Hi Cefiar,
Apologies for any confusion. We simply mean these will not be dropping from event challenges in Part 2. They of course will still be available from the Trooper Store and Heroic Souls.
...awesomeness! So where's the compensation package?
Game has been closed until now. Opened and nothing. Closed to read the forum and still nothing.
What would take the edge off of this frustrating event for me a little is if devs had timed the heroic souls to give cyborg frags when opened now instead of COTD. At least there'd be a shot at more, but honestly this is quite silly. How cool is it that a brand new player can have Cyborg eddie for 500 ironite? Awesome, that's a deal! However, it's crazy that that's so obtainable and the bespoke is so out of reach without spending a good chunk of $ and/or resources.
I guess had I known about Cyborg Monday I would've cracked open lots of heroics last time he was in rotation. But ironically if I knew to do that via experience I'd have probably had the bespoke already.
The only thing better than watching a "profesional" studio cock up is watching players act like 5 year olds to each other
so What are you proposing to do about the lack of cyborg frags that can be obtained for this event. somet of us haven't been able to hoard vast amounts of cyborg frags, nor was it said at any point to hoard the frags for the next cyborg event. some players are not as advanced as some players as they dont have the resources. bit unfair on newer players don't you think...seems like your just giving newer players the middle finger...
Game isn't even loading now, big meme.
I can log in, but can't play at all.... Great game I'm playing
ETA on autoplay actually working and not just eating SoT?
I can get to the battle screens in any works and it eats sands and takes characters but only gives spinning wheel and change screen. It never enters the battle. This includes clan boss as well.
Game is very busted. I'm done trying for tonight and will attempt to play again tomorrow. More time lost from playing due to a perfectly working game......
"Please check your internet connection and try again"
Yeah, sure. My internet which has been streaming 4K films all day, without a hitch, is the problem. It's always the problem. It's never anything to do with the servers that can only be repaired by hitting them with a club and shouting "Unga bunga" hoping that the magic hairy men answer the phone and say "Hello, I.T. Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
Gangland dungeon is broken, game goes to blackscreen between waves 2 and 3
Annoyingly, can't run any Skullquests. They all say "Cleared" too and I haven't run any since reset.
BNW seems to work. Arena seems to work too. Haven't tried anything else.
I'm seeing a weird new bug with today's update. In My Team, when clicking on certain toons to look at their equipped talismans, the toon display gets stuck on that toon and will no longer switch to any other toons until you exit out of My Team and back in again. Only happens for a few specific toons, ie as soon as I click on any of the following toons, the toon display is stuck on that toon and can't switch to any others: Ancient Mariner, Charlotte, Killer Beast, Killer Prime, Wrathchild, The Killer, Wrath, Beast Eddie. Equipped talismans doesn't matter. Plz fix.
Cant play any mode...loading symbol just keeps spinning...and spinning....and...you get the picture
Same on my end.
It seems to be caused by some characters. In my case it's Charlotte and Gunner Minotaur.
If I replace them by other toons the battle starts.
Very, very annoying :mad:
Hey, just adding info: for me the Arena wasn't working; LoL15 was working; Powerslave is still not working - wheel of death.
The Gauntlet also has endless loading. Defeat without play. Not allowed two times (AAA). Both times the team had wrathchild
If there are these errors, a new approach may be needed. Entering battles, runs according to the availability of resources, writing off the sands after the battle is over
P.S. I was able to play. However, a new approach
Good to know what the toons are that are causing the issue.
Bad that we need to avoid them in the first place.
I ended up missing 5 skull quests today thru that bug, and haven't been able to run a bunch of other stuff either.
FFS! I'm trying to run BNW with troopers, and half the battles don't start, but eats sot. Really nice job with this update!
The whole gamecode is broken right from the beginning 4 years ago.
I asked for recoding this piece of ... and the only answer was "no, it's too much work for us".
Yeah...it's easier to put more and more bugs into it.
So what...
Have a nice xmastime!
This is definitely one of the worst problems I've seen in a long time here. Each member of my clan are having different bug problems. Some can't do skull quests, others raids, different dungeons. Everyone has different issues.
