Artifact Power Adjustments from Islands Bug

Last week, there was a bug active for approximately half an hour that resulted in a small number of players receiving an extreme amount of Artifact Power from completing Island Expeditions. While this error was on our end, the amount of Artifact Power given was far too high to leave as-is, as doing so would give an unfair advantage to the handful of players that happened to queue for Islands while this bug was active.

To that end, we have been working to identify and isolate these incorrect Artifact Power gains and remove the additional amounts that should not have been given. Players who were affected by this bug will instead be granted the amount of Artifact Power that would have been correct for the Island Expeditions they completed. This action has now been taken, and affected players will notice their total amount of Artifact Power has been reduced.

We apologize for the confusion and frustration this has caused, and remain committed to providing an equal and fair environment for our players.

Comment by argentlupusBlizz needs to stop punishing the players when they are the ones making the mistakes.Comment by Adrena1inMeanwhile they still refuse to give me and other people Battle for Azeroth Keystone Conqueror: Season One manually although there is proof on rio that we deserve it (and there should be proof as well on their database backups). 1000 bugs, only address a few. What happened to Blizz...Comment by guterboyryanthese people should get the bans too, just like those ivus farm peopleComment by NulgarBlizz needs to stop punishing the players when they are the ones making the mistakes.Comment by NergulSo let me get this right. If a player did Ivus without a re-roll.... got one and went back to kill it with the re-roll but got bugged loot they got their loot removed and they took a ban. But if you farmed these islands for AP when you knew it was bugged, just going to take the AP back? Seems legit.Comment by KaybleBThey didn’t punish them, the removed the excess artifact power but let them keep the gains that they should have received initially. They didn’t get punished at all.Comment by AlakeiThancanSo let me get this right.

They literally fix $%^& that doesn't need immediate fixing, and ignore things that NEED fixing. Man this MMO is going downhill fast...

Its ok tho pretty soon well all be playing WoW on our phones, cus we all have phones right? Dumbasses....Comment by corksterx1This happened to a friend. His reward was something like 51K AP (i.e. an entire heart level).Comment by ONCHEhapWell we all know by now that blizzard hates anything remotely approaching fun.

As a result, Blizz's track record during BfA for being unable to roll out any new or modified content without some notable major bug remains in tact.

So sadly disappointing.Comment by EllarayneBlizz needs to stop punishing the players when they are the ones making the mistakes.Comment by pmkabooSo let me get this right.
