it is amazing how this triggeres an immediate hotfix whilst locked packs and explorers and generals never get fixed ...
Too true, what bugs will become of the fix to remove purchased items from isle or star, I even saw some selling 5 x buildings at once via trade.Quote:

didnt even noticed, as didnt browse market w/out any balls available. lol.
it could have been much worse and explorers and generals and gems in the testshop like on testserver- then we'd be shut down all day for a rollback from backups :P
That would have caused some "quick clicking"Quote:

at least one goal for this event is done by BB, maintenance in first hours of event, check.
We wanna upkeep our standarts, yours BB. lol
Thank you for the report. We are currently undergoing maintenance to fix issues with the summer event.Quote:

what is one to do, normally i goto the test server whilst they do the live fix, but the test server is still down since the outage last week
well, if history is anything to go by, the ones that clicked are lucky and the others will have to hope on a few cookies in the mail that the lucky ones also get :p
BB is a firm believer in the early Bird getting the worm :P
And they keep telling us that test and live are separate, and something that works on one isn't guaranteed to work on the other, so why would a live server have the ability to activate a test merchant setting ...............
where did mypost go?
someone being overly sensitive
very unsportsmanlike for those who didn't got a shot to buy those packages
am more bothered about the downtime robbing obs and Scout time only get to use once a day but only says Prem and Addy time wil be extended. up until the fix I was dare I say impressed with the improved playability from the last event , no where near as glitchy or freezing so BB are on the right path , an djust as I though that , lost connection
Ah, I should have taken those free-bies .... now I feel robbed ...... hahaha
Shall the honest players get a special item for being honest, or just a consolation reward for being dumb? ...... lol
Which brings back the question of why do fixes take so long, several hours? When elsewhere it takes literally a few seconds. Just kicks you out of the game, and you log back in straight away or just less then a minute after.
the second one Nort , the lazy approach does not always pay dividends. As someone put it the earlybird catches the worm, lol
Well - we can add any tab and content to the store. Updates usually first land on the test server, and after testing and additional changes, they go to our Live Servers - in this case, when implementing the new version, we had something that should not be there.Quote:

I logged in about 15 mins before maint so I didnt see this. Will the players who bought these actually get to keep them? Surely not.
Ok Traffer fair point well made, what about the obs and Scout times they being extended too ?
it is usually much harder to selectively undo this than to let it slide and same goes for rollback. In the past a fair few times similar issues have had the saem resolution: fix the bug but not retroactively correct this on a player levelQuote:

They keep having the same repeated problems, servers going offline/routing broken, and still can't get to the bottom of it.
Some "Item laundering" already happened. People bought em, traded, placed on ground, upgraded, moved, etc. tricks.Quote:

Oh oh, you insulted somebody and I missed that? All the fun gone? Can you whisper me .......... lolQuote:

BB is busy inventing and designing new buildings to increase load on game and syncronisation - so they dont want to waste time testing things on testserver - there only an 'early version' was tested and no updates made ( and it has been unavailable for almost a week now )
Maybe they had to test something about bundles and and instead of 'wasting' time to update testserver, they made a 'test shop' on the live version they were working on - and then forgot to remove it before copying it to live servers.
They would need to roll back everything to before event started ( mail , star , store , island designs ) , and I doubt they keep regular database backups or snapshots because only a snapshot would be guaranteed to have everything correct at a particular point, or it wouldn't take so long to fix things normally.
I doubt they know how to run something like Veeam.
That really does leave a sour taste towards the game for me if not addressed properly etc. I've played the game on and off since it started pretty much but i've been lucky enough to miss any major issues. Having bought gems to support the game and this happens, its not just a couple items, we are talking a lot of resources and buildings even training barracks etc, I'm not sure how many of those you could get though.
And I feel neglected cause Trafffer never answers my questions ...... haha :)Quote:

It's amazing how much people remember about the game and it's fiascoes. I can hardly remember what happened last week, much less last event, and last year is in total darkness. I just come, play, and then forget there was such a thing as TSO, until something reminds me again :)
It seems to be a very long hotfix, considering it actually started before the advertised time
Maintenance extended by another 90 minutes, this must be a massive hotfix.........................................
what a great event this is turning out to be, most of my explorers will be sat at home, all the buildings around my love tree will be having bad production due to love tree buff ending and unable to sleep those buildings, and down time just keeps getting extended, great job BB
