Octane Crate Error - Combat Axe - Octane Adjustments and compensation

RumAndCoke

It only goes to highlight jealousy in human nature.How many of these people complaining would be voicing the same opinions if they had won and got to keep 2 axes?

I didn't purchase any crates but am happy for the people who won them. For most people winning zp guns from the black market has been a painful experience. About time something swung in their favour.

If you get so worked up about a pixelated axe being gifted to others then you are in for a rude awakening. Get ready for the big world outside when you become an adult then you will see just how unfair and cruel this world is. Then who will you cry to?

That sucks.But they were money orientated decisions that they made.Since the days of the coupon permanent weapons removal many people (myself included) haven't purchased ZP since.Fortunately i am in a position where I am able to purchase plenty of crates if I so wished.Thats the only real way to protest. People have too much money invested in this game and are too scared to walk away.

But its still nice to own 1 Cool axe (I won it buy only 1 axe )

Attention CF Players!

This morning a few players might have noticed that there was a slight issue with the Octane Crates. In so far as that they were awarding a very large number of Axes!

While it is exciting to win a permanent weapon, winning 6 permanent axes from 30 crates is not something that the original crate was supposed to do. The bug was found and fixed and everything should be normal with the crate.

We are adjusting the numbers of axes that players won (especially in the extreme examples) and giving back more Octane crates to those players to give them further chances to win the M4A1-Octane or another axe, only this time fairly, as the crate was intended.

What does this mean?

In all cases of players who won more than 2 axes we will be reducing the # of Combat Axe - Octanes on your account to 2. Then, depending on the amount of crates you originally purchased we will award up to 40 bonus crates to the account.

All players who won 2 Axe's with purchases of crates under 50 will be reduced to 1 and 10 bonus crates will be awarded.

Here are some examples.

Say you purchased 100 Octane crates, and you won 6 Axes. The number of axes will be reduced to 2, and you will be awarded 40 bonus crates.

Say you purchased 35 Octane crates and you won 5 axes. You will be reduced to 2 and awarded 25 bonus crates.

Say you purchased 30 Octane crates and you won 4 axes. You will be reduced to 2 and compensated with 15 bonus crates.

We feel that this gives an adequate reward for players who have already purchased and won Combat Axes in the Octane Crate. And also shows our dedication to making sure that players who purchased these crates have items to use and in the quantities they would expect from a problem that should not have occurred but that we are deeply sorry for.


Please note that no player can win more than 6 as the game will only allow you to have that many in the first place which overall reduces the excitement of trying to win the M4A1 Octane. But now we have given out bonus crates, often equal to half or more of the total crates you originally purchased, which should give you some awesome chances at even more prizes.


Further more, please note that this bug was fixed very fast and this whole process did not affect a very large group of people. If you were not affected by this, then there is no need to comment. We are talking about less than one half of 1% of the people who have played the game today.

I think this is very shady..

Saidin, u said people can keep their Axes, how come I heard otherwise in Barrack about people winning 1 axes or 2 and they still get removed?

I think he carefully worded the statement. He only made reference to people winning 2 or more axes.I didn't see anything specific about people winning just the one. So probably whoever won one axe and lost it will never see the axe again.

Any player who won 1 axe was allowed to keep that one axe.

We're talking about less than 20 players here.


This thread was created in the interest of openness and honesty with the players. The number of people this actually affected was very low.

We do apologize to our loyal players who didn't pick up octane crates and who didn't realize there was a glitch here. But we think that overall our adjustments were fair to those who DID purchase crates which were quite obviously not working as intended.

We continue to hold events and giveaways and promotions for all kinds of weapons and items. This Octane crate, while limited sale now, is probably not the last you will see of these items and they will be around in the future.

Once again, since this thread serves only as notice to the very few players this might have affected we are going to close it as this issue is complete and finished.


Thanks very much everyone for your patience and understanding.
