Another Lag-ridden war

[RealTeflonDon]

Sooo tired of this crap. Anyone else experiencing it?

Hits taking 5+ min. Posting scout reports to synd forum hardlocked & froze my phone. Galaxy S4... totally capable.
(Edit: Yes, I'm connected to wifi)

GREE are your servers on fire already?

[Jerle]

There is some unusually high latency, we're investigating that now.

[Killerkid]

Yep... Most my synd is locked out(can't see anything else than the declare button) we have already pushed that button and got paires but 90% of the team can't see or their game get crashed. Sended a tickets with whats most of my guys see jerle.

[Mighty Min]

There is some unusually high latency, we're investigating that now.

how about score registering improperly - syn showing having 958 pts, same for 4 wins, but score vs another syn showing just 411 - half hits didn't count?!?...

This is something that is of 'standard' now for GREEd ridden games, i suppose?... Oh i so wish i could buy more gold... [sarcasm for those not catching drift]

[RealTeflonDon]

Something tells me this won't be resolved despite it being a known issue from last war.

[ploop]

everything takes so long to load! it takes minutes to hit and leaderboards takes 5 minutes to load

[Mighty Min]

Something tells me this won't be resolved despite it being a known issue from last war.

Because this game is dying and only complete nincompoops choose to spend any real $ on it, they switched to PIII servers that use proprietory Celeron processors, so just be patient and buy more gold

[Senator McCarthy]

It is the "Curse of Carmen." Should have left her alone Gree. She is on a warpath now. LOL

[bruner]

"Cannot connect to server" - I just want to donate money, is that so much to ask of a game..........

[Zyklones]

Time to invest in new servers...

[b-w]

same thing..connect problems. It's slower than usual but not quite 5 mins for me..

[Shadypal]

Where in the world is Carmen....?

[mb402n]

I can't even connect to the server anymore. At least it waited till the end of the battle to crash.

[Mirmur]

It won't even let me enter the game, and I have wifi and other devices that connect. Fun.

[Zippy69]

Something tells me this won't be resolved despite it being a known issue from last war.

At least LAST TWO WARS!!!

We've just won our 1st Battle and ONCE AGAIN GREE FECK UP MEANS IT'S NOT SHOWING UP AS A VICTORY...

SO THIRD SYNDICATYE BATTLE IN A ROW WE'RE GOING TO MISS OUT ON SYNDICATE REWARDS THANKS TO MISSED VICTORIES!!!

So Quick to Take People's Money!!!
So Slow (2-3 months) to FIX Fundamental Bug that seriously affects Syndicate Game Play & costs PLAYERS ACTUAL EARNT GAME REWARDS!!!

FFS sort this ****e out!!!

[Zippy69]

& Yes, I'm also suffering SEVERE LAG on all 4 of my Devices (connected to Superfast Broadband WiFi)

3 Android Tablets / 1 Android SmartPhone

[ploop]

30 minute maintanence now

[Zippy69]

Lol now been completely kicked out of CC!

So, Start Battle & then Do Maintenance...

nice to see so much Beta Testing continuing to be done in Games Development!!!

Not!

[Wolfy]

We started a war, now no one can actually get into fight! Does this have to happen every single war? It is becoming very old hat and making more and more of us think why should we ruin a weekend when gree can not supply a decent standard of service to their customers! Come on guys, war weekend is not a new event, you should have wars down pat by now! Balls ups on new events is one thing, but on an event you are running every 3 or 4 weeks is becoming totally unacceptable!

[Emperor886]

2 Android devices and 1 iOS device with no issues whatsoever.

[b-w]

Lol now been completely kicked out of CC!
I'm still there somehow and it's showing we got the win on my end. Other weird things are happening now for me. HA! I went to my hood and there was a uzi just sitting there..That never happened to me before..Hope it happens a few thousand more times.

[KingOW]

WTH. I'm getting so tired of this. First it takes ~2 min for each attack, and when there is 5 min left in the battle 90% of the team can't connect to do last hits.

[caL.Leo]

1st I can't connect to servers.. Now, I keep getting "Unfortunately CC has stopped working" On Galaxy S4...

