Shieldmaidens are these useless f*ckers : http://dominations.wikia.com/wiki/Shieldmaiden

those of us with the night witches are tongue-in-cheek about loving them; everybody would have more long-term fun without this problem.

as the hotfix is in practice optional (at least for a day or so), there is an unstated decision procedure; delay upgrading it and enjoy night witches for another day, and another....? there seems to be little motivation to 'patch' .. it introduces serious problems and takes away a huge (unethical) advantage.

it's unfortunate 'optics'.
i would have included another tangible change (not shieldmaidens lol) to give a little motivation to give up the witches; it would not take much... but not really necessary.

i recommend that the community have patience and not be mean about it.
however, as conciliatory as i can be to our game-developer-friends, i still recommend my alliance hold off the upgrade until we have enough people give positive feedback.

 

[obsidi]

it's harder to build your own alliance than you think. you have to build a cohesive group.
it's almost always more effective to join an established group.

This is Nexon. Never upgrade until forced, let other people be their beta testers. Too much obviously going wrong with this hot fix to even think about it right now.

 

[John Robert Basham]

We are established, eight members in our little gang, we love to share troops, moving ahead very quickly.

I think night witched shouldnt even be allowed one last use people have abused them enough already. You guys should just outright take them away from anyone that have them instead of allowing one extra use

Fully agree.. even though I have the NW air base (I havent loaded it yet) Ive been freaking BS raped by slackers using and abusing this. I guess I cant blame them, but heck it needed fixing long ago!

 

[Funks]

only to people that didnt use and abuse them. To the peeps that have them they were wonderful

 

[Funks]

I have the NW air drome.. yet havent even loaded it yet. Do I get a star? hahaha

 

[Funks]

See guys... never loaded mine.. dont hate me >_<

 

[yemen]

The hangar was never a problem, it worked perfectly from the get go. It was the troop cards in the stronghold.

Great that these are being fixed. But unfortunately this just demonstrates the utter disregard that Nexon/BHG has for massive issue like the maxed atomic misranking bug and sandbagging, which have lingered on for months now. Sandbagging is approaching its 1 year anniversary for pete's sake. Both issues are game breaking and killing the community, and have had Zero effort to be addressed. Yet if they aren't able to sell air cards or hangers or whatever, omg, let's get this fixed asap. kinda a slap in the face tbh.

Nb4powerup the community is getting Very Very frustrated between these longstanding issues and the rediculous P2W components that have been added as of late. We really need something to happen last week. Not looking into it. Done. Give Something a try, as it stands, nothing could get broken worse than it already is w an attempted fix....

Interesting hot fix. I still get attacked by people with night witches who have not updated because the update isn't mandatory (or maybe they updated but still have unlimited night witches? ~I wouldn't be surprised). The fix to allow war base for Friendly Challenges ended up disabling the Challenges altogether. There seems to be a new host of additional bugs with the update as well. But hey... at least my shieldmaidens have a 10% buff... Whoohoo! Best patch EVER!

 

[Flage]

It's really ridiculous to do the update to fix a bug that's been present for a long time that cause angry player becouse their resources are stolen without anything being done.

I finally saw that the update was released and I'm happy because I will not be robbed every day of the many hours to accumulate resources and instead continue to be attacked by pleyers who continue to use the night witches.
A player called "jywoo" attacked me 2 times in 20 minutes with 3 witches of the night both times. And today i recieved attack from 8 different player that use only the night witches.

The result is that in the last 24 hours I've lost 40k of oil ....

I opened 7 tickets that were quickly closed by your support saying that they apologize but the problem is solved and give me the forum link ....

I hope you chenge the updato to mandatory and do not allow you to do multiplayer attacks without up-to-date software.

 

[Funks]

yeah what Im saying is I never loaded mine.. so no problems to others from my planes.

 

[Loonbuster]

It seems such an obviously necessary control to make it mandatory to update before continuing to play- there are still people out there using the Nightwitches happily. They can continue to do so easily as long as they don't update. So possibly for months yet!!!

 

[Spaceboy]

bwaaaaa..this is an optional hot fix if you want yours nightwitches to die. If you want to keep them alive, do not install the hot fix

 

[obsidi]

due to my account corrupting i had to re-install to provoke the town re-load from the game-center, and lost the night witches.
the game changed to not caring about oil, because others raid mine unfairly; karma's a *****.
we would all be happier if this were not the case; it's still "broken" in the sense that it's a different game than the one they designed and that we want to play.
i don't think "attrition" of older installations is the answer either; i think they need to do 5.5.y or 5.5.2 or something; just patch again correctly.
notably 5.5.x didn't disallow troop exchange between patched/unpatched people; that wouldn't have solved the issue but it would have been better.

 

[kunghe]

Does Nexon find any solution to solve the disappeared buidings after update these patches??? We can start over... but it's very disappointed that the Wonders can be built before Industrial age have not be seen in the Store!!!

 

[Motaz Tarek]

really man these are the least u should worry about
currently there are bugs that allow players to have like 16 tactic space or over 300 troop space and double or triple their max alliance gate space

this game is suffering from very critical bugs ongoing since several updates without fixes

 

[Shpalladina]

Might be because they haven't used them until recently. I still haven't used mine yet :-D
