**Platform, device version and operating system:**
PC laptop, running Steam

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**
Looking at these week’s world event I saw it wanted purple troops. So I copy and pasted a Guild War team. 2 of the troops did not copy (they were red), but 2 did. When I tried to play the game, I got the error above. Turns out the 2 that were allowed (Zuul, and Glaycion) were actually NOT allowed (despite being purple). Bug #1: they too should not have pasted over. Bug #2: The error message should have been more specific. It took me a LONG time to figure out the problem – “event rules” is not enough of a description.
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
Unclear. It might have been there all along and this WE just made it apparent since purple troops were eliminated with not reason why.
**Steps to make it happen again**
Paste this team into your World Event. Try to play.

The restriction is not just purple troops, there are also role limits (scroll down in the filter).

Still a bug. The troops that should have been disqualified shouldn’t have copied. Also (still a bug) saying “troops don’t satisfy ROLE requirement” would have been useful.

This is currently working as intended but I’ve marked the thread as feedback and will put in a quality of life request for how this works.

Heya Kafka,
Could you please clarify the reasoning why it is intended that troops that are not allowed, due to color, **will not** copy/paste into the event team, but troops that are not allowed, due to role, **will** copy/paste into event team? It seems incredibly odd for this to be intentional behavior.

That does seem to be a bad design. Moreover, why can’t the error message say “not correct role” or something like that?
