78k vs 5k, lol
So what is happening?
I'm unable to participate in GW, but can (now) play the rest of the game.
Do I continue to try to lvl up, craft armour, fight boss etc, or will it be futile as the game will roll back & I'll lose what little progress I've made?
OK, 27 hours after Guild War started, I can now access all parts of the game I did before the War, except the War itself, That hangs on the connection screen and crashes. I was able to clear my Gold production, arena foints, and fight the Epic Boss twice (due to a 5ee drop). Might still reach 43 if the game stays stable for me.
Checking Guild Chat it looks like four of our Guild of 40 can access the War enough to actually fight. The Guild Master and myself (Sentinel) are not amongst those four. There is no current war so I cannot say how connection would be if there were one, but certainly no better.
The last battle vs. Centurions showed we lost by a margin of 37,153 to 303. Some of that is their superiority, but a lot of it is that we had only one or two active players.
Their total War points at that time were 558,019 to our 63,317.
I can get into the game now. But everything Guild war related still crashes. As soon as the '"Battle frenzy bonus!'' poped up, I was forced to press ''go'' and it crashed again. As soon as that went away I could actually do the usual stuff finally cause the ''Guild war started'' pop up is also gone
Wish I could enjoy the war
The Rainbow Room is unstoppable. They already claim the title before the war end.
What a big gap. It seems they don't have any problem at all.
Now I can't even connect :mad:
This is a serious problem. I try and play it crashes. I send a message to my guild members it crashes. I try and fight someone from another guild it crashes. It's causeing us to slowly fall behind. Some of my guilds members can't even participate! I hope these issues are solved soon. And maybe some compensation to all the players who've been affected.
Gotta laugh at some people *****ing about RR winning. Its very likely they would anyway so not a relevant argument to the technical issues we are experiencing.
& as for compensation??? Well how does compensating everyone (which is what they would have to do) help those who have been severely affected? ie could not play the game at all for 24 hrs. If everyone gets the same compensation across the board eg 20 gems... then those that werent affected get the same bonus..
Definitely need to compensate people who bought gems & lost them however, because the exchange of money in this world means as a company they must deliver the product.
Either way, its a massive DISASTER the roll out of Guild Wars & GREE should be quite shamefaced at its lack of preparation.
Mark Mark Mark... I asked how you knew that more than half our guild was participating and able to play, thus, you know, less affected than everyone else like you said we were, and yet you jump right back to cheating and glitching, and bulk assumptions of the guild as a whole. Why? Do you have something against us? Did your mom not love you enough as a child? Or it is your assumption that since RR was found to previously had a cheater, that now we're all cheaters and thus, we can actually log into the game because its a conspiracy and Gree is secretly letting cheaters/glitchers/hackers play. Also, since you still have yet to provide any evidence to suggest that we currently have cheaters, I will ask nicely, please, stop posting derogatory posts like this or I will simply stop asking TWO to lock your threads, and instead ask him/her to just ban you.
Please, re-read the statement I posted. I asked to prove how YOU, Mark, know more about how many of our players are actually able to access the guild wars? I followed that up by saying, why not make a post about how you know so much. Also, since I asked for TWO to close the post, are you calling me a cheater? Please, please, oh please right now, tell me how I, have cheated. And like you said before, to my face. Post any sort of info on how I've cheated, and I will quit the game right now.
If people spent gems on energy, tried to use said energy, and lost it, then yes, they deserve a refund. If they do it repeatedly, they're idiots, and then don't deserve more than one chunk of gems refunded. They are also in the game, so they have a step up already on the people not in the game. Not that it matters, but its a step above others at the moment. Just saying. I don't disagree with any part of your statement. So yes, if someone bought a drink, and my staff member spilled it, or even if they didn't and the guest did, more often than not, yes, they would get another drink. The drink gets spilled a few times, no.
Is this suppose to happen? Another guild's sentinel I fought had seriously high atk ( wing wurm armor) , basically he jus 2 wack my black kals+(lvl 63) and I lost. Is not sentinels only bonus is the 50% def bonus when in war? That guy that I fought has like 50% ATK AND DEF boost. Cos after my black kals+ is downed in 2 whack by , my other 2 knights got 1 whack and they jus died, no critical hit or what so ever. I was really amazed. What jus happened?
