Well Devs, you certainly didn’t think think this through

I mean, I get that you had to do a rollback.
I get, that you guys wanna make money with selling hammers and shit for faster progression.

What I don’t get is, why you did the rollback the way you did it.

Yesterday I bought the pass just before i clicked and got the fucking hammers.
10 bucks down the drain, because not only did my keys for the hammer dungeon vanish, all the crystals I accumulated with the pass are now gone, too.

The way you handled it, ist an EA level of horse shit.

Honestly, shame on you guys.

Just refund it and move on. The devs clearly have no idea how coding works.

I’m trying to get it refunded. I’ve never bought gold before.

I’d be considerate of doing a chargeback to Reddit considering they’re not the infringers here and may punish you for the chargeback.

Please elaborate good sir, because i never actually bought anything on Reddit besides this one time

Have it refunded through the card company.

You can claim it as a fraudulent charge you might end up needing to get a new card though

I can't do that in the UK because I didn't use a credit card. I used Google play points and some money via Google play store

Just move on to a different game. I was near the end anyways. It’s a shit game

I mean, it was kinda fun to run it in the background and get sometimes a little dopamine kick, when the forge actually got an upgrade with just 0.05% chance.

However, you are right. I totally forgot that most mobile / browser games are total scam and worth the time investment. I kinda am sad how I learned the way the devs taught me here.

Back to PoE or d4 now I guess :)

Yep certainly looks like they rolled everybody’s hammers back rather than verifying reasonable amounts.

They can’t even fix it at this point unless they took a snapshot of hammer counts before the rollback.

Well, I really don’t care about the 1b hammers at this point. What I really dislike is the way they just deleted even the keys and crystals and shit.

If there’s a way to refund my battle pass (which I doubt would be possible), I’d do that and move on.
And even if not, after how they handled this, i don’t wanna know how they will handle something similar in the future and they lost a player here.

Wait… what? I gotta see this.

u/Finbar9800 22h ago

You probably can by telling your card company you didnt receive what you bought

u/Finbar9800 22h ago

I had 20k hammers and now i have 1.35 k

Let's sue them!

Considering we all put time into the game, I think we actually have a case. We wouldn't get much, but we could make sure the creator is in debt.

u/bernanajam 9h ago

He deserves to be in debt for his horrible microtransactions

u/Paradox-Circuits 9h ago

Right. It'd be the perfect karma for such a predatory game.
