No offense ES, but people were getting raided for UU's and the turn timer was ticking down for at least 10 mins before the auto-training started and there was NO message in game it was gonna happen, update page indicated it was all done too. I didn't have as many UU's as a lot of guys here, but the fact PPT wasn't given BEFORE the patch went in was a mistake, the fact no message was put ingame about the autotraining was a mistake.

We are keen players, nothing more, we had little reason to risk waiting for training when everything in game indicated we could do it ourselves...

Let me repeat:

I do NOT sit in front of a computer all day. For all I know, the patch could have been in place for hours. Please stop accusing us of being idiots just because we happened to log in at the wrong time and panicked. Back off and consider yourself lucky that you don't have to deal with thousands of lost UU.

Geez

I think its easy to miss one or two things in an update. I read it about 3 times and I still missed it, I trained 8500is now I have 850 all lifers.(or so it seems) I don't think lifers are all bad but just because you miss one or two things geez.

EXACTLY

if you had 800k UU and raid was fully functional u would start freaking too..


a few thousand lifers is well worth the cost to not have all your UU RAIDED because u r waiting on them to be converted....

the post by forum was what he was thinking of doing, the exact details were not confirmed ......

not having ppt before the change a mistake, u dont do massive updates while people are running around doing things

i lost over 100kUU because i did not want to lose uu to raid, the irony cuz i lost them to the update instead

i'm starting to think the only easy solution is to reset to just before the patch, if that's possible, so many reports of missing UU's, raided UU's and other issues :(

You and Admin must be good friends then, because we weren't informed that he was working on it.

<hits head on table>

I knew what the changes were supposed to be, and that they were coming soon. Just because you trust game programmers to put out everything they say they are going to put out doesn't mean I do. It is quite common for people to leave stuff out in a final draft of anything because they didn't really like it in the rough draft or didn't have time or care to put it in.

i think there should be a reset to before the change , cuz i know he would have backed up the game before this major of a change

i am pretty sure how it happend

variable (untrained units)
variable (miners)
variable (lifers)

i trained enuff miners to get 13,200 lifers
then the update went and did the following
miners = untrained units (translated miners is equal to amount of UU)
UU is now equal to zero

this is why i still have 13,200 as the number for lifers
and the miners is the exact amount of UU i did not train ...

reset is needed

i knew it was going to happen, but i didn't know WHEN, neither did anyone else. All i saw was the server back up and the update saying it was all done. Yes, i know admin said we were being auto-trained, but he didn't say we'd have to wait 10-15 mins and risk having a ton of UU's raided by other players.

Seriously, how on EARTH can you even think about taking your stance. It's purely down to failure to communicate IN GAME to the players what was happening and failing to put everyone on PPT beforehand. None of these problems are player related, we don't choose when to update and when to give everyone PPT's. Stop blaming us for caring about our accounts, quite frankly it is insulting.

I think that theory is exactly right. From about 60k UU I traded 21600 troops for turns and I ended up with about 39k miners.
