[Investigating] No Defense score added to GW

A new theory :+1: As I said, any indication or guess for the reason is very welcome to me. IĀ“d really like to understand, what is happening. However, the data in my guild can not support this theory.

Our leading scorer in this guild wars is 20/0 up to now and 38 001 points, so averaging a score of 9500 per day ā†’ not affected by the bug. Given the current number of battles in the journey for this player (215 up to now), I would assume, that at least one, if not two tier VII have been bought.

On the other hand, I see someone with only 61 battles in journey ā†’ I would assume only a few, if any, tiers bought yet. This member has done all guild war battles up to Friday (Saturday not done yet) and was affected by the bug for two times up to now.

It does feel like the devs left us to solve this mystery and they will return on Monday to see the resultsā€¦

and in case anyone was wondering ā€¦ it can happen twice to the same person ā€¦ red day and blue day for me ā€¦ another guild mate red day and green day ā€¦ and i kinda lost count :confused:

It can also happen 3 times out of 3 days to the same person.

yeah havenā€™t heard of 3 yet but 2 is confirmed cuz am one of them ā€¦ and yes there r ppl not affected even once ā€¦ the way players r being picked is beyond logic to me :thinking:

i donā€™t think is Journey related either cuz we closed Journey before Tuesdayā€™s Red day even started ā€¦ i personally have not touched it in 2 days now this will be 3rd

I was also affected two times out of the first three days. Now two times out of four days, today was good for me.

In my guild, 29 players are proceeding with guild wars as usual, meaning they do the battles daily. One is holding back until Sunday. 11 of the 29 have the correct scoring up to now, the others have been affected once, twice and one player three times. Today, only 6 people have done their battles yet, the 3/3 guy is not one of them, IĀ“m curious, if his streak will go on :woozy_face:

:flushed: :broken_heart: i really hope it wonā€™t happen considering how demotivating that can be

Eventually;

Here is what I do and Iā€™m not afflicted by the GW-Bug as of nowā€¦ still have a day.
PC/mobile (PC)
If it not already is closed I restart the game.
Get the emails with daily stuff.
Do my GW-Battles.
After that I do all the other dailies and play journey.

I had the 0/0 on the first day of GW but that did nothing too.
Also havenā€™t changed my GW-Teams at all, only switching positions to match the appropriate day.

sorry to disappoint but i did the same as u and got hit twice already ā€¦ the randomness makes my brain curl :disappointed:

I won all my battles and didnā€™t lose a single troop and I get score 7587 points. This is beyond stupid.
Why this bug did not get fixed?!
Why every time we get an update or something new, thereā€™s always a bug.
We deserve better.

The dev response to this bug is beyond disappointing. It is infuriating. What do you mean you donā€™t have anyone to work on this until Monday? Unacceptable. Do we players not deserve somebody on standby during the weekdays to work on bugs? This is the reddest of red flags imaginable. They donā€™t have anyone in the office working on a weekday that is not a holiday. Do not put another cent into this game.

And donā€™t think I missed your ā€œfixā€ for the journey miles calculation either. ā€œSorry guys but even though we didnā€™t mean for scoring to work this way we will pretend we did and change the article instead.ā€

The bug hit me tooā€¦

Devs, donā€™t think that GW is the some old outdated mode without monetization, so GW bugs doesnā€™t matter. It is indeed old and outdated mode but it indirectly give you more money than you think. Iā€™m buying campaign passes, I bought kingdom pass for the only reason - to stay competive for GW. All money that I spend in GoW is for that reason - to stay competetive in GW. And Iā€™m not alone in that approach.

Same thing here for the first time today. Multiple guildmates hit by the bug as well, some multiple times. I think, @Neritar nailed the issue here. There is no point in any progression, unless this progress is somehow applied to something that is relevant. Otherwise, one can buy potions or whatever ā€œhelperā€ (aka cheater) tools have been developed over the past years on a case-to-case basis if desired.

Also, the looping is really reaching a new heights. In previous incarnations, only a few selected cards have been able to loop. Now, any card can loop on any move without any reason. The spontaneous spawn rate of ā€œspecialā€ gems has to go down, especially in guild wars, since this renders the game essentially unplayable. Regular ā€œnormalā€ looping at least presumed that some choice of cards matters. Now, anything can loop ad nauseam. Thus, choice of cards no longer matters.

As it goes, the developers will be left alone with collector-type casino-loving players chasing some flashy elusive gnomes or whatever new stuff comes out because all sensible aspects have been systematically obliterated and replaced with constant flashy and ā€œfeaturesā€, apparently ā€œworking as intendedā€.

Current state of GoW is gradually becoming completely out of whack similar to how it were with uncontrollable spawning by Webspinner long time ago and similar cards (including Bone Dragon and some others), which actually had been acted upon back then rather expediently after a massive outcry of the player base here on the forum. Some occasional annoyances can be tolerated but incessant annoyances seem to become a new norm, and a completely dumbed down system appears to be emerging in a full uncontrollable swing.

Dear developers! In the Palladium guild (1 basket) there are several players who have not been counted 2 times for defense 2 times each, a lot of those who have not counted 2 times for 2,000 points 1 time. Calling Common Sense to Undo this Guild War

What should really be done is a gw battlers get compensated for the gems spend for sentinels to 5 or any cost of any sentinel level. Plus freeze the brackets for this month of Nov. gw and or till you get the scoring fixed. The stress of scoring be bugged and players now dont seem to be focus on the wins as much as if there was no bug is way too much to handle. With the no Dev even communicating with us in forums till Friday also brought down the spirit of this game, The multiple of bugs in every new update seems to me that DEVS are more concern in releasing new updates but, not in testing new updates. Where is the quality control managers or how about placing a new community manager so you get the message sooner and we dont have to wait till the day before the weekend just to hear from a Dev.

Thank you for this thread. Thought I was going crazy with the unusual lower score this week.
Not all our guild members seem to be affected.

Mb theres some kind of inner crisis in the devs company, cause they were aquired by 505 in the beginning of 2021, and there was no new news on the infinity+2 site since july. And mb that the place where could hide some reasons of such passivity of devteam.

Itā€™s very disheartening to get more total points for losing a battle in a day vs winning all 5 fights, but have your score bugged
Points with 1 loss

Points with no losses but bugged score
