【Gossip】Alchemy Stars Launch Fiasco: Monthly Card Rewards Flip-Flop and Vanish

The launch of 'Alchemy Stars' has been marred by a chaotic rewards system. Players were bewildered as the requirements for claiming the monthly card kept shifting overnight, leaving many confused about how to actually secure their bonuses.

The situation escalated when, despite the developers switching to an 'unlimited' claim status, the rewards failed to appear in players' accounts. This led to a 'Schrödinger's Monthly Card' scenario—the item is both claimed and unowned at the same time. Eventually, the status flipped back to 'limited', a move many attributed to the notorious management style of the publisher (Tencent).

In the comments, the community expressed deep frustration. Some questioned the grind required to hit the level threshold, while others mocked the 'air' rewards they received. Screenshots shared by users highlight how the developer frequently flip-flopped on the rules, fueling community backlash.