Mine is with arena, I can fight revenge teams. But it gets stuck in the splash screen if I try to fight in the attack screen. Have to restart the game to get out of it.
Maybe it's the AWAKENABLE SANDWORM who is digging its way through the server. 😂
Well Thanks NF for forcing us newer players to use 5000 ironite to get the T3, i really do hope your going to compensate EVERY player who has had to use ironite that we've worked so hard to earn. Not only that but the game is in such a mess cus you couldnt do your job right first time..... i really do wish there was a way of actually contacting Steve Harris and advise him how much of a mess you lot are making of the game which has their branding on it......As if the game wasn't bad enough with the bugs, you have well and truly caused a lot more issues now and it's affecting THOUSANDS of players.......One day you'll all be sitting in your empty offices cus you've gone bust wondering where you went wrong........well I'll tell you now where your going wrong.... your focusing on getting as much income as possible rather than fixing the issues that's already present. If you got your priorities right you'd find you would have more income cus people will be more inclined to spend money on the game when it's working smoothly
Something's messed up with the raid boss rewards...
25 Baphomet battles, lots of clan souls and not a single amount of ironite. Maybe it has something to do with last week's ironite offer
You can't even buy it for 5k ironite, since u need 5k cyborg frags, and they only let u buy 5 per month of the 500 cyborg frags = 2500. Plus 500 frags for the event. So youll only have 3k cyborg frags, enough to only buy the t2. Unless u saved up 2k frags over the year, you'll still need to pay $27.99 for the t3. What a crock of sh*t.
Could be bought for ironite, starting on the first day of the event. Then there was a monthly store update
If the cyborg-fragment event store items were significantly cheaper, or maybe even removed entirely, I imagine we'd all be saying this was a pretty good, if uninteresting, event. It would have been a nice little warm-up before Part 2, and would have created a decent amount of good will by essentially giving everyone in an active clan a free Cyborg Eddie. Re-reading through the event description, I get the impression that was the intention behind this event, a small little event and a free 5* eddie to get us into the festive spirit. Which is a wonderful intention, and you should definitely do more things like that in the future!
However, the lovely road paved with those intentions, leads us to the event store, which is the source of all the bad will. Currently the 500 fragments we can earn is rather useless and there are no real decisions for us to make, other than "Do I want to open my wallet?". If the prices were cheaper (1/10th of current prices for example), those 500 fragments could have offered a real choice. Say I could buy the T3, but couldn't also afford the Cyborg Awakening Shards. That's a more interesting situation. I could buy a few more fragments, or maybe settle for the T2 and the Shards, and pick up the T3 the next time it is reprinted. Or stick with the T3, and gamble on getting the Cosmic Cyborg and not worrying about awakening the regular Cyborg until later. Those are more interesting choices, on top of the initial "Do I need a Cyborg Ed, or should I use the fragments in the store?" decision of course.
Alternatively, having the activities mentioned in the challenges drop a guaranteed amount of cyborg frags could also have been another way to avoid these bad feelings. If the drop rate was set at a point where the T3 would cost the equivalent of say 1-2k Ironite, similar to the cosmics in character fragment events, I honestly think we'd be having a completely different discussion about this event, and working together to tease out the most efficient way to spend our fragments. Rather than, well, you've read this thread :p
Yeah, it's frustrating, and I'm glad there is a compensation pack, but it is easy to forget how tiny little mistakes can cause huge cascading things to break when it comes to coding. Should this recent game-breaking bug relating to certain characters have been noticed before it went live? Yeah, of course. Breaking things is easy, getting things wrong is easy, I do that all the time, but being able to quickly determine what caused a problem like this, and have the fix ready in a day? That is far less easy, and deserves some credit at least.
(Am aware this comes across as me saying we should praise people for doing their expected job... and yeah, we should. We should do that for everyone, regardless of their job.)
So the second part of the event started tonight and though it looks to be promising it appears there are some issues with the game; connections issues are plaguing some players, while others such as myself aren't seeing event progress counted. This is particularly apparent for the labyrinth dungeon with a cosmic cyborg character, which happens to award the most event currency to players. I would really like to enjoy this event as I am sure others would, but it is currently very broken.
Let's keep beating the dead horse
