I have never seen this error before, I haven't heard of others experiencing it and a search on the other English language forums doesn't show other people having experienced this issue before.
The only other recommendation from BB was to wait for the adventure to expire (another 10 days as the maintenance period added another 12 hours onto the 10 day adenture) and hopefully that will resolve the problem.
- I have received a locked zone error whilst in an adventure (RBN). This was about 1 hour in to the 10 day adventure.
- Immediately after receiving the error I am booted from the game back to the home screen but I can get back into the game straight away.
- Every time I attempt to access the adventure the Locked Zone Error returns and I am booted again.
- I have cleared browser cache and flash cache. I have tried multiple browsers. I have waited for the overnight script to run I have been logged out for more than the recommended 15 minutes. I have used a different computer. None of this resolves the problem.
- BB Support have 'removed what was left of the problem zones' to no avail.
- They can't cancel the adventure but suggested I do so. Cancelling the adventure from the sidebar menu icon or the quest book both cause the adventure to disappear and the locked zone message to appear. Logging back into the game the adventure returns with the same locked zone problem...
So the adventure has now expired - Great you think. No.I am sure people are thinking the 2AM script may send them back to me but I doubt it as BB has already confirmed that they have removed all of the problem arifacts that occured during the locked zone so the script is pretty useless in my case.
- I haven't received an email telling me the adv has expired and giving the xp / star coins achieved but no loot.
- I have received 2 emails telling me my Generals fought 2 camps (10.5 days after originally sending the generals).
- The adventure no longer shows up in my quest book or on the sidebar yet my generals havent yet started their journey home.
- According to the Population Inventory, and adding up the number of bowmen, recruits etc, I have roughly 600 less Military Units shown than are assigned. The missing units are currently stuck somewhere else. They cant be on the adventure as it doesnt exist anymore but they arent on their way home and they arent at home.
- None of my Generals show as returning home. They arent even greyed out (in transit) they just dont exist anymore.
An email to support was sent advising the Generals haven't returned - their suggestion was to wait a little while longer till they consider it a major issue. Well its now 6 hours later and they still haven't arrived. I've asked BB how long I should be expected to wait before this is considered a major issue but awaiting a response.
So 11 days in and still no adventuring to be done.
On the plus side I am sure BB will continue to introduce lots more unwanted features and bugs rather than focus on fixing the existing ones.
Update: BB support continue to be sympathetic but ask that I wait till the following day before its reported to the Devs as a Major Issue - forgive my ignorance but for me this is already a major issue and they have already advised me it is a known issue. Its now the following day so another overnight locked zone script has run and still no Generals or missing troops. Seems like it may be time to think about another game and hang up my TSO boots
How to get a refund on my unspent Gems will be the next question - after all it is BB code that is preventing me playing.
