Looks like the "compensation" is pretty random going by discord and reddit. People who lost legit tomes and tablets during the purge didn't get anything back while others who expected nothing got plenty of units pulled with glitched gems back. Whatever "investigation" Bandai has been doing, safe to say it's wildly inaccurate at best.
Going by the replies in this community, which I trust a lot more than reddit, aside from MiTYH, everyone who pulled with glitched gems got a few/many/all those glitched units back. I can testify that not only did I get 7 multis worth of units back (even though I only had enough gems for 1-2 max), all of them are duplicated, which is the most bizarre part of this whole thing. Dunno if Bandai are going to do another purge/rollback/apology tour but they shouldn't have bothered with this last "compensation" if they were going to mishandle it so badly.
No wonder they purged our items a couple weeks ago, looks like even with more time they can't really tell what to restore.
At this point I'll consider V2 Katakuri (and his twin) as mine legitimately and will happily use him for the INT boss on this Kizuna ^^
So glitched gem users got even more compensation and possibly a lot of their units back (and the previous Ray tickets). I feel like a smacked ass for not abusing the glitch. Next Bandai slip-up that comes along and I'm going to town.
This final compensation just voided whatever Bandai was trying to say with their previous fixes. Giving tons of glitched units back to glitch abusers is just hilarious, after deleting them. Indeed the only message we can take from this is "Abuse every single glitch to the max, it's free for all buffet, there will be no repercussion, you'll even get full compensation".
My only regret right now is not rainbowing every single unit in my box and not doing 500 more multis, surely would have got the Shira/Sherry and a few other legends I'm missing. Worst case scenario, I wouldn't have lost anything, best case scenario, today I'd be the owner of every single unit in the game, fully rainbowed, for the grand price of 0 gem.
Kinda kicking myself for being "honest" and showing some restraint. There was zero advantage in doing so. I'd feel pretty gutted too if I was a whale who shelved out thousands of bucks to get those legends some people got for free during the glitch.
Really no point in taking Bamco serious anymore, considering how they handled this issue.
Dunno if they are going to leave it at that or try to fix things properly one last time.
Wow this gem valley was just amazing to me. Sorry for those who didn't get to partake in it.
Personal Recap:
- Pulled way too much on gem valley. Had legit gems in there.
- Didn't use them during TM or BB, but should have it seems.
- Rainbowed like, every unit I ever wanted to use
- Got my legit characters back which were 3 legends (Shira/Sherry, BMv2, Neko/Ino), and got 5 RRs as well (Kimono Urouge, Kimono Vivi, Belo Betty, STR Ryuma, INT Viola).
- Got all of them again due to whatever duplicate glitch happened last night.
- Got basically all my forbidden tomes back (I was over 1k, then back under with their maintenance, now back over again). Got tomes and stuff too
- Got the 50 apology gem, and another 50 for not abusing it (?)
- Oh and I got a lot of CC back, like 300 of each I think.
All in all, a great glitch fest. I have basically 0 interest in the anniversary now since I pulled Lawfy on New Years and Bullet from the TM ticket. Definitely going back to saving mode for Sobamask to arrive.
Congrats, your haul is incredible! I didn't rainbow units nor did tons of multis but I should have for sure, considering how everything panned out.
My personal recap :
- Maxed out my box space for free, from 1200 to 2200.
- Used gems refills on the 2nd Blitz Battle, but didn't get anything from it.
- Got a free V2 Katakuri and RR Mr 1.
- Got a bunch of free units and duplicates.
- 100 gems compensation because sure why not?
- Got all the items they purged from my account back.
My regrets :
- Not pulling for TM and Blitz RRs and go for ranking with glitched gems.
- Not pulling 500 more multis.
- Not rainbowing everything.
All in all, great event, will participate again!