[dribblin todger]

Cant believe i spend real cash on this game... utter garbage service

[Grecoref]

All my android users are saying the crime city keeps quitting on them.

[Mugzy]

There is some unusually high latency, we're investigating that now.

That's an interesting way to describe your game crashing over and over again for all android users.

[dribblin todger]

All my android users are saying the crime city keeps quitting on them.

yeah they are right.. our syns suffering with droid issues too, me included..Grrrrr

[Timmaaay]

Waiting to be matched over 30 minutes now....

[PoopyPants]

I can hold my breath longer than the connection to the server. Im on android....anyone else having issues on android?

[HTCBC]

Crap they are absolutely rubbish they hide for days have plenty of rest cant even get it right. Gree to to fire some people your service level is way below par

[Flyingsquad23]

He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

The end is near

[Mighty Min]

I can hold my breath longer than the connection to the server. Im on android....anyone else having issues on android?

Yup, using this time to play some real fun game GREEd-FREE - the only sane solution here is simply to walk away and NEVER buy any funds for real $ in this f#%&

[lurcher]

And it's another Banging new year, bussness as usual.

[KarenWill]

Same here, looks like it's for android users only they can't even load the game

[Jerle]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

[mb402n]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

Okay, now what about the fact that I can't even open the game without it crashing immediately?

[caL.Leo]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

I still cant even get into the game... It just keeps saying that crime city has stopped...

[Niccy]

Good work gree . You have outdone yourself this time

[Zyklones]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

No Jerle, game crashes after i try to log in. Unfortunately crime city has stopped

[dribblin todger]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

not here it aint

[lurcher]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

Still not working on 2 devices.

[aron]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

You are wrong man. My game force closes when I push the globe

[Wish Master]

Everytime I try to get into the war!

Gree, if you try to fix lagging, you just made it worse!

[Mighty Min]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.

If you'd use goggles of reality, it would appear otherwise to you...

[Wolfy]

Android response times look like they're back to normal now.


Yep it is taking exactly the same amount of time to either get the couldn't connect to the server and force close messages! Wow what a good fix that isn't!

[Jerle]

Just pushed another change that should start fixing the crashes as well

[CoN1337]

Can't even start crime city...Great work, gree. You outdid yourself this event. Bravo!

[Darwin]

I hope that they state up front how they are going to resolve this inequity. Free gold? Not count first two battles? Gree let us know now, so we can accommodate your ever changing rules.

[Timmaaay]

Jerle, my syndicate has been "waiting for battle" over 40 minutes now. My apologies for doing this here, i know I am supposed to send a ticket but I dont feel that would get me a response quick enough.

[lurcher]

Working now on both android devices

[xgc_indy]

CC is crashing on me at the loading screen to open the game. Im on android. On a side note we just pulled SAS so not seeing my syn get molested may not be a bad thing.

[RealTeflonDon]

Yes, finally...

It's impressively (bad) that GREE can't pull off one of these events without issue. I still doubt that the attack times have improved. I'll spend more time waiting for my hit to register than I will actually "playing" the game.

At least give me a little dancing monkey to look at.. something.

[Don Dino - SO@]

I've experienced Lag. Feels like in the old days when I played LandWarrior on my 56K modem.

A few members also report game crashing and not being able to get on-line,
they've tried everything like reset phone, re-install etc...

Crappy ...

[Timmaaay]

STILLLLLLLL Waiting. Officially 1 hour since my syndicate declared war and still not matched. Gree, please look into this.

[Wish Master]

STILLLLLLLL Waiting. Officially 1 hour since my syndicate declared war and still not matched. Gree, please look into this.

That's horrible...

[Timmaaay]

Kinda hard to do anything at all when we cant even match. :\
That's horrible...

[RealTeflonDon]

That's horrible...

You could have said, "That's typical", too.

[Timmaaay]

No response and still waiting over an hour and a half already. Ticket number: 1262965

I couldn't hit one target during last battle.

Now, I can't declare. Hit battle button. Goes to "are you sure you want to Battle?" Screen, press yes. Back to battle button.

