Sludge Pup...Boost or no Boost?

[Jnsolberg]

My guild completed the Beneath the Mud GLTQ. We won the "Sludge Pup."
The splash screen does not show any bonus associated with this unit. Under my bonuses in my profile, the Sludge Pup shows +0 (null)
A reply from Gree Support states:
I would like to inform you that, if you complete "Heroic Guild: Beneath the Mud (15/15), you will received a bonus rewards of "Sludge Pup +8% Beast Defense.
Signed, Eric GREE support

What is going on here? The last ILTQ had no bonus with it, but all of a sudden it has one. (Monkey Knight, +10% Magic Defense). This was not advertised, it just showed up @ a week later.

GREE, you need to get your act together. You can't change things up after the fact.
I do believe that these LTQ units need a boost. After all, these LTQs are a lot of time and effort.

You can't publish they there is no boost, thus discouraging peepe from doing the LTQ, then suddenly adding a boost for those who did it anyway.

I totally agree, tanks for bringing it up. Seems its now even too hard to add a Bonus ajnd advertise it as well. :confused:

[Totalwar]

Yep got the same null on bonus for sludge pup please fix as soon as possible Gree.

[the_bob]

Don't hold your breath. We all know that Gree does not fix their mistakes. They just ignore them.

Remember the Glade Sniper? If you logged in at the right time and got the bugged one you get to keep it, but if you didn't, tough ṣhit.

Remember the Sky Pirate? Gree said they would remove them. Some people did get them removed, others kept them and still have them to this day. Oh, well.

The list goes on.

[Peter Raistlin Majere]

Bob, u r right :(

[GetItFixed]

Gree fixed a lot of things lately. So Bob is just bitter.

The Glade Sniper was never meant to be fixed anyway and every player on my rivals list has it, so if ur just as active to log in every week or two, don t blame Gree and stop whining.:rolleyes:

What is the bugged Glade Sniper?

[The red Baron]

On the splash sreen of the GLTQ there was no bonus for the sludge. Why does GREE mess up such things.
A lot of guilds will not have tried to finish as there was no bonus visible and the ltq is hard in holiday time..

[GetItFixed]

Even better for the always active guilds. :D

[Totalwar]

I seen a reply from Gree stating there is a bonus and the was a mistake care to comment please Taa

[Alex KA]

Tadaaah,

Purple Squirrel put it very nicely.

There have been two quests (Summon M for Monkey and Beneath the Mud) which were advertised in game with no bonus, but apparently have boosts.

Some guilds and individual players decide whether to pursue a quest based on whether there is a bonus or no bonus.

Providing an unannounced boost is basically giving guilds/individuals an unfair game advantage.

I submitted a ticket on the Summon M for Monkey issue and was provided a pretty standard response that there is an undocumented boost and sorry for any inconvenience for choosing not to finish the quest.

It is much harder to correct a mistake once made, but I believe Gree has the ability to fix things and should fix it. Just an idea, but does Gree have the ability to script something to provide those that did not finish/chose not to finish the quest a very weak unit with a compensating boost which would effectively nullify the unadvertised quest boost?

[Totalwar]

No one received a boost that why this thread was made.But in our bonuses under boosts shows said boost as null.but again I not seen any said boost on a quest screen shot so there seems some confusion what going on.Gree support in a reply says there is a boost attached to this quest.But we seem to get ignored by our Gree forum support who could answer all theses questions.

I agree. I chose not to complete the iLTQ as I didn't see the point in using a heap of Gems to finish for a unit with 79k Atk. However I would have done so if I had known there was a Boost attached.

Simple solution, just do all Quests. :p

[mmalkove]

HaHa, someone mentioned the Sky Pirate again. Love it. Seriously give us our bonuses Gree, that was a lot of time spent.
And this is one reason our guild finishes every GLTQ within reason just in case, you never know with Gree. And if you finish early you may get a second Sky Pirate ;)

[Tadaaah]

Apologies for the delayed response.

Let us offer you our sincerest apologies in this miscommunication. As advertised in game, there will be no bonus on the item Sludge Pup. Rest assured that we will handle this miscommunication internally and do our best to work towards minimizing these errors with better communication pipelines. We want you to have the correct information in order to plan our your game strategy. Again, we will work on our end to ensure this doesn't happen in the future and apologies for the miscommunication.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding on this matter.

