This server is still messed up!

It's awful!

The top guys have got to billions of attack/defence and over 30,000 units, while the rest of us lag behind at 10,000-20,000. They got this through mainly UP and haven't raided, so (surprise surpise), no Stargate.

These players are invincible to Sabotages as you both need Stargates. (No need for anticovert then, one less stat to concentrate on.)

You also can't destroy their weapons, as yet again defence weapons don't get damaged on attack. (glitch)

You can't mass them at all for that matter, because unit loss is currently broke too, and is always 0 or 1. (glitch)


It's not fair on all of us who are behind and have no way to slow down thier progress. Those who build huge defences with no Stargate are untouchable. Newgrounds is already defensive enough as it is, and most goes the defender's way. Isn't Beta suppose to end soon, and yet we are seeing huge problems that need addressing.......

I agree most people are invincible now! Its even worse now than when we first started playing with the top players being in the hundreds of billions! Atleast you could catch them.

No unit losses at the moment so may aswell just give unlimited turns aswell. Considering all strategys are out of the window, as goes the quote goes, 'I havent got a pot to piss in, or window to throw it out of' lol [-X

Defence in the game is way beyond over powered. Theres always supposed to be a way to get people down again, at the moment its impossible! :smt093

Re: This server is still messed up!

Let's address this a more rational way shall we? Take this to the admin section dedicated to bugs and see what J has to say about it. I'm not sure what you're expecting tbh.. would you like us to start waving bandanners around and chanting or a mass drive email to get his attentions.

It's beta. It was effed from the start and.. did I mention it's beta and to be re-set? Add to that the emphasis it shall be re-set when (and here's the important part) all the bugs have been exterminated.

Re: This server is still messed up!

To be fair semps, yeah it is a bit whining, but it does bring up the very valid point that even if you fix the recognised bugs there are fundamental gameplay flaws which need a major rethink before it is ready for release...

There we go Semper, maybe this is the more rational way to look at it.

By the way, many of the bugs have been posted in relevant section for days (even weeks) on end and haven't been dealt with. Even then, it doesn't improve the obvious flaws as said above.

For the record Beta was suppose to end around now. Many times in the past have game companies released such products with issues, just to meet deadlines (as an example). What's to say any gameplay faults would be dealt with at all if it wasn't for whining and moaning?


It may not be waving banners or mass emailing to prove a point, but atleast shows that someone cares and is dedicated enough to the cause, even if it is moaning to get the problem noticed. Caring is what still drives this community along after six years, and what Gatewars needs a lot right now.

I'm interest do you still share the same opinion? It's one month on the same bug exists and there's been another reset and still the same bugs persist.

Maybe moanings not the way and something more out there is need. No offence but at this rate there won't be many players left on newgrounds.
