Merged: AQ is not starting.

I have pre arranged AQ but it didn't start. The timer is at 15 min. When it reaches 0, the timer of 15 min starts again. I have tried restarting the game. Even the other alliance members have restarted their game.

Seriously, it was much more smooth when we were able to login and start it whenever the previous day ended

You're starting with 2 extra energy though.
This new setup is much better imo. Nothing to care once you set it up, you can see the Map a day in advance and there is no rush for an officer to get on to start AQ since it technically should auto start.

Aaaaaaaaaand the 15min timer resets

bdawg923

Yep it's broken again. I was able to join, alliance mates aren't, and now I'm seeing a timer again, after clearing a node in aq

Danemo666

Same here, joined and now it's gone 🤷

Yeah it ends up being a 30 minute timer basically

Yeah it ends up being a 30 minute timer basically

So we're gonna lose half an hour every day?

Once again, was kicked out and the timer restarts for day two.

Timer resets again. Seems like it’ll be late an additional 15 minutes each day

KnightZero

Yeah happened again.

That's not a terrible thing. We also gained 2 energy at the start of each AQ, which is 1h30m of energy. So each day we've gained 1h more than previous.

Seems to be that way. At least we start with 6 energy, where I live it's not too bad since it's not too late in the evening. But can imagine this must have a big effect on some timezones

AQ does not start automatically.

It doesn’t begin until someone enters it. This is why sometimes you’ll see a non-officer “start” it.

They then can play.

Then it starts a 15 minute timer for everyone else before they can enter.

Can't join day 2 of AQ. Timer keeps resetting.
Surprised? I'm not. Way to test run Kabam.

Nice. Soon they'll want us to do the rain dance to get in lol

Whats deal with aq day 2 started and i joined but for other members timer still showing for them so they cant join, how can yous take week of aq and still not get it right wasn't that purpose so there wouldn't be issues

Depends which side of the world you're sitting in. I've got players in my alli staying up to get their first set of moves down before calling it a night. Having to wait 30mins+ per day just kills movement when it's the early hours for players from Asia nearby

Dontsellthem

Can’t get in now

Well now they can make 2 extra moves for a trade off of waiting an unintended extra 15 minutes wait.

My Alliancemate was able to join on the first Start Timer, but then when he had to restart the game it brought the Start Timer back...

yeah, because staying up until 2am to help your alliance, and then having to wait a further 30 mins is pretty much daft and counter productive if they cant stay up. Jheez

Okay it happened again with the timer resetting for AQ after it counts down. Is this going to get fixed and addressed or is this how AQ we continue going forward? The reason I ask is I am the Leader of a US based Alliance but I have about 10+ members that are from GMT+5 and GMT+8 timezones so when AQ begins "ON TIME!" It's midnight or after 1am there for them. This hurts mixed Alliances like mine. A Straight answer would be most appreciative.

1st person to Start your AQ apparently gets to STAY in the AQ, and do their nodes.
Even though for rest of Ally, the 2nd round of 15 Minute Countdown starts and are locked out.

Once 2nd countdown ends (so 30 min total), saw the original person was STILL INSIDE his BG, nodes still completed, and chat still saying they had started it 15 minutes earlier.

So just rest of Ally was shut out for extra 15 minutes.

———
Still unsure what START BUTTON that initial person must be seeing and pressing to begin and enter AQ.
Does someone have a screenshot, does it actually say START ? Or is it just that they are first person to press CONTINUE and then Join their BG ?

I don't understand how we had to take time off from AQ so you could get it implemented correctly but somehow managed to fail to do so and then with weeks or even months of advance planning decided to start all these changes on the weekend when you won't be staffed to respond to the issues.

Hello, using auto-start in aq we have lost 15 minutes. It started at 21:15 and ended ar 21 today....

That is how it is supposed to work. The extra delay in start time is a bug of course but the 23 hour 45 minute maximum play time is intended. They are ending everyone's daily AQ 15 minutes before the next one is supposed to start up.

See that really sucks, if this Simple Automated System means we'll lose 15 Minutes of AQ everytime then I'd prefer the Manual Start... But I know a lot of Leaders/Officers are in Late Timezones or Work during AQ Start would really appreciate the Automation, and we can't ask for the Option to have Automated Or Manual because then the people who use Manual would have an Unfair Advantage of 15 Extra Minutes...

What makes the Automated System take 15 Minutes though? Cause that's a Long Time for what, manually, took like 8 Button Clicks and 30 seconds at most.

Still no update. Believe me when day 3 AQ delays again by 15 min, everyone will start posting here...
Come on guys... Any updates? @Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit
