First off, it should be noted that I’m not ranting nor raving about these notification bugs. Cause I do understand that mistakes happen and not every issue can be caught prior to release. Some things… really have no excuse though. That being said… **Platform, device version and operating system:** Android S9+ **Screenshot or image:** ![Screenshot_20181211-202807](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/c/1/c1784dc848db0239cc9ad5fff44f989b17c6e27d.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20181211-201922_Discord](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/2/0262d575c48320deae83b7f359538d494423292c.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20181211-193822_Discord](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/0/907a6f6856a070205cc04d105a88fa170bc6a358.jpeg) **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** During 4.1 pvp alerts were made a thing. I turned them off and hadn’t gotten one until 4.2 came out. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Randomly. It’s triggering even when I don’t have PvP rewards to claim which I think is a separate issue. **Steps to make it happen again** I’ve done a hard restart already. Per @Kafka’s advice I’ve turned them on and then back off. Since then I’ve received 2 alerts for PvP. ---

Can confirm. I’m having this exact issue. I also did not receive a single one between turning them off and the 4.2 update. ---

The team were fixing some issues with notifications not sending (in your other report AW) and you may have received a flurry of notifications for a while as the fix went out. After a restart please let us know if this keeps happening. ---

We’re investigating it and will hopefully have a fix soon. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience in the mean time. ---

Just to be clear @awryan - I didn’t realise this was a separate issue, so thanks for bumping this! No new news at this stage ---

No new news at this stage You’re going to ruin my Christmas if this isn’t resolved by CoB tomorrow. No pressure though. 😀 This isn’t an easy work around bug. If I turn off all notifications then I can’t get pet or tribute alert. Due to 4.2 I got rid of the channel that used to alert me on discord for pet rescues. I can go back to using me phones clock for tribute notifications. The worst part about the PvP alert is NO ONE even wants them. ---

It looks like this should be fixed for 4.2.5 but we need to test and confirm (at a later point). ---