[GetItFixed]

Tadaaa, please thats not the way to handle it. when quest was still active ppl got responses from costumer service saying a bonus will be added. That information spread around in KA realm and to many guilds, so they decided to finish the GLTQ. I even received a mail from support 3 hours ago saying tze bonus will be added with nxt data deploy/push. Now to tell us there is no Bonus, although the units shows already in Bonus sections woth +0 is really annoying. Many won t he happy with this call. Thx anyway for clarification.

[Lady Of Light]

Gree has an endless supply of apologies which have largely become rhetorical. Players were told during the event there would be a boost. Now, AFTER the fact, we're informed there will be no bonus. Gree needs to do the right thing and honor what GREE personnel, speaking on behalf of the company, told players during the quest. Then, deal internally with any miscommunication, and how to prevent it in the future.

[Alex KA]

Tadaaah,

Thank you for the clarification on the Sludge Pup and that no boost as advertised in game is being applied contrary to the CSR e-mails that were telling everyone of an 8% beast defensive boost.

I did not see clarification of the Monkey Knight for Summon M for Monkey which was also advertised as no boost in game; however, there were also CSR emails after the quest was completed that indicated a 10% magic defensive boost.

Is Gree being consistent and awarding no boosts for both quests or inconsistent?

Same problem with two quests within less than a week.

Please clarify.

Whether I agree/disagree with boost/no boost for Sludge Pup, more important to me is that Gree's actions are consistent.

Good Joke, keep on dreaming. How long you are playing this game? 2 weeks? :rolleyes:

Says the guy who's been on the forum less than a month. Your posts are just as helpful as most trolls that reside here. And you have an awful lot of lip toward our senior members without due cause. Please think before you type and keep it constructive.

Ignore the guy unless he finally decides to bring something of use to the forums

[Totalwar]

Ho well another round of iTunes claims incoming Gree and lost profits for you.yes iTunes giving refunds again for another Gree cock up.apple had enough of losing money too and they could start looking at pulling the plug on Gree games.

You better check out my Thread about the "Defense Boost Issue" that happened after u attacked a rival. But prop that is way to high for you to even understand and/or notice. Issue was fixed cause of this btw. And now keep on going to believe you have any clue of KA. ;)

Yeah, i am sure thats what all KA players want, that apple pulling the plug??? People are claiming refunds over and iver for things that Gree actually fixed(like the hacker war). And then they use the reclaimed miney to buy more gems and continue playing. Those are the real cheaters and not any better than hackers. Pathetic....

[KarenWill]

Well well that was expected

[Krayt]

With this issue I think you guys have no one really to blame but yourself.

When you went in game and got the splash screen there was never a bonus listed. So there was no need to start an email to Gree about it. If you don't want an unboosted 100k unit then don't do it. My guild did the quest without ever thinking there was supposed to be a boost. It's people that get greedy that start these problems, because on face value there wasn't supposed to be anything more. Yes Gree is at fault for some emails saying there would be an added bonus. However, you have all played this game long enough to know that they aren't the best at following through.

Blame Gree all you want for this one but the real blame lies within yourself. Splash screen claimed no bonus, never did. There was never an official response from Gree it would be added. You jumped to conclusions when a response in a few emails said there would be.

Sorry, krayt. I frequently agree with your position, But I disagree here. After the quest was finished, a boost apeared so emails to Gree questioning a unit with a zero boost. The response was that there WILL be a boost.

At that point the information was shared and many on the fence went ahead and completed . Now Taadaaah is saying no boost. You guys need to get your act together and stand by the message. If emails are sent from support indicating a boosts, then implement the boost. Plain and simple.

[Krayt]

Gal, I thought the email was sent prior to completion?
I heard vaguely about the boost in groupme but never asked because splash screen never said there was a boost. So my guild completed the quest to get a 100k unit. Not sure about others, but that unit is huge in my collection. A boost is always nice but never expected to get one.

As for the email being shared, well I see now why Gree doesn't like us sharing their emails....
It sucks that Gree employees aren't all on the same page. However, this quest was worth completing for the unit. The boost just would be a nice bonus
