Abduct attack gets NO scientists?

[DethValley]

So because I chose to abduct oop, and someone else chose to hit for land or wasnt active enough to hit at all the first tick. I get screwed? If you are taking the scientist from me then give me back my land. You don't get out of a hole, by digging.

This is my first time playing Utopia and I was aware it was a bug. If you don't believe me, have Bishop check my account. :p

Cool, welcome to Utopia! Hope you enjoy!

You're definitely more informed than most new players (IMO).

bugs happen. it screws plls over. there is no best fix that doesnt screw over any one, just the best fix that screws over the least.

On a game that is 20 years old we would expect the programmers to be less amateurs. abduct bugs, blizzard bugs and so on looks like there was no test at all before sending the code to production and having a stubborn support that just closes threads and ignore any fairness on the game is complicated.

What about being more friendly and accept the mistakes?

lmao... too funny...

I just came back mid-last age. Used to play around ages 9-20 then found out what vagina is all about (lol, jk).

I must admit, I'm a bit shocked at how few people play now... When I stopped playing this I believe there were multiple servers (that many people).

If you want to make a bash post you could start by knowing what you write about. :)

Very disappointed if I lose rewards for my abduct. Not cool.

Mildly disappointed that I got NO GAINS from my attack. I don't expect anything back (maybe my army).

Sometimes... the most exciting in the game is to wait for Bishops next move. *grabs-popcorn*

Good on ya Mr B to do something for all those who lost scintists, it really was nothing less to be expected, and it would really have made a portion of players just leave the game if not fixed. No bs.

Well they're "fixing" it again. Let's see what happens. It'd be just as unfair to my guys if they lose all of the scientist they gained. We always planned on going for sci, it's not our fault there was a bug.

[JerseyJoe]

Now what happens when that kingdom waves back with our armies out. Now we get double screwed?

[shadowscard]

I understand with big changes like this there are bound to be bugs that need fixing. But the fact that initially there was no word about what is being done about it (and we still don't know, waiting for the server update atm) i think is irresponsible. Also if you're going to roll out such a big change why not save the server right before oop so if something does go wrong you can roll it back 1-2 hours?

Edit: so I got 2 scientist back which is fine but I'd just like to point out that as a Sage with scientist protection I probably shouldn't have lost any scientists to begin with this early in the age. Again picking sage was apparently a huge mistake.
