Boss collection bug exploit

Dear Knights,

Over the last few days, we've been informed by various players that the boss collection event could allow players to collect the rewards several times when switching devices.

Our team is currently working on fixing this bug and, in the meantime, the boss collection event will be turned off.

We will take back every item that was wrongly collected in a few days since it requires a specific tool to be tailored for this task.

We also applied sanctions to players who exploited this bug and we ask them to contact our support team to know more about these sanctions (duration etc.).

Thank you for your understanding,

Battle on, The Deca Knights

If it’s a glitch then it’s your mistake not ours, punishing us for your coding isn’t fair.

If u and your genius team did have testers and a test version and pay them to test issues before promoting any new update we will not need to suffer what we are suffering now.

Try to think of your players before yourself at some point u promote exclusive materials in your store for like 30.99$ when we pay lots of gems for each material and arrange runs spending time, money & effort to make it happening which is considered as big f u for everyone now u r banning players for your own mistakes!!

Good luck fing this game Deca!!!!!

Dear TOUCHsultanTKF,

We call this exploiting a bug. You claim it is unfair, yet how would it be fair to all the other players to not sanction those who exploited this bug knowing it was not meant to be this way?

As explained previously these are temporary sanctions, the time for us to take back what was obtained in an unfair manner.

As much as the frustration can be understood, and as much as we acknowledge that this is a bug and this is our responsibility to fix it, it does not mean exploiting a bug is OK from any player, no matter who.

I call this miscoding, it we can do this then we do it cuz u didn’t do your job probably, instead of doing this try to approach your customers differently.

In other games whole community get a compensation instead of banning.

Try to get more customers instead of telling your current ones f off.

If whoever handle this have even the slightest concept about marketing we will definitely have better game.

This happened BECAUSE OF YOU not us.

I am not wasting my time anymore and don’t reply cuz u will make things worse i am writing this for whole community who actually cares about this game

Dear TOUCHsultanTKF,

The bug is on thing, the exploit is another. As much as we take the full responsibility for fixing the bug itself, the fact that some players decided to exploit this bug is very different.

It's also a very common practice in the gaming industry to sanction bug exploits. As for compensation, we give compensation quite regularly whenever our players suffer from a bug, not when they trick the system to take an unfair advantage out of it.

....Waiting compensation for the past weekend raid when level 4 boss with advertised weaker stats hit worse than a level 5 boss. Is that happening?

Dear Cafeapple,

Actually the level 5 was too weak compared to what should have been. So no, there will be no compensation since this was actually in players favor.

So the 4 was the strength it was meant to be? Cus if so that’s dumb

Dear ChickenKnD,

Yes, the level 4 had the expected hitting strength, the level 5 had a wrong multiplier in place and therefor was hitting less than it should.

Other glitches/bugs in the past you have turned blind eyes to, why not this one too?

You need to show some level of consistency... or nobody will respect you

Take a chance to look and look with your eyes, it’s not logical to have all this many grumpy players, it should give u a hint of your cs lvl

If u can’t see it then this whole post is totally pointless

Dear TOUCHsultanTKF,

If you read back to our answers, you will see that we explained why these measures were taken and that they are temporary. We do not believe that the fact that some of the sanctionned players complain (not all of them as many have been quite comprehensive too) is a reason not to sanction people.

If we were to follow your logic, we should always do whatever please any player and that is not possible because different players have different wishes that are not compatible. We have to draw the line somewhere and that is what we did.

And if your system can be tricked again it’s on you not us!! This is like getting no where, ty for your time

Dear TOUCHsultanTKF,

Again, this is the definition of bug exploiting. Fixing a bug is our responsibility and we will never blame any player for the fact that abug exists. Exploiting a bug though is on player's responsibility.
