Was working on a Sons of the Little Tailor today, and ran a successful block with 3 normal generals. 2 of them behaved as usual, but on returning to camp, the 3rd one was put on a 4 hour recovery timer even though he didn't die. He is in fact still fully loaded with troops, thereby locking down all my cannons for 4 hours until he wakes up...and blocking a spot needed for sending blocks to other zones. Kind of an annoying bug!
i am running a bk adventure and all my blocks are recovering without losing any troops.
Well I am not so lucky, while in this loop of arriving again and again....I have lost the entire groups arriving troops none were in cool down. The arrival area was crowded if that helps. My losses of high value troops on one VLT adv from this happening is 600 elites at least and 700 XBmen. Roll back would seem in order.
Hello everyone,
I hate to say this, but I will say it again: Blocking in adventures is not an intended feature. We do not offer support for failed blocks, use blocking at your own risk.
Cordially,
BB_Endesmor
regardless of that policy, a gen shouldnt be in 'recovery' IE dead, if the troops arent dead. they changed something. if it was intentional, it should have been announced. if unintentional, it should be fixed.
Thanks saltery, that was my point as well. I have no problem with my generals/troops dying because I was stupid. What I don't like is generals that did not die sitting there for 4 hours with all my troops. It only happened on one out of about 7 blocks I did today, but boy that one time was annoying!
The change was unintentional, else it would have been included in the patch notes.Quote:

Does not matter what the general is used for - he goes to a state of recovery, with the troops - without having failed his mission:

here is a good one, on adventure , no troops lost, but gen is in recovery, can't unload those troops either
Attached screenshot, but it wont let me just paste it!
How stupid can this game get?
This is a real beauty.
I really hope they fix this before easter. I'm starting to dread every patch, even if it does have cool new things
Could we get confirmation that the issue of recovering generals with trapped troups has been accepted as a bug and is being investigated? If so, do we have an estimated fix date?
I agree with psalyery such bs fix bugs and keep the new garbage out of game I think most will agree!!!!
I shudder at the thoughtQuote:

I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing this problem, but I can't seem to find a thread for it…
I send my generals to an adventure island and they keep reloading over and over. And then, once they've set up camp, I try to move them around the island and it seems to work, then they jump back to their original landing area. I try shifting troops around and it works, but then they shift back to their original general. Someone in my guild mentioned this is a glitch in the bonus time feature. Okay, I understand there are glitches, but why don't the game producers remove the bonus feature until they fix the glitch? It's a big waste of my time to keep having to repeat all these actions on the adventure islands. I'd rather there was no bonus feature to begin with. Ugh…
Bson
they are removing the bonus tomorrow. they needed to leave it up today so they could research what went wrong
This bug is not only attributable to blocking. I have a general in recovery now after successfully killing a camp and then being retreated. So, I now have a gen with 251 stuck cavalry that just successfully killed a camp. Quite a bug if you have to recover after killing a camp with 251 troups left over.
yep. i have a gen that wasn't in a block that is now in recovery too, after successfully defeating it's camp. getting a bit ridiculous now guys
Others in my Guild have reported this issue as well as described above by bson.
Hello,
Thanks for your reports, everyone.
We have notified the developers and they are working on a fix.
Thank you for your patience,
BB_Endesmor
ps: threads merged.
The blocks seem to work and there is no troop loss - but they seem to have to recover as IF they were dead? (or do I juts need to start paying attention again? lol)
It's a new bug. Sometimes a gen just goes into recovery even if the block went fine. And then you lose the gen and those troops for the 4 hours of recovery. That's the new challenge. How many blocking gens can you lose and still get ur adventure done in a timely manner? :) It's also a great medipack marketing plan.
Just completed a successful block of a camp. General came back to camp with no loss of troops. Message appeared that general was wounded and had to heal. Definitely an area to be looked at.
I first experienced this issue today, with my last successful block coming two days ago. Based on only a few people noticing this, it may not happen all the time. Or not on every adventure. Mine happened on VLT. Do you get it all the time, and on what adventure?Quote:

Happened to me on BK more then once
It happened on my first two blocks on SE - and the rest of the blocks were fine after that - got all my troops back from those blocks have the gens "recovered"
This happened just now to me as well. It looks like they're aware of it.

It's a psychological experiment to see how much dysfunction people will tolerate before they quit playing.
rofl. That is not funny and it is at the same time. Are you having fun with the event, yet? ^^
The issue with the recovering generals is now fixed.
Please let me know if you are still experiencing this specific issue.
Cordially,
BB_Endesmor
Yes Moonlime, I am enjoying the event. This is a great game, I was only kidding about the psychological experiment remark. ;)

Call it whatever you like.. Unless BB changes the above mechanics.. I am not sure what BB means by saying blocking is not supported.
A bug in the mechanics described above, is a bug which needs to be fixed.
No one is saying "OMG, I lost my troops with a failed block... BB is to blame"
Please keep an open mind about issues being highlighted by the players. The response above seems to have been a knee jerk reaction.
lol, AlliNell. It's been a fun event despite some complaints.
me too...I had a general not only succeed at the block, had fulll troops and was in recovery, but I could not access those troops to finish the adventure either.
