For the love of God, it's 33 minutes past 10 GMT , turn the damn servers on or put a damn update notice.

Since there is no point from turning servers on with crashes and bugs things will be worst (actually they might be on but disconnected from public domain)

So just need any update,.

Update: Although the maintenance is taking longer than expected, the teams are working on bringing the server back online as soon as possible.

Why do BB never put a update up after they over-run. Trying to get one is like getting blood out of stone. Just be truthful with people and if you dont know when it will be online then tell people instaed of them hanging around like lemons.

I feel for everyone concerning daily bonuses, special mines, important buffs. There's not much we can do unfortunately, and yes - we are all in the same boat for such things.. I'm just going to keep trying when it's lunch time (about an hour)

i'm only think about my adventure, because i sent attack fight was started and server was kicked me. maybe i will have error on my adventure zones. that mean i will be without my generals. i even don't care for loot and units, all my generals are in adventure

overload => corrupt data => crashed zones
not first some lag?

Update 5.00 PM BST: Coders identified an issue. We are currently estimating the game will be back online in 4h.

if is overload problem. why then need so many time to identify issue?

29.09.15, 21:51
they will probably have finished the adv whenever we get back online lol

1 hour and 9 mins and i will have lost my daily log in bonus. 1 hour and 10 mins i will have lost my sanity lol. I think bb should give us a 200% gem sale rather then the usual 100% extra, mind you being able to log in to buy gems might be a problem.

I think they should roll the whole thing back to before maintenance and do more than a 2 - 3 week test of a major change, but that would require one to actually use a brain cell or two rather than just try and throw things up to suck more money out of players.

29.09.15, 21:56
No problems with buying from the shop, surprise surprise

i am hoping they give us all our daily log in too, as its not our fault we can't collect it :( .
i have to go to bed as up at 4:30 am for work again.... :(
Hopefully they will also give us a nice gift package too...... we can but hope ...

29.09.15, 21:58
Game was live 2-3 hours i think with the new version, before totally crashing.

Just erase the last 2-3 hours of gameplay, and put us in previous state.

Do some serious testing, then put it online.

Its not a beta version anymore, hey this is worse than a closed alpha!

"Update: Although the maintenance is taking longer than expected, the teams are working on bringing the server back online as soon as possible. "

Gosh, BB gets some issues with an massive update and its the first time in 6 months BB are experiencing problems which is expected due the massive content update that changes the entire game fundamentals. Its not like they can Stress test it, no they can actually only do this to a limited degree. It doesnt matter if BB gives us information or not, people will still complain about not getting information. Also just expect that the devs are working very hard just to fix it, they do and they dont know how long it takes, its not like its a cakewalk.

Please be careful to keep your language PEGI-7

It was PEGI-7, but ok :)

Err, the same update was inflicted on the French servers last week, and none of this happened.
Besides which, they've had ample time to absorb a lot of the issues with this update but have ignored the feedback on test server and most of us can no longer test it there anyway as the Halloween event killed our accounts.

There is a test server for a reason. to test stuff!!!!!!

When the game was in BETA stage, this stuff happened all the time, I can understand that, as the game was in BETA stage.

Can't remember when BETA ended (maybe 1-2 years ago?), However, I remember thinking that it ended too soon as it was still pretty buggy. Although, I did think, gotta give BB a chance, perhaps they have sorted the issues and all bugs will stop when it goes 'LIVE'.

'LIVE' started............. Guess what? Still buggy, still problems with updates. Still problems that where there during the BETA stage.

Since then we have had numerous updates, mixed with (you guessed it) numerous bugs!

I am not saying this is unforgivable, as clearly it is not, we are all still here playing (or trying to!)

The problem for me is that online gaming, as much as it is fun, it is more of an addiction, so not getting online is frustrating and then some........

How do we know the Devs are working very hard to fix it???? We are now outside office hours! We know they disappear over the weekend and don't come back until Monday. How do we know they are still working? An update can be posted from anywhere! (Not saying this is the case, just speculation).

If it needs fixing, it needs fixing, that's a fair shout in my opinion, but I think the updates could be more regular and more informative,

I would rather have an update that says - ' Haven't a clue what is wrong, and less of clue how long it will take to fix it'

than - 'It will be working at xx:xx' only to find that it isn't.


Sorry if I was banging on a bit then, just felt I needed to rant, and the beer doesn't help lol! If I said anything I shouldn't have or offended anyone, I apologise!

Please keep your language appropriate.

Pretty sure there will also be a happy hour for gems. Of course they'll need to pay the team overtime for solving the issue. So we're not only waiting until it's fixed, we're also paying them for their time they're working on it, lol!

29.09.15, 22:49
A couple of days ago, somebody asked in a different thread whether they would be able to get a second Major General, and a reply was that on the FRENCH servers, he had been available for a week.
This implies that it is only the EU servers that are having this major problem which is preventing us all from playing.

If this is the case, WHY? Surely, if the game works on other servers it should work on the UK servers... if not, BUY SOME NEW SERVERS... or hire some staff who can fix it.

I don't see the point in people getting all worked up over this, the game is rarely down. If we have to take a bit of pain to get new content then so be it. These things happen and BB are working on it so in my opinion lets see some appreciation for the work that they do rather than slating them.

