Hello!
For some reason, recently (since about end January / February) when doing the last few camps of the Surprise attack adventure, when attacking multiple camps at the same time, one of the camps that is currently in battle appears to be intercepting one of my generals when it didn't used to do so before.
Is this a known bug? It's been causing me to loose a few good troops when it didn't use to and it's always the same camp that does this (most guides labels it as camp C12)
Thanks!
are you sure you are folllowing the guide correctly? read it closely.
I'm pretty sure I followed it correctly. I did this adventure plenty of times before and this never happened and ever since late January I had 4 times out of 5 where a camp that was already in battle and had no influence showing around it, intercept a general that was walking around it.
I've experienced this. Another guild member lost a lot of elites with this bug, and figured he messed up the block. I jumped in to help him finish that one, and then started my own. I lost elites on the exact same block -- the camp was fighting, but it intercepted anyway. I waited a couple weeks and played it again; same thing happened. I ended up finishing the thing with ranged support and WPPs because I didn't have the time to make the elites before my LS buyer needed to be out. I've got a few more SA, but it will be a while before I run one again. I had run at least 10 of them during the Christmas event and never had an issue. Still using the same guide I used then.
I have seen this bug as well, at the cost of 100's of Elites.
Once, I even recalled the general that was intercepted and relaunched the attack (easily done since the blocks are so long) and the general was intercepted again despite that the offending camp was long-engaged in a battle.
I reported this bug to support back in December/January and was told that they would not do anything because "blocking is not a supported feature of the game". I guess zone of control and intercept rules are not supported features of the game either.
wow see dev do not care anymore so so sad. thats not just a blocking issue. dev get off ur but and do some good for once and not screw the game up worse.
I've lost 100's of Elites, multiple times, over this same issue on SA advents as well lately
some guldies had the same prob also seems u need to kill that camp now
We understand that you're upset about the zone locks, but beating up on the devs through the forums isn't going to help the issue. The code for this game seems to be very complicated, based on how changing something affects other things that don't appear to be related (Mayor's House collections interfering with Bookbinder, for example).Quote:

Are you checking before sending the attack (any attacks) to see if that camp is red and will be intercepting? If so, then something changed and the guide would no longer be valid.
This is the camp in question that's causing issues, I will be running the adventure and see if I can screenshot when it happens

Awesome, thank you Blitzatma.Quote:

i've been doing a few sa's, but i have never had this problem. if i do get it, i will put in an update though
This bug has everything to do with blocking and not the zone control and intercept rules. You entered the area of control and were forced to attack that camp, thus the zone is working. Blocking exploits the fact the zone vanishes after an attack starts.Quote:

seems they may have fixed it with mant. and also give us a dev dairy can't remember when the last one was posted.
