I understand WHY they disabled them for everyone on every platform but Ummm why is it that ps4 and xbox still has cap? couldn't they have at least took the cap off for us? I mean we get to 1,000 there isn't any real reason to keep playing because we are missing out on shards..They said it will be a few more weeks until we get the update which is fine whatever..but I just think its a little unfair that we still have the cap, but no shrine or anything to use them on..

    Yeah, there's no reason they couldn't hot fix that cap for us. This really sucks. :(

    It does very much so, Like I dont mind waiting "weeks" for the update but its like once you're capped out on your shards and well bp you can use on your people and get it back but the shards..i just dont want to play once im capped out at 1000

    You didn't get the update yet , right?
    PC didn't have the cap removed before the update either. It's part of the new update that you will get when your console gods decide to allow it.

    We know that.. what we're saying is they could have pushed through a tiny patch removing the cap so we could be earning shards instead of being stuck at 1000 until whenever the update hits

    Maybe they'll make the conversion multiplier higher to keep console players happy.

    Even the tiniest patch for console needs to be certified by Sony/Microsoft. Blame them, not the devs.

    In order to patch the Iridescent Shard cap, we would have had to start another Certification process which would be adding delay for the 2.0.0 update on Console.

    The Shrine is on a backend and is shared between the 3 platforms. We could not have the shrine up with different Iridescent Shard systems between Console and PC. Which is why we disabled the Shrine for everyone.

    Yes, but surely a few MB patch would be a lot quicker. So the idea would be to push that update through first so we can start earning, then push the larger update through after. There's also same day cert for smaller patches.

    If the patch ends up only taking a few days, fine whatever, it kinda sucks but I can deal with it. But if the patch takes WEEKS and we're stuck at the 1000 cap the entire time, while PC players are racking up shards, then I just don't see how anyone can defend that.

    See the above statement.

    Yes, it's not ideal, but again, blame Sony/Microsoft.

    I have seen the above statement. I don't think it changes anything. They could have same day certified the removal of the shard cap and that would have only pushed back the bigger patch by one day at most. And stop telling me who to "blame." It's not Sony and Microsoft's fault they want to ensure a patch doesn't break their customers' consoles.

    I just kind of in a way sucks for Xbox and PS4 players because we are already maxed out..and playing more games means that we miss out on those shards..I mean I understand WHY like I said before..Its just crappy thats all..I love the game its like the only one I play. Bums me out is all..

    Microsoft and Sony both have a same day patch certification option the devs can use. Apparently there’s “too much content” for 2.0 to use the same day option, which I highly doubt because other games have launched meaty updates using the same day certification.

    So they could have put out a small patch to remove the cap and had it done using the one day option but this is BHVR, they don’t give a crap about their console players. Just think back to the New Year event and the utter horse crap Xbox players had to sit through just to play the game, and it was never so much as acknowledged by the devs. 

    They made a great game but the community side side of it has been garbage. I’m confused on your issue though, the shrine is still up for me? Can you not redeem shards for perks or bloodpoints?

    I just ignore people when they spew that blame Sony /Microsoft nonsense because people are so quick to say blame Sony/Microsoft when it comes to the cert process even though I’m certain everyone would do what they do in some form to protect their products and if the wouldn’t they’d be fools

    I completely understand your explanation, but do you and the team realize the constant screw you that your console players feel? 2/3 of your platforms are sitting waiting in purgatory. Meanwhile the chat lost its mind because the BP event wasn't going to be till July because console didn't get its patch yet and felt THAT was unfair.

    @fcc2014 some players are upset they have to wait for the shrine to be back and feel it’s ridiculous they need to wait for console for that too yet we get called the whiners lol I’ll never understand the logic

    My point is we all got screwed.... Some of us more then others but you can still earn shards. Some of us have reached the cap or are close.

    I've been saving blood points ever since the teaser trailer was released and I obviously spent blood points during cap but its a pain not to just use them all on the new survivor. Right now I'm stuck with 1000 shards until the new chapter is released and I wish I can just buy a perk off the shrine but I already bought all 4. I personally feel like they should give us more shards after the chapter is released since PC players have like 10,000k shards already. I have no idea why they didn't remove the blood point and shard cap sooner (I know blood points have a cap still).

    The game will give you a bunch of shards upon entering 2.0.0 so it shouldn't be much of an issue.
