Dead since roughy 10:30 am (GMT-8) Nov 21 .. seems to only be an iOS issue.. android users are playing....

It's piss poor planing on Navigator Games' part.. they wait until the last second to submit an update to Apple.. then they blame Apple for delaying the release until they can approve it. Navigator COULD PLAN BETTER and have approval of updates BEFORE any scheduled release.. But for some unknown reason they prefer to just be shitty to iOS users.

Caesar815
11-22-2019, 04:41 AM
Yeah I know. We had that several times before. That’s ridiculous. Android users can play shortly after the update is released and apple users have to wait. What about the dailys, the collectibles, the trooper badges and so if we can’t get into the game?! That’s once again totally annoying. And they can’t blame apple for that issue...

Or the absurd amounts of awakening materials for Beast... 10 purple 5* shards? Unless you're really lucky, that's 10,000 awakening shards. Which I have, but that's not the point. Need more for Cyborg, more for Moonchild, and next week I'm sure we'll have Awakenable Sandworm.

Who the hell did need another dungeon with absurd amounts of run to get (another awakenable) toons. When are we supposed to reach that aims. In 20 years or what? I am not willing to spent money but that is what we are forced to do to some extend I guess.
I just want to play “my” game. We have been waiting for silent planet for so long and each update there are new events, challenges, achievements and dungeons added. But no silent planet - it was nearly the same with BNW. The old-fashioned and long-term players are no longer addressed. It’s rather the new players...

So I have an iPhone and no android phone but (and I’m not saying this is an asshole way) if you get bluestacks on a PC (which is free) you can handoff between your iPhone and the computer anytime you want. Since it emulates Android you can get in after updates like this. If possible try to get bluestacks. Even if you play 99% of the time on your phone you can always get on after big updates like this.

I once tried to use it but it didn’t work for no reason. So I didn’t try it again. Maybe it’s worth another try. Thx Zugzwang.

!! Sorry fellow (Android)-troopers and (Android)-clan-members for not being online since 12 hours because of the update issue !!

i misread the time they said the server would restart, so quit an hour earlier than the downtime started. which meant that I didn't play most of my troopers. I thought it would be back up before I went to sleep, but it wasn't.

I'm not really bothered by not being able to play the new dungeons, but I feel like I let my troopers down through this. :(

Hello Troopers. We are still awaiting the appearance of today's update in the App Store. Our team has made the decision to drop the maintenance window to let Apple players back into the old version of the game.

Unfortunately this will mean IOS players will not benefit from the new bug fixes or be able to access the Clans feature until they install the new update at the time at which it becomes available.

For more details on what Apple players can expect, as well as further information on the App Propagation process, please read our most recent forum post here. (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?12669-Regarding-November-21st-Update-on-iOS-Devices)

Wait, I can play this on PC? Downloading Bluestacks now.
I wonder if PC is faster? With the massive number of runs some of these dungeons require, it's not so much the play time of the dungeon, but the load times in between. For Frozen Wasteland I'm running about 30 seconds per dungeon per their timer, but takes 90 seconds for the whole process.

Your not alone, did the same thing it was down for almost 2 hrs today, and when it was running would sometimes sit for 5 mins with the server sign before next run. I'd be lucky if I got 3 hrs out of that 8 hr key.

I don't think they did anything about the connection issues, all the update did was bring out more characters and a new dungeon key. Like we needed that.

I plan on doing a thread on this, but was wondering if anyone who did this achievement knows if you can use, for example, 2 Eternity Eddies at once to cut the achievement runs in half. This way you don't have to purchase 10 keys, only 5.

I've been concentrating on getting Dark Lilith and then Lucifer, so resources, especially FC is going towards getting one more LoL and maxing them all to get the achievement toons.

If I start blowing FC on the Eternal dungeon keys, then I'll feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions and not completing what I previously started.

It would have been nice to get at least 1 earned key so we can decide if we want to spend FC on this dungeon at the current time.

Btw, I was looking for a discussion thread started by the devs on this Eternal Dungeon, couldn't find one.
This dungeon is technically part of an Update, not an event.

Yup
11-23-2019, 03:16 AM
The Eternal keys are also available for Iron Coins.. that's where I got mine.. much easier than FC since I don't need any relics any more.

