The shiny legendary tokens are supposed to be added to the chest 2-3 months after their introduction. It was in one of the patch notes but I don’t recall which.

I hope theyll be a refund for time spent using the keys and some form of in game apology.

Can you fix the Legends Reborn related achievement (Kingdom Crusher)? I bet it’s way much easier than this shiny keys issue. Does it hurt to put a “Play again” button with no rewards so we can play this event the required 5 times?
Or it’s really all about taking our money?

I’m confused. Can you guys code or not? It took you a few days to figure out how to isolate and remove tokens and dust (with some players getting screwed over in the process, normal for you) but almost a full year on and you guys can’t figure out how to make immortals stay on teams?
Not to mention a million other bugs you can’t find or deal with. But when it comes to taking stuff from players, you practically move like lightning. And will you be compensating players for the time and effort they wasted on the keys? Or is one green pet food supposed to satisfy everyone?
This whole shiny-gate occurrence shows how little you think of your players and how bad you are at running the game. It never should have happened and you should have handled it so much better once it did.

@OminousGMan Will there also be a third phase where players are BANNED because we used the keys?

Well said, @Zuul-Emo. I’m not convinced that they could not fix some of the balancing, bugs, and other problems in PvP for all this time when they resolved this situation so fast.
If potential profit is at stake, they can move mountains.
If player’s needs are at stake, they can’t even move a pebble.

They know how to code. They just don’t give a crap unless the bug is in our favor.

So, the Toxic Hag won’t get 5 tokens for the rest of this Event!?
Lovely attitude!
Well, let’s wait for the new update, above the brim with flaws, mistakes and a free loot.
Oh, I am pretty sure these developers can code. What they absolutely cannot do is prioritise, they’d rather tackle those bugs that benefit players rather than that which frustrates us so much; four seasons of immortals clearing our troops being one of those, unskippable events between battles being another - although I’m now convinced this is completely intentional so as to slow players down in a game that is already slow to progress in.

When are they removing the vault keys and all the profits of spent vault keys from when they programmed the gap rewards/gnomes incorrectly? Or was that going to hurt whales too much? Why is one different to the other?
What about xbox achievements related to shiny troops that was won using the 13k keys ? Will they be “removed” or will we keep them ?

If they punish the last whales for their mistakes, this game will be dead.

Gaps were working exactly as intended. In the offical stream Salty even showed that you could go infinite and encouraged players to go crazy.

How apropos that the theme of the week is Toxic, Venomous, Poisonous, because that’s exactly the sort of atmosphere these devs are cultivating.
Witness how rapidly they can move to tear away something to the player’s benefit if it’s a detriment to their bottom line, all while sitting on their thumbs refusing to address so many player needs and requests for years now.
But this course of redress was almost as if explicitly engineered to sow toxicity and rancor between groups of players. Those who claimed the keys against those who couldn’t, those who spent them against those who refrained, it’s turned discourse into a dog fighting ring. They’ve been jamming PvP down our throats for so long that it’s lost its luster and they want to escalate to setting players at each other’s throats outside the game as well.
I’m not having it. My contempt is fixed squarely on the devs who have tipped their hand and shown just how little they value their playerbase. You will never see another dime from my pockets and I hope this has convinced plenty of others to do the same.

I really do understand the frustration that issues like this which benefit players are fixed incredibly quickly while other issues go without updates for years. I get that we’d like these long-standing issues to be addressed with speed like that.
What I don’t understand is this idea that devs are intentionally trying to screw over their playerbase and act in ways “explicitly engineered to sow toxicity and rancor between groups of players.” This is a common sentiment on the forums; this post is not aimed at you specifically.
An error occurred where pet ID 13397 was mistakenly put in as 13397 shiny keys, a relatively new and very limited resource. Players responded to the issue in different ways, some claiming the keys and some not, some using the keys and some not. Players argued amongst themselves about how the bug should be handled and whether claiming/using the keys was alright. The devs had no hand in this beyond the initial error. Their communication about the bug was relatively quick and clear with increased urgency due to the potential financial losses caused by handing out 13k of a resource most players get less than 50 of per month. Were I in their shoes, I would have handled it the exact same way, perhaps alongside throwing in a few free shiny keys for everyone to apologize for the issue.
Assigning malice to the mistakes and oversights of developers is something done frequently on this forum despite player contempt and in-fighting not benefitting the developers in any way. The amount of people who threaten to quit after events like this is further evidence of that. The devs actively trying to create a toxic environment and screw their players over would be counter-productive in every sense of the word, including financially.
TLDR: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” … or a small development team on an obscure mobile match-3 game with Big Important Corporate People to answer to.

Same, bought every, campaign,kingdom pass, every tuesday pet and pvp campaigns.
I got the keys, i actually assumed they were to update all shiny troops.
And were for everyone, as the troops are useless.
And its a crap source.
Now going forward, dont care that yhey took the keys, dust and tokens back.
Aa the troops are dog doodoo.
Kept the achievement, only thinv that mattered.
Wont be spending anymore money, as it was there mistske, and havnt seen an apology or acceptance of there mistake yet.
Also will the devs be changing the name of game to dragons of war, as theres a dragon fetish in the office.
I think we have enough dragons, for the next ten years, also the fox kingdom (stella) more powerful than yhe actual dragon kingdom lmao.
Way to go on game lore.