GREE!??

[JakeCullen]

OMG GREE!!...you seem to have the latency bug...it's 2014 everywhere around you.

[Darwin]

Almost three hours in, and my account still hasn't had a stable platform.

Back to being unable to get in.

What's the use... When I'm in game, I can't battle and I can't start battles, and I can't score, or check leaderboard.

Dog
Dog

[RealTeflonDon]

This is absolutely ****ing pathetic... just took 15 minutes to use 4 attacks..

On the 3rd attack the game told me I needed an internet connection. Eat my butt, GREE. Your servers need a connection to the internet.

[Timmaaay]

STILLLLLLLLLL waiting to be matched.

Closing in on the 2 hour mark Gree.....

[bigB88]

Are you pushing out a fix to update our win-loss totals as well?? Missiing a win

[b-w]

lag came back along with cannot connect to server blah blah on iphone..thanks

[CJ54]

The engineers are looking into it now. We did catch a couple of partial causes and killed those, but there are a few left that still need addressing.

[RealTeflonDon]

This has been going on for multiple wars now. The game is unplayable right now. 15 minutes to use a full bar of energy. No, I am not exaggerating.

[bigB88]

We are missing wins, and so are others apparently. Is your message above in reference to that or another issue??

[Zyklones]

Servers are down again....

[b-w]

same here..

[lurcher]

Oh come on, it's not as if this is a new event, getta grip Gree.

[ardiamonds]

we'll after making millions off of our hard earned money can gree not afford to replace their FUBAR SERVERS? in middle of a war and cannot do anything!

[RuckusX]

Okay, you erased my best opponent to farm who I finally got pissed enough to attack me this morning so I had a direct connect. Now I declared battle which loaded and they got one hit on our wall and we will lose to them 50ip to 0 ip because no one can connect to your POS server.

[RealTeflonDon]

Lol... this event just needs to be scrapped. Award everyone with every prize and move the event to next week when your servers can actually handle the event.

[Zippy69]

well now in 2nd Battle & locked out of both Syndicate Forum & Battle...

[b-w]

well now in 2nd Battle & locked out of both Syndicate Forum & Battle...

same here..

[Zippy69]

3 Devices Open and All Three say...

'Cannot connect to server. You must have access to the internet to use this application'

So, how the feck can I post here on my laptop; if I'm not freaking connected to the Internet!
useless (insert whatever word you want here!)

In the middle of a Battle, thanks a lot!


OK I'm off to play Star Wars Force Collection!

[Zyklones]

Same here, why do i even play this game...

[b-w]

check this out...I hit attack and it said no internet connection..i hit okay. I hit attack again and it said no internet connection..i hit okay. I did this four times and on the fifth time it said replenish blah blah. I checked my stats and i had neither won nor loss...WHAT?

[SollyLlama]

You must have access to the internet to use this application.

Herpty derp.

[aron]

deja vu..?

[Luv4SAS]

There is some unusually high latency, we're investigating that now.

How can we say this is "unusual", when it's been happening every battle for months now?

[G I A N T]

You must have access to the internet to use this application.

Herpty derp.

Gree so what's your plan to compensate this time? I expect something for this major screw up!

[Timala]

The game is down for maintenance. It will be back up in 30 minutes.

What a joke!!!!

[RealTeflonDon]

The game is down for maintenance. It will be back up in 30 minutes.
What a joke!!!!

The event is already shot.... Scrap the event now, refund everyone that wasted money, and COMPENSATE US FOR WASTING OUR TIME WITH YOU, GREE...

[Sofa KING Good]

thats cos all GREEd want is your money for the gold. they're not interested in the fun element

[bubu2000]

Please, please.
Dont talk to hard or to strictly over Gree or over this Game.

YOU WILL ALL BE BANED :(

I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.

[creepa]

La................................ .... ... ..g

[Sofa KING Good]

What make it worse is those who were close to finishing the ltq have now missed out on the chance cos of GREE and their complete inadequacy to run a game they've been running for ages!!!! WHERE'S THE COMPENSATION FOR THAT MISTAKE THEN GREE????

