edited October 2014 in MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues
I updated to the latest version around 11:00AM EST.

Since that time, my Red/Yellow Boost is showing a negative quantity. I am able to add them to any attack at no cost and the negative count just increases. I have done this once so far.

Anyone else seeing this kind of behavior post update?

    Its not just negative boost numbers. I lost some +1/All boosts and gains 30 +1 Y/R and +1 G/B ones.

    Basically certain people are getting free boost and not having to pay for them.
    I am not sure what phones and what operating systems, but it is a very unfair competitive advantage for some people, and well D3P will be losing some money. I think they might fix this problem soon.

    I didn't notice until I had -13 B/P AP. Used 3 to see what would happen and it ended up at -16. But I also bought 10 All AP with 1 already in the tank and it showed up as -11. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure. But when I used +3 All AP, it deducted 3 from 11. Now I show -8.

    I've bought boosts since the update and they didn't show up as negative numbers while playing lightning rounds and PvP. I feel like it's only been occurring since the Ock event started.

    Adding on to my last post: I had -8 All AP. Won a stockpile from PvE progression rewards. Now I have 30 All AP.

    Also, just quit the game and restarted. Now my -13 B/P AP is at 30 too.

    I'm playing on an iPad iOS 7.1.2

    Used +3 B/P AP and +3 All AP. That took me from 30 AP to 15 AP for both. This bug is making me wonder how broken other aspects of the game are.

    LG G2. Kitkat 4.4.2

    Playing with negative boosts. I got some and when they were at 1 they suddenly jumped to -19, and not using them just makes that number more negative.

    Just went to play a match, had about 9 x +1 all AP boosts but when I tried to start the match it said "cannot break shield, unable to reach servers" or something like that. When I came back to the screen I've got ZERO +1 to all AP boosts.

    ...so I decided to use my +20% match damage boosts instead and even though I only used 3 of my stock (not sure how many I had, but a decent number) it then showed me having none following the match.

    Considering how valuable these boosts are now, this is a major issue. I'm playing on a Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.4.2

    I've seen multiple instances of boosts getting added and subtracted.

    I've had to spend 100hp twice in two matches because my 10x +1 all AP boosts just vanished.
    This morning I wake up and I have 30x +1 all AP boosts out of nowhere rather than the 7 I should have.

    These changes seem entirely random so far...best I can tell they change during the match rather than randomly between matches. (steam player here)

    Any chance that the server isn't updating correctly and adding back the boosts you thought you'd lost... but just much later? I raised a ticket but don't hold out much hope that my boosts will be refunded (I'd guess giving out some token hero points would be easier... but still unlikely).

    I have discovered something that can be heavily exploited but I assume posting the details on a public forum would lead to a ban.
    It doesn't take much to figure out and I'm sure others have found it out long ago but needless to say, this boost issue should take top priority to repair ASAP.

    Open a ticket. But yeah most people are playing with free boosters

    Wish I was, I spent 100hp more on new boosters which all disappeared when I used 2 of them. Not happy.

    I too have had this happen, losing +all ap boosts, +coloured ap boosts being negative. I am on steam.

    I only wish I'd been one of the people whose +1 ALL boosts had gone into the negatives. Mine just went to zero. Thankfully, I have two colours in negative quantities, and they're adequate. Still, would be nice to have all those +1 ALL boosts I'd been saving. I've also lost my criticals and my all damage boosts. I've sent them a complaint but I get the feeling they won't be dealing with this before the PVP is over.

    I really hope I get my stuff back.

    This bug just now hit me this afternoon. Went into a match using 3 of my plus all. Came out to them all gone but now I have 30 red yellow blue green.

    This is on a iPad air with ios 8

    Edit. Also the next game the client crashed causing me to lose the Match. This hasn't happened on this iPad before. Not sure related.

    Playing on steam and exactly the same issue. My red/yellow and green black went negative then after a restart went to 30, my blue/pinks were unaffected and my +1/all's kept disappearing after using 4 total across 2 matches (+2 then +2) and after rebuying same deal (was using at the end of the PvP to hop). So CS got a ticket about those cause they cost me HP icon_e_smile.gif.

    Don't know when I updated as steam does it auto-magically and only got the problem this evening (UK time).

    Glad that some people are getting free boosts but it's the opposite for me. After each time I use a boost, I lose like 10 additional ones. 2 uses of my +20% damage to all boost dropped them from 25 to 9, to 0. Using a stack of 3 +1 colour to all boosts, dropped them from 16 to 0, same with my }1 red and yellow, from 19 to 0. Any official update on this?

    It happened to me the first time I used plus 1 to all colors. Anyone else remember what boosts you used before it happened?
