Woot! Looks like Guild War this weekend

[JonS52]

Well, the Guild War icon is back and we've been advised to prepare. Looking forward to it and hopefully they've gotten the majority of the bugs worked out. We all just need to remember that we're still in beta test mode. heh

[Starve]

would be nice if we can get our rewards from the last wars before this starts
...sigh

[-Solo-]

Enjoy losing your gems again, iOS players...especially since they haven't answered your support tickets about lost gems from the first war...

[Valdamos]

The news seems to imply that the guild war will only last 4 hours...

[JonS52]

Nope, it doesn't imply it, it comes right out and says four hours only starting tomorrow at 2:00 CDT (GMT-6). Fortunately it has a countdown clock so you can keep track if you aren't good with time zones.

And being a short term War maybe they're using it to test whether the bugs have been fixed...

[Miyabi]

Hope it wont crash people that much now~
Singaporeans 3am again sia~ :p

[drhawk]

Yay more beta testings :D :D

[Musketeer]

Just as well there's a timer, as one announcment says PST, the other says PDT. Pacific Standard Time and Pacific Daylight Time are 1 hour apart...

Yes, this is clearly a test War to see if the game actually works this time. Doesn't matter as the Reich will have it sewn up anyway, nio matter when it starts of how long it lasts.

[gardibolt]

Yeah making a short event like this to test loads and whatnot is what Gree should have done in the first place.

[possum]

I hope they space the big wars one month apart. If these mini wars are meant to appease those who want weekly wars, great, I'm all for them! But please, for the love of humanity, keep the big ones spaced at a reasonable level (i.e., one month).

[Archetype]

Bad timing ever, oh god!
there's still a bug on opening the GUILD MENU and now this?
Can you just fix the bug first before releasing all this,
get your timing right cmon..
FIX THE BUG FIRST!

[Tuamare]

I wonder how many people are in the same boat as me. Have to be at work during the whole of this war so won't be near my Ipad throughout.

This is a global game, so it's the middle of the night for some people too.

If you do this again, add 12 hours to the start time to inconvenience different folks

[Bryanv2]

...sigh

Yea..I just wonder if we'll get the rewards this time around.

Good news though! The ''main'' , ''members'' tabs are workingggg. Last time they didn't which means this war I don't think they'll be any more crashes.

And yea it's a good test mini-war.

[michwlvrins]

This war is going to be a spending battle. Of course RR will win as others have lives. The most battles u can get in this war is 3 so spend those gems. Make the gree money machine happy. Yes its like a beta but its still about the money. The RR can fall if u have the coin. If not...... welcome to the top 50. If your lucky.

GO POINT BLANK!!!!!!!

So cordial thinking that the whole of RR doesn't have any lives or just spends their way to the top. Sadly, I will be at work for all but about 45 minutes of the war, so please don't assume we're all living in mom and dad's basement eating doritos with nothing better to do.

But thanks for the vote of confidence that we will win.

[Tahimaka]

5am In Australia, I hope I can take part in this one :D

[Jello]

Yay more beta testings :D :D

My thoughts exactly. They are more than likely not sure if the problems are fixed, so we get to beta test again - another wonderful 4-hour event to lean towards those that can get in without crashing (probably for RR to each get 20 fusion boost armors to go along with all the epics they got last GW). 4 hours is about how long the last event should have lasted before pulling it. I don't have high hopes for this one either - GREE, you put this s**t on your plate and try to make us eat it! I guess we can all pray for a miracle.

[Unresolved]

I really don't understand why you guys are complaining. You spend 4 hours of possible glitches and get a load of boosters. I'd beta-test for even less than that.

[shukai84]

siao bo...3am in Singapore?? I Dun need to sleep meh?

[inkjets]

Thank you IOS players for pioneering the bugs and glitches so we "chosen" Android players can glean from your pain and suffering. Pardon us Droid players as we sip our margaritas and watch :) Ok kidding kdding.

In reality I do find it humorous that so many gem flooded the first guild wars as it was pretty obvious it would have issues being total beta war. I have played games that fix issues so much slower and true Gree does have fixes to make but so far I am impressed at the progress.

Looking forward to an IOS/Droid Merge someday.

[Eldaran]

I won't blame them on this one. More testing in a little war after we had the buggy wars? I can understand that. I don´t mind the fusion boost rewards, either.
Actually, besides testing purposes, I find the idea of a little war in between not so bad and worth a try. Just the different time zones are a problem.

[Lacerator]

Every game has bugs when implementing a new feature, sometimes they're minor other times not so minor...give them a chance to work the kinks out before getting upset.
On the flip side, gree doesn't seem to be making a big enough effort regarding refunding lost gems purchased and spent without compensation and rewards/bounty earned that never actually made it into our inventory. I feel costomer service is extremely important to any business and this is especially true when the costomer is purchasing a non essential form of entertainment. If you expect us to spend our money liberally we need to trust you will be equally willing to fix issues we find throughout our gaming experience. This includes adding lost items or gold/gems into our inventory.
Happy customers will obviously spend more readily than when they are annoyed.

[Gem Crusher]

To be honest, this 4 hour guild wars is a kind of refund for people their gems. Most people know chests are a waste of gems, but they still buy them if they receive 'free' fusion armors when buying 11 chests. Now, a decent guild can get atleast 10 fusion armors from this guild wars!

