Daily Play Temporarily Disabled

S0kun

As we previously mentioned earlier this week, a bug that allowed for multiple Daily Play tokens shipped with Unity and was being exploited. We're not talking about a player who has the game crash that allowed for a single reset, but players who were intentionally resetting their games dozens of times to exploit the bug.

A hot fix was also released yesterday, but the bug is still exploitable if an update isn't done so in order to mitigate this, we're going to disable Daily Play tokens in our next data push until further notice.

During this time, you will not miss out on any potentially earned tokens because we'll be tallying the number of missed Daily Play Tokens from DDQ, Fan Favorite, and Winter in July vaults. Once we're confident the issue has been resolved, we'll be sending the total amount of missed tokens to all Unity players at a future date.

Yeah. This is all so broken.

A suggestion: carrots, not sticks, in a game where a significant portion of players are sitting on the edge.

Assuming the point we are waiting for is basically everyone being on Unity (possibly some future character will only be available in Unity? Maybe not? Maybe at some point some event will be unavailable?).

Anyway, maybe say when enough people move then you send every Unity player a free costume token, or costume, or a free cover of the newest 4. Something.

Well that sucks. Why punish everyone because of a select few aholes

I normally never comment on community post but this just pissed me off:

Strange such strong language isn't more specifically worded:

1. What is considered aggresious? 100, 200?
2. Why is this only mentioned on this forum where most of the community hardly visits. Only scouters and new players show up on a regular. Post this on your Socials as well or are you afraid of the already growing dissatisfaction getting a bigger base?
3. Push this warning thru the ingame news popup so NOBODY can plead plausible deniability.
4. What metrics are you using? How would you discern some 5* shard winnings from the current vaults from 5* shards that would stem from your mentioned "exploit".
   You need to stipulate allot more then threatening what a roll back hammer.

Focus on polishing the game, instead applying team resources on monitoring a loophole, your team left there to begin with.

This is great news! I don't have to remember to win a game with Ghostpool or a Winter in July character for a while.

What is the punishment? You are still getting all the tokens from daily plays. This is good news, I don't need to play their buggy game. Not sure what changed, but after day 1 of the new engine the game has gotten worse in terms of lag, crashes, speed of tiles drops and opening up tokens show the wrong character getting pulled sometimes, nothing has gotten better the more I play as previously stated.

Not really punishment if they're paying back.

If only the game wasn't so broken, these discussions wouldn't be an issue

Wow, what a completely responsible and understandable way to handle the issue.

Patched the high priority issue within 24 hours AND disabled the feature until you were sure it was solved AND going to still reward the community the prizes while they are disabled.

ALMOST makes us forget the completely threatening and accusatory way the devs released a vague announcement and then bounced 24 hours ago after having known about the issue for several weeks or longer from beta testing and steam unity engine launch. ALMOST. 🤏

I always use 3* Deadpool in Dat Req Char and 5* Deadpool in Big Enchilada so I again used them today and got my points and token. Im all patched and updated so am I misunderstanding the post?

Also, I was under the impression the bug or bugs was allowing daily repeats of the crash or crashes in ddq and fan favs vault every open/close or app crash and nothing else. Had no idea it was all the daily plays. Wild.

The most resonable thing to do given the circumstance.

Given that I and multiple others are being thrown out of the game regularly can you also suspend the retreat health tax? On top of everything else it feels pretty bad to be punished for just trying to play the game. I mean surely that isn't exploitable?!?! Although who knows given these past few days...

Just to follow this up - I just healed Apocalypse - went to go and do a battle in Arcade PvP - game tried to put down Arcade traps, couldn't do it, froze so now I have to restart and not only does that count as a loss but I pay the retreat health tax without so much as matching a single tile, Frustrating.

That sounds like the right call given the situation. That said, it’s a bit disappointing that the initial response was to wag a finger at players who used an "exploit" that was created (and left unpatched) by the dev team for quite a while. It stayed live for days, even after being widely known, and it’s understandable that some players saw that as fair game. Glad to hear missed tokens will be compensated fairly once it's all resolved.

It sounds like the Devs are fire fighting million issues right now and perhaps prioritised other, perhaps more urgent issues?

This is the official forum. Official is sort of a clue.

What is a "scouter"? Practically everybody who posts here are years long vets, some of which were year one players.

Agree a pop up in game would be useful but will also probably break the game right now.

Ghostpool tokens are still being awarded. I didn't check to see if they can be framed.

Step 1: Take a screenshot of the token reward screen.

Step 2: Print your glorious victory notification on a high quality printer.

Step 3: Buy a nice frame, maybe something with a black frame. Place printout carefully in the frame, be sure to center it.

Step 4: Tell the wife the family photos will need to move so everyone can remember that day you earned a Ghostpool token.

Step 5: Hang your moment of victory in your man cave.

At first, I was like "that's a lot of snark coming from bluewolf", but then I saw the last word of my post and lit into J Jonah Jameson histrionics.

While I'm sure your dev team would have preferred to be working on other issues/enhancements, I appreciate your taking this approach so that my normal gameplay behavior wouldn't have resulted in my getting my account rolled back. Thank you.
