Oh well, I'm glad I didn't spend BILLIONS, but it does suck when GREE fixes a problem and causes another problem.
I'm not holding my breath for the weapons bought from the S/LTQ to be returned or any compensation at all... just one of those GREE things.Line ID: clementine88

The weapons that were accidentally removed with this have been added back to everyone's inventories. Thank you all for your patience. We apologize for the frustration and confusion caused by this.

Next time Gree comes up with a solution that leads to more issues can you pre announce issue and solution at least 24-48 hrs in advance? There are plenty honest players that would have told you what you might be doing.
It sounds like you lost experienced team members who would have realized the implications. Don't you have a sign off system to approve such type changes?
If you ran a script unless you have the players affected data not sure how you can restore all affected players including me.

Tadaaah,
Thank you for your help in resolving this!
Since it's impossible for me to remember and check every item I purchased, I just checked the two items in my two threads above, the chain and the launcher. Both are now back, including the mod on the chain. So thank you!

Here's a more thorough breakdown of what happened:
7/18 - Servers went down for roughly 30 minutes.
7/21 - We received cheat reports with screenshots of players who had 2x prizes that were not possible to have 2 of. We looked at logs of players' inventories and discovered that after the server issue on 7/18 some Syndicate LTQ prizes were duplicated in players' inventories. The prizes duplicated were random and could be from any Syndicate LTQ since the start of Syndicate LTQ's. This made it harder for us to locate and remove those duplicated items.
7/23 - We ran a script that looked at all past Syndicate LTQ items that players had in their inventories and reduce the quantity to 1. We forgot to account for the Syndicate LTQ's that allowed players to purchase the items in addition to earning them by completing goals. Whoops. Our bad.
7/24 - We ran a second script that looked at players' inventories before we ran the duplicates removal script and restored the items. This means that players who purchased these Syndicate LTQ items should have them back in their inventory now. This also means that players who did not purchase these Syndicate LTQ items but had them duplicated by the server error will also have them again. As there is no way for us to tell whether or not the items were purchased or simply duplicated, players can go ahead and keep these items. For those lucky enough to receive this stat boost, congratulations.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused you. Let us know if you have any other questions.

And what recourse do players have that have yet to have their items restored? I know of at least two high stat items that I purchased and also received from doing the SLTQs that the second items have not been returned. My stats are still down roughly 3 mill so I assume there are other items as well.

I didn't receive all my items..it appears you only replaced items from the last SLTQ only. Before you took my weapons I was at 154 mil attack. I went down to 148 mil and am now at 151 mil......still 3 mil short. Did you see my list of items noted a few posts ago?

Tadaaah and TheOracle,
After checking against the past syn prize list, apparently not all items are returned. One example is Floyd's Hardcore Helm. It was purchasable in one of the SLTQs for 1.996 billion. I had two before, but now I only have one. Previously I checked two weapons from two SLTQs that took place in Feb. and Mar., respectively, and these were restored. The helmet was from the SLTQ in the beginning of June and it is still missing. Maybe the 2nd script missed the latest SLTQs?
Could you ask your programmers to take a look at the second script run that was supposed to restore inventory to the pre-first-script time? Something is still amiss.
Thank you!Last edited by hotterthanyourgf; 07-24-2014 at 10:36 PM.

Let it go like GREE let this one go... They did the right thing and let a few players get some free items; it'll balance out & nobody became a beast overnight from a few duplicate LTQ items.
If you don't know your units (heck knows I don't) or can't remember because you do have a life, then whatever is missing or recieved probably isn't a big deal... just saying.
Best to keep playing like nothing ever happened and keep enjoying your life & the app.Line ID: clementine88
