How is a high level Arc unfair? I see it as whining by those who don't have one at 80, and don't want to spend the time getting there.
GBs back, not the FPs, US20I just got booted out of the game, and got a message they were doing some kind of update. Perhaps they are applying a fix to this?
It's not so much the benefit itself that's the problem, it's the amount of benefit. Big Arcs pay out a lot of FPs and medals to players who know what they're doing, possibly more than Inno really wants...
Contributions did not get restored. I had about 8k fps out on other player's gbs that are not on the gb nor are they back in my inventory.Contributions on the current level went back to the player that placed them. All restored levels show the GB owner as fully leveling.
Seems somewhat restored, at least my mate got his 30 levels back but I ma sure he has lost on all rewards that came in at the reduced value.

Ah, just reread the announcement, you are correct. Apologies, I was responding to the previous post.The message I saw said they are "discussing" how to handle those contributions...
Which kind of proves my point.http://prntscr.com/h8coxx
all medal top holders in my world belong to level 80+ arc
So, let's review. Sometime about 36 hours ago or so, a whole bunch of GBs lost a lot of levels through some unfortunate occurence. Yesterday Inno, through their channels, communicated both here and in game that they were aware of the problem and working on it. Now they tell you that they have restored the GB levels and are working on how to fix the rest, because they thought it important to do what they could now instead of waiting for a full fix. They have expressed their apologies in each of these communications, if I remember right, and they have also offered help to those who deleted their GBs, in what could only be described as a knee-jerk reaction by those players.Panacea's announcement, for those who haven't seen it:
"Dear Players,
Thank you for your patience while we've been working on fixing the Great Building-related problems.
We would like to inform you that any Great Building levels lost with yesterday's issue have been restored to their rightful level. We are aware that some progress was lost with the initial downgrade of the Great Buildings. We're currently discussing how to handle that matter, however we believe that restoring the levels was the most important thing.
Players who chose to remove their downgraded Great Buildings from their cities are kindly requested to get in touch with our support.
We would like to extend our sincere apologies for the unfortunate situation, and assure you that we will be taking steps to prevent similar issues in the future.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Forge of Empires Community Management and Development Teams"
I personally believe that apologies are pretty much by definition NOT "sincere" if they're signed only by a PR spokesperson and not by the person(s) responsible for the screwup. For extra credit, instead of boilerplate assurances that they're "taking steps" to prevent a recurrence, Inno could outline step by step the decision process that lead to this fiasco in the first place.
Which kind of proves my point.
I didn't say unfair. I said over powered. And you know that, but you're a troll.Would love to know how you think that proves your point about the Arc being unfair.

And you're not satisfied? Because you fix every problem that you run across in your life, even the massive ones, immediately? Really? I don't think so. I think Inno has been doing all they can to remedy the situation, and I think their communication about it has been fine. You all are a bunch of whiny babies who couldn't play with your stuffed toys for a few hours. Get over it, and cut Inno some slack. Quit holding them to a higher standard than you hold yourselves.
