOS update. I give it 5 👎🏼.

Chucked out of game again. 3 out of 5 matches. Not looking great right now. 🙁

Don't worry, they'll just roll you back for your trouble.

I sure wish they rolled the whole "new engine launch" back!

What does this mean? Should we not play the daily Crash then if available?

You can still play it without worrying since the Crash resets everyday vs exploiting the bug and forcing a reset.

"Forcing" a reset?

The game resets and has to reload if I sit my phone down for more than a minute or two.

I need to create Strike or Protect tiles for the Season Quests, and that requires playing a bunch of matches with BRB, R5G, and Polaris, two of whom will gift me a FF token if I use them.

Because I don't really play for placement (anymore), but I don't want to screw over my placement too much, I just hit the first node in the current PvE sub but I have to hit it multiple times to create 150 SAP tiles (or however many it was).

So I hit the node once or twice, set my phone down to do some work, pick it back up to play another quick match and progress the challenge a little more, and the game has to reload.

Okay, that's another free FF token just for literally playing the game and completing the Quests. Thanks, I guess.

"Defeat 21 foes with Juggernaut (Fear)" Same process. Play the first node in the Sub with Juggs, Chasm, and Thanos, and because I'm using Juggs, literally a required character for the Quest, I get another FF token.

Because the game does NOT stay open in the background, I've gotten approx. 20 'bonus' tokens just from playing the game and completing the Challenges.

Exploiting? Hardly. Fix your game.

I do not know how, but I've updated to R325 (new app icon, release notes say "welcome to the new engine") but still everything is running in the app as R323 - I see new characters, I see new covers, I see the new vault and Event Quests keep updating . . . what limbo have I fallen into ?

Too lazy to read through every page, my .02; on Android the game is waaaay to bouncy. It's like Poochy... To the extreme.... Hopefully they fix that and bring back the persistent back button on Android...

This whole update reminds me of that South Park episode where Mr. Mackey buys a new computer program to run the school, but every time he tries to do something it creates bigger and bigger bugs until he eventually just gets rid of it altogether.
