Are the devs/d3 actually getting/reading this feedback?Is there any talk of people getting the full shards they should have received or any secondary character shards? My guess: they are waiting on financial/usage data to see if corrective action, if any, is necessary. That's why we haven't heard anything.Bottom line: The company currently sells shards for cash - giving away shards is like giving away money - they won't do it unless it is necessary.

That is a very short shighted view. Giving away *some* shards (which are locked per-character and cannot ever be used until they reach a certain total) is a great way to seem generous, while actually locking players into a long haul grind that will be less rewards and push spending harder than the old system.

If this case were to be presented to the jury, it's highly likely that the jury will award the win to the dev.1. Players can apply comic covers to their characters to increase or unlock their power levels.2. Shard is a system or feature where it allows players to be able to work towards the heroes they have favorited, but also see exactly how far they are away from getting that next cover.Shard is similar to points earned when consumers use credit cards. When the consumers reach a certain milestone, like 8000 reward points, they can use it to redeem things like shopping vouchers. However, they can't go around saying that shopping vouchers are 8000 rewards points.In this case, the players can redeem a selected 5* cover with 500 character-specific shards.However, based on some of the cases that I came across, the devs loses if they decided to go down this route of technicality.My guess would be elder players will get an additional 1000 5* shards, if they decided to choose the middle ground. (6 covers / 2 = 3 covers).4* and below players will get their Mighty Tokens and their secondary 4* shards.I guess they could separate the rewards based on shield rank.

Wait, who is going to Court and for what!!?!? Otherwise why do we have a jury?
HoundofShadow said: 2) I think the team might want to get a lawyer or logician to vet your update or post. Even though I've been here for only 2 years, but the reactions from here are really predictable.We have been through a number of mini-sagas where players in here nitpick the words being used by the team. If the team is not going to define those words, the players in here will define it for you and once they define it, you have to stick with their definitions. When that happens, whatever subsequent explanations by you will be dismissed as excuses. Please remember many players in here live in only a black and white world. In the future, define words where you think players in here will use their own definitions. If necessary, use a Venn Diagram or Logic tree to make the idea clearer. The post won't look as sexy as in the past, but when you are posting in a forum filled with lawyers, they are simply not interested in sexy stuff.

gascangascan said: Mikbro81 said: Still no response? Ok.... You also need to factor in - how much of their time is devoted to discussing this. Do they have a meeting with key decision-makers later today? This week? If they are still deciding what to do - and they have no deadline - then there is nothing to report.In addition: they want to keep players happy - but they also don't want to appear as if they fold to discontent - so their silence is somewhat strategic.

Bc if they're gonna pull what they did this time, then I rather not continue leveling up 4* and just hoard. It has been asked several times. I tagged ice asking how we can expect 4*-5* feeders to be handled in the future. Nothing but crickets. It astounds me that there is this huge rollout, we were promised more info on the forums and we have almost no information on this and no one here to answer very legitimate questions such as this.
