[GI] Galaxy Gate Rewards Doubled

Okay so lets clear the air, there was confusion about the start of this weekend event and I see it is active now US3, but there is confusion as to what is doubled. Facebook and the UNOFFICIAL thread both specify the Uridium and Ammo are doubled but the FAQ specifies these are not doubled. Can someone please explain the discrepancy. I understand the items posted in the UNOFFICIAL thread can and has changed in the past, but it is usually for the better not the worse of the game, and Facebook should have been posted with the correct information instead of compounding the issue by saying the same thing.

I know people are saying they received the double rewards today but I am assuming they had boosters that assisted them in getting the larger rewards instead of this event. Hate to think this is going to be another Glitch Event instead of a proper release event.

 

Hi - I'm getting with the CM's this morning to ensure that we get everything clarified.

The functionality for Double Rewards was indeed rolled out with the sync yesterday (in part to limit the number of syncs, but also to check the functionality on live instances before the event), but the event isn't intended to "officially" kick off until later today. At which point, we'll update the Breaking News section of the launch screen, etc...

 

Thank you for that clarification for the start of the event but we need more clarification why the mis-leading advertising of the doubled rewards to be given. Facebook had a posting just like the posting in Okapi32's thread stating Standard Rewards are double including ammo and Uridium, but the OFFICIAL information is saying otherwise. Now hear the Facebook post has been removed and replaced with the current aspect of the weekend. This is the type of ERROR D O needs to live with and give what was posted not change it to what they wanted to do (this frustrates more players than the economic effect would have on the game). You have now upset 50% of your money source and the other 50% have decided it to be a waste of their time to do this event. Along with the newbs who are not interested in building gates as they are not strong enough to do them. So it seems to be a major failure just because the right hand did not know what the left hand was doing.

Edit to prevent bumping.

I just had another thought as there is so much problems with the servers, loss of connection, inability to log in, inability to access G G M or other tabs on back page, DDoS attacks (so we are told), and everything else do you really think an event putting more strain on a sector of the server is wise? How much lag and other server issues are going to be caused by the extra people doing the G G's and building them going to have on the partitions of the servers? We already see the G G M working slower than it used to, some already see more lag than usual in the gates, we have already seen reports of "timing out" in the gates (I myself had this happen on Birthday gate). We need to fix existing connection/connectivity issues before we try to address game play changes. YES I KNOW we need to continue to GROW as a game, BUT what growth do you have if no one can play the game, because they can not access it?

Thank you I thought it was to the point.

This can be closed as it has become a COMMON thread and many others are more active than this.
