There is a positive to this weekend. If Gree keeps messing up this game so badly and demonstrating utter incompetence to fix it or provide solutions I predict that a lot of people are going to discover what fresh air and sunlight are.:)

I'm looking for a couple level 80+ to join my guild that will go hardcore guild war frenzy with me. I've been able to do about 10 wars a day myself, and we have a couple people in our guild on the opposite side of the globe that run them when I'm sleeping. I'm a level 130+ and we currently have a 100, and a few 90s, 80s, and a few really inactive low levels that could get replaced, but we have room for about 7 more right now. Muktuk mafia is our name. I'd really like to get in the top 10 next guild war.
I have had a weekend of frustration and disappointment trying to partake in the guild wars. Only about four people from our guild of 22 have been able to participate at all.
Lets get this conversation back on track. Thanks.
Just downloaded the bugfix from AppStore. Scrolling through enemy Guildmembers is still buggy for me but AT LEAST the game crashed only once while fighting the enemy guardian, all other battles went without crashing.Quote:

Can now only get into War tab when there is no active battle.
In a relatively small guild & they're starting to gripe about people not joining... (they dont realise the extent of this problem).
& I also did see at one point a locked icon saying debug.
Have reloaded app, reset phone, closed apps etc.
When redownlaoding app it always downloads, go into game, says an update required then have to go to app store again to do update.
Saw a new update. Maybe it might help? I don't know. I doubt it because this must have been submitted many days before this GW since Apple takes some time to approve apps, right?
the update is useless for the guild war problems ...
I got an email back from gree in response to my ticket about crashing. They suggest to declare war against smaller guilds. I didn't know we had the choice on who we fight. I thought it was a random pairing. I've never seen a choice given when declaring. Or am I missing something?
Hey Gaia,
We havent been able to choose a guild either, its seems random, and level of a player does not seem to matter either;
We had a low lv member declare - as we thought we might get a lower lv guild - and we ended up with RR (the nr 1 guild); so that didnt work out and/or go well;
We also tried to declare at about the exact same time as another guild, to see if we would get paired up with that guild, also didnt work, got paired up with another RR affiliate, lol didnt work out that well either,
My guess is, and thats based on 2-3 days of GWs that (maybe) in the beginning, u get paired randomly, but after ur position because more fixed, u get paired up with guilds closer to ur position, so kinda like fighting in the arena,
Again, not based on any "real" data xept for our experiences over the last 2-3 days,
Cheers
Um, you post something like this but not a "HEY, WE RELEASED AN UPDATE! CHECK YOUR APP STORE FOR AN UPDATE. THIS UPDATE MAY FIX SOME PROBLEMS." That might have been more appropriate than "All Weekend Long (cool shades - as if it's cool that these problems are happening and you're so cool for working all weekend)". My App Store screen is on another page from my K&D so I don't see the 1 for an App Update.Quote:

However, my GW still crashes with 1.4.2 just trying to get into GW. Crash! Crash! And I'm on an iPhone 4S along with my wife (both at iOS 6.1.3) and both have the same problem. We are also both in the same guild.
It IS random. What kind of support ticket response is that from the people that make the f'n game! Incompetence and stupidity are my two pet peeves and this company displays both!Quote:

1. Cannot choose a guild opponent, it seems random within ones general ranking depending on who else declared.
2. iPad still crashing after update if too many on, and if try to fight twice in a row. If not too many on and close game after each battle, seems to work ok. Not confident enough to spend gems though, already lost 30 earlier.
Also still can't scroll down more than about 10 opponents on iPad and iphone5
OH! An update finally! :D An update that didn't help at all....:rolleyes:
-.-
It's almost less than 7 hours left before the guild war event finishes
and nothing has changed at all, it still crashes everytime.
Really, GREE, really? What kind of update was that?
Are you guys even fixing the problem? I'm guessing not?
Being a fan and a long time player of Knights and Dragons,
:( i'm very...disappointed
"This is far the best event ever in Knights and Dragons"..said no one ever:rolleyes:
*sigh*
As someone in my Guild pointed out, the Update has most likely nothing to do with the Guild War problems as it takes a while for Apple to accept it to the AppStore.
Btt, my fear was confirmed...as the day progresses the same Problems continue, random shutdowns during Battles or while trying to access the Gw Window. When there is no war going on everything is fine but as soon as a war is declared it starts crashing.
One smallish if still annoying workaround which works for me...most of the time...try to forceclose the App. then open the gw Tab, make a Battle...if it works without crash...forceclose the App. after being on the Main gw Screen again. So you should be able to get a battle without a crash.
So the event is nearly over and the game still crashes constantly. I am going to have to think about whether I want to invest any more time and money in this abomination. I have been trying all weekend and only been able to get into three battles.
So far only iphone 5 work fine on guild war. Those having crash on guild war could be using older model iphone.
The iphone 5 story has already been disproved, there are people with i5 that have problems
Crash during battle vs GuardiansQuote:

