Stars successful, but then disappear anyway!

Hi,

I've been playing for a few weeks now and the one thing that I've noticed not working is stars.

The first problem I've noticed is that twice now (twice!!) I've SUCCESSFULLY upgraded a character with blue stars/medals. The little happy lights do their thing and their score goes up. Next time I've come to the character window, they are one star down - that is, it's as if the upgrade failed and they lost a star instead of gaining one. I am in no doubt this happened as, after the first time, I watch really carefully.

The second thing that is obviously a bug, is that I bought a blue star in the cretan labyrinth with a few gems. When I finished, the blue star was nowhere to be seen. Just evaporated.

I know bugs are a fact of life, and that's just the nature of computer code, but with stars it's really frustrating. Partly because of how long it can take to get enough to actually do anything with, but also because the stakes are very high when using them. I have no problem with the game design - i.e. the rules, but when you lose stars (I've lost 5 now) because of a bug it gets harder to see the point in playing. Meanwhile people are beating me in the arena, whose ass I should be wooping!! haha

Anyway. Rant over. Apart from that, stuff's OK. Thanks for listening... ;)

i had the same problem 2times with my cianna and 4times with bloodstorm that i had 4stars on them and upgraded and after the refresh the star was gone :S so that is like 16 stars missing :S poof gone.

so i its pretty hard to get the stars and then poof gone :s

I had the same thing happen.. I got Saffron up to 7 stars it said successful upgrade... I went back had to reset and she was down to 4 stars.. Now its failed to go from 4 to 5 stars like 6-7 times..
