【Tower of Fantasy】Follow-up on New Weapon Text Error: Devs Offer 'Pull Refund'

Tower of Fantasy recently issued an official announcement regarding a text error for a new weapon, the 'Halberd'. Players discovered that while the Halberd's passive skill matched the 'Floating Cannon' weapon, it failed to trigger the combo effects of the 'Fan' weapon as described. Despite initial claims from support that it was 'working as intended,' the devs eventually admitted the error and allowed players to request a 'pool refund' (returning all spent gacha items) via their official WeChat account.

Reactions on NGA have been mixed. Some players criticized the move, asking why actual cash refunds weren't an option. Veteran gacha gamers pointed out that cash refunds are virtually unheard of in this genre, with compensation usually capped at 'first-tier currency' (premium currency purchased with real money, like Genesis Crystals or Originium).

The comment section turned heated: some users mocked the beta testers as 'Feila' (an internet slang for useless or incompetent), arguing the devs managed to protect their revenue stream while avoiding power creep at the expense of early adopters. Others used the game-specific meme 'Do it, Zeke, you made the rules!' to mock the developer's arbitrariness. Experienced 'drama-watchers' noted that getting gacha items back is already a standard for major incidents, noting that even during infamous historical gacha controversies, compensation rarely went beyond the premium currency equivalent.