The Us server is not right either... I have not checked them all, but the German server maintenance is soon, so that's a wait and see. Whats done is done, this cant be changed. But can we at least get an ETA that makes some sense, BB you have people that would probably go to bed if you just updated the ETA with a accurate/realistic time.. telling me that the server will be only 2 hours ago is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle

It's not about the bugs, it's about the overload I think. They need to rent extra server power probably.

Where have you been since spring? It's been laggy now and then so who could tell the difference..


Update 5.00 PM BST: Coders identified an issue. We are currently estimating the game will be back online in 4h.

if is overload problem. why then need so many time to identify issue?
I don't know, but why wouldn't it?
Servers shouldn't get overloaded. There are several preventions for this (eg login queue); of course an issue can occur among them.

One would think there would be some "compensation" to the playerbase for this monumental stuff-up not just a cash grab for BB.


what date will we be Back online at 10 pm BST ??

lol, I'm assuming they meant sometime before then of September.


A couple of days ago, somebody asked in a different thread whether they would be able to get a second Major General, and a reply was that on the FRENCH servers, he had been available for a week.
This implies that it is only the EU servers that are having this major problem which is preventing us all from playing.

If this is the case, WHY? Surely, if the game works on other servers it should work on the UK servers... if not, BUY SOME NEW SERVERS... or hire some staff who can fix it.

After today it certainly seems like they need some new servers. The old gals just aint cutting it anymore me thinks!

Most of us DO appreciate the work they do, what we're complaining about is the lack of truthful information

I appreciate the work being done, but I would rather a 'get yourself to bed, it won't be fixed until tomorrow' response, than a, 'yeah, umm, think it might be fixed soon, hopefully' response.

I am happy to stay up if it is gonna get fixed, but if it isn't just let us know.

MORE FREQUENT AND MORE INFORMATIVE UPDATES would be appreciated, instead of the not so frequent, vague ones!

Thanks!

hmmm few words can describe the technicians useless ,rubbish, waste of space,test is there for a reason to sort bugs before they get to the game so obviously bb dont listen to the players who go on test .



Great way to show respect to the people trying to fix your game right now. Maybe they should employ you, you clearly know it all and must be perfection personified :)

People can only report on the information they are given or what they hope, they can't see into the future, they can only give you the best estimates they have. If they said it will be tomorrow would you be any happier?

No updates since 20:45 BST, when it was stated "Coders need an additional hour. Game is back online approx. at 10 PM BST"
So we sit here waiting... if it said servers will not be online until 06:00, then yes, I would accept that as the situation and have gone to bed 2 hours ago ;)

Think i'm gonna get me some snack too then. Thanks BB for keeping us up to date.
We understand that bugs happen, but it would be nice to keep us informed.
And keep your so called making up presents, along with a stupid story about a fairy finding a chest and became evil so our troops had to slay her en found a treasure in the chest kind a story.

Feel bugged :((

Well I'm thankful I was able to play and get my login early this morning, And upgrade most buildings :) But I understand there's barely 2 hrs left for most to get their login bonus. The thing is when they compensate everyone gets it which I think is wrong. Maybe give a 100 gem reward to everyone who missed a login.

Ah scrap that, get on quickly :)

Err, the same update was inflicted on the French servers last week, and none of this happened.
Besides which, they've had ample time to absorb a lot of the issues with this update but have ignored the feedback on test server and most of us can no longer test it there anyway as the Halloween event killed our accounts.

Update, the version we have here is not the same as the one inflicted on French servers last week.
BB currently have 3 different rollouts on the go, no wonder it's a mess.
Of course lucky germans have had theirs delayed for "database maintenance", code for "they wouldn't be expected to put up with this"

Dear BB,

Please kindly let me know when performing any action does *not* result in a spinning hourglass for several minutes (or, in fact, indefinitely, as I am experiencing now).

Thanks.

Thanks.

That comes and goes for me, normally (fortunately) it isn't that often. It's the worse when the wife and I are on the same adventure - something seems confused by the orders to the generals (troop counts) especially. It acts to me like my computer is waiting on some kind acknowledgement and doesn't get it. I normally just cancel the window and do the action again and that often solves it - for that instance. It's just as likely to do it again it seems.

the funny fact here, they restarted the server for 30 minutes, and then modified it for 1 hour, and this 1 hour is done and its 10 minutes after the deadline.

I just hope this will fix the lags and bugs and issues of today, maybe they add a node to cluster to hold load? maybe.

Thejollyone
30.09.15, 15:27
well I met a problem today already on the quest line. I reported it, but I doubt they have restarted just for that...

However, I will take a deep breath and hope that they really want to sort issues out early rather than let them fester...

Tripi
30.09.15, 15:27
It started a bit late, so can be expected to run until a bit late I guess.

Between yesterday and today I think we are all in danger of wearing out that [Play Now] button though.

I think we all need to buy some gems so BB can buy a clock, that way maybe they can actually keep to the schedule they post with down time :p

Thejollyone
30.09.15, 15:32
I cant see how they could honestly dictate a fix time? I do see many posts ASKING them for this info.

So now they are between a rock and a hard place.. I say cut them some slack. They are trying to inform us, but can never be accurate..

Are they running Windows XP as a server? If so, a restart might take a lot longer than an hour ;)

Got to be more than just a restart really... a *nix box, even with file hash check and running unit tests, shouldn't take that long.
