Night witches - get rid of them - killing the point of trying to upgrade

[obsidi]

i'm glad we've moved to "very much" aware ... i'm not one for hyperbolic criticism but ... it's very important to attend to this.
and i have three night witches .. so i'm in a sense motivated to discourage the fix ... but it's very disturbing to people, and that's not fair.

Hi! Our team is very aware of this and the developers, Big Huge Games, are working to fix this.

If an algorithm exists that SAMs and AA guns can detect normal planes, can't this algorithm be added or incorporated into the Night witch's for the time being, until you sort out the bug that keeps spawning them??

 

[Veldan]

Clearly not. It's not the same anyway. The actual unit is functioning normally, and getting resources with a night witch also works as intended. The only part that's bugged is the fact that they reappear, which is something the game does whether you want it or not. If it did not automatically reappear, and you had to somehow make the bug happen yourself, then it would be a clear exploit, but that's not the case here.

Anyway, if Nexon were going to ban for this, they would have said a long time ago that it's against the rules. Since there has been no word on that, it's not going to happen. An additional argument to make is that they'd have to ban half the playerbase, which would not benefit anyone.

actually before patch 5.5 SAM guns *did* see the night witches; but this was a *bug* .. they are supposed to be stealthy.
so patch 5.5 fixed this and now they don't, making the witches immortal. a cruel comedy joke considering the greater bug in play.

 

[obsidi]

i'll say this about the night witch bug ... it's thematically appropriate .... is a sense the bug is 'correct' to the drama of their namesake.
the eponymous night witches were pretty awesome; this is a fine testament to them.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

don't forget to thank whoever had the brilliant idea of such a stupidly overpowered non tactical unit that can be deployed anywhere without worrying about anything
and above all thanks for the bug that destroyed the game and enabled many players to unfairly steal oil or win wars by abusing their regeneration

 

[SebQuattro]

It's not just the Night Witches, i've come across one player who has the same bug with Red Barons...

 

[obsidi]

yes! i've seen it too... i had to *blink* that it was red barons not the endless rain of witches but this confirms it.
so, this problem has been around for months, but became 'common' once people caught it with the witches.
if this persists, the next event that gives planes is going to be a holiday for rational play.

For the moment I stopped winning oil, I never do more than 50k, just enough to upgrade my generals up to lvl 21. So for the moment no launching of building/research costing oil because because being attacked 10 times a day by nigh witches stealing tens of thousands of oil is just enormous bullsh*t ...

 

[ScipioA]

If Nexon was trying to capture the original spirit of the night witches and just how annoying they were to the Germans, they succeeded spectacularly. These night witches are very annoying make it extremely difficult to build up significant quantities of oil of 50k. I have one of those night witches and while it is easy to go and steal someone else's hard earned oil that is no consolation at all. Someone can come along and just as easily steal my oil. There is no strategy, no skill whatsoever. I almost seems that Nexon created the night witch bug just to make a lives miserable. Nexon, please fix this ASAP. It is ruining the game for all the higher level plays are our base upgrades are pretty much on hold till this gets fixed.

Tonight experience: I go to sleep with 140k oil.
I have to get to 172k to launch the super new strike fighter mk4. I'm super excited because i could do it this morning! I have an armory slot free and available for the last two days to be sure to be able to research it as soon as i get to 172k. I open the game and i'm at 116k. an entire night of night witches raiding.
basically i lost more than i gained in the last game session.
what should i do nexon? buy your frackin treaties?
i've been trying to get to 172 for the last 3 days wich was very easy until night witches appeard.
Here's my suggestions about the matter:
- just delete every player's night witch. I still have my 3, i don't care. i don't even know if i can do the glitch. Just take them away from everybody and move on. they are anyway useless unless you have the glitch.
-start giving compenstation to players who lose oil this way: you sell oil for a great amount of crowns in the shop, if that's the value you give to oil you should totally compensate players for losing such amounts
Nb4powerup please give us infos about the matter

ps a great thanks goes to the korean player with loot blessing stealing me 7.5k and leaving me a 12 hours treaty.

I was gonna upgrade my oil wells soon, but I think I'll reconsider until this night witch cancer is dealt with. Infact, I don't think it's even worth the effort trying to farm up more than 100k oil at the moment without waking up in the morning to find I've lost around 30~k oil in the span of an eight hour night's rest with no PT. Time to start investing in general upgrades, I guess.

This glitch is sending several long term players into the long grass. Had 240, 224 levels and today a 223 level player all give up "temporarilly", until this is fixed. They have invested in the game to get to where they are, but cannot get the oil to move forward now. Come on Nexon pull your finger out and fix this, it is not beyond your wit or skill to solve it overnight!

This is the case with many bugs and issues in this game though. I really can't understand why they're taking this long to fix anything, because they are absolutely capable of doing it much faster.

The nigth witches need to fixed already.

Just lost 10k oil of god knows how much in total to these bloody witches.
This coupled with other issues is really making me consider to just quit, its almost unplayable if you want to war/farm oil.

I am sure you are hearing it from everyone but we are not hearing anything from you. When will this be fixed??? Major major flaw in your game.

 

[Vixen]

This tops my list of things to be fixed!!! Drop everything else Nexon and fix this first please

 

[obsidi]

there are 5 or 6 threads on this already; i think it would be better to contrubite/lengthen/bump them than make new threads; you will just frustrate the moderator.

i agree with you; the longer this goes on the deeper pain we all feel....

on the plus side, i've been motivated to come here and complain! nice to meet you all lol.

 

[Vixen]

I am trying to frustrate them!!!!!
Nice to meet you obsidi

We can't have enough threads about this tbh
