Suggestion: Pause strat for 24 hours during a patch.

[Ganner]

Too many bugs on patchday can RUIN peoples battles on strat.

My suggestion is just pause every action for 24 hours.  Any battles scheduled will happen 24 hours later, all movement, crafting, and gold earning is stopped.

Umm, yes. The NA servers aren't fully updated yet I guess, and Strat battles are EXTREMELY laggy right now. Warping all over the place.

Yeah there were a number of huge battles today that got FUBAR due to the patch probems.  I think I'd have been upset if that had been my 1500 troops on the line.  :-p

100% agree.  Seen so many issues...thankfully I haven't commanded any armies lately.

Last time I did, I got attacked after I entered a village (and started crafting).  Then the website was down for 2 hours before my battle so people couldn't sign up, and I couldn't accept them (and I couldn't even accept people who had signed up before the site was down). Good times.

Wipe it! Burn it with fire!

Dear god, 3 insanely laggy battles today against UIF attackers. Before the attackers spawn in, the servers seem fine, no lag, but the instant they do, it was an absurd amount of lag for the ENTIRE battle, warping everywhere, swinging and releasing five seconds later, killing a guy ten feet away. Please for the love of god use this suggestion.

No kidding.  Not sure if DRZ was item bugged as well there.  If they werent we actually would have won that battle.

I think this might have been an heirloom bug, everything they have is pretty much heirloomed, and a lot of  heirloomed armor does not seem to work.

Also, somebody suggested that, perhaps along side this, there could be some big dev battles posted for people to beta test.  Wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine getting a couple hundred people to stress test the new features quickly.

Bump!
