For any of you who still care about this sinking ship...
This thread is over a month old. Instead of discussing it here, in open forums for all to see, I have had PMs with the 'lead FL developer' Waffleking. I sent him screenshots, and offered more of how this issue has cost my team a large amount of wasted gold and a direct loss of points in FL battles.
He has 1) Admitted that it is an issue. 2) Admitted that FL deploys did not count in certain scenarios. 3)Taken over a month, more than 2 if you count from the time we first submitted tickets to 'research' the issue, before just today when I threaten further action miraculously saying his team has found the issue and fixed it... except wait, they will not deploy it for this FL and will instead CONTINUE TO RUN ANOTHER KNOWINGLY BUGGED EVENT - WITHOUT A WORD ABOUT IT TO THE PUBLIC IN GAME OR OTHERWISE. 4) Refuses to offer any simple token of compensation for the direct proof my faction has of getting screwed in multiple FL battles due to their faulty programming.
This is flat out unacceptable. I know there are larger current issues with the game. The fact of the matter is paying members are retiring at an alarming rate, and these awful business practices are a large reason why. You admit to a problem, admit that it has caused us money, and then give us the digital middle finger.
FYI here is the most recent response I have talking about a fix, and that they are running the bugged event regardless:
Hello Andy
I am happy to report that we have figured out the issue! It is in test as we speak and will be addressed in all upcoming FL and SA events. We really appreciate your help in solving this problem and you should now not see lost deploys at the end of a war. We were unable to get it into Daiko Mountains event because we have not had enough time to fully test and work out all the bugs the fix created but it will be fixed in events moving forward.
