I’m in the current tournament with only three 5*, of which only two are maxed, and with the increased mana rate, making you even more dependant on good fields than already is the case in normal games, I lost my fourth game yesterday. I was still in the top 1% though, so when I noticed the message on the screen saying so many hours until the tournament would END in stead of the next round, I decided it would be worth the 75 gems to carry on, try to win a few more rounds and hope to remain in the top 1%. After all, the loot is decent enough.
This morning I noticed the red cross next to the raids icon and sure enough the tournament did not end at all. I had to fight again with my weak team and to top it all off I got lousy fields and lost three more fights, tossing me out of the tournament again! This is not what I payed 75 gems for!
Okay, I really don’t care that much about the gems (it’s not that much) or about not winning (I had low expectations when I signed up), but I HATE getting tricked this way. To quote Talk Talk (remember?): Such a Shame…
I was also caught out by this bug. Yes, I knew the 5 day announcement had been made. But no, my life does not prioritize this game as I would if I were in a competitive sports league - it’s a game app on my phone I play in down time during the day. I didn’t specifically recall the start date (they’ve been random thus far) and I trusted the in game timer to be correct.
This one seems like a fairly impactful error on a lot of players.
yesterday i got knocked out of tournament had 2 hits left but it said tournament ends in blank hours not next day in blank hours so decided to let the 2 go now it says not only is it still going but it also will continue another day after that just venting and wondering did anyone else do the same or similar
@Petri The timer now shows “Next Battle Day begins in: 14h 5m ” Instead of stating that the tournament ends in so much time. Now it gives the impression that there will be a sixth day of battles instead of ending tonight.
That is really very nice and all, but I’ll always believe the software itself over announcements. A visual bug like this is much rarer than postponed releases and last minute changes in events. When messages like this are sent, the actual situation should be checked in stead of reacting to a separate messaging calendar.