Guys is it a joke ?
I bought gems but they went up in smoke with many crash during this GW.
GREE must now reimburse all players who bought gems and used during this event.
I also invite all players to rate this version of the app on the appstore to get things moving.
Here is why I think this is happening...
1. We know older model devices have been disapproved as the reason for complications. 2. Reinstalling doesn't work and some have got a mesage claiming they need to update their app, making it our fault some how. (typical GREEd behavior) 3. There are the top guild(s) who are having no problem what so ever and are scoring 600k+ and above in points.
Soo... why is this happening but not for everyone, to me is pretty clear. GREEd has purposely bugged the game for certain players/guilds to work just fine regardless of which device model you use. Which in return allows 'them' (top guiros to reign the event). This no different than when a cell phone company (AT&T) sends out a software update which has a bug written in it to slow down older devices, so that you get angry and go out and buy the newest phone/product. In this case GREEd isn't wanting to by a new device they are allowing those who line their pockets to have the upper hand. This is no different than KA and MW where the top guilds spend ridiculous real cash which makes GREEd Corp. their money and if these top guilds think you shouldn't be able to roll with them they complain to GREEd and GREEd jumps on it within hours, where if I spot a hacker and report it 1 of 2 things happen. I get canned for slandering another player as being a hacker or nothing happens. Bottom line here is, the top guilds unitedforum, pirates this or whatever or whoever they are in this game, always want to be on top and lay large to be there and have a real connection and relationship with GREEd so everything is in their favor.
Oh! Let's not forget that many of you have purchased gems but can't use them!? Seems GREEd got theirs. The only solution I see is what someone else already suggested (sorry can't remember the name for proper credit) is re start the war after the crashing issues have been resolved and reinburst all who bought gems, then we all go at it with a fair playing field.
On a side note I'm curious as to what will happen with my accounts and forum account after posting this.
Just downloaded the update from apple and the game still crashes when I click on the battle icon on the left side of the screen. I am using an apple 4s so using an older device is not a reason for this game to keep crashing.
I only ever had this issue once, Usually though a touch laggy at times, Ive had 0 problems running Guild wars, I am on an Iphone 4 atm.
There are so many popups for GW, Dragon Event (still??? omg get rid of that crap that should have never been extended!), general news, armor crafting, and more! My armor crafting is now all screwed up. I have 3 armorsmiths. Normally, it tells me the armor is done crafting for ALL 3 armors at one time, then takes me to the armorsmith to choose another armor to craft. I choose an armor, press "switch", choose another armor, press "switch", choose the 3rd armor, then close.
Now, it tells me an armor is done and takes me to the armorsmith. I can choose an armor, click swtich, choose an armor, click switch, choose the 3rd armor then exit. When I exit, it tells me my 2nd armor from before is done crafting and forces me back to the armorsmith even though I already chose an armor to craft. Then I exit and it hits me up for the 3rd finished crafted armor from before, again forcing me back to the armorsmith screen that is already crafting the new armor I chose. This has been happening for a few days now.
Oh yeah, still crashing on GW crap!
So, its a giant conspiracy that all the top guilds are winning because GREE secretly bugged GW to affect everyone BUT us? That is a good one. Yes, only let the highest guilds fight it out, that makes total sense. Instead of making money off everyone, they decided to only let a select few properly spend money and have the game work as intended, while the rest of the players can only get in every few battles without crashing, screwing up energy purchase, just to piss people off more. This would hold up (said no one ever), if many of the top guilds had all of their player base available for the guild wars and they didn't have the same issues as everyone else. Please try again...Quote:

1. Hardware
This is one of the biggest factors. iPhone5's are in fact more stable than all others, even if a couple people say theirs are crashing. I'm on iPad mini, been crashing all weekend. If you look up the specs you will see that iPhone5 has twice as much ram as iPad mini, iPhone4, and iPhone4s. If you look in your bug reports under settings you will see many memory related crash reports.
2. Guilds
The top guilds are actually worse off than small guilds, but in a better position than mid sized guilds. Crashes seem to happen when the total players in a war are over 45 or so. I'm in a top guild, and I've only been able to get into 3 war battles. I can only get in when the enemy guild has less than 5 members. Everyone in my guild with iPhone5's can get in every time. Since we have 40 members, we usually have 5-7 players for each war. The top guilds aren't cheating or getting special treatment from Gree, they are just more dedicated. That's why they became a top guild in the first place.
I started a one person guild with my level 40 alternate account, on my crappy iPhone4. I can declare and fight wars as much as I want with that account, works every time.
3. The update
It's been pointed out numerous times that the update has nothing to do with the current war problems. Apple doesn't approve apps that fast.
Hope this helps some people
About the War rules I would like to say something especially about guardians.
They are really useless, you spend money, they don't protect anything and give to your opponent 2 boost armor each...
we are not going to use any guardian anymore and we hope to meet some guild that is unaware of this forum, but still the idea of guardians is crap!
Yeah, guardians need to be revised.
Mate, your post is extremely ignorant and shows you haven't been following this thread very well. There are posts from RR, Untouchables and PB here about how the majority of us can't war, I myself have only been able to fight in 2 without crashing. There are a lot of things that go into being on top, we have great coordination, maxed guild with good maxed armors, constant communication and declaring war strategically and constantly. If there is some big conspiracy theory, the Centurions weren't invited.Quote:

And I don't want to hear that it's a random thing. If there's no chance of fair battles, why even bother playing?
they made several mistakes:
1) guardian are not only expensive and useless but actually help the enemies dropping boost
2) awards are less worth than the boost you can find fighting guardians, unless you are in the top 100
3) to get more boost is better to play alone or with a couple of clones or low level friends
4) the bonus for the guild master is the only thing worth, with guild and champion
5) purchasing boosts from guild is even better if you are alone or at least with couple of people, if you have full upgraded 12 TF you can use very well your money
6) with the money you get the bonuses like +5% and so on increasing just the elements you want, maybe 2-3 of them. Since you don't need at all an high level for it but you just need gold it is really useless to have a high level guild
in few words and not even mentioning the crash problems here we have a clear picture.
Guardians are useless (or even good for enemies), no need for big guilde if you go for boost armors and bonuses, so no need for high level unless you want to get one of the first 100 positions, but you need to have all active and coordinated, so its a big effort that with crashes could be vain
the way has been designed this guild war is definitively wrong and makes better to create everyone of us his own guild and spend money on boost
Woot first beta GWs over, rank45:)
