Would confirmation dialogues on pack purchases make sense?

I’ve been playing the game while more tired than I should be tonight. And as a result, while closing the event dialogues, I managed to misclick and drop 350 dil on a ship pack.

Sigh.

I mean, that’s on me. Much like when I accidentally hit the 10 dil refresh on skirmish rewards. But, if there had been a confirmation dialog asking if I wanted to use my dil, that would have stopped me using it in error.

Would it be worth adding a confirmation dialogue to every dil spend button? Or pack purchases? Or more trouble than it’s worth?

    There are in most places, for the event pack, buying quantum. Surprised there wasn’t one for the ships pack.

    Yeah, i thought I remembered confirmations in most places, but didn’t want to try it out, because, obviously, there aren’t in some places, and I only have so much dil to burn by mistake tonight, ha.

    That happened to me once. At the moment (I don't know now) there were times that when you enter the event window, the ship pack wasn't there until a second later, then it would appear moving the leaderboard button to the right. If you wasn't careful, and tried to click on the leaderboards button right away, the ship pack would get in the way.

    I've been there as well, so annoying when it happens.

    I think adding them to every dil spending button would be a bit much, but maybe for those over a certain amount (50? 100?)
    I sometimes get the 10 dil offers during a skirmish and I'd be very annoyed if I had to click a confirmation button every time.

    Within skirmishes, no. Everywhere else, yes. This is still a mostly cash-acquired currency - there should be a verification step for it.

    Skirmish has the separate issue that others have raised before - namely that the 10 Dil button is WAY too close to the "okay" button. We've all fat-fingered the Dil purchase now and then. That shouldn't be acceptable, but it would obviously be a waste of time and effort to try to get it refunded via CS ticket.

    I just accidentally hit the ship back in the event screen and a confirmation popped up. Is it possible you double clicked mistakenly? I am on iOS, what platform are you on? Did you hit the ship pack on the event screen or in the portal?

    I've spent dilithium on the dabo wheel before. I think those confirmations pop up any time you spend 50 or more dilithium. I could be mistaken, but I think that's been my experience.

    iOS; I wonder if it combines with that rendering issue @Kanon mentioned, and slips past that way? I mean, I was exhausted so I wouldn’t put it past me, but two misclicks in a row feels less likely.

    ETA: At least if there’s normally a dialog there, either I hit a bug, or I’m an idiot. That’s actually good! And if it’s a bug, a separate issue to conf dialog in general. If anyone needs me, I’ll be staring mournfully at my small pile of ship schematics.

    It's different from when it happened to me (like more than 2 years ago), the packs now appear a little later, but the windows are fixed (it used to be that the leaderboard button would be all the way to the left, and then the packs would displace it

    If you legitimately hit the portal by accident, you can email CS and they're usually pretty good about reversing the transaction.

    I mean, I did hit it by accident, but it’s equivalent to any other opened pack, I assume. At the end of the day, it’s only 3 days of monthly card, and totally my fault. Just made me think about quite how many misclick purchases I’ve made, and how to keep it from happening more often.

    Confirmation buttons are hit or miss for me...sometimes they appear sometimes they don t. No clue why, and yes on the same device.

    I have mistakenly purchased boost packs in the past. It is dirty pool by the devs, for sure, but it has only happened to me a small handful of times, so I never made a stink about it.

    Early in the game things like this happened to me a lot. If you still have the schematics should be able to get refund as @AviTrek says. They still might be able to undo if you upgraded.

    The confirmation comes up at 30 dilithium in Dabo for me .

    I accidentally bought the second reward from the skirmish earlier today. Annoying.

    I had it with a 100k Honor purchase .. apparently the game decided i needed a second Kahles ..
    Lucky for me, this was easy fix through support ticket .. but still .. those should not be a 1click purchase..
  • Be careful you don't hit 'buy again'. 😉