Good point...if we ever get a match lol we been declared over 7 minutes :o I think they forgot to flip the switch!

[geo81]

Yeah wtf! We been waiting too. Haha

[Musketeer]

Still waiting for our first opponent match up after nearly 15 minutes, not sure what's happening but it doesn't look good.

[Hirro]

Same here. Declared war since 20 mins ago!

[Jello]

gree you suck! i declared war 15 min ago and STILL waiting for a battle. wtf! way to waste my time! yeah, this works... NOT!

[gardibolt]

Yep waiting 12 minutes. Maybe this is their way of letting servers handle the load.

[Apocalipsis]

Same here , waiting and I see guild scoring ;(

[gardibolt]

Looks like mostly smaller guilds are in.

[Musketeer]

20 minutes of waiting....

[gardibolt]

Same here. Event is 1/12 over.

[bobeth]

ya weve been waiting for about 20 min now too. gree get ur stuff together.

[Jello]

finally got a battle. timin is off. someone took out the sentinel and it didnt register on my screen for 5 minutes! so im wasting energy on sentinel as well. when it finally showed attack other members, i ha 1 energy left. i missed 3 times and they 2 shot each of my maxed armors and opposing elements! i guess i'll make sure to miss the purchase gems button as gree doesnt deserve a penny for this mess! get it right or get lost gree! This is the icong on the cake with all the other issues. all the time ive put ino this game is just wasted.

[Bryanv2]

Im so confused on how battles work. But! Im very glad I can actually battle this time, so that's super exciting.

But..So Im assuming the higher the rank enemy I attack the mroe points I win for my team?

And the 5 battles..They are just MY battles right? Im not using up the guild battles?

Any use attacking the castle gate?

Im just attacking random people Im not even sure if thats right xD

[Dedi89]

Been restarting game and waiting for the war
Since the ****ing guild war sign choose to
Hide , Just IN ****ing time !! . Some of my
Members woke up in the middle of the night
To play but this **** crops up ! Well ****ing done!!

[Native02]

Is it supposed to be where it last was?
It doesn't pop up for me...

And it's 4am in the morning here. :(

[New Jersey Jones]

Possum, I concur!

[Musketeer]

Finally got into a war (which we lost but hey).

Again, lag issues within the War, but also against Epic Boss and in Arena. It feels like the system is still creaking and only just able to cope. From some commenst above, maybe it isn't really coping.

So next War, GREE, put your hands into your fat bulging money wallet and get the servers the game needs to function at full speed for the duration of the War. We know it's hard to part with even a fraction of that cash that comes in so easily, but you really need to make this game function better.

But not for me. I'll be stopping playing when this war is over and I can hand over my Guild position to someone with more patience.

Yes. Attacking ther gates seems to net ablut 70-90 points. I was fighting HCs and the Sentinel for around 210-250 points. I guess commanders come soemwhere in between.

If you're a commander, fight the gate or other commanders, unless you're feeling strong. You're only using up your own energy in attacks, the Guild is restricted only by the number of active players and how much energy they're prepared to use (and buy).

[Jello]

ok, wtf! their guardian is down so no reduction in our attack. i am only hittin their sentinel for 80-90 with L70 Slimebane+ against his Boreas+ (opposing elements so i should be killing him) and he is smacking the f**k out of me for 450-550 per hit! he is one hoting my slimebane+, notus+, and Phyrus+ all L70. Im Guild Champion too so I have the 7% bonus, guild elements are all at 7%! I call poor programming by gree!!! every time i try to look the other way and try again, i keep gettin disappointed. Im a nice, easy going person but I hate stupidity and ignorance!

[QuantumP 86]

Not a fan of how the people shuffle around the list. Would be able to spend more gems if I didn't have to search for the person I want to attack for an hour (hint: Fix this immediately GREE!). Everything else seems great (minus the long delay at the start but for a four hour time period everyone would only fight three wars, so it didn't actually impact anything.

Sentinels have a 50% defence bonus when protecting their guild members. This makes some of them insanely hard to take down. Even with elemental advantage for each knight, it's still sometimes not possible, and power attack seems to be the best bet.

Nah I'm the champion. I've just been battling high commanders and Sentinels so far. Seems to net some good points

Well if thats the case that is BS. they nerfed everything else but kept GS at 50% def? it should be called "Gem Wars" - after every attack you need to spend gems! i tried power attack. i still only hit for 140-160 and he still one-shot all 2 of my knights and 2-shot the other! I even missed once! To hell with this. Everyone enjoy gREE's incompetence. Someone needs to take over the data sheet.

Someone takeover from Jello before he burst an artery playing this game which he is obviously addicted to.

The Untouchables just overtook RR. Good Job!

[Joshx135]

Would be nice to hear a timetable for Android guild wars....

[DarkVoltz]

Beaten two guild guardian( most damage dealth) yet i only see two fusion boost in my inventory ;-;

[gardibolt]

After 22 minutes to get in the first time, it worked perfectly for me and I missed the bulk if the first one due to crashes v so much improved for me!!!

[Lacerator]

Ranked 80 :)

Has anyone else had issues with not receiving their rewards for placement I know of 2 so far who still haven't received the 9 boost armors my guild won. Is it just lag?

[gardibolt]

We haven't received ours either.

[shukai84]

Gree,

Please extend the war to more than just 4 hours in your own timezone!
