Resolved

As the title says, I just bought a forged 3x3 diamond hammer for 13k coins from a players store and it took my money but DID NOT give me my item!

I have the full thing saved on video, please tell me how I can send this footage from my ps4 to a dev, I am so pissed off right now, I am actually disheartened from playing the game until this is sorted out.

Either I get my coins back, or I get my hammer. Spent so long getting titanium bombs as I prepare to hunt emeralds for mixer coils, decided an aoe hammer would help speed it up and boom, 13k coins down and nothing to show for it.

EDIT

Been in correspondence with the devs, they have been really helpful and it turns out that I’m actually an idiot; I had infact purchased a forged titanium hammer instead of what I thought was a diamond hammer (omegalul). To be fair it was among gem tools and such and it was really just me being stupid/ blind.

Apologies for the waste of time, and a huge thanks for the immediate response from the devs

Could someone be so kind to link the devs to this post as I’m not exactly sure how to do this or what all the devs names are for that matter

Check your smart stacks

I did, all I had was titanium hammer smart stack and it is not with them, I had no other gem tools. This is all on the video too as this is the first thing I checked

If its in the support category (correct choice btw😁 ) they will see it, but tagging @james anyway as I know he’s responded to my issues before. They’ll be on it in a little bit promise.

Meanwhile if you could post the location of the stand, time of transaction, name of alt etc that stuff usually helps speed up the investigation

I not long just messaged james with all that info incase he could help :stuck_out_tongue: I realise how much a ■■■ I sound when I wrote “Either I get my coins back, or I get my hammer”, I was just so furious while writing it, so sorry about that lol would rather just get to the bottom of this and hope it doesn’t happen again to anyone.

It was in Finata at -68N 617E Altitude 65, between 17:30 - 17:40 BST today (18/10/18), My IGN is Krog PSN: SquishyMage.

Thanks for the details.

  • We will look at the analytics and work out what happened.
  • If required we’ll make corrections.
  • We’ll also report back here what happened for everyone to see.

However this might take a day or so. Please be patient.

Yeah i wish more people would take a breath before (or even after!) they post a rant… But no problem its all good. In fact, between “you get the coins or the hammer” i think you probably got all the possible outcomes covered anyway!

Ps^ that was nice and snappy devs :heart_eyes:

No problem, thanks for the reply! Do you need me to send the video?

Do you know the name of the player who owned the shop?
The video may be of some use if we can’t work out what happened since we may be able to reproduce a bug by watching exact steps, so hold on to it for now and if we need it we’ll find the best way for you to send it over.

Didn’t post his name in case it was against the rules lol, it was owned by Mad-King

I can see a purchase at 17:43:20 BST for a titanium hammer for 13,000 coin from a shop at -67N 617E and I can see a forged titanium hammer forged by Mad-King in your inventory (it’s in a smart stack of titanium hammers). It’s possible that somehow the game managed to make the purchase from the adjacent shop plinth, can you see if there is an adjacent shop plinth selling titanium hammers for the same price?

It’s possible it’s some sort of mis-prediction in the game client, so the shop plinth it looks like you were buying from is not what the server thought you were interacting with, if that’s the case it’ll probably be useful for us to look at the video to try and work out how to ensure that can’t happen again.

I have actually had this mis-prediction happen before. Hit E on stand went to go purchase a titanium hammer, to realize it was the stand right beside it with silver hammers that had opened. Thank god I noticed before I bought it. Hope all gets settled @ganja Cheers

Aside: Awesome job on the tooling/analytics you folks built to be able to investigate this sort of thing :+1:
