Papa Stalin Posted:

My visit history shows Text-Based Warriors Guild in my forum visits, but it Doesnt count as streak because I didnt pwn it. So can I pwn it for streak, or will it reset my streak?

Your streak’s already reset, it just won’t show until you pwn something new. I hope you filed a bug report Log in to see images!

Totoro Posted:

The new forum that we’re talking about in this thread. I sent in a bug report last night. Do I need to submit a new one?

No, you don’t need a new one, but if you’re still in it, then bail out and try again.

No, I got it.

For others, if you haven’t already, please submit a bug report about lost visits. I’ll get the people that have already posted here.

If that’s the only way to get out of the forum, okay, but I’ve already attacked it once (my toolbar shows that my strongest attack will refresh in one turn), so if I bail, that will reset my streak. So I just want to make sure that’s the only thing I can do before I actually do it.

Sorry, guys. There was a problem with forumbuildr this week.

Unfortunately I can’t fix the streaks this time, but if you’ve been affected I’ll give you an extra four forum visits after I make sure next week’s build doesn’t have the same problem!

Insufficient logging, or your method of determining streaks isn’t robust enough? You could record where each streak starts incase of problems, so that streaks can then be repaired. 4 visits might be enough compensation for some, but that still represents 4 weeks of wasted effort for others.

Your streak is already broken. So it won’t hurt to do that.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Many players are going to see up to a month of planning go up in smoke and you’re not even going to TRY to fix it?

I was trying to be less blunt than usual, but this ^

Of course it wouldn’t be so severe if pistachio wasn’t so overly powerful – a problem that we are fully aware has been growing for months now, and has been ignored in all that time.

I REALLY MISS INCIT, LOL

Didn’t I read something about there also being a problem with the forum before this one? The forum for the blind? I avoided it until now, because I thought there would be problems if I tried it.

Has that one been fixed?

I still haven’t had visits refunded.

Do I still need to submit a bug report even though space said she’d get the ones who posted in the thread?

I got them.

I went through all the reports about the forum and checked accounts to verify how many visits were lost to the new forum. Log in to see images!

So, should I be getting an extra 3 visits, for a total of 15? I had 12 visits yesterday when I started to use mine and ran one, got stuck in the middle of the new forum, and then lost two due to rollover.

I’m not understanding your math here. You lost one actual visit due directly to the forum, right? You would be getting that one visit plus the four extras for a total of 5. I didn’t realize you lost two due to still being stuck during rollover, but I recall seeing times that matched that possibility so I’ll add a note to ET about that special cirgreat timesstance, but that’s still a total of 7, not 15. Am I missing something?

Yeah, this didn’t have an impact on me, but man. Is it really horribly hard to fix lost streaks? A potential 25 days worth of visit planning is way beyond frustrating. A streak broken anywhere in the final 20 or so forums is likely going to cost Domination medals. Log in to see images!

Space I think Totoro means that pre-bug they had 10 visits. Due to being stuck in forum, they couldn’t burn the extra 2, so at rollover they only got 2. They want to be at a total of 15, not get 15 extra. Log in to see images!

I’m not saying that I lost 15 visits. I’m saying that I have 12 visits now and should have a total of 15 because I did successfully use one visit (out of my 12) yesterday.
