    Why would anyone miss out? Join now, and if your alliance already finished, you'll get every alliance reward at the next reset. I'm pretty sure that's always how this has worked...

    Don't join late?

    I remember back when the first Civil War was running how everyone figured out how to make it on to make sure we could clear as fully on both sides as possible. That was truly the most fun I've ever had in a boss event.

    I joined 16 minutes after the event started because I had a work meeting. Is your argument really that I should have ignored work to join a game?

    EDIT: and my alliance had already finished all 8 rounds. So I have no alliance rewards.

    No one has confirmed that this will actually happen. Until a dev confirms this, it’s just a rumor.

    I mean if the reward is so valuable to you that it causes you distress to not have it perhaps. Or you could you know remember that it is just a matching gem game and that missing out on any reward is relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

    Rioting because they made another snafu on a boss event when that has become the norm seems pretty counter-productive to mental health.

    Yeah we'll have to wait and see. I didn't get any round reward covers either because by the time I joined the early joiners had already easily pushed it to the end.

    Same. Kind of annoying.

    Haha wow.. 180k for max alliance rewards ain't it normally 18 mil? Looks like someone missed a few zeros... I never moan but I have to say this is getting a bit silly now

    It’s all meaningless. It is just a game. But yet we’re still here talking about it.

    At the end of the day all most of want is an equitable solution which makes the least number of people feel like they’ve lost.

    With this now past 5 hours for the first sub and no solid announcements I am starting to think this is not getting reset. I guess maybe they might be looking at seeing if the everybody profits at the next stage happens? I would be OK with that and we just plow on but I guess we wait and see. Well I won't see until tomorrow now. There isn't a dull day with BCS for sure!

    No doubt, although reasonable minds will have very different ideas of what equitable means. I remember when we had the event snafu where some people were able to grind out an entire PvE in slice 1 because the devs screwed up the opening nodes and made the whole event available day 1. Some players wanted to roll back the rewards of anyone who participated, some wanted to leave things alone and others advocated for some blend of the two. I missed out on those rewards since I never play slice 1 but didn't begrudge those who got to double dip. Sometimes you win some extra stuff and sometimes you don't.

    I'll be okay with whatever is decided for this snafu. If those who finished early get extra rewards it isn't that big of a deal. If not also not a big deal. Rioting because of either is pants on head silly.

    @revskip 100%. And I think the real measure will be whether alliance rewards are attainable for those who haven’t yet received them, but should have. (Though I see boss events as a way to farm some extra CP in slow motion, and an easy way to gain some iso and refill my boosts, those are all minor).

    The bigger parts are folks with new rosters are already struggling. Round 8 bosses and a fledgling 3* roster don’t always play nicely. Those folks may never come close to max progression whereas normally they can keep up until somewhere in the 400,000-700,000 range. I’ll get personal progression by the start of day 2 with the current event assuming no reset.

    It’s a lot of factors at play. And I’m sure that’s why we haven’t seen any official response yet. But I wouldn’t be shocked by a reset of the event. The bigger question is when?

    You don't even have to kill the boss to get points. Put a decent amount of damage on him before your turn ends and then retreat. You'll keep the points and it'll go towards personal progression. If anything it's much easier to do it early on while the side nodes are super easy.

    Just give alliance progression rewards to those that missed them and keep the event up so that everyone can work on personal progression

    Reset has happened, no sign of the alliance rewards.

    No, I think they normally post on the unofficial Reddit first.

    (Seriously. The offical forum is always the last to know.)

    Do they get all the previous round rewards if they complete a boss fight? I really thought there was a way to do this before, but maybe I was wrong.

    Or maybe there was a way to do it before and they've broken it!

    Demiurge used to have a hamster(?) running the show. I wonder what animal BCS brought in? It got to be much bigger than a hamster because the impact it causes is big. Guinea Pig? Beaver? Capybara?