Edit : if needed info, im lvl 120. Line up : (me) mantle of beast+ VS wing wurm, (me) black kals+ VS wing wurm/half dragon( 1 whack from wing wurm and 1 wack by half dragon and I'm dead) , sky guardian VS half dragon( 1 whack KOed) his 3rd was a black frost raiment. This is m 2nd line up( fought him twice) first line up is the scenario happened stated above.
Update, Wise One? I still can't play. I used to be able to fight, but for some reason I can't access the GW page... Crashes everytime.
If the waitress keeps spilling the drinks, as the boss I will sack/ban the waitress :) customers is customers, which we are as players.
So sack the code engineer for not trying to not spill the drink. Or close the shop completely while after getting huge profit from war events :)
If you really want to send a message to gree everyone should go to the app store and rate this game 1 star with an explanation of what gree has failed to do. While complaining on this forum helps relieve stress it does nothing for gree. There is such a small percentage of players and potential players that actually read this forum. As of right now this game is rated 4.5 stars on apple's app store. If people are serious about all the problems they should vote this game down so that the rating in the app store goes down. Only when gree feels the financial pain will they really get serious about the problems.
Bit harsh if you have enjoyed the game for a while. GREE have stuffed this up BIG TIME, agreed, but to send a message to them just contact support & register that you have been affected. Why downrate thegame if 90% of the time u have played you have enjoyed it? This is probably going to cost them anyway in loss of play, people not spending & loss of trust not to mention if they do decide on some compensation.
& I have found this forum very helpful in knowing that I am not the only one experiencing the problems & seeing a member on here with updates.. The Wise One obviously is in direct contact with GREE so I think the messages on here are getting through.
On the positive side at least now I can do arena, boss and farm. So the old game is mostly back. But guild wars is still unplayable. It lets me in when there is no war declared but crashes when it is declared. So it is still a mess. Very discouraging to basically be excluded from the entire event. I managed 3 battles all so far and only got credit for 2 of 3 wins. Oh, and I lost ALL my gold. Treasury wiped out.
It's basic economics with RR: they have a higher percentage of people with higher disposable income than average in the game; hence, more of them have the latest iPhone 5 which appears to be largely unaffected. I think 50-60% of their players are active, I've heard both numbers from RR members and it appears to be a reasonable estimate.
My own guild only has maybe 15% 5's, and a few of the 4/4S's got in at least somewhat post-Gree's patch (I wasn't one of them but whatever); I'm not certain why there's the volume of vitriol either against RR in this case, and their points don't seem out of line for what they've had. Rainbow Party at 10ish has had at most 7 and usually 4-5 members fighting with a long period overnight where hardly any points were generated, so 3x the participation (napkin math) and likely better coordination and energy management resulting just over 3x the points... appears to be working as intended without any hacks / cheats / or even massive gem spending to date. They (RR) probably even got decent nights sleep too.
This isn't nuclear physics, fact is the math is pretty easy in this instance looking at the corresponding data point.
Gree screwed up, I don't think there's anyone even inside Gree who likely doesn't think that at this point; however, given that the whole GW when functioning properly within 2 months (approximate time to level set the armor gap which Gree appears to be doing with the GW rewards structure) will be just like the rest of Gree games: gemspenders win, I find it a little laughable that people are complaining about what effectively boils down to personal economics when it comes to RR's being able to weather the absurdity of this release.
End of the day even with this fiasco my guild is doing OK, there's no chance we fall out of the top 25, and may still get top 10 without my and so many others' involvement, and I'll still get 43 on the boss with an outside chance at 51 with Gree's current patch; it's mostly feeling utterly useless and letting my guildmates down which has me so incredibly disappointed with Gree, however irriational it is to let myself be bothered by something I have no control over in this instance.
Short of buying a new phone and in the unlikely event Gree can cut over the account to the new one this weekend... yeah, who am I kidding, especially when Apple is theorized to be releasing a new one this year anyway as they have for the last several.
