Sadly, this is also why I can't just uninstall the and pretend I never put any time and money into it. The time it consumes is outrageous especially right now when every single event is a PvP grindfest.
I understand being frustrated, but I don't think compensation is warranted - for the current bug, at least.
Everyone is affected equally, meaning it shouldn't have an effect on ranking - if anything, it made the event slightly easier. I joined in Platinum a day after it started, for example, lost a few matches, and still managed to get the full progression rewards and will probably get some jewels from my individual rank.
I have heard about a few people who have faced a second broken node, which is a different case, but I don't know how widespread this is/was.

In the groups I am affiliated with, several people per coalition are being affected, and thus it is also affecting coalition rankings. I managed to dodge a mine this week, but it hit me last week. We had people who lost a 2nd node to this bug THIS MORNING with one charge left. I have to admit, it was a harrowing feeling to have to play these nodes knowing that at any time it could freeze and your game was done. It's like russian roulette, only with a stupid phone-app game that people keep playing because they've already invested so much time/ money. And it's MTG. MTG is super swick
From what I've heard it effected everyone equally, and I haven't heard any exceptions... But giving your claim the benefit of the doubt here, aside from the ideal of removing all glitches (which I'm guess if 2 different companies are struggling with it then it might be more complicated than just flipping a switch), they should at least put a program in place that could recognize when a player was glitched out of a game and restore their node slot, not damage their planeswalker, and maybe give a 50 rune gift as an "oops" apology. The trick with this is making sure the program could distinguish between actual glitches and loopholes players might try to use to abuse the courtesy (ex: shutting phone off mid-battle, etc).
They (Oktagon) can't go in there and just fix your node. If they could, they would have (I assume). Therefore, they should credit us 50 runes as adequate compensation for losing hundreds of Jewels and Crystals
.I would encourage you to share a good-sportsman-like perspective on the matter. After all, it is (in the end) just a game.
Kinesia said: And, yeah, the compensation is absolutely NOTHING to do with Oktagon, it's a d3go policy from long again, they do the support, they make the decision. Oktagon are trying, I wish they had time and resources to test things properly, but everyone is forced to get fixes out fast and they have unintended consequences, the bit they _can_ do is compensate people in the short term. They _need_ our good will. The staff we can actually talk to at d3go seem fine, but it souds like their upper managers have some pretty weird abusive business ideas and policies that the staff and us are forced to deal with.
