OK, so, on the 2nd day during the 3-day outage I had, I did submit a support ticket to TinyCo. I heard back a day later saying they had pushed out a fix and to let them know if it wasn't working.
By then it was working fine, and I told them it was, thanks. And also said that a 72-hour outage was a long time, especially during a timed event and asked if there was anything they could do to prevent it.
This was the response: `I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. We are working with Amazon to prevent this from happening again in the future.'
`I've credited 100 shards to your game as consolation.
Please let me know if you need help with anything else.`
...... well that's much better than the response they gave you the last time
I'll say. The responses I got during CW were canned general responses that were basically "SOL, we can't help you."
hopefully they are learning....
Hopefully! But yay, squeaky wheel got some grease!
