Yes, nice to get some notice for a change.

Just wish it wasn't clashing with Wimbledon fortnight. :(

Thanks for the change log details. Please return the star menu back to how it was before the last update i.e when you open it, it now goes back to the top, instead of the line you were using before. Also, really would like to see the progress bar in battles returning, and can we have the trade office screen put back to how it used to be? Otherwise, great improvements since the Easter Event, thank you!

The 4-letter words, f*** and g***

Just shows that "levelling up" is a meaningless slogan if the intent doesn't back it up.

I wanted just mark a change on island building space in sector 1. Above 2 stone deposits, there used to be 2 building places. Now, there is only 1 and it does not make sense, as there are no new trees or other grass things. I think mountain on which are positioned those 2 stone deposits did grow above, without visual mountain texture. This change took me a little by surprise. Just wanted to let you all know about that stealth nerf. I hope it is not just a bug with map.

probably the result of the unlocking and relocking of stuff but who really knows, probably not even BB as they dont seem to test very well nor investigate too much ::

Will the hotfix on the 21st June be early morning or lunchtime/afternoon?

i personally would like to add the following suggestion.

how hard would it be for bb to mail all and notify these things, some of us leave it logged in for faster game play, which also brings me to my second point i have to refresh to get daily rewards, why it doesn't give me notices or updates pending that shut down game, it just relogs me in and gives reward.

people plan there game time and i find this poor form, from a game being a global game, i am into a adventure restocked my soldiers but game comes back when i need to sleep, the 3 hours i had are evaporated and i get only my premium time and adventure time extended by 4 hours yet i loose more then a day playing.

these things have to have at least a 72 hour notice thats seen to all, login page and mail to avoid the disruption to a players ability to finish a adventure or if want to keep this path payout the adventure in full and do whatever want, but making players search for other games from lack of communication, wont end well.

15.06.22, 11:03
Please fix achievement rewards, we really need them working again - like those giving a tribute after completing an adventure by meeting some conditions (like not using cavalery or something...). Fixing visual buffs is good, but that barely touches the surface of the problem. Thank you for trying to improve the game and to restore it!

Qualan
15.06.22, 12:59
suggesting other changes and improvements in the changelog thread is one of the most certain ways to get em never seen again.

There are 2 perfectly fine sections on the forums to use, and if we have to believe Traffer, all bugs get on their lists and suggestions are passed on when appropriate.

Use those (and check if it is not an endless repeat of the same problem which they are already aware of (and worse alreade acknowledged they are aware of.

Was the downtime yesterday evening (approx 12 hours after update finished) related to the update?

Harlequin_1963

Downtime always appears to happen after an update, looks like an automated ( scheduled ) process resets routing tables so that the servers are mapped back on bad internal IP addresses, rather than the ones they should be on.

When I was in IT ( Network and server ) this would have been a case of
Once is careless, twice is bad change control, more than twice is the system intentionally doing it, or no one with the knowledge to fix it. ( or no one cares enough to want to fix it )

I will sign up to the last option as many a bug/feature etc seems to be in that same mold - for example the previous event bugs being perpetuated every following event and the locks on event goodies in the market even when they said that the item would be available for everyone in the event and even when we suggest here or on test forums to check these lockouts, they still show up on live servers and never get fixed

While hovering over a general with the mouse
https://i.imgur.com/4PnLglV.png
and typing in the search window the name for an explorer the generals tool tip changed partly into the tool tip for the explorer.
https://i.imgur.com/RkjKefd.png
And a second tool tip appeared. This normal tool tip disappeared, the changed generals tool tip
https://i.imgur.com/Vr7j51A.png
could not be removed until I hoovered over the original general then the tool tip changed back into the tool tip for the general
https://i.imgur.com/m7770a9.png
and would disappear shortly after.

It would be much better if any tool tip disappeared after a short wile even the wrong one, or especially the wrong one.

Agreed, it was the same servers went missing as did in the last 2 occurrences, Germany, France etc... were upand running as normal following the maintenance, while the UK, CZ were completely uncontactable via browsers, mobile phone with the same mainly white page with "ERR_Connection Reset" messageappearing after considerable delay. Eventrying to load cached pages from History failed.
These maintenance keep corrupting the IP addresses of certain servers, and this has happened often enough for it to be a "known problem" so why are BB still letting it happen.
When it does, our only option is totry and contact them via email or the forum of an unaffected language version, we cannot even access our own forum and the last BB activity on Fakebook was to announce the upcoming Xmas 2021 Event!

