Sometimes when you start an attack it will start taking a while to load and then give you an error. It may be because someone else started attacking that base, or for some other reason. But the problem is that it actually counts your monsters as used even though you never had a chance to use them. This is very, very bad especially in this version of the event where we can't restore cooldowns. I've prepared good monsters and then can't even use them in the event because of this. This is happening a lot and could prevent teams from getting enough points.

same is happening to my team right now, lost 2 attacks and not on an easy target, 15 minutes later and it still shows target is attacked @Fox , can we get some support here please

Other people are reporting another bug where it doesn't count as a win at the end of the battle. Can anyone explain this one more? I haven't had it happen yet.

the other bughh is that you get a win but the "connection" disappears, says base is unavailable right now, then your monsters get removed and no points are granted to either team.

This happened on two consecutive fights for me about an hour ago. I saw other people in chats reporting the same thing. I know this is a known bug from last time, but something's happening to make it occur frequently right now.

Had that problem too. Won an attack and at the end i got a message that this slot is already under attack although i attacked and won the battle.

@Boris happened to me, always "nice" it happens during weekend maybe SP should think about not do beta testing during weekend

it's just not cool, tried to get into discord but didn't find any info there either....i "lost " 4 teams so far with the disconnecting plus a few on my team ...on a tight battle can mean the loss of a diamond relic, seriously not cool at all ....! trying to stay polite here but it's tough , it's not the first or the second time stuff happens in the weekend !

@Alex-Pisi well no tight match here we were matched against a team ranked more than 100 places above us so we were trying for 115k 2nd place well that wont help if you lose matches you won or not even could start, we tried now 4 times in tbg I think my team is done after this one, i think it could be a great event but not with bugs thats in there since the beginning, we had the same worse but same in our first

but but ...it shouldn't happen, we keep losing good stuff, now i cannot get into wars , keeps saying something's off, try later ...well i'd try later but it's 1 in the morning and i gotta do 10 attacks ! coz rage wars ....and weekend ! ugh , cannot express how i'm feeling right now or i'd be banned

Right now we have 3 people online and 7 bases are under attack ... what the ...

It has happened to me twice now. I won one battle team battlegrounds crashed, I did not get credit for the win and my monsters are counted as used. Second time I was loading the battle it crashed and monster counted out.

@Marianne-van-Es totally agreed with you, some highly important events shouldnt be put on weekends when no one is around to fix the bugs. A lot of people complained about this issue in the earlier battleground and a lot of people complained about the weekend survival dungeons crashing and SP still hasnt changed their ways

@Alex-Pisi I know how you feel been feeling the same since Friday

... 13 crashes and counting as this is only from the few that reported them on our team server! Absolutely unacceptable and SP better come up with some APPROPRIATE compensation!!! @Fox

Si@Boris

@David-ML I get anger, I get frustation, I get a lot of things I dont get compensation.
10 crashes = 100 orbs a teammember or 100 gems or talany cells better Nemesis cells of our choice. Or only the ones that had the crashes get compensation? My team had crashes the whole first tbg after the first 4 hours the only one we might have won but and costed gems to refresh, should we get compensation for that too....

LOL, you know that this very bug was around in the previous 2 BGs, and reported over and over again? And all they did was - right, take away the opportunity to revive monsters, and reduce the rewards.

SO sloppy programming. Just as those ever crashing survival dungeons. They are so scared of a few people using flight mode that they ruin it for everybody.

I'm almost done with this game, again.

A lot of games give out compensation for bugs. I remember a game that (while having a lot less bugs to start with) awarded the equivalent of $5 or $10 in premium currency whenever there was a major bug, downtime or even a regular update where the game wasn't available for a few hours. And if the bug affected only some players, they would compensate only those. And that's fair, IMO.

But seems SP is so greedy that they'd rather alienate and lose their paying players than give out a bit of free currency.

SP's servers were a mess in general about 12 hours and 16 hours ago. Both in Team Wars and Battlegrounds.

Not sure about compensation, since this affected all teams and at the end probably a more or less equal number of attacks were lost, maybe depending on time zones. On the other hand, a nice apology and a token compensation would do a lot of good.

@Frunobulax I dont play other games so sorry my perspective is limited.
For me if you compensate it should be fair. I cant see a realistic compensation here, some maybe didnt have any trouble, others had a lot. If you gave a way a generous amount of a certain currency the worth of that currency gets imbalanced if you gave away a small amount as done before players will think its a joke.

I too have experienced other games where they compensate for issues within events which prevents users from playing, both in "in game currency" and extensions to the event. But with that said I am not of the philosophy that "SP is being greedy", I just think they do not know how to implement it partially, it seems to be an all or nothing thing with them. Also since most of their events are back to back to back, extending an event is almost impossible without creating other issues. They of course can fix this by 1. stop having so many events so close together, 2. stop releasing events without testing them to ensure a minimum of bugs, 3. stop trying to release so many events, I really felt I needed to add that one again. It's amazing that they went from have no new events in weeks to a month to having them constantly going and now with two or more going at the same time. I do not know if this is desperation or greed, but they really need to realize that quality over quantity will take them a lot farther. While I like the changes in events where now they include more older monsters instead of two or more new ones, I dislike VERY MUCH that they have made it impossible to get the new one without a lot of gems spent. I do not actively attempt to obtain much with these events anymore, I will just get what I get. Though I am finding I like these mini events as long as they do not include breeding portions. I'm done with these impossible to achieve breeding events, especially the cascaded ones.

Wooh sorry for the tangent, I started all this to say I do not think it is greed but more like inability to achieve.

@Marianne-van-Es I don't expect a diamond relic as compensation, but it would be nice to give all players something worthwhile as an apology. As others have said, most other gaming companies give out compensations for bugs, inconveniences, down-times. I have also played a few other games and always received something when there was a bug or whatever affecting the game, some more, some less generous but in all cases much more than what we have been getting from SP!

@David-ML the reactions on previous compensations except the ones due to maze time-outs at last hour were not very positive. So you dont expect a diamond relic but what would satisfy you?

You had 13 crashes we prob had around the same maybe slightly more our opponent maybe 1, 25 or 100. The teams that finished battlegrounds in the first couple of hours didnt suffer any crash, the teams from other time zones had either more or less I can go on and on. Btw not only tbg crashed war crashed too and chat

The game has had a serious problem with bugs for years. I've never played a more buggy game, yet they still constantly release new features and events instead of making sure the current ones are working. The amount of bugs can make the game seriously frustrating. I feel like most of my time spent on this forum has been complaining about them.

Compensating with gems might be nice, but it doesn't fix how unfair the amount of bugs can make the game. Instead of focusing on doing the best you can, it turns into more about hoping to be lucky that you won't encounter one. Everyone would get the compensation, but you're still down 100 orbs, or maybe your team even lost the whole event because of it.

@Boris You have no idea that this is exactly how I feel about the game as whole. It just keeps making new stuff without caring about stuff that needs improved, or fixed now. It's the Olafur "Harumph" bug all over again.
