Tomes of Mythology - Post #2 after maintenance

[KarmaEsco]

This is probably the most unfair and truly game-breaking bug they've had since OBT. While the lockout of quests for people in LL was truly unfair as well, they could make up the progress and their progress wasn't capped like this. No matter what I, or the people who were afflicted with this issue do we will always be a full week behind everybody else who wasn't screwed over by SE and this bug. Their inability for even a Dev comment and a timely fix of a devastating bug such as this is wholly to blame.

I doubt anything will happen though since there are few people who seem affected and even less who want to vocalize it for some reason. This needs to be brought to SE's attention for anything to happen, which I doubt anything will. There's only two options really:

1) they take away tomes from people who had it and that would cause a massive outcry as more people took advantage of the issue I'm sure than were affected.
2) They give those affected 300 tomestones, which is highly unlikely, b/c SE isn't wont to give out stuff just because people were deeply inconvenienced by their hand. Even still, how could they be certain that the person was telling the truth, let alone could be able to get 300 tomes in the time that they could have before? And no doubt the higher population would see people gifted with tomestones and an deluge of rage would ensue.

I am as annoyed as you, if you know anyone else who has suffered get them to post in this tread, this needs some sort of dev response.

Mine reset early Tuesday morning right before we killed the Turn One boss. I got 50 Mythology for it and when I checked this morning it did reset again. So my character states 350/2000 and 0/300 for the week.

This kind of error is huge. It puts players without the multiple resets weeks seriously behind in getting access to gear that is currently heavily limited.

The end game so far has been exceptional. Please do something to address this and maintain the integrity of the end game that you obviously put so much time and care into.

Doubt they'll bother addressing this massive unfairness, but we can hope.
SE please review.

Anyone who took advantage of this, and is now at 900/2000 instead of the appropriate 600/2000 would have zero room to complain if they were reset. It is very clear that they are a 1 week reset time, and to get 300 (And 300 again) would require intentionally farming points to game the system, which they know they are beyond the intended range of.

It would be like the bank doubling any money you deposit so you take another part time job just to take advantage of it more while it lasts. You know that money isn't yours and won't be there forever, so just because you worked more doesn't mean you have reason to complain.

Clamp the points to 600. Simple solution.

Exactly.

Obvious unintentional bug that provides a small group of players a large beneficial effect over everyone else. Sounds like an obvious exploit created by SE bug. No ones fault for collecting badges but they need to be clamped to 600.

Its probably too late now, though... people have already spent them on armor and Relic +1's.

Only real solution left is to uncap the people who didn't reset and make everyone's cap the same as the highest value earners (some of which are 1200).

Has everyone with this problem actually submitted an in-game ticket? If not I would suggest doing so please.

I did twice. They tell me to come here and submit a bug report.

Yeah its annoying seeing people with Relics+1 already while some of us have to wait til next week, fair play to them for getting them though and i doubt SE will be able to do anything.

Submitted tickets on this early Monday as soon as we saw an issue with resets. Never heard back from a GM on any of them.

It would also be nice to know when Square plans to actually reset the cap, instead of whenever they feel like it.
