you get to keep the units but with the "correct" bonus

then he isn't telling the truth. because i don't have the unit that i won. i have a different unit now.

just makes it easier for everyone to get refunds.

With all due respect, at this point it does not matter what GREE does to "correct" the situation as on the eyes of ALL players it is clear that GREE accomplished their main goal which was to make players SPEND real CASH in the game, it does not matter if you refund the gold or energy spent and give us extra refills................................

I am sure that 100% of the players that used REAL CASH on the event, would have NEVER spend that cash if they new what the "correct" bonuses were.

So for me and probably all players, this was a typical GREE Bait and switch to increase GREE's revenues and try to meet month end revenue goals

[Pidgeot]

I obviously missed this but would appreciate an explanation of what got taken away and why?

For the Normal Speed 1 through 5 goals, There were health regen boost and energy regen boost there. 15/15 prestige had a -9% health regen boost there so there was a total of -12% you could get and a +7% energy regen time. The first goal (1/5) had to be completed in 2 hours if you wanted it. They then took it away.

It wasn't a display error because the boost did work (the health did anyway).

Hello Modern Warriors,

You've probably seen me around the forums, mostly just posting information; however this time I wanted to make sure that we made a clear statement on a recent issue this weekend considering the BURST ATTACK EVENT.

Originally the event items were meant to be:

Burst Striker +2% Air Defense
Burst Warrior +6% Infantry Attack
Burst KONG +1% Fight Valor Payout
Burst Hunter +1% Missions Payout
Burst Tornado +1% Raid Valor Payout
Burst Ranger +1% Raid Payout
Burst Juggernaut +3% Sea Attack
Burst Giga Wing +1% Double Strike
Burst Dragon Flame +3% Ground Attack
Burst Nuke Carrier +4% Sea Defense
Burst Breacher +4% Infantry Defense
Burst Mauler +5% Ground Attack
Burst Talos +6% Air Defense
Burst Warship +2% Alliance Attack

Unfortunately, a display issue showed something quite different. Considering this, here is what we will be doing to rectify:

During the hours of 3pm - 6:30pm PST, February 28th, 2016
Anyone who spent Gold on energy during that time will be refunded
Anyone who used Energy Refills during that time will be refunded
We will be awarding all those who spent gold on energy OR used energy during that time a complimentary 5 Energy Refills
We WILL NOT be removing the units gained (see above list) players received during that time

So when is this said load of crap solution of Gree going to take place?
What a joke!

Display issue. Same old story. If it was a display issue why did the items show in my inventory and as bonuses on my profile?

Further, I have received no compensation for the energy packs burnt and could not do prestige which I would have normally done.

Maybe if the developers spent more time developing the game instead of posting factually incorrect posts on the forum an event may go out without issues.

If I made this many mistakes in my job I would not have one!

Give us back the units that we rightfully earned.

[Ajk]

Lmao! It's like broken record. How many times have you all seen Gree do this and yet continue to allow them to do it to you time and time again? You get what you deserve you muppets.

The easiest answer to this AWARD THE UNITS THE PLAYERS WON NOT THE UNITS THAT YOU MEANT TO ISSUE
How are you going to know how many energy refills , gold / free gold each player has used when you can't even program the game right ? Players should not be punished for your mistakes

[smbass77]

this is GREE trying to cover their butts from the massive amounts of refund requests from IOS and Droid.

May be time to contact your State Attorney General and report GREE and their fraud. ADVERTISING a price for a product and than REMOVING it is illegal. Gree made a mistake and advertised the wrong product, that's their problem. Consumers have rights. I suggest people do the same. Makes it easier for a class action lawsuit down the road too adn we can all get our money back to some degree.

I hope those of you who still use gold in this game learn a valuable lesson from this. I hate to say it but I agree with AJK, we know the shadiness of Gree but yet some still spend regardless of the known risks. It seems like addiction is strong for too many. You can still play with your faction friends, remain competitive without buying gold. Anyone from here on out that still decided to spend is only looking for trouble.

[smbass77]

WBS.....you hit the nail on the head.

My gold buying is done.

I quit buying over a year ago. I have hung onto the game to see if Gree is actually serious about fixing the game. I think this current screw up has put the final nail in the coffin for many players.
