Anyone else?

Same issue here. We just merged factions and have secondary energy accounts with dozens of energy packs benched that we can not move in and out of the faction currently. Incredibly lame sauce. Did an incredible amount of saving up. And now it's all going to be wasted.

Probably won't finish masters without gold now. Gree can expect a lot of hate mail over this.

It's Gree's way of trying to combat people from acquiring or "selling" the Grim Ares +5 regen unit from the Grim Harvest FLTQ. There is an exploit that allows people to jump into factions that completed the Master level of this event and get the reward.

This is beyond unacceptable. I went to donate money to my mini faction and I am now stuck in limbo. Gree better sort this out fast. The longer we set out the more units we will miss out on. I wasted a ton of energy doing the speed event so far also.

Same here. They show up as requesting, then when I accept them it say's server error. They get the old war splash screen like they're in, and then they're back out and no longer requesting.

I even tried to do it by sending the person an invite from the leader acct. got the message "Faction Invite Failed - This person is already in a faction", even though they are not in a faction.

And he's missed out on nearly the entire FLTQ Master rewards already.

I'm a long time player that is embarrassed to say how much I've spent on this game, I went to donate money to a less fortunate faction and have been locked out for 12 hours now. Maybe it's time I quit this game considering Gree doesn't give a (expletive) enough to respond to tickets or even acknowledge there's a problem.

Doc, I've been thinking the same thing. I'm sure they are doing well on revenue based on the player base and the advertising they bring in, so why make the entire community so angry? Let's be super nice and assume it's not intentional, why didn't they stay up all night fixing it?!? (Assuming they are in my time zone :)

It is intentional, they messed up on the 5% health regen unit for masters and now I'm getting punished for their mistake

Gree get off your collective dead asses and respond. Tahdah wtf you useless worm do your job and respond to your customers legitimate complaints! Gree's sop is to fail miserably at programming and then punish players for it. Every mod on here can suck it your as useless as tits on a boar hog. Here's to wishing every possible kind of bad on your useless asses.

Bobar
10-30-2014, 08:42 AM
gree, just in case you consider to lock factions during every event, keep in mind there are so called events all around the time (just because it seems you dont even see the obvious things)

Kefa
10-30-2014, 08:56 AM
It isn't saying "factions are locked" like it does during Frontline. It just gives a server error "updating faction data".

We have a new member who left his old faction to join ours and now he can't get in, can't participate and has missed out already on millions in rewards.

We have 2 accts who left our llp faction to come to the main for this event who are also now missing out.

And still no word at all from Gree. Not even a "we are looking into it".

Must be a holiday or something.

There hasn't been an event that worked properly now for a very long time. It's difficult to keep a team together under these circumstances, and considering this along with the last FLTQ disaster and the $1.5b worth of unrefunded deprecated Frontline units sitting uselessly in our inventories, It's time to seriously consider other options.

Saying nothing...is saying something. Think about that for a moment. The lack of responses to paying customers, regarding actual issues, is quite unbelievable. The silence you hear is the response they choose to provide.

Factions are locked because of the glitch where people could get the Grim Ares unit. What gets me is that they give people the unit for speed masters because of a technical issue but it's a big **** you to those of us in factions that could have finished the masters faction portion but couldn't because of the technical issue they experienced. My main faction got locked out at 3/20 and due to how long we were locked out were unable to finish but would have if the event was working properly. It isn't as if all factions got locked out at the same point from what I've read. Some factions were able to get much farther before being affected. I would like the prize for finishing masters to be awarded as my faction would have rightfully earned it. What they should do is just award everyone the unit and refund gold spent by those who used gold to complete the Indy portion.

The only way we are ever going to get the respect we deserve as customers is to hit them where it hurts, in their bank accounts. They don't care one bit about the people who put food on their tables and roofs over there heads, so we need to band together and refuse to spend another dime on the cowards from the cowards!!!

You are looking into it Tadaah but never considered canceling the events until it's resolved?

kmg108
10-30-2014, 11:26 AM
The EXACT issue they are currently having with factions happened to only a select few factions about one month ago. My faction was one of the few that were impacted this very same way. We sent countless tickets, but nobody believed us. It took just over two weeks to get it resolved, and we endured many events with only a skelton crew because of it.

I sure hope they figure it out faster for you than they did for us.

Godzilla2
10-30-2014, 11:36 AM
I'm not optimistic for a fix anytime soon. Especially when the response to my ticket about being locked out is about getting me my grim Aries back when I didn't even lose it in the first place... This is ridiculous.

andy2
10-30-2014, 11:36 AM
The lack of support for this game is an embarassment. And they never do anything to make up for their huge mistakes like this... I know so many people quitting over this from top 25 groups that its not even funny... yet again Gree not caring loses them huge money. What a joke

kmg108
10-30-2014, 11:48 AM
I'm of the opinion that GREE has internal drawings to determine which groups and/or players to periodically screw over. I've had many instances where it happened to me and/or my various teams...yet it rarely impacts all players or all teams.

Every once in awhile, I get to slide by while others get hosed instead. It's totally crazy and completely unpredictable. For some reason, I always come back and say "thank you, sir, may I have another!"

That was a quote from Animal House.

Doctor F
10-30-2014, 11:58 AM
Tadaah I was top 100 individual on Frontline in the last event, now you are screwing over the other 59 members, how in the world can you guys make this right..you guys are screwing us and knowingly screwing us with no possible way to make things right with the events still going! Stop the (expletive) events until you have it resolved..and you owe me L14/15 FLTQ prizes also..

I requested with my super mini. When I added that account, I got the same error message everyone has reported but now when I click on the faction tab in the menu, the faction pops up like the account has been added but the membership remains at 55/56. The account also gets the faction goals to show up but when I hit the FL icon in the upper right corner, there is now way to join the battle, its the screen that is displayed before the event starts and I can only view rewards. My other accounts do not show a 56th member as well.

Good luck. Or just request refund from Apple or Google as this was a problem GREE created with the 1029 data deploy & if you check now when you can join factions & it is functioning you received a new data deploy 1030. Always screenshot the about with the data set, as if certain things start functioning & there is a new data deployment it is something GREE did incorrectly to the configuration.
