Compensation in this case is hard to measure. Some people lost next to nothing. Some lost a bit of time investment. Some lost a lot of time investment when spending hour on PvP ranking or doing their whole week of Tower Sigils that evening or the entire Underspire, etc. Some lost rare cards gotten from RNG chests, Underspire or Gnome Vault. Some people threw real money at the screen to buy boosts, passes or whatever and if everything got rolled back but the money is gone then that is certainly a real problem for the support.
As bare minimum for compensation I would say
- Stars for Astral Spire. Minimum the “daily” amount we lost. Can toss in some extra as good will.
- Minimum the goldmarks from yesterdays two kingdoms that got rolled back. Again, there could be some more because the vast majority of players might still need tons of goldmarks [even if only to spend on Dragonite or RNG books].
- Adding VP as general measurement for everyone is a bit eh. But since we have the VP icons, I guess handing a minor sum might do the trick. Lets say everyone gets a gold icon for 5000 VP, that should be a insult for the hardcore players, who wasted 3+h yesterday, but mor ethen enough for the casuals or people that did not bother to play.
- Regarding PvP, some Glory can be also tucked in. Most people that played several hours yesterday for ranking might rather have aimed for ranking and goldmarks, but still Glor lost on that part.
- Also some Gold lost from the grind, but that is probably neglectable. Even if we look towards GW upcoming and could use some gold injection for Legendary Tasks
- Some Gems. As currency it lost a bunch of appeal imo, but still has some uses for lots of people. While I don’t expect like 10% of the wrongly send mail items [highest I saw in screeshot was over 70.000 gems in mail. I only got 33k myself] I would assume starting at 200 Gems and maybe going for 500 or 1000 might not be the worst idea. Will not crash the market or boost people to the moon.
- There are the rare cases of people pulling a perfect daily Dungeon, or catching 1-2 Dragonite Gnomes. So compensating some Dragonite overall might be good too. Lets say 100. Thats not too much but enough to feel valuable.
- Some extra ToD sigils would be good to compensate for the “changed” tower floors today which makes yesterdays scouting useless. Sadly weekend is also half finished now and the event almost over. Since I doubt recompensation comes quick enough to play a role, this might fall flat.
- Some extra Underspire torches might be nice. But agaiin: Week almost over and not sure this gets adressed in time. So maybe pack in some free lanterns to use whenever for people later.
I guess a lot of people are rightfully pissed by losing specific progress. Especially people who threw real money around yesterday. So will be interesting to see how the devs might tackle this issue once the weekend is over and they decide its time to adress the elephant in the room.
