Missing HOF Bret shards
Comments

Using the term subject to change is meant to cover a mistake. Now that’s not supposed to be used as a get of a jail free card when people complain. Rather sometimes thing can change, but the communication to the community is key. You can’t use that after the fact to get out of trouble.
personally I would give out the shards to the community. It’s a small thing to the company but huge to the community. Which keeps people happy and should ensure long term profit. Small term loss Vs long term gain

Fact that everyone is also the claim that they meant that was the ‘total number of shards in bags’ - this is false because if you would have pulled Bret in those bags then that would not have been total number of shards in the bags.
This is insane how poorly handled and managed this situation is- Unhelpful responses/attitude from mods and radio silence from Scopely. Just another in a long line of:
Favours the player - it’s a mistake/subject to change, remove and send 5 ‘appreciation bags’
Favours Scope - Working as intended.

Absolutely pathertic move to short us players the shards to something that was advertised already.

I would like to point it out for you that this argument does not hold any merit because the shards are a different prize altogether and were not put in the blog as a cumulative total of what you can get from 9 bronze and 3 silver bags.
Elaborating on that, suppose i pull the 2 star bronze card from any of the bronze bags or 3 star bronze card from any silver bag, that does not count as shards. So before you calculate what you get from bags and add that up to be the amount of shards mentioned, think again please
Now coming to the screw-up, since past few months it has been a norm of a section of the community to obtain the trial character when it is released in-game, that too without spending. Faction completes the event, you complete the warscore, place in top 100 in warscore and do your tours using the bonus character. Be that Riddle or trickster rey mysterio, the character of the month recruited at 1200 shards has been obtainable with grinding.
This last minute "subject to change" is a kick to the gut to the player and a perfect example of bait and switch. Changing the amount of shards from 375 to a different amount can be justified with that argument but removing it completely is like a slap to the face and defies the game dynamic. We had HOF yokozuna shards in the final tour released as the bonus for using the required character. Same with HOF iron Sheikh. That makes you question: why was the same thing not done in case HOF Bret?
Plus the bonus in hell mode being 1 4 star gold token case per match, clearly indicates a last-minute change made in a hurry. So either Scopely makes it right by giving the players 375 HOF Bret shards as was in the blog before it got changed or keep it as it is right now and the players get screwed over like has been the case most of the times.

the fact that the blog post for HOF Bret says that 375 shards were available on the limited time tour in addition to 3 silver bags and 9 bronze bags, and no shards are on the tours is one of the worst pieces of communication the company has done.
The feuding was made harder by lower first time scoring. A huge piece of the community feuded differently because of expected shards on tour.
These things lead to lack of faith in your brand, and ends the month on a very poor note. The shards need to be added. No other resolution seems right.

Might have been an innocent mistake but people spent real money and spent time guided by the blog and left looking stupid . When you see your content creators create content do you just promote without watching ? It was clear for days in advance what the community thought the event was so adjusting expectations at any point is just poor.
like to clarify this was not a dig at any content creator at all- not their fault whatsoever

Boycott? How'd that go when people tired a spending ban?

Do what you want, Scopely. It's your game and your company/brand image that will be reflected from your actions. A lot of people here said what they feel about current situation already.
Personally I just wonder why no one received an in game message for the such big change in the on going live event as soon as blog was edited/updated. If we can received in game messages about champions twitch going live, we should be able to get an actual info update in game in proper timely manner.

As someone in this game that doesn't do alot of spending I trying to make up the gap by using my time wisely to make good decisions to advance in the game. One of these ways is by using the blog info to decide what type of time investment is need to achieve my target goal. In this case by providing inaccurate info you have effectively taken away a players choice in regards to how they play the game. Speaking for myself if the shard info had been correct I would if pushed for the 40mil warscore instead of stopping at a reasonable hr and wait to do a tour that was lacking the promised goods.
What's the purpose of a blog if we can't take the info given as a credible and reliable source, and instead can only view it as a what if piece of fiction.

I 100% agree with everyone here. Granted sometimes glitches happen or the wring thing is put in game, but the fact is when you mess up in the players favor(it, giving more resources) you are quick to take it back from us and give those BS appreciation gifts. This time you need to make righton what the blog says and award us the missing shards that we earned.

If you're willing put something "live" and fix it on the fly under the guise as not "working as intended".
Honestly you failed due diligence or quality control. Not the players fault, we have 0 ability to code your game.
We didn't say 375 shards and not code it, we didn't say first time win of 100k and then switch to 50k. The goal posts keep moving at all times.
Accept responsibility, and move forward, next time do a better job.
It's 5+ years of the same bait and switch and fix the plane while flying.
This game should be running 1 month ahead on a test server so execution is flawless.

It was corrected
375*Bret Hart “Hall of Fame” Shards overall if you collect all Bret Hart “Hall of Fame” Shard Bags

How do you know it wasn't changed after the fact? Many contests have had changes after go live so the assumption for it being an error is simply an assumption. The person who updates the blog was out of office as well.

Covered up by Scopely.

100% agreed. If you guys say that this will be in there, so be it. "Oh, a lot of people will get him feely". It's your own fault scopely. Next time, don't drop the ball. Simple as that. But, once you promise something, deliver it. That's fair to your community!

So they admit they falsely advertised ?

I can't tell if you are simply trolling everyone or you actually are trying to defend this, either way, it's a bad look. They screwed up, whether it's through a "subject to change" snafu or simply not properly being communicative to their customers. Editing the blog well after the fact and after the community uproar is a bad look. They screwed up and the players so far have gotten screwed because of it. If they fix it, fine,but there needs to be more than a simple blog edit here.

I agree @Shaun16

I agree with Donjay56. Going forward we can't trust the blog anymore.
2 -
Yeah, pure and simply. It’s a pointless resource of information if errors are allowed to fly- then they try to retract it.
I thought at the time but someone else mentioned above- the way you know it was meant to be shards is based on the ‘contest superstar’ awards for rare characters being 1 4SG token. Pure BS.

Agree with Scott above, towing the company line in this instance and trying to wrap people up about pedantic details - when you are truly aware this is a joke. That’s not helpful and just adding fuel to the fire.

you still could get him for free or really really cheap. he's not a good character so no its not that they were afraid people would get him for free it's that things changed after the fact. FFS morrison is better than him.

I maxed the war score in the hope of getting them shards . But with Shawn being in the leaderboard rewards for the new mlc it makes sense now . Bret screwed Bret and scopely screws us . But unlike the Bret screw job yours is day after day , week after week & we still come back for more as the last screw was not hard enough.

Step up and fix the issues

So whatever way you look at it you lied if that was in the bags then the poster itself wasn't in the bag simple fact people spent and done as much as they needed to recruit him off your blog information then after the fueds and tours you change it
0 -
But I pulled Bret at 2SB from bags...so I only got 350/375 shards. When should I expect to get my remaining 25 shards?
7 -
Be careful they might remove him and give you 25 shards 🙄

Adding my name to the list of players who planned, spent money and feel wronged. :(

It was corrected once feuds had ended and there was no possible way to get those shards that were available in other parts of the contest anymore. Rectifying the mistake on the blog retroactively doesn't change the fact that people planned around information that was available the entire weekend and feud, and that information wasn't indicative of the intentions at the time. That's why people are angry, if it'd have been a case of put the blog out on Thursday evening and it gets changed on Friday morning or Friday evening to reflect their true intentions, nobody would have minded. But changing it after the fact once that expectation was there is just poor
