    Pretty ambiguous here. Can we get some sort of definitions like how many is an infraction? How long is it going to be before you get rolled back if you "broke the rule"? Because evidently the "exploit" has been known for some time...and I can understand why folks might be irritated if you roll back a roster where someone loses weeks of legitimate play...

    They're not going to give you a number, because that's just telling people how much to safely exploit it. If they're setting the cutoff at 5000, for example, there are players who will do it 4999 times.

    I've been getting anywhere from 2-4 tokens a day through just normal playing. Once I hit 10 tokens, I use them and clear the rest of the vault with HP every because, exploit or not, it's a really good vault. I've probably cleared it at least five times already.

    So would the rollback delete out all of the stuff that I got from the vault because I've emptied the vault several times already? Would I get the Hero points back?

    I'm betting there's also a pretty good chance that they aren't actually planning to roll anyone back, but this warning is a good scare tactic to make sure the people that were doing it stop doing it.

    Then let people have those 4999 tokens or whatever number they choose. That's the price of releasing a build that is obviously known to be broken and better than further antagonizing players who are already frustrated with the all the other issues like incredible lag.

    Great, then give me 4999 tokens too.

    Just log onto the game 4,999 times. :)

    Really just 2500, since their bug is there on both Fan Favorite and Winter in July.

    No give us all the tokens due to us by others cheating. Seems only fair or else they can give back their cheated earnings. Anything else sucks.

    No.

    The attitude about this is just completely backwards. Someone sitting there for 24 solid hours getting a token every 5 seconds is not ripping off the devs. They're not paying them back for a botched rollout. They're getting a significant advantage over ME, because I'm not going to sit there spamming the reset button for a whole day or whatever. Unless they're giving the tokens to everybody, they should roll back the people who are egregiously exploiting this.

    Then roll back all the cs cover swaps from before the new hp cover swap went live.

    YES PLEASE

    Reset all rosters.
    Give everyone 25 CP for each 5-star cover they have.
    Give everyone a Mighty token for every 4-star cover they have (including ascended)
    Give everyone a Heroic token for every 3-star cover they have (including ascended)
    Give everyone an Elite token for every 2-star cover they have (including ascended)
    Give everyone a Standard token for every 1-star cover they have (including ascended)

    Watch the fun begin...

    Edit - and MPQ just crashed on me again...

    Assuming you take one minute to log in and play a match you couldn’t have done it yet….5000 x with no sleep is 3.47 days.

    If there’s a person doing that great. Let em.

    It takes a few seconds at most.

    So what should we do now? Uninstall the game? Take a hiatus until this mess gets fixed?

    I don't want my account rolled back for being handed tokens I never wanted nor asked for. Yes, I do restart the game multiple times a day. What do you want me to do? The new engine is clearly a mess, there are bugs everywhere! I didn't ask for this.

    I suspect "a few times" is not what is happening here.

    Got it. Awful gameplay caused by the way too soon rollout of the new engine without enough testing is fine. CS not answering tickets for months at a time, absolutely okay. But any bug that might benefit users is an exploit. Seems like you folks really just want us all uninstall this game lately.

    It doesn't affect "users" though. It affects a presumably small group of players who are repeatedly force closing the app to farm hundreds of extra tokens. That's absolutely an exploit.

    If they gave 300 tokens to everybody in error that's a completely different thing. This isn't players getting one over on the devs, it's players getting one over on other players.

    How is this getting one over on other players? You can only get a character to 550. There is no "over" 550 that I know of at this time. So if someone is farming tokens, is this really affecting us at a high level in PVE or PVP? And, if so, shame on the devs for letting it even get into the wild.

    Personally, I haven't upgraded yet and refuse to do so until the last minute. But everything about it seems borked and really don't see how anyone should be punished for how bad it is.

    Of course it is. You're getting stuff that other players didn't get.

    If the resetter gets to keep his 5000 tokens, then they should give 5000 tokens to me too. I'd be fine with that!