Ezz
11-23-2019, 03:55 AM
Hey Bakura - I took one for the team and bought another Eternity Eddie to try and no it does not count as double. So 500 FC down the tubes for me. Oh well the good news is I usually lose at least one round per key on these dungeons sometimes two so should only take me around 47,000FC to get these characters.

Yup
11-23-2019, 04:14 AM
I actually don't have Eternity Eddie at the moment :) I sacrificed him last sac event and bought one to sacrifice as well.. figuring I could just buy another one in a few days... before realizing they put a cap on the number you could purchase with FC... So I've got to wait to get Eternity Ed again.. dang it.

Dark Clairvoyant pretty easy with Van Helsing, Darkmoon Lilith, Lucifer Morningstar, Clairvoyant
(Biggest issue is Dark Clair self-granting Endure constantly)

Prince Beelzebub figured out with Oni Ed (Alchemy), W LOL (Orbit), Lucifer Morningstar, Beelzebub (Frontier)

Prince Wrath via Van Helsing, Lucifer Morningstar, Darkmoon Lilith, Wrath (Starfire - only level 40) - May be easier with Oni Ed though.

.. haven't even looked at the Eternity Ed battle.


There are several "extra" attacks from the bosses. Prince Wrath hits.. then does 2 more extra hits of true damage.... Prince Beelzebub basically always reflects damage...without shields.

These are defiantly end-game battles.. I'd be really bothered if the achievements weren't low, at 30 runs needed each.... but still.. even 30 is a chore to a degree. I hope keys drops from elsewhere eventually. The cost of the keys is the largest downfall of these dungeons.

Hey, thanks for finding that out, you're awesome. Sorry about your losses.
I currently have 2 Eternity Eds and thought it might be worth getting the new version, if we only had to get 5 keys.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I agree.

Btw, yeah I saw the keys for IC..... but I blew all of it the day before the Eternal dungeon came out.

I'll just wait on this one until I can accumulate more resources.

I wish those master keys would have a chance to drop any and all dungeon keys.
I have no need for more Viral, Trooper and Airstrip keys.

Thanks for the info on this dungeon.

Yup
11-23-2019, 07:49 AM
Dark Clairvoyant is also immune to Physical damage and she's wearing Gate talismans making her immune to magic damage.. so you will need to ht her with True Damage to kill her. (Which is why Van Helsing works well if you can remove Endure with another toon)

Great post!🤣

You're right, I've stated elsewhere that this is the 3rd owner of this original coding for the game, and that it's just been added to and patched along the way. The info was on the website and a seperate newstory about the previous devs.

Also, the connection errors started months ago when they were here in Houston, on the final dates of the U.S. leg of this game promoting tour. Then it just got worse as time went on cuz they were promoting it in South America. So as thousands of new fans tried the game, the connection got worse.

I truely believe Iron Maiden should take this awesome game to a developer who can handle the capacity it has grown into.

Old coding and lack of connection capacity..... is the reason for our dis-gruntledness! (that last word is trademark pending, lol.)

That's why I made this meme. It's looks like a Maiden concert crowd shot from those insanely large South American shows, and my idea of Navigator Games in Canada.

I read this and had a thought - with that kind of business model, there's little incentive to spend money on higher capacity servers, even renting them, if the devs can't depend on being around long enough to recover that investment.

3rd owner in 5 years ? starts to look a bit like a cash-grab exercise, rather than a sustainable thing. Look at some of the rarer characters, and how many dungeon runs it would take to earn them using ingame-earned keys and things - compared to purchase them for cash.

Is powerslave dungeon imbedded or why are we having 3h downtime in the meanwhile? It can’t be just a regular update to fix bugs. There’s more to come with it I believe 🧐.

Android here and also still in maintenance. The red info text said it would be a server restart, but this rather seems to be an update (or the server exploded).

Its ALWAYS 6-8hrs minimum for iOS... if not 24+ like a couple times if there's an app version update and it's not merely "maintenance". Thing that gets me is they've proven they don't necessarily need to "lock out" players. But some bugs may appear if you don't update. So why not wait until things have propagated THEN force the update? Similar to the "new game data" screen which forces a restart.

That last statement reminded me of the lyrics from "The Police-Synchronicity 2."

"Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away, something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away, there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore, of a dark Scottish lake"

yes it's possible.. they could submit the update then ONLY lock out players and force them to update once it has propagated.. they just manage this aspect like shit.


And they need t change the popup to read....

"Check back soon. Because we have no fucking clue how long it will take."

