Visiting Friend's Island

[Newbenji]

Barracks confirmed by one. I visited a level 50 friend with no difficulty then asked them to build a Cannoneer (which is above my level.) It's been... five minutes now that I've been trying to visit again and all I see is a steady "Loading Map..."

*Later* Refreshed. Trying again...

And passing the time by playing with another, more entertaining, little bug:



*Later still* Cannoneers complete and I'm back on their Island.

No idea how other buildings affect visits but Woop Watmahadat-Hatma! Nicely figured.

I tested this with friends. if he but cannoneers in barracks in line some cant visit him
And if he removes them again they can visit him again.

Hmm, interesting about the cannons and gunners but i'm only lvl 37 and i don't own any cannons or gunners, my garrisons are empty, nothing being made in barracks and prov house is doing nothing too but still people cannot visit me but i can visit their islands ok

Nicely figured for 1 potential source of the problem... Does not explain why a lvl 50 and lvl 47 cannot make buffs work on a level 46 player, whilst another lvl50 player can make buffs work.

I'd just completed a DB (so was making C, had some ES loaded up in queue, too - people that tried visiting me could make C, some could also make ES, some managed to get to my island, some did not, others could visit but not apply buffs)
Good luck to developers in finding the source(s) for the problem

It really doesn't explain everything. :/ But it seems to me it's a healthy reminder that we, as players, can go digging around (there are ever so many of us) and perhaps find something. *Makes things up* Does the friend being on an Adv matter? Or are they away on a buff run? Idk but anything is worth trying, just to see. If there are aspects that are purely Dev-land we'll not find them but every little bit, I reckon.

As seen here:

No clue (though I'm not convinced it's just Cannons do it, only, that's all I could try.) but someone may have another stroke of genius and that might help us and the Devs.

/end my random thoughts

So whilst wishing for No Bugs I'll still happily say "Go curiosity!"

I have the same problem. I had to visit a specific member. But I've been stuck in Idle for the past 2 hours. it's getting really annoying. It would seem, that the person in question does NOT have the same problem as I do. I'd hypothesize that it has something to do with the update from Thursday last week, in which science system was launched.

I've only had this problem with 1 person in TSO, Oddly enough, I've tried empty cache, reboot. switch from firefox to chrome, nothing worked. would you guys do me a favor and get this bugg fixed, because it really sucks if I cannot swap baskets with some particular person in my guild.



Sincerely

My daughter still has this problem. She is level 20, cannot visit anyone's island. I've tried different browsers, empty cache, CCleaner. Please everyone log a ticket. It only takes a couple of minutes, but I wonder if BB look at the forum much.

Its back again for me, after working for a while. Not sure whats changed but people can't visit my isle.

I have notified support again, but I'm yet to receive a reply for two days ago.

Please fix this Blue Byte.

Edit I actually think the problem does have something to do with units queuing for build. At the moment and yesterday I was building cavalry and elite soldiers. Today again when it stopped working the same.

So there you go BB, you have close too (if not) the very reason this exist, how long until fix please?

Edit* Could people try with elite soldiers? That is what seems to cause it for me.

Btw guys when using ccleaner, be sure to tick adobe flash cache in advance otherwise it will have no affect. Also with chrome I think you need to clean it separately.

Me(lev32) and my gf(lev40) cant visit a friend lev 41. He making elites right now, can be that a prb? Another friend(lev46) from my guild can visit him instead.

Having another go with no production in Barracks or Provision House: I still have to wait some time to visit offline players but can visit online players quickly. No discernible difference between visiting higher or lower level players. The only production I had going was the Bookbinders, which can't be cancelled.

Tried again with Soldiers being produced in the Barracks: no discernible difference between problems with or without Soldier production.

I can't test with Elite Soldiers or Cannoneers as I'm not at a high enough level.

Is a workaround down to making sure you aren't producing anything in the Barracks when you ask to be buffed? That might be a temporary solution if it occurs with troop production.

Or asking a higher level player to buff you instead of a lower level player?

I made a mistake here, i did actually have troops being made in the barracks at the time of posting, i thought my barracks had finished it's last production run.

So me and my friend have tested and it does appear to be the barracks causing the problem... my friend buffed my island early this morning, he checked if he could still visit about 4 hours later and he could, i then set the barracks to produce 50 recruits, 25 cavalry and 25 xbow, now my friend cannot visit my island again,

apologies if i have caused any unessecary confusion :-)
