Package Hero

I had ashift running and got entirely boned by the new prestige system. 22 stars only? I waited to sell my company when I could have had over 200million stars and I had 220k stars int he old system. I'm now fighting my way back to rank 6 where I was in the ladder and likely won't be able to now beacuse of this. I feel entirely screwed over. The only way Igot anywhere close to where I was was thanks to the daily goal thing which I somehow met over night before the change. I didn't sell my company thinking it would be better for me not to do so, starting to think IShould have to get those supposedly millions of sltars it said I'd have. I regret having bought gold at this point too.

I also got screwed over by this change. I just got to a quadrillion coins and now I’m at 25000. I also lost my upgraded shift times.

I was at 8 million or so coins, and my delivery rate was about 40,000 packages per second (or something close to that). Literally, now all my vehicles and coins are gone.

Did this new talent tree thing actually work positively for anyone? Because it seems to me like they just broke the game for everyone and took away all of our progress. I was delivering 5 quadrillion packages a second with a shift running overnight and they gave me a whopping four stars and 25000 coins! Really hope they get a ton of backlash and restore it to the way it was before.

So looks like the developers believe that over 500 million prestige stars are barely worth nine of these talent tree system stars. from being able to deliver 10.5 Septillion packages a second to now only 17 is infuriating and a waste of my time. The entire purpose of this prestige/talent tree system is to lose everything, but also gain bonuses for the next run to make the game faster. Not to lose everything and absolutely earn nothing in the process.
See, I understand server resets like this are a must have for a game like this to prevent numbers from growing massively, but these resets should come with significant rewards for people who have dedicated time and effort playing the game.
This randomly reset system and giving people 5 to 15 random stars is ridiculous and a waste of time for everyone. Weeks of effort were undone just for a few stars that will not even get you close to what you were delivering prior to the reset.
To those who dedicated actual money into this game, get your refund, leave your one star ratings, and stop playing this ridiculous, and a waste of a time of a game.

Oh, and get this, To put the cherry on the top, they have given us a generous double package delivery for the next 40 hours. I do not understand what that is supposed to achieve because that is barely a drop of water in an inferno.
Anyways, one unhappy customer signing off.

...and this is why I absolutely hate games with micro transactions. 🫤

So I already went through the Apple mandated refund process for an embarrassing amount of gold chest purchases. And I also left a detailed one star review, but of course that won’t show up for sometime. For anyone who has not seen the different messages pop up in the app, the developer has taken no serious steps to legitimately rectify their mistake, and the theft of the progress that so many of us paid for through in app purchases. Anyway, Apple is more likely to act favorably and swiftly if more people apply and give an appropriate explanation. Good luck to everybody!

I’m okay with the talent tree. I get it, but I wasn’t ready to sell my company. I could’ve had a lot more stars to spend on this tree.

I sincerely hope the developers aren't scamming and I'd like to hope that it really was a genuine mistake on their part.

I thought my game broke and I hadn't sold my company yet and wasn't intending to but this hurts so hard. All my trillions of coins are now left to nothing. I am level 69 but I have to buy over all the upgrades and all the vehicles. I was delivering almost 2 billion packages per second. Thank god I didn't spend real money on this game but it still hurts because a lot of people invested time on it. They said the game got reset but none of my coins did.

Hi the game is now prompting me to update to version 1.0.17 is it safe to do so without losing all my progress like I previously did?
I am not letting that to happen again.

I've been reading about everyone who lost progress because of the changes to Package Hero. I'm not sure how or why, but I've had the opposite experience. I only got 12 prestige points to spend; put them all in the idle tree, most specifically night shift. I plan to build up my business for another week or so before I sell again, but I'm way, way far ahead of where I was before the change. I will say, though, that after this experience, I probably won't be buying any more gold bars; I'll just take what ever rewards I can earn and also get the benefits of the premium pass.

Yes, you can safely update. I did so about an hour ago with no ill effects.
