Wonderful bug or cheating, you tell me OMAC :) Note that all attacks come from one province.

This post will be edited for further detail and information, if any interest is shown. Have a happy login all of you, I bet you will need it :*

[DHaran]

Holy ****...

Are the troops and land actually gone?

[Luc]

I heard this was an existing bug that happens when the server is slow. I.e. it's a combination of Mehul's crappy coding, and OMAC's servers being too slow atm.

Only the last hit counted :)

[DHaran]

Jolt hasn't replied to a single post about these bugs.

[Mindcontroller]

sweet :P *wonders when the reply on this 1 will come*

[MorbidAngel]

I would blame cheeting allinaces!

[Mindcontroller]

reported:
[Utopia Support #21677] since it was me who got hit so mush....

[Thundergore]

I've seen a few reports on this through the ticket system and have already sent them up to be looked at as a precaution. It is true that the current server issues (I have no update to provide on this and for that I am truly sorry) could cause the duplicate attacks shown but I don't think it over cautious to pass the issue along to be looked into.

I'd ask for folks experiencing it to submit tickets with full details so we can keep tabs on them as best we can.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS GAME IS ABOUT, BUT THAT GUY SURE GOT PWND(right?)

I appreciate your appearance here :)

How about ending the age soon and then start a new one when the server issues have been addressed? Perhaps only keep the KD forum up until then?

Yes, it would appear so :)

[DHaran]

Keep tabs? Are you comprehending the level of bugs that have popped up the last week Thundergore? It needs to be addressed NOW, it is ruining wars, aid packets are disappearing, dragons are flying into oblivion, and you want to "keep tabs". Get a clue man.

You are welcome - I feel that my appearance is less than effectual. I'm a mere messenger at the moment. As a result I'll certainly pass your feedback and recommendation along to the folks that make that decision.

I do understand you here. A lot of issues popped up. I know it happened a long while ago too when there were server issues. The concerns around this are genuine. However (and again I'm stuck repeating myself) I can only pass the details on. I can't fix it. If I could I'd be helping out with the effort going into it.

I can pop up here and say 'I'll pass it on', 'send in tickets so we can know the extent of the issue', and other (somewhat meaningless) phrases. Or I can not pop on. I chose the former as I think it's the least I can do as a CM.

I am putting myself on here as an employee and you can level complaints at me and I'll pass the on. If they are about 'me' or the CM team I can see about a few more active changes - but if they're code/bug related I'm an errand boy.

Just thought it'd be good for you guys to know the community team aren't trying to ignore you.

[DHaran]

Thundergore is your nick hidden? You aren't listed in Jolt forums at all right now, and you keep posting. It is inappropriate for a person in your position to hide his nick from the forum users.