Put a god damn X on the battle frenzy so i dont have to go into guild war and crash the samn game! What is so f**king har about that. Why do you assume everyone WANTS to go to battle at that particular time!
Like seriously, all these crashes need to be fixed and then maybe start over the war,
cuz i've been losing most of the battles do to crashes -.-
Got my first attack battle of the war in tonight and won of course ... But it was only a one time tease as it crashes every other time I have retryed joining war... Baby steps gree baby steps
'Imagine' your guild is at no1 position, I'm you sure you wouldn't be the one who liked the option of a roll back.
Secondly: guess I'll have to start making screenshots to show you that we are winning every fight with only 1-10 people. Still half of RR can't get in the game. I still don't understand where you get the idea that all of us can play...
The rest of your post about hacking again => not again.
Haters gonna hate?
I don't know much about what happened, but i think it's unfair to assign blame to an entire guild over the actions of a few. guilds are not likely to be aware of exactly what each of their members are doing. If they were aware and allowed it to slide, or if after being made aware they still accepted the members into their fold then that's another matter entirely (like I said I don't know the details)
I spent about 45 gems on GW last night. The first time I was surprised by the outcome (loss of points and energy due to disconnect). The second time I was hopeful that it would work - several hours had passed and hoped the issues were resolved (I am an optimist at heart) and Was partially right because I only lost 2 energy bars due to disconnects). The third time my guild was floundering in a battle, and figured ok, I have a 50% chance of success - ie based on previous result i was able to complete two battles out of 4, so went for it, with 2 wins possibly securing a victory for the guild, only to lose all my energy to disconnect. Call me stupid, i am blonde after all.
But, using your analogy of the bar. In all cases it was the waitress who was at fault. I, as the customer, was hoping to receive a less clumsy waitress. It didn't happen though. Should I Be punished or should the waitress?
Okay, Mark. I've asked before. The forums, about guild wars is not the place for you to repeatedly call us hackers/cheaters/glitchers. You keep saying you have proof, yet all you keep doing is trying to twist words around and duck questions when you are asked. And please, drop the "I'm all for fair and square. " You know damn well that if everyone in RR stop participating, that another guild would just pass us by. Same with all the other guilds currently participating.
Point Blank, you guys wanna stop with us? Centurions? You want in on the quit fest? Evolve. You're #4 right now. Think Drunk All Night will stop if you stop? Everyone body in? Okay, on three we all quit the guild wars... 1... 2... 3....
Hear that? That is the sound of everyone not quitting.
Playing ignorant again, lol! Proof? Ask your GM and the leaders who else got banned/warned after king. Or why not make an open letter to Gree and the WiseOne asking the results of their investigations to be released in public since your guild is the one involved? I'd bet thousands of dollars for this, lol!
As for GW, Gree either shuts it down, roll it back or compensate everyone for the loss. Just do what is right and treat your customers right.
If it was the clumsy waitress's fault each time, yes, you'd get the beer. Or, maybe you should protect your beer when the waitress is around.
I try to give the benefit of the doubt in the case of the guest, but if the guest is being stupid and causing it, I won't do it.
Ahhh...here it is.... Guild Wars is on the forum!!! :p
After the third attempt I haven't spent a gem since, but I suspect I am not alone in spending at least some gems. It would do a hell of a lot in terms of good will for gree to compensate people for their losses (whether it be inability to play and collect coins, defeat the boss/ arena or loss of gems). As a businessman you would know that good will counts towards a lot, it's even factored into the selling price of businesses. :) for gree's sake, and for the players I Hope they offer a goodwill gesture. Perhaps coins, gems and maybe even chest keys.
I think it would be unreasonable for them to look at every single account to see who lost what, but they could offer everyone some form of compensation. Most people will argue its probably not fair to offer generic compensation , but by using a common sense median of the suspected losses for players at least they would be doing something to show their customers that they care (somewhat). Even the customers of the largest corporations want to feel like they are loved. :P
Lol I'm ignorant? I'm asking you for proof... You are the one claiming we cheat, so you are the one who has to prove it! If you would go to court with those words, you would never win the case!
