Can't anyone in this company do anything right? How many months going on years does it take to get people to actually do their job right.
they're in year 7 of raking in the dough, so they've done their job for their parent company.
This all is far more entertaining than the actual game at this point.
Saddest thing is the only reason they're still around is because of us and our faith that one day it may get better. Fact is it's only ever gonna get worse. Been proven now month after month that it's never going to work right again.
Not sure if the intention was to solve the parrying issue in this Release, but is totally the opposite.. was this code change really tested? Are you going to cancel this war?
The game/animation performance is slower, freezing sometimes.. blocking attacks is ignored, even launching a fight can fail in AW & AQ.. please stop adding features without fix the key problems in the game first (receiving compensation awards is pointless if the game is still broken)
@Kabam Miike Doesn't seem like this is an isolated issue.
There's nothing in the release notes about intended changes to the inputs in this release, but it seems that several of us who have been unaffected are now having a lot of issues.
Could you check with the team to see if something slipped in that could be causing this? ....and ripped out in a hot fix?
There's never anything in the release notes about input changes. It's just a effect of them advancing the game. Some piece of software they use got updated somewhere and is now effecting people who weren't previously before. I.E.. a bug. It's not an easy fix like you're making it seem.
They responded they are looking into it. That’s all will happen. No more responses hoping this thread will die out. Just like others over the last 8 months.
They're already looking into it. We're not going to know anything right this second. Plus, it's not effecting everyone so they can't just stop.it because it's effecting some. Let them get some info. We'll know more in the morning. None of those mods are even on right now, tagging them is pointless.
Thanks for the answers! For those of you who are saying that this is not a timing issue and that Block isn't working at all, can you please hold Block for 1 second or longer and then confirm whether Block comes up? Even if it's late/timing is off, we'd just like to know that Block does actually come up eventually.
Why the heck doesn’t Kabam test issues? this is nuts.
There's an issue, and they're looking into it. I get that frustrations are paramount, but there's no use in dog piling on people and arguing about testing. If it was preventable before it was released, they wouldn't have released it. As much as people are frustrated, we're just going to have to wait for them to look into it.
There is this issue where game lag or there is some difference in frame rate for more than six months but there issue is solved by restarting the game or restarting my phone but after the latest version (33.3) update these issues had become permanent even restarting the app or phone are not solving these issue. I have to participate in war with these issues and have to give many kills thanks to these issues i can't play a proper game please end this war as soon as possible and from what I have seen these issues are there in most of the Android devices and i use OnePlus 8pro . And yes i also withdrawn from beta features because of this lag issue or frame rate issue or glitch i don't know what it's called but the game has died, parry not working well, dex not working well, something the attacker won't block and sometimes the attacker do heavy instead of light attack please fix this game and end the war as soon as possible because many people do play game in Android phone too

I agree, What's done is done but for a game that's treading on top 50 atleast there should be robust testing.
I was trying to give some constructive feedback to improve future rollout but I guess It does not work that way.
The problem is, it's not as simple as in-house testing. The game exists simultaneously between our devices (which can vary), their end, and their partners' servers. It's basically a live mesh. I'm not saying people don't have the right to ask for quality control. I'm simply saying testing isn't always enough. It would be a fair assessment if the game itself was completely stored on our devices, and it was a poorly-executed product. In this case, there are more variables than that.
At this juncture they should do parallel testing between old version and new version in test environment.
Lol did you Google a bunch of coding verbage?
Take a course it will more useful use of your time.
I don't need to, I work programmers daily. Its quite obvious you don't.
I have worked on Banking solutions and if we get bugs like this we are screwed, even a minor bug is tested out with scenario testing.
This bug was so huge the update should never had been rolled out.
I am not going to teach you more , better google software testing you may know a thing or two.
This isn't banking software. It's not even close to being the same thing. Your software is deployed on the same types of devices, PCs. You don't have a anything near what Kabam has in terms of software or hardware.
Just like with my job, I can't compare what software we work on to what Kabam does. I can understand where they are coming from though.
And you wouldn't be screwed because, like my job, banking has back methods if software goes down. You're just trying to be dramatic.
Let me know when you get some experience with Unity or anything much closer to working on mobile games.
The simplest gesture would be to Cancel WAR season as of last war and then postpone AQ starting tomorrow. You will save aggravation of millions of players - not to mention you are yet to acknowledge the issue via in-game message.
My teammates(android) heavily affected due to this update. Too many KO, and unnecessarily loosing against weak team. Half of my teammates declared not playing anymore AW. Something need to be done urgently
This is not helpful but I took out the old and dusted iphone 7 without the latest patch and managed to take down the AW boss.
I am hoping in the next few days when the app force an update, this old work horse can still run the course. For the Android phone, it will be auto-fight only.

1. Banking software is some of the worst enterprise software out there. And I’m not even talking about Fiserv or Diebold, I’m talking about the home grown stuff. I mean, it’s not hospital enterprise software, but then again nothing is that much of a train wreck.
2. Pretty much everything you’ve ever worked on has probably been modularized monolithic software. That’s where stuff like unit testing and integration testing can sometimes make sense. In game development (for this kind of game) this generally has no application, because there are no units and there is minimal integration.
There’s a lot of different software development models and expertise on one doesn’t translate to the others. Games like this are developed with non-abstracted layering. No one can just transplant their modules from one engine to another, nor can they reasonably test different modules without the others. When you ignore the kind of development or aren’t even aware of it, you get weird mismatched suggestions. Your suggestions are comparable to someone saying the developers should use a better inheritance model for champions. No matter how many years of C++ programming someone has, that suggestion would be no less weird. It might make sense if champions were C++ objects or classes, but they aren’t and nobody would make them that way (because that would break the development model everyone uses).
I've rebooted my phone several times and is continuously repeatable in AW and Arena so far since I updated my Samsung phone. Haven't tried quest yet. It isn't possible to parry champs that will lunge in.
Having same android issue listed here in regular content (RoL), lunar side event and in AW (only content I've tried) since most recent auto update. Parry not working and blocks failing. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. Several alliance mates also having issues.
Just updated the game & can't parry. Lost in war. Then I went to winter soldier & realised some fights you can parry normally & in some fights it's just not registering. Android
The mechanic of BLOCK, PARRY and EVADE doesn`t exist in game anymore! After update can`t even block attacks!!!!!! I can`t defeat simple bot in AW. It`s now impossible to evade Guil2099 1 sp. The game is completely broken for me. Android 12.5. Xiaomi 9T pro.

I tried to show the best I can. About a second delay when pressing block or dex before it works.
As a user, I would prefer a content delay instead of this not- functional release ...

Latest software version.
Parry and block input are almost unresponsive.
Maybe 3 out of 10 parries work. Similar
frequency for block.
This is across all areas of the game i.e. story quest, event quest, arena etc.
Please fix.
Please also playtest on at least the popular devices before release. This is very frustrating and annoying.
