Defender Preview In Alliance War Only When Joined Now?

I know I'm not losing my mind but I used to be able to preview the defenders on the map without actually joining the war. But the option is not available until you actually join the war now.

What's up with that?

Yeah, you used to be able to preview it before joining. Hasn't been working since the 2nd war this season.

I have not had any issues, but it could be that we’re just doing something different. I have heard about the spectate issue, but spectate and preview are two different things. Once you hit join you can hit the preview button prior to locking in your team and, from my experience with each ear this season, that function is working just fine. You technically haven’t joined until your team is locked in, so hit join then preview and you should be fine.

Not talking about previewing what champs are where on the map (that's not what they mean).
It's actually trying to check out their Stats, etc, in the Node Panel on right side of screen when you click on one of the node champs on map.

Only the Node Buffs are visible, but the Champ Stats half of that right side is EMPTY, until you actually fully join with your attackers.

It isn't just war. The same problem exists in AQ and for some reason, at least on map 5, certain of the 3 rotating enemy types are hidden as question marks again until you join (map 6 seems to show all the enemies I think). They seem to have broken it with the new update I think.

A little insight?

Yes exactly. I can look at who's place just fine.

Hey all, this is a bug and is fixed in the next month's build. Was an unfortunate side effect of an improvement to the screen but it didn't properly handle the AQ/AW preview state. Sorry for the inconvenience, it definitely has bothered me too.

Thanks for the response on this. While we may have your attention can I ask about whether anyone is going to fix the dialogue skip button in quests seeming to have a smaller area than it did before and also whether anyone can fix the scrambled awakening gem/signature stone tab? That tab used to get the arrangement scrambled every now and then but it has been messed up now for months. If you don't know what I am talking about I can provide pictures but I imagine it is the same for everyone.

Also, just for clarification, does the fix cover unhiding the ? enemies in AQ so all of them are visible again or is it only so we can see the details in the defender tab but the ?'s will remain until another fix is done for that?

For context, we made a change that allows the user to see all possible defenders in preview mode when there is some randomness there(It used to just show one sort of at random). This new method didn't handle the AQ/AW side and so the fix is just to make AQ and AW work as it used to before this release.

For the dialogue skip button being too small, I know I fixed that recently, so I believe it should be coming in next month's build(the tap area was incorrectly sized down to be just the size of the text which understandably is a bit small.).

Appreciate the reply! 👍

Thanks for working on these things and for the communication.

"Fixed an issue with the defender tab of the buff node info screen being disabled while spectating/previewing AQ and AW"

this is still not fixed with the May update.

Buenri

@Kabam Miike the bug is still worse. We cannot see defenders singularity until joining the group in AW.
And even it's not posible to see who of our colleagues are attacking in each path, not in AW nor AQ

Deacon

Yeah it's still not fixed .. was never fixed to begin with when it was supposed to be. Not to mention, the different BG preview bug for individual attackers on both sides.

pseudosane

I'll bring it to the team

Deacon

FYI, i can confirm that this has now been fixed as of today's war. I can see the defender information now.
