Hello everyone,

I am writing you today to discuss an issue with our most recent weekend event: Double Arcane & Mythic Odds for Locked Crates and Golden Elite Dragonscale Chests. Earlier today, we noticed some unrelated discrepancies between our development environment and the live game server. It looks like something happened in Thursday's update. The process to build and deploy an Arcane Legends weekend event is pretty complex. While we have many safeguards and processes in place to verify data, there are still issues that can arise as a part of maintaining a live game. This lead to some concern that the loot table changes for double odds might not have been applied correctly.

Long story short, we believe firmly in "better safe than sorry." Any players who opened Locked Grand Crates or Elite Golden Dragonscale chests from the start of the event yesterday through now, will all have the crates and chests returned and platinum refunded for the crate opens. Anyone who did open one of these crates or chests will be able to keep anything received from them.

Our sincerest apologies for any confusion or inconvenience. As of the posting of this thread, the problem has been fixed and it has been confirmed that the loot tables are as they should be for Double Odds Weekend.

Thank you!

Everyone is getting the plat returned, the crates returned and you get to keep all items you looted by the sounds of it :)

Based on the notes, you get your crates/chests back and plats used. You also get to keep whatever items/garbage you looted. 0 loss for openers.

Rollback the elite golden dragonscale chest not only the locks, we save that chest for the event like this so its unfair if only the locks will be rollback to the inventory

Jurmans
09-05-2014, 04:47 PM
Lolz i meant that people who opened locks before these double odds kinda got screwed, these people just opened locks for free then get to keep arcane/mythics but will also get plats and locks back...

Oh .... cool ...... i just noticed that my plat was returned, but so far the approximately 200 locked crates and 2 elondrian crates i opened havent been returned?!?!!?!?
Do we just sit tight, or do we need to officially request their return?
Be nice to get the locked crates back before event end so i can try my luck again ...

09-06-2014, 12:21 PM
I open more than 300 locked but get 4 mythic 3 amor 1 amulet doom,double odds meaning sts double it arcane pet that everyone needed sameal but too many crap item i get, i dont know wat to say it i feel buying plat to open locked that too many not worth it since 2010 i playing star legends and arcane legends, seem sts very complicated to giving players happy. The time for me to stop buying more plat n could be stop playing sts game,even these locked based on luck but i feel being cheating my hard work to get dollar to purchase plat open locked loot arcane shard or mauler n good pet sameal is fail totally fail even sts announce n claim double odds.

Got my plats back and about 400 extra plats added. Did not get my locked crates (over 150)

I opened about 12 crates right at the start of the double odds event and I got refunded very quickly. However I did not get any crates back only plats. This is fine by me because I think I got all the plats used for opening the crates + 15 plats for each crate I opened. I started out with 160 plats and now I have well over 300 (but no extra crates). So not sure how all the refunding works but it is fine by me. :-)


Edit: checked stash and found my crates. Never mind.

If you opened them before double odds update you wont get refunded. The refund was to the players that opened locked under the assumption the odds were doubled for the event before they fixed whatever bug caused the crates to have normal odds.

180 locks opened. received one mythic ring.

i normally get a lot more on your double chance weekends. i think the double odds programming needs twinked.

also, did the elite gold dragon chest's chance to drop get messed up? i normally get quite a few, this past weekend i got one.

this is my first time ever posting a negative comment for the devs/game.

Hi all! Just to close the loop on this one, here are the details on exactly what happened this past weekend:

For the time between 19:00 GMT on 9/4 and 21:30 GMT on 9/5 we have:

• Refunded any Platinum used to open a Locked Grand Crates.
• Returned all Grand Crates that were opened.
• Returned all Elite Golden Dragonscale crates that were opened.

If you opened any locked crates before or after that time window, you will not have received a refund of crates, chests or platinum. If you still believe that you should have received a refund and did not, please visit our support page at support.spacetimestudios.com and click on "Contact Us" to submit a ticket and we will be happy to look into it for you. This thread is being closed. :)
