Schedule Notes: Alpha Arena at 6pm EST.
The game suffered a major outage yesterday. In the early afternoon, about an hour before the conclusion of Day 1 of AQ and then end of AW attack, there was a “time-loop” bug where you would enter a fight, and after the fight you would be right back where you started, like the fight never happened. I experienced this myself versus an alliance war boss, and it appears all game modes were affected. Shortly after this bug was reported, the game was moved to emergency maintenance, where it stayed for the next 6-8 hours depending on whether you were on Android or iOS.
According to the latest Kabam post, all game-play issues have been resolved but there is still an issue with claiming some rewards. Expect a follow-up post on compensation next week, as this was a game-wide issue, and we had alliances that couldn’t finish Alliance Quest and Alliance War, and some alliances were unable to enlist or un-enlisted (this happened to my alliance) for today’s war.
There wasn’t much content yesterday because of the outage, but here’s a few videos to hold you over.