[Mcockbur]

Can you tell us how many players connect during the syndicate wars??? i ink you do capacity planning so you know how many servers, memory, processors, you need to have the game up and running without issues?
We have a lot of members with issues to connect, others winning fights but IP not being counted, so stats are completely wrong.... And several minutes to have an enemy assigned when a war is declared...

[CJ54]

Those will be counted, part of the problem is that the servers are looking at old data. That will fix itself shortly.

[RuckusX]

Those will be counted, part of the problem is that the servers are looking at old data. That will fix itself shortly.
What else will be counted? The last battle could have easily been won but most on my team are android. Also, the fact that I had full energy when I got off work but couldn't finish the LTQ.

[AfterShaik]

We have a lot of members in syndicate, which cannot log in to the cc, so they cannot fight and we are weak:mad::mad:

[Recaro]

Let's start a poll as to when Crime City will finally keel over and die, as it should.

[RealTeflonDon]

Let's start a poll as to when Crime City will finally keel over and die, as it should.

Honestly, I'd rather see GREE sell the game to a company who is going to actually take care of the game. Ya know, not try and milk the players for everything they've got

[Sofa KING Good]

I completely agree with you on that point.

[RealTeflonDon]

And its still laggy as hell...

Apparently there's still a ton of gerbil feces clogging up your servers. I know gerbil powered servers have their downsides but this is just ridiculous.

If I buy gold will you clear a few ounces of the gerbil poop out?

http://www.earthtechling.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gerbil-1.jpg

[Turbomatic]

Also when using gold to replenish health keep getting cannot connect to server but it connects fine to reduce your gold but no health come on Gree and love the way MW get 40% off

[Darwin]

Day 2, 24 hours later... Same lag... Impossible to rush and out tap our opponents.

Shame on you, Gree!

Invest in better hardware, write better software, and find some real customer service experts.

[KingOW]

It's not perfect now, but it works much better than yesterday. We could actually do a 100k IP blitz in last 2 min the most recent fight!

[aron]

The engineers are looking into it now. We did catch a couple of partial causes and killed those, but there are a few left that still need addressing.

Thanks for addressing the issues, ima go get me some refund now, thanks.

Game is still slow lorry speed btw,,,

[bubu2000]

Wrong thread, erease please

[Quijimo]

Just lost a battle by our whole Syn being locked out from entering or if you were in game had extreme lag issues. Many bought gold in a push and couldn't use it. Win streak snapped.

Get it together. We spent gold here...

Are there any answers from any GREE folk since yesterday when they said they were into it?

[Dahat1]

Neither of my syndicates are experiencing any problems.

[RealTeflonDon]

It has improved greatly but its still significantly worse than say, 5 battles ago.

[Mighty Min]

It has improved greatly but its still significantly worse than say, 5 battles ago.

It doesn't stop some Super Crime City idiots like "Silent ASSASS." and "Lights Out" to feed the GREEd lmao - the most ridiculous fight happening for #1 pixel and at what COST

[RealTeflonDon]

Between the two groups, I'd say well over $125,000 now.

[MollyDolly]

Between the two groups, I'd say well over $125,000 now.

This figure is way off

[lazygun247]

This figure is way off

I agree. It's probably much more! lol

[MollyDolly]

I agree. It's probably much more! lol

Nope they like all smart clans figured out the china gold.

[lazygun247]

It's easy to do the math though.

Assume that every hit they do is about 500 points. Then 4 hits is about 2000 points.
Deduct about 5-10 million (for regular energy regen, granted they probably didn't use much of that and just refreshed with gold, but deduct this just in case) and lets just say both teams scored about 75 million in IP

75,000,000 / 2000 = 37,500 refill
37,500 * 25gold/refill = 937,500 gold

lets just say they bought their gold for $80 for 1500 gold
937,500/1500 = 625
625 * $80 = $50,000 / team

So about $100,000 total just from LO and SAS together. This is a lowball figure. They probably spent more in reality. So i don't think the $125k estimate is much off from the real figure

What if they bought there gold for say $15???

Hmmm UTFSE: China Gold
