    95% of the offers were "play another game and get to level xx" or "buy stuff in that game".
    I had one other offer, which was a survey but after completing it it redirected me to another survey and then my patience ran out.

    Will not use it in the future most likely.

    The cheapest dilithium tends to be the one you pay for.

    Trying is the first step towards failure.
  • It's optional free dilithium from a button that wasn't there before. If whatever revenue stream helps TP offer continued improvements to existing features and development of new ones for Timelines I'm happy.

  • I wont be using this feature at all this games "improvements" are getting more and more disapointing every lto of late is junk is why you arent making money the campaign cards are lackluster the portal frequency of legendaries has been atrocious since tp has taken over make these few changes start running things a lil like you do around convergence day and you might start making some money off of us again

    I didn't think about this, obviously.
    And I didn't think about the possibility of the ad provider collecting user data without the player's knowledge. That's super shady, so I hope we get some clarification on that. I think it's time to turn on my VPN and just deal with a little slowness.

    A VPN won't stop the data privacy issues.
  • i clicked on it once to see what it was. Just the Word "free" being used is an insult. How stupid to you think people are? For God sake the whole thing is shady as hell. You either give away your personal data on surveys to god knows who or pay on other games you possibly dont even give 2 sh.... about to recieve Dil on STT? hows that free ? it is misleading and quite honestly false advertisement. Dont call it free. You do know what free means though right?

    And yes im aware of, i could just never click on that button again, which i sure as hell wont do unless i click on it and get 5 free dil or it disappears just as quickly as it arrived lol

    Just a small note, this way you wont earn more money. For once as you claim you do, you should listen to your players, cause last time i checked some of the people here are having great ideas to enhance gameplay that would actually hook people to play and have them possibly spend more money, but no have to use the cheapest way. I know Capitalizm is least amount of work and most possibly earning but this might only work for a while and then you go down hard, and then there is no saving this.

    Just my 2 cents

    As I'm largely ignorant of technical details with apps and data collection, grateful to those of you who are knowledgeable and helping us sort through the details.

    but isn't this a responsibility of TP? Before rolling it out, or to not roll it out if it's unsafe, instead of just "New feature: You can do these offers for free dilithium. Hoorah!"

    Over the past few years although there have been some errors, maybe out of naivety I've come to trust DB/TP to the extent that I don't have my infos extracted without my consent, due to anything connected with the game.

    Even if I don't click on one of the offers? I just know that it does change the ads that I get. I assumed it anonymized some of my data.

  • Now I am really upset. I once again clicked one offer and then checked the privacy settings. There is an endless list of permissions and most were checked. I unchecked them but I do not even know if by submitting I agree to the ones that are "essential". TP please clarify!

    Did it come up with that, or did you select an option for more granular control over cookies?

    If you didn't purposefully go for a granular view, and that's the default, then that looks like the kind of "baffle them with BS" route some companies have taken with cookies. It's irregular and immoral.

    They should offer you the ones grouped, with refusing the functional ones stopping you using the page and the others entirely optional.

    Hope I didn't across as snippy, as it wasn't meant to, but there are so many moving parts to things these days.

    I'm hoping we'll get some clarification too, otherwise I'll have to pick between locking down my phone, or only playing via the desktop.

    For such a small piece of functionality in the game, it's not been handled very well.
  • Not happy with The Wall. Just end up on dead links and I prefer not to be tracked or give up personal info. ST Timelines could do better.
  • This is really the only thing that worries me too. The company running the wall doesn't seem to be very trustworthy, given the kind of options it offers that have been mentioned here.

    But I just assumed that "whatever happens in the wall stays in the wall", as in, if you don't use it, nothing changes and only if you actually go through with one of the offers, someone might ask to collect your data as a part of it.

    I really don't have much knowledge on these topics, but did I understand correctly that what people are worried about is that the wall company is now collecting our data through the Timelines app regardless of whether we use the wall or not? What kind of data could the collect this way?

    "Directly - from your device through our SDK integrated by app developers in their apps"

    so yes not just indirectly from the pop up websites but actually in game, it's not just a button.

    On the bit when you click off it and it says about offerings paying up in a few days - I clicked on more info - the page was blocked by my broadband provider due to it being seen as a phishing and malware site. Sad to say but after 3 years, VIP 14 and captain level 99 this is getting me checked out now. Shameful

    The more info button leads to our FAQ on our zendesk portal.
    Why it is reported as nefarious by your broadband provider, I do not know.
