View Full Version : Known Issues Moaning/Venting - Devs please ignore

So I'm still having trouble with a known issue, & I went to the thread about it to have a moan this morning, & the thread is locked. From the mods'/devs' point of view this is sensible; they know about it, they're working on it, they don't need more people dogpiling them. From the forum users' point of view it makes less sense, though. If something is frustrating, a place to vent and bond with your fellow sufferers is helpful.

So I created this thread. It is intended to be a place for us all to have a good whine but one that Lamia & Matt don't need to worry about, because it's stuff they already know about and are working on.

Speaking of which....

My work around for the non-resetting glitch is to go to your settings,open up the list of all your apps,chose the game and force-stop it. This has worked for me two weeks in a row.
Hope this helps.

Also, hi Jennie! Good mornings. How is your shard search going?

Yeah... It seems to be a problem with cached memory. Since I reinstalled my app a few times this week I had all of them unlocked.

Man, sorry to hear it happened to you again! I think the Devs shouldn't have locked the topic. We can just open another one (like you just did). Plus, someone posted a workaround that seems to work and it can't be posted in the original topic! It would be useful to post that there as well...

Kryton you're a GENIUS!
*goes to buy all the things*
*gets all 3* dupes again*

@Aurora, I'm getting there. I think I'll be 4*>5* able on blue first - and then all I have to do is decide between Allied Soldier and Carriage Rider Eddie... if I get Reds it'll be Run to The Hills Eddie, yellow my skeletal soldier dude who is my current champion, and purple the mummy dog. Green I really don't know. There isn't a green character I love enough...

I can see why the topic got locked - I used to mod a couple of forums - but you're right, it's unfortunate that Kryton can't now post his work around there :/

I have a Green Bat and a green helicopter dude that's pretty cool, but neither one fits nor buffs either of my projected Red or blue party's, so they aren't getting the treatment.

Weird, I thought this was fixed, because it started working for me again last week.

You know... I'm really starting to hate the RNG in this game. So far I've redeemed about 40 rare souls and I haven't pulled a single 5* character. I don't even know what to say anymore, I'm at a point in the game where I can't continue without something more powerful and the fact that this is just decided by luck is awful. You know how much rare souls cost and the fact that I can get no guarantees that I'll pull a 5* character is terribly frustrating...

Most of us, even the people here who got a five star character, have been forced to grind out the shards to get our four star characters up. I feel your pain, but the answer seems to be the right set of talismans, and a party with good synergy to get three skulls on all quests, not necessarily getting lucky from the soul book. At the end of the day we all still have to grind.

I've said this since day 1... Talismans are the most important aspect in this game right now. Even more than synergy or "good" characters.

I also feel that this game is doing something terribly wrong, you either make 5* really hard to get or make the game super "grindy" so people have a hard time ranking his characters, NOT both. Unfortunately 5* are super rare and rank materials are hard to get.

I'm sure there are hidden gems everywhere, but because we need to choose carefully who to rank we are missing most of them. One of the two need to change.

What gives me hope is the current feedback that we have with the devs. They decided to post a lot more, that is something really important.

Yep, agreed with all this. Especially the bit about hope. Vaseodin''s monster Mine is proof of the hidden gems.

Exactly, I know talismans can make a real difference. I agree, either the grinding system gets a boost or make 5* easier to come by :)

Today I am having the thing where the game hangs looking at my team through the legs of the enemy.
This is v annoying. Apologies to any troopers who have missed out on their 25 points due to this :(

Also it looks like Kaijester has been hit by the login bug - his user name has become N/A on my trooper list. His Aces High Eddie is one of my fave things to play with :(

Sorry to hear about your log in issues Kaijester, you have some AWESOME Eddie's there. Before your log in issue are you the luckiest trooper in the game as far as drops or did you spend a bunch of cash for the souls?
As far as the workaround goes I just found it by accident,I was having the same issue when the game froze. I force stopped the frozen game and just happened to look in the store and everything was unlocked WALA.
Happy to help any troopers out.
Feel free to add me as well Kryton-2586

Damn! One of the greatest players in LOTB has fallen :( I'm so sorry man, this really must stop. You had an INSANE set of Eddies right there, more than any I've managed to get so far, hope you get everything back.

I promise you that fixing this particular issue is the single highest priority for the team right now. We think our next update should cut off a number of the avenues that cause it, but it is proving extremely difficult to diagnose and resolve for good. There doesn't appear to be a clear way to reproduce it on demand. We will continue fighting this until we are sure it is dead.

I'm assuming you've tried pulling down the curtains and impaling it on a cross, and the old faithful Running Water. What about a hawthorn bush?

Also, nobody locked the known issues thread - and as far as Lamia and Leviathan are concerned it's still open. See here (http://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?185-Compilation-of-Reported-Bugs&p=4097#post4097).

Were you talking about a different thread?

Jennie-5128
08-08-2016, 05:58 PM
Yeah, there was a thread specifically about the problem I mention in the first post of this one (weekly trooper purchases locking for more than one week) which got locked. I didn't want to clog up the known issues thread when all I wanted to do was have a whinge; you guys can use the known issues thread to find and announce/disseminate useful information. I just thought us plebs needed a place to vent where we wouldn't be taking up your valuable time with stuff you already know about ;)

Ah, okay. No worries - we were all just scratching our heads over here wondering which thread got locked.

Burdens of Sin - Madness.
Gotten to the boss fight 4 times. Had the "lost interface" bug 4 times. Grr.
Add this to the mysteriously locking Trooper rewards, and this is getting quite tiresome.

Okay I tested a battle for you and found that the bug is the same at Number of the Beast. At the second stage, do not kill the blue boys when their frost shields are up. If you kill them when the frost shield are up, the interface will not load at the next stage.

This bug is harder to avoid as there are two Magus Damned Children, would suggest Soldier Eddie Roulette to heal and gain powers, with two allies that have non attack power abilities to wait for the right moment.

Interesting. Tough part is I'm going for the 10 turns or less objective.

Save fury from first round, unleash on 2nd round? Tailgunner Eddie works well here as his Fury can gain extra turns when you get a kill.

I do the same, had crashes in many different maps, even without shields (i know very well that issue), like sands maps etc...
More than a month since the release and the game has the stability of an alfa version, great work.
