Sparton, I hope that right now you're working mainly on fixing The Arena mess;)
I know at least one programmer is looking into various problems being relayed by our CS team relating to the Arena, at least assuming no additional stability problems arise out of what they've worked on for the upcoming hotfix.Quote:

i don't think this is entirely true since some guys i know got their points back for some reason (+400 points after one fight). i think some have an disadvatage of 400-500 points compared to others...Quote:

So basically, there are players who are higher ranked for no reason but will get the rewords associated with that rank. Sounds unfair! :(Quote:

I've fought my way up from 1500pts to +2100pts.. then again from 1900 to +2100pts... and a third time from 1900 to +2100pt again. All at only 10 ic per win. Sitting on roughly an 85/35 WL ratio... still just barely peeking into the 250 ranks and a bit over 2200pts again..... Anticipating another reset to 1900pts at any time. To be frank, I'm wondering if there is point this week? I could do more but.. well.. it's reset on me like 3 or 4 times and all that effort was diminished (not lost because I did get 10ic per win).
(What's up with The Prisoner not disabling the perfect hit passive on Kaz's Dessert Marauder? that team's a beast due to this.)
He has immunity talismans ;)Quote:

If that was to their advantage, it was awful for those players who are struggling to reach a good rank at the end of the week to receive their few rewards. If that were not enough, I even lost a certain 400-point rank for free, which would clearly be a big competitive disadvantage if I had enough to be a competitive player. What is the merit of achieving a high position in the arena if it was due to an apparently random glitch?Quote:

I had over 5000 points and was reset to 1500. Finished 5th place last week and was dropped to 3000 something after reset. Many battles against players ranked higher, and only received 12 points. Not buying that isn’t a disadvantage. Anyway hope you guys figure it out ASAP.
Yeah, why fix bugs, everyone is "compressed" by the bugs, so no problem - OMG
To be clear, I don't mean to imply that we're not fixing issues relating to the Arena. To reiterate, we do have a programmer working on investigating and resolving problems relating to Arena VP problems.
Some people are seeing VP jump in an unusual manner is news to me, and I have passed that info along to the team.
@Sparton, what's being done about the current server issues in general that are happening now?

I really wonder if those clowns will ever tell why and how high the defense bonus is.
I guess:Quote:

I have seen him not stealing very seldom (without curr decrease), so it cannot be +20%. Proportion of perfect hits is another thing, but it is ok as you as a player should also have >90% perfect hits. Another thing is the proc chance for talisman...but they are strange anyway in my experience.
I would love to see a good and challenging AI and no defence bonus in turn.
I had not even noticed a probelm as I just dont pay enough attention and I had decided not to do much this week in Arena so I did not play it for a few days after reset - so I had not noticed an issue but noted that I was the lowest I had been in months on Tuesday night. I am just doing a few battles and leaving it to be honest - probably picked a good week not to bother trying for top 250 or top 100 to be honest!
Its been nice to sit low down for a while - allowed me to mess abot with my team when facing mostly easier teams.
Also, when I look at the loot you get for the top 25 or so I am just not sure it is anywhere near worth the effort to be honest. I think I may just drop down a lot and grind away to get my IC. I have a fair number of relics already in any case, not that a few more would not help as some of those top teams are insane...I have settled for a win rate in the high 80%s.
It’s not. They should have spread those rewards out a long time ago. The most appealing thing are the skill shards, but anyone who’s been playing a while already has a good stack of them. The only thing that motivated me was the eternal frags. Once I got all four, I lost interest. And that was a long time ago. I doubt I could get top 25 anymore with my lack of relics anyway.Quote:

We'll be going into maintenance very soon (or possibly as I'm typing this) with further changes to how our servers operate to help improve stability. This should drastically reduce the volume of errors some players are seeing.Quote:

It would be so much easier if they warned the maintenance in advance :(
one day more can be a good thing for servers errors and maintenanceQuote:

Hello Troopers! We ran into some server issues this afternoon, and put up our maintenance window while we worked on a solution. The game is now open for play once again!
In light of this, we have extended the Beckoning Nightmares event by 1 hour (it now ends at 6pm PT).

Thanks for the free Ironite Sick!
Looks like there was another hot fix update just now? Not sure what for but I just dropped into the 4.5k area in arena when I was in the 1000s?
was posted before but thanks for players that didn't see it ;)
Attachment 4502
Okay, this is already the second mistake since the last maintenance. All I can say until now is was useless.

I dread to think how many free Ironite I have missed out on because I never go on FB :( Is there not a posted sticky on the forums somewhere?
I'm thinking there should be some free ironite now, since this downtime interfered with the event... That's just me, though. ☺️
Maintenence should be lifting as I type this, which is when the following hotfix will go live*:
April 12th Hotfix
- Fixed an issue where the MAX HP Up status from Piece of Mind Eddie and Warrior Allied Soldier could leave a character with that status with 1 HP.
- Fixed an issue where Piece of Mind Eddie’s Disturbance’s Trap positive effect would stun both the character with Trap and the character removing it if the Trap is forcibly removed
- Fixed an issue that caused players’ VP to drop or jump dramatically, either at reset or mid-week (Note: this fix is not retroactive)
- Fixed an issue where Troopers used with Auto-Replay sometimes weren’t assigned to a team correctly
- Fixed an issue which could occasionally case load times for various features to be longer than necessary
*Note: Some of the above fixes require you to have downloaded the newest update from your respective app store, which may take a few hours to propagate.
So we won’t get back all our lost points. Great! :(Quote:

Obviously there's enuf idiots in here that continue to enjoy getting fucked! Not me! The right thing 2 do would be to reset points to the proper ranks at last reset & refund all SoW spent this week! But u assclowns are 2 fuckin stupid for that! Too fuckin stupid 2 fix AoF as well.Quote:

Thanks for the hotfix guys, just tested PoM Eddie and his move now works as advertised. Not sure if the VP "fix" is a big deal or not. I'm at 2059 which is average for me. Sorry for the others.
Maybe....you......should... stop playing then. You sound way too over nettled about it.Quote:

No words for that...
look I lost points...
it amounts to 40 wins at 10pts per.. or less wins if you figure 12/16pts...
it's ONE WEEK...
It's NOT that big of a deal.
Agree. The point loss for me is the difference from being in the top 250 to the top 50 so I can understand being miffed though.Quote:

So missing 5 iron coins er fight for hundreds of fights from the tank to now should give us a claim to a stack of these. Anyone agree?Quote:
