I’m not asking for compensation, free tokens, free covers etc.
I’m asking for a sale instead. Stark Salary bumped up to 40,000 Hero Points for the usual price of USD99. Yes, I want to give you money for your server crash instead of asking things from you.
But we should be compensated. Anyone playing on later shards can’t go for pvp progression, rank and is having the season score hurt compared to anyone who had its shard ended by the time of the crash.
It does seem like about time for a sale. I need a to buy some more roster slots. Ooh, maybe a free roster slot instead given what has been said about the next big (tiny) event.
lost out on my hulkbuster from top gun.. could not do my hop this morning before work.. now each fight i try, i get slammed with 2 losses when i win.. everyone is scrambling and no-one is making any progress..
A free roster slot would be good, obviously this would in hero point terms be different for each player but at least it would be useful compared to say tokens. Personally I would settle for a few thousand ISO and a few hero points. D3Go need to realise that in a bid to bolster customer relations they need to loosen the purse string for any outages no matter how small.
The server went down on the eve of an event launch; put it down to experience, move on and expect the same next time. I went to the key cutter last week, its was quite annoying, he had gone out for lunch minutes before I arrived. When he got back I didn’t demand 10 keys and a long written apology, I got my key cut and made a mental note not to go back when he might be on lunch.
Good thing your house wasn’t on fire, giving you a specific finite amount of time to get the key cut, get back home, get into the house, and use your only phone to call for a fire truck…
Sorry, I did my best to make that analogy somewhat congruent with this scenario, but I’m still not sure it’s even close.
So MPQ players need to make a mental note that the servers WILL go down on the eve of a major PVE launch. Are you asking the players to skip PVP and PVE altogether on the eve so that they won’t get disappointed by server crash? Or are you asking them to join earlier slices or rush to get progression rewards as early as possible?
If you can add content or do maintenance to a server without some down time I have a lot of friends who would be very interested in speaking to you.
I am looking forward to the Ant-Man event and with new content comes integration. They could just sit on the two events they have, but players complain about that as well.
My pvp was effected by the downtime, but such is life.
I think you guys are silly for considering giving them extra money for being incompetent. I think they should make me a job offer, because I’m certain I could do a better job. Depending on the pay, I’d consider that fair compensation.
this last ultron was ideal. between seasons and while some pvp’s/pve’s got messed up, it wasn’t season stuff. and the ultron itself was for a couple of bottom feeder characters (marvel is ok, but I haven’t found a use for vision). downing the server (if on purpose) to implement antman while large chunks of the player base are shielded and trying to get to THE most coveted cover in the game right now (imhb red), I think that is just a little idiotic. accidents happen but every implementation of something new has issues. at this point they should develop the ability to freeze the game, timers and all. everything gets extended, including event ending times, pve refreshes, pvp shields, etc. by the amount of down time. that would go a long ways toward minimizing adverse affects. because every time something new happens, problems happen. and I enjoy new events, and I understand accidents, but a token and some iso/hp (unless its a LOT more than normally done) does not make up for a shot at imhb red.
