We apologize for the inconvenience. The team discovered a technical limitation with how it is set up in the game, which is unfortunately preventing them from implementing this temporary halving of the skip opponent cost.
Merrick said: The win bonus/skip cost is a global variable. So rather than give us what you promised and a small bonus of +60/-5 for a couple of days of regular pvp, you decided it was better to make yourself a liar. As they say, better to under promise and over deliver than the other way around. Obviously as a company you still don't understand that.
Either everything you guys said was a lie this whole time or you just have the most forgiving supervisor in existence. I would have fired you all for sheer incompetence. And everything you do makes me glad I quit spending a year ago.
I was just getting to the point where I thought I might spend a little again............NOPE!

If they publish something early and something changes, they get absolutely crucified with unreasonable vitriol. Even if you don't like the situation, there is just no need to be nasty about it.

You are right that announcing information too early can cause headaches for demi because players do form expectations and do lash out irrationally sometimes.That sucks, players should generally try to be polite with criticism.But some criticsm IS warranted here. Double iso is one of the consistently best things about anniversary. It is also a feature that has been implemented in the past and should be well understood by the dev team. There is basically no obvious reason that demi should not have known these facts befire making any announcements, so i don't feel to bad about holding demi to those anmouncements.Plus there is a pretty long history of poor customer support around anniversary time. Anniversary 1 in 2014 was just about the only one that went without a hitch. And of course the dev team took all of 3 hours to fix a mistake that cost them 5* covers (i.e. revenue). Would it really have killed demi to just double the victory bonus and halve the skip tax for all pvp events for 24 hours?