Ohhh c’mon .... again!?
In the middle of an already too short event ?! Where apple users could started to play nearly 10 hours later?? Maintenance?? Really??

When are we supposed to continue respectively, will it be possible for apple users to finish the achievements of the event that way?! I don’t think so ...

Let's just face it, this event was designed as a yet another cash grab and the less time you have to play they think you will be more likely to make a purchase.

But aren’t we already purchasing to some
extend ... a key costs 250 FC. Not everybody is sitting on piles of hoarded FC, IC, Ironite etc...

But, of course, Muzak you’re absolutely right. That’s totally ridiculous... any compensations or refunds? Maybe 15 powerslave dungeon keys 🔑 😂

Another ridiculous design decision: Put the maintenance window exactly at the end of an event. Because everyone likes coming home, knowing one just needs 2-3 more dungeon runs to get the last missing shards to buy the "special talisman of the event" from the event store. Except you can't, because the game is in "MAINTANANCE MODE". And of course, after maintenance, the event is over, and 1 week of grinding for shards going down the toilet. Splendif, guys!

Don’t they usually allow purchasing things from the event for a couple of days after the actual dropping of fragments ends? Like the cursed dog fragments should still be good.

Yes, there's usually a short period after the dungeons close or fragments stop appearing, when you can still buy the things.

Though I think they're more annoyed at being in a situation like... being at 2950 frags and needing 3000 and then the server goes down for maintenance.

I was at 1240 frags when the maintenance thing started, I was only interested in going for the special 1250 frag talisman, a shiny dog collar for my new purple dog, lol. Fortunately the server came back up quickly and I got the talisman. Otherwise I'd also have been a bit annoyed I guess.

Once again,
iOS users are confronted with the issue of not being able to play for three hours now while-as android gamers use to play for about two hours in the meanwhile.

I’m wondering about the fact, that no one has written anything like complaints here in the forum and especially in that particular thread yet. So, it’s me again who has to take the word. All my clansmen are able to check out the new features, but not their leader. That’s embarrassing imo.

Cheers 🤘🏻

The iOS issue has been ongoing for a year or more.. the devs simply do NOT care about it.

Do you think anyone in NF is even slightly embarrassed by this ongoing display of awesome incompetence? Yes, I know there are are Android emulators but why should I have to resort to my PC to play a mobile game?

The question is why not? You can let you computer do the grinding when you are doing something else. Besides constant heavy load on you phone kills the battery pretty fast.

I have the ongoing maintenance message here on iOS.

I also have the red future maintenance warning.

Funny. It’s almost like people are on, playing, and I am not.

Thank you, Legacy. I will make sure to “finish all my battles” before I can no longer play the event I can no longer play.

Yup

Nice to see the server reboot banner when the app wont' even fucking load.

So glad I polished off the needed frags for that last T3 Lilith cosmic last night. I'd be real pissed to be 200 frags away and spend all day waiting n the damn update for iOS. Thoughtful that devs ALWAYS do this at the END of an event.

So let’s see... moving in on 8hr downtime? At least 5 hours more than Android users. So that’s a Blood lost, minimum. And probably a SoT refill + a SoW refill. Pragmatically, iOS users are owed at least 120 ironite compensation.

And counting...

If you go back and read this entire thread you’ll see a disturbing pattern. iOS users should be allowed to play the old client until the new one is ready.

Here’s the thing Ceeg. Your post says the updates were released at the same time to their respective stores. What’s the reason the Android version can’t be delayed 12 hours since it always takes Apple between 6-24 hours to get to the monthly updates? If there was a reason already posted I missed it. Thanks.

DEVS, what compensation do we get for this???

Beware: Dark Lilith event does NOT seem to have been extended beyond the missions. Zero frag drops in lol x in one refill for me. Very disappointing, since I couldn‘t farm the required frags yesterday.

The only compensation I think we deserve is an extension of the event and dungeon. However, I don't think a compensation pack with Ironite, Gold, SoT, SoW, event frags, dungeon frags, and some souls (all the components from this event and its achievements) would be out of line.

Chances are they won’t do anything, they need to put banshee’s cosmic back to how they was for a start, sort the connection errors and load times everything else can wait I’d rather have a game that’s playable

They posted in updates, that after they make some good progress with the bugs they'll look into a compensation package for us all.

I agree with your idea as a compensation pack, or a bottle of Jameson- Cheers! Drizzit-0758
