Dear IronAngel

[kathleen]

Dear IronAngel, my name is Kathleen, I am the Leader of Lastrites alliance. We are a skilled group of players who truly enjoy this game.

We were all very excited by the release of alliance wars, now in our second war, we have all but lost any enthusiasm we had. Many times it is impossible to access the war menu, it will say start a new war while a war is going on. Many of our attacks go unrecorded due to glitches or crashes that will keep us from achieving victory, last war we averaged 3 stars for every battle recorded, as of this moring, 2 5 star attacks have not been recorded.

Our war record is permanent, it can not be reset. So you can see how a lose due to glitches could be detrimental to moral.

I've been a gamer my whole life, and as such, am used to a certain level of cheating, crashing, and glitching. But it will be hard as a leader to encourage my players to continue wars and attacks if their victories are squashed by crashes and glitches.

We would like to be judged on our skills, not on the inability of code writers to properly address issues in the matrix.

I would like to recommend that wars be taken down until these issues are corrected, this may not be a popular opinion on this forum, but I feel it is necessary.

Looking forward to your response

Kathleenmarie.

Umm...yes there are glitches and my alliance has had several attacks not count etc...but taking wars down is just a ridiculous idea. Even with all the issues the activity and excitement in my alliance is through the roof, we've been patient all this time we can certainly wait while they smooth out some glitches. Please do not take down wars!

 

[JuDomines]

Taking alliance wars down. Can someone please put this heretic in an asylum?

 

[kathleen]

Is it because my statement was well thought out, logical, and without rhetoric, or is it because I'm a girl?

 

[Crimsondragonfly]

I think that's a bit harsh to take wars down because some people are having problems. Following from that logic maybe they should just take Dominations down because there are plenty of glitches. I recently had one where I couldn't load the game on my tablet--for over a month. But I stuck with the game and now it's working again after one of the recent updates. This is a fun game. A tarnished early war record is something that's easy to move on from. Your alliance will be fine. Just stick through it. This is a good game and we all need to be patient as this game progresses.

none of these. It was meant to be sarcastic. I merely responded to an extreme suggestion with an extreme comment.

Probably none of the above. The issue most likely stems from your problems being more important than others enjoying the game. Pulling the "girl" card was way out of line BTW.

 

[kathleen]

There is nothing wrong with taking it down for a few days fixing the issue, and putting it right back up, the world won't end. They did the same thing with IA, they realised in, pulled it, put it back.

 

[kathleen]

26 attacks 9 crashes, means only 17 attacks were registered, even though the 9 attacks that did not register, are not allowed to be repeated

 

[Ravenlord]

I agree with kathleen - some of the best things in life are put in, then pulled out, then put in again, ...... and so on.

I have a suggestion for you Kathleen. How about the players having the crashing problems not participate in the wars until BHG updates it. The wars can consist of as little as 10 players. Surely you have 10 players not having major problems with this. Everyone crashes but it happens to some more than others because they are using old devices, have full memories or maybe they say they crash but actually used force quit to avoid the embarrassment of losing in front of the whole alliance. We had a few players crash during the last war (so did our opponent) and we still managed to win. World War has gotten people talking and coming back to the game. Do we really want to put the brakes on and lose this momentum? This game is just getting interesting... don't send us back to grinding for medals again.

Yep that's true. This game seems like it by-passed the beta testing or any other testing phase altogether and went straight to release. So many bugs. So many glitches.

Clearly, programmed by rank amateurs. And I am being nice about this.

 

[polo1967]

All nice points GailWho

 

[EternalRookie]

Glitches are an equal opportunity occurrence to all alliances ... courtesy of BHG and perhaps not fully QA'ed software . In short, we all share the pains!

 

[redprince]

Btw did you check the log to make sure the attacks didn't actually come through? I had several members who were not shown as attacking but then when I checked the log it actually did have their attacks. But this was not the case for all.

 

[Hunter Killer]

I'm with you on this one.

We've got 3 people thinking about the same thing, now what do we do...?

 

[JuDomines]

I can't wait watching you debating this issue deeply

 

[Ravenlord]

Pervert!!

 

[Martine]

Lol ...
You belong in my alliance with a comment like that.

 

[Martine]

That would be frustrating. In regards to the issue of a new war being presented when one is still happening, I too had this glitch. Scared the pants off me. Then I closed the game reopened it and it was there.