Apart from the repeat performance of the servers going AWOL, very disappointed to see no change in the behaviour of popups/tooltips. They're still persisting on screen as much as before and slowing the game down, and creating things like short letters sees them covering the star menu button like a bad smell until you next reload the game. :(
Was looking forward to this fix and can't work out how they can claim it when visually it's obvious. Either thiswan't tested or the fix exists purely in the mind of some programmer.
Sadly, the foreign ship is now regularly triggering fatal javascript errors, seems even worse than before this update. :(

twitter is even worse- They forgot the social in social media and the media as well i guess

So, having a hotfix within 3 hours from the start of an event must be a record!

Wish they'd fixed the sugar glue as fast!

I remember one within 60 minutes during an easter event, when I get back into the game I can tell you which one, due to me walking away from that event it was such a mess, I was sub level 42 at the time.

Harlequin_1963
20.06.22, 14:59
90 more minutes added to hotfix, guess they need to hotfix the hotfix

Al_The_Mighty
20.06.22, 18:37
Well, the maintenance officially ends at 19:30CET according to landing page, which is an hour ago. So now they must be hotfixing the hotfix to the hotfix ... or they have all just gone home and left us hanging!

If they are 'fixing' the merchant window and the extra bundles it offered, and it's taking this long, why don't they just say say "oh what the heck, give the stuff to them all". They have messed around with the game for the last year and made it at times near unplayable, so why not give us something back? It's only pixels after all!

does anyone know when or if the game will be online tonight ?? would be nice for BB to give an update about the amount of hotfixes they are doing and how long its going to take. Doesn`t bode well at the start of the event

Qualan
20.06.22, 18:55
no it wont be online today anymore

they did say "about" a 10% leeway is then considered ok, they been down about 20 hrs so 2 hrs give or take? :P

-All I wonder about is why send staff home when they're not just not done, but also have initiated implementing something that - again - late - again - something so obviously wasn't debugged before they pushed play button. B

"Leading"..

Qualan
21.06.22, 09:22
thats been SOP for at least the past year- it only failed bigtime once or twice so maybe it pays off in less hours spent on the game *shrug*

But a BB posted update would be nice instead of crossposts by players from german forums

21.06.22, 09:25

What's happened with this game? Why I can't to enter in the game with newest updated client(15.06.2022)? On standard PLAY button with unity is island unvisible! What you are confused it, BB?

Qualan
21.06.22, 09:47
sigh

stop whining about client to BB, it is illegal software and not supported by them, so u have to wait for the new file to fix it- which is made by a player :P

Dar_iron
21.06.22, 09:53
Nonsense! How shall we then to play this the game? Across unity web which never not working properly?! Oh come on!

Qualan
21.06.22, 10:03
HAHAHAH

u are funny

Guess what

BB has stated multiple times that client is NOT supported and they only support unity- For whatever it is worth, thats the party line and it doesnt really matter what we think or feel about it

If u play on client, bb already said it is illegal and done at your own risk (for now) so you just have to wait till sirrus updates stuff and then run it (at your own risk)

we don;t like it but it is what it is

amazola
21.06.22, 10:05
No tabs here, chat, trade, officers etc. nothing

Qualan
21.06.22, 10:06
it is fixed now and yes, chat is still acting up badly

Brobekk
21.06.22, 10:06
Client belongs to somneone else than Bluebyte/Ubisoft, you should adress all issues to them. Unity is what they aimed for and with all its backfires BB accepts client as a third party solution wich will last - my guess - till they get Unity up and running 100% (more than a year later).

Its not illegal, but its untill further notice accepted because they cannot fix their own issues on Unity. Wich they would have known was a theme if they just had googled Unity before signing any agreements :-)

Dar_iron
21.06.22, 10:14
Why then didn't done update for fixing all errors in unity, if is it them politics? Means, we need to play on broken unity web, where you can't practically nothing to play and have so much unsolved glitches and bugs! Then what are theirs for updates,when for there never didn't solved problems?

I see to work chat and quest book! What is with home island and visit which not working on unity? I can' t to see my generals and them send in adventures!

i got a lot of mini freezes after this hotfix : (

Qualan
21.06.22, 10:41
update client file again and it should work

after emergency everyone logs on and a ton of back player tasks gets done so servers will lag for a while and in event thye always lag anyway due to event only players showing up again )

Brobekk
21.06.22, 10:46
got a ton of mini freezes too, but I got my mini adventure back (was gone ealier today after the downtime)

Half of the games available today have Unity as a game engine. Currently their market share hovers around 50%. This claim about Unity being unreliable is just ... I can't even. Blame developer incompetence, not the game engine which has a proven track record.