As for GREE, you are saying it yourself: ask results of investigation. That means we got investigated with the result of King getting banned, which means the rest of us is innocent.
I think GREE knows more than you do, and if they claimed we were cheating, it would have been easy for them to prove and all of us would have been banned already...
i sensed that it is coming again...
If there is a hacker guild, it would be closed down immediately. I am certain Gree goes not want a hack in their game. And an obvious hack? i let you tink about it.
Please report it to the wise one or whatever they are if you know and have proof that pp are hacking or cheating.
Meanwhile, let's stay focus on the thread - implying that POST SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Does guild champion gets more buff? or %
Well... I kinda knew the bazillion of issues there was so likely to happen when this event started. So i purchased no guardian ;P instead invested in bonuses only, and im glad i did it,
Any news, updates, fixes, anything changes at all? Its nearly 2 days now since this all started. And i haven't been able to help my guild much at all. And i'm a guild master. I don't wanna start another long story about members doing most work while on war while a guild master like me haven't even participated.
This guild war had a pathetic start. But i hope it won't end miserably for other players like myself.
An update regarding crashes would be nice now wouldn't it, the Wise One?
So eventhough most people are (probably) already using these strategies, might be helpful for certain people (instead of the same people going back n forth about the same things for pages n pages);
1; take down, if applicable, the guardian first, that way the extra Def bonus is gone, plus, if ur the knight who beat the guardian with the most points, u get a nce extra :)
2; go for the sentinel with a lower member with one energy to recon his armour/stats, relay that info to the more powerful members in your group so they will suit up correctly and take down the sentinel more easily,
3; once its open hunting season, and depending on ur strength, go after guild champions, high commanders etc and, if your having difficulties defeating a certain someone, relay the armour lineups to stronger guild members so they can take the enemy down,
4; in general, relay armour info , and difficulty, to ur fellow members, so u can know what ur up against ( the other guilds will be doing the same to you)
5; one way to - till a certain extent- combat recon by the enemy guild, is to change ur names to the same name, im not saying this will be 100% effective (there are ways to get passed this ) but it will make it somewhat more difficult for others guilds to relay info as everybody has the same name,
6; aim for enemy guild members that give high win point bonuses; maybe someone has done the math, but seems like ur win points is influenced by a nr of things, such as the level of ur opponent, the nr of knoghts that remain in ur lineup after defeat etc, so if u win from a GC thats approx the same level as u, and u still have two knghts, this will give u more points than beating a lower lv enemy commander with only one remaining knight on ur team,
7; once u have identified who gives the most points from wins, relay that info to ur fellow guild members and start pounding that person - given that ur powerful enough to take him (her) down,
8; if ur close to the timer running out, and ur about in a tie, get ready for a close end, (some) guilds will be waiting fr the last couple of minutes to attack frontally to get the win in the dying minutes/seconds
I think thats enough for now, for those not yet keeping this in mind, hope its useful, for those who already know the main startegy, and if u think theres smtg missing, pls add :)
Should be about time to start reflecting on the somewhat more "positive" sides of GWs, not just the glitches, yes its annoying, yes its affect (almost) everybody, but those that have participated should agree its exciting/fun, especially if you win!:)
Cheers
Well, never worked for me and still does not..
Maybe has something to do with the type of ipad being used??
I have a first gen ipad so was wondering if anyone one else with the same is having the same problems or are fine with the guild wars???
Ok, thanks...
Guess its not iPad gen related.
I am also waiting to help my guild and losing out big time due to crashes.....
Seems it crashes when guild war is declared and I can only go on when it's finished but it goes back to pre guild war so everything done after is loses :(
It's nothing to do with your phone or ipad.
It is GREE system itself.
Mine is ipad mini the latest one which is having very fast processor so far compare to ipad n ipad2.
Still the BIG question is WHY the Guild War icon is always missing?
Even after restart it is still missing...whereas the others are working fine.
It is happened to almost my Guild members...
A bit frustating...
