Mismatch swords - GW season closed as of 27th of July 9AM UTC

Currently looking into it

Mostly it seems to be a visual bug, with 1 "extra" attack showing on the battle result screen, but player is still not able to do any more missions. We might already have found the cause for it.

Some players have still stated to have some extra attacks available after doing 18 already, and able to start a new mission - we are still looking into this, so potential more information is welcomed

Hello Lexia,

We have the same problems.

First day of GW. Good job... Bug wars continues. 🪲🪲🪲😭🤣😂. Maybe postpone it till after the summer, so you can test stuff before releasing it.

The extra swords bug (not the mismatch but real extra swords) seems extremely common so I fully agree that this week’s war should be cancelled.

I seem to have had extra sword as well. After I used all swords and checked scoreboard, my score was showing up a bit higher than is possible with 18 swords.

I think NG should come out with some kind of statement at least to warn people to not exploit these bugs to minimize the impact.  They should say that any teams using more than the allotted number of attacks will be investigated when the dust clears.

Right now, the dilema is that if they punish guilds that took advantage of the extra attacks, then it can unfair for those that did not count their attacks and just spent what they had (honest mistake?)  But, if they do nothing, then teams that are trying to do the right thing are the ones at a disadvantage in terms of RP and VP.  They can't simply wipe away the RP and VP that have already been earned because players have used tools and some may have spent their RP in the GW shop.

It'll be interesting to see what the resolution will be.  Rankings based on today's scores are going to be garbage unless there's some kind of fix.

The only solution is to completely cancel this week’s war and give some token compensation to everyone who played today (like 100 gold) and anyone who used much more need to make a ticket.

Clearly a lot of guilds are going wild and exploit this as much as they can.

Don't put this on the players. It's NG's fault. Although it's honorable that some guilds have chosen not to use extra swords, that doesn't mean the other guilds are all intentionally cheating (like you said). There's a count on how many swords you have in the game, just like there's a count on gas, red gas, tools, tomatoes etc. It's not the players job to double check these. And it's not well spent time for NG to chase after people either, instead of fixing bugs.

Agree.  This is why I said there are likely some honest mistakes and it's unfair to punish those who don't really count swords.  I'm sure NG can also run queries to see which teams have scores above the maximum and then look at logs to see which players exit the game after starting a mission to get extra swords (as reported above).  That is clearly an exploit especially if multiple members on the team do it or if a player does it more than once.  Now, what they're going to do about it is a different issue.

My guild went over the max score but we definitely didn’t do it maliciously. I am the GW coordinator and I couldn’t figure out what was going on and why spent attacks didn’t match remaining attacks. I’m sure many went over max with no intention of cheating/exploiting.
