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

[Veldan]

I have no idea why such a simple bug with such a clear trigger (relog) needs to take ages to fix. I remember recently that when they reached the 100m revenue and did some interviews, BHG said this:

"How big is the team currently handling live ops on DomiNations?"

"We have about 40 people on the team, spread across engineering, design/product, art, production and quality assurance."

You telling me with 40 people you can't fix a bug in less than a month?

 

[JMoney]

You explained it yourself, though; 40 people in the team aren't all debuggers. I don't expect the guys in the art department to be the guys with the know how to work on the coding side, that's not what they're hired for, after all.

This is a huge issue Nexon!!!!

 

[Vixen]

Nb4powerup can we get an update on the fix please? when something is this bad it shouldn't take this long

 

[Wendy]

just take them away from everybody and give 100 crowns to people that didn't use them yet.
simple.

 

[Veldan]

JMoney true, but you can also look at that from another viewpoint: if they got 40 people, and none can fix a bug, perhaps we should question their priorities in what they hire people for...

Lost 40k oil in 1 single night...
Just remove them from the game if you can't fix it, Nexon. Im sure those of us with unused witches don't mind. Its worth if I can acteally work towards maxing paratroopers.

 

[TheOneLeggedOne]

At least 10,000 Crowns, may cover a small portion of our Losses, via these SPINELESS SCUM that raid OIL with them...

 

[Nb4powerup]

No ETA but the team is working to correct the unit. As soon as I have more details, I'll share them ASAP.

 

[Nb4powerup]

Hi! I don't have any additional information at this time. Right now, BHG is heads down working on a fix for this and other issues.

 

[FroggyKilla]

I'm a bit new to this issue... what's a Night Witch?

 

[BeerMan]

Maybe the lesson here is to not create invincible troops. If this respawn issue had occurred with a group of rock throwers, nobody would care. I have temporarily stopped trying to hoard oil until this is fixed (and ride out my peace treaties, which isn't my style).

(yes, I joined the forum just to complain about the night witches lol. Howdy everyone.)

 

[Quovatis]

They had an event that gave these unkillable (in battle) planes. There is a bug that returns these planes even after consumed in battle, for some players. Thus these players can constantly raid for oil with an unlimited number of these units for all eternity.

 

[Quovatis]

Remember how long it took them to fix the force-quit exploit? Don't hold your breath.

 

[FroggyKilla]

God knows how that got through the brainstorming stage....

 

[Christopher-Outlaws!!]

I asked Nb4powerup about this and simply let him know I would be doing my very best to teach people about how to exploit this. I have a lot of respect for NB4, he's got an impossible position that is seemingly never ending simply because of a companies refusal to show accountability and communicate. It really does suck as I do know him, have for a year.

But he simply responded that he couldn't respond and unfriended me? I've never made a personal dig, I really do try my very best to focus on what is good in this game. But crap you guys make that so so so hard. And it's a simple lack of conversation, lack of communication. If you don't have the answers Nb4powerup I don't think it's fair to simply cop out there by saying "these things take time"... throw us a bone here, NEXON has to understand at this point they are outright destroying a game?

I like you man, but this is a joke. It's an insult to your intellect and your ability to do what you do. I really do feel bad. I feel bad you felt it necessary to unfriend me, I feel bad you're constantly stuck in between here. But there's got to be a line somewhere crossed for you personally? Where do you say enough and either tell us to get bent or stand up for the community quite frankly you are responsible for?

 

[obsidi]

the glory of this bug is that eventually, ......

every topic will be about them; it's 'domination' to every other problem; like the 'bug tax' of playing the game.

perhaps until the night witch bug is resolved .... we preface every post on every topic with a brief reference to it; perhaps "night witches are the gods of dominations!"

 

[ColdestRage]

Christopher-Outlaws!! You don't understand Community Manager's role at BHG/Nexon
At some point you stop caring, because why should you care when evendevs don't?
Just give copy paste responses like Custommer Support gives them, and wait for your paycheck calmly and patiently.

Night Witches are Another thing BHG Nexoned .

Nexoned
/neksond/
past participle
Past tense: nexoned; verb: shaft
To make a seeming easy to program feature inheritly broken and unlikely to be fixed by the game developer any time soon.

 

[Christopher-Outlaws!!]

I don't want to agree with that. I want to believe that nb4 is a person that actually cares about the community and the game alike. I want to believe that he's the same as me, the same as you. But it pains me to say you may in fact be correct sir, and maybe removing me as a friend is evidence that's where it's come to.

 

[Quovatis]

I share everyone's frustration about the bug, but what do you expect them to say? They've said they are working on it. What more is there to say? They certainly aren't going to do any kind of compensation until the bug is fixed, so it's silly to ask for that now.
