Announcement: This Week's Challenge Issue with Round Passes

In this week's Challenge, some players have encountered issues with their Round Passes at the beginning of this Challenge. The problem is related to Round Passes not gained from the skipped Rounds at the start of the Challenge.
This issue affected players who started playing the Challenge within the first 30 minutes (12.00 UTC - 12.30 UTC). After that time, no other players were affected.
Unfortunately, the Round Passes lost cannot be returned to the ones affected. The compensation for this problem (more information about it will be available later) will be provided next week, due to the fact that the Round Passes not gained are the ones that would be used for the next week's Challenge.
If you have been affected by this issue, you can continue playing this Challenge normally.
This also means that the planned improvement for the Round Passes will be postponed until the next version 3.3 (getting 2 Round Passes instead of 3 past Challenge Round 30).
We deeply apologise to the players that got affected by this problem.

I'm skeptical here
You guys know there is a limit to what one can handle, right?
"Grind Fix"... Sure.
Also looking forward to placebo gift of eternal free gas and 100'ish gold for next week. Certainly covers all the 3k gold burning to reach those round passes missed and of course my lifetime of enjoyment.
Bad move and no more gas booster as compensation, for it can't solve the problem every time.

I started the challenge around 45 minutes ago and only noticed after I'd done the first round. Im on round 16 and only have 1RP to show for it 😣
I want to know what's next after a deep apology? A heartfelt, subterranean apology?
I'd suggest all players get one share of NextGames stock as compensation for these continual problems, but the sad fact is that a 24 gas booster is presently worth more than the share of the stock.

Long story short; get rid of RP, make each difficulty 1 round only. I also call for a weekly quest system, the idea being that it will encourage us to replay rounds for more stars. Therefore we can reach higher levels faster, and there will still be a grind, but at least the grind will be task oriented and break up the monotony of the current grind.
This will obviously take some time to develop, but I don't think it should take that long. There is already a daily quest system, just expand it to include more tasks and give stars as rewards.
@Vane Or please just do something, anything else. My main point is that the Challenge is still too much of a grind and RP are just a sad attempt to mask the problem. And when we lose our RP people just get really pissed off. There has to be a better way than the current system.
Seriously 🆖 we love this game for the most part but there are only so many times we can take it right up the 5 hole and continue on.
@Vane how you will fix this? This is the third time this is happening in last month. Played rounds must be kept in database why you are not able to recalculate this and just add to each player that was affected by this.
Smh
Can your muppet programmers do anything right? @Vane
I'm really starting to hate this game and the people running the show at Next Games.
