Parry Input Issue - Android Devices [Merged Threads]

With the new update, the parry issue is worse. Am on android. It is so bad that every fight has a problem

Comments

Hi folks, your concerns have certainly been noted. Please allow the team some more time to consider the solutions and options. We will let you know when we have any updates. Thank you.

While I respect the response, wasn't the "solution" supposedly the test y'all said was being tested in March?
The previous update ran fine.
This one is broken.
I know I'm not a developer, but the best thing y'all can do is find a back up of the previous version and check code and compare this version to the previous version.
Then do a bit of testing by manually adding each change from the new update to the previous version to cross off on the list what broke the controls.

Hi @Kabam Boo, for the first look it could be a kind of delay for every move, not only for Block. I would say it looks like +30 ms for every movement. Also, I suppose all of as can see the same delay in a Menu, just try to scroll something. Battle video is not so obvious due to personal timing parry.

Hi folks, if you don't mind, we'd like to get some clarification on something.

When you press for Block, would you say that the timing of the block and when you press is off? Or, is it that when you press for Block, the Champion does not Block at all?

As always, any videos of these occurrences would be very helpful to the team! Thanks in advance!

It doesn't block at all when trying to parry.

Greetings Summoners,

Due to increased reports of new input issues from Summoners on Android devices on v33.3, we are taking some steps to address how this affects Alliance War seasons, as well as other content.

We are currently preparing a hotfix to address this issue for Android devices, and aim to have this out to all players as early as tomorrow. Because we are moving to address this as quickly as possible and due to the hard to reproduce nature of the issue and how it’s based on “feel”, we cannot be 100% certain it will address the issue in all instances but are feeling quite confident in the fix we have been testing.

We will be relying on player feedback and data after the release of the Hotfix to determine what actions need to be taken, and while we are not cancelling the Alliance War Season right now, we will be assessing the situation for the 24 hours following the release and will make the call on whether to cancel the season or not shortly after Attack Phase has commenced.

Regardless of if the Season is cancelled or not, in addition to the rewards for the season, Alliances will receive a compensation package based on their Alliance War Seasons Tier.

You can expect the rewards for the tier you place in to be paid out on the regular pay-out date, with the additional compensation to follow separately through an in-game message at a later date. Summoners will not have to remain in their current Alliance to receive the Compensation but must remain in their Alliance for regular Alliance War Season Rewards.

We urge all Summoners to update to the hotfix version as soon as it is available. If you still encounter issues after updating, please let us know either by sending a ticket to our support team describing the issue, or posting in the Bugs and Known issues section of the forums, where you will find a thread dedicated to collecting this information.

Thank you all for your patience as we work to address these issues.

Thank you Miike for hearing our cries. When considering what to do regarding war season, please take into consideration the other ongoing issue regarding allies being unlisted. Kabam Boo has acknowledged the matter, requesting further information from the players.
I am attaching a link to this thread for easier reference. I'm confident you and the team will address and resolve the matter to everyone's satisfaction. Good evening.

Yes this is quite annoying. Guess this is what the iOS folks have been complaining about. Lol. Alliance War was a disaster today.

Thanks @Kabam Miike for the update. Hope for the best. Fixings issue which can't reproduce on your side is scary. Hope you guys ll put more logs to collect data.

I also have an iPhone I use for playing at times.

While similar in that it is most pronounced in Parry and Dex, this is very much a different issue.

IPhones are seeing what most who use Androids have had to deal with for a long time and take as par for the course.

This is way beyond what iPhones are seeing.

I got combo broken mid combo twice against map 5 mini. I've had it happen in arena and even did it to the ai once messing around. Also, I was using Elsa and after her evade, the ai dashed in and did a combo on me before I could react. I also parried the ai once while I was getting combo'd. So combos are not stringing together right with shortened recovery time on top of parry and evade.

The ai seems to be dropping block perfectly, when trying to hit into their block (like you do with Thing) and throwing specials right as you go to hit into the block.

Maybe it just me, but other than the bugs, the game does feel better otherwise for some reason.

My issue is it need to block well in advance to not get hit. Also looks like the refresh rate is very low (choppy game play), but I have it at high. The choppy play pretty much goes away when I record prior to the fight but the input problem is very much still there.

It is not based on "feel" it is laggy/choppy in the screen and not registering until way late. But hopefully it'll get fixed. Thanks.

I started getting parry issue again after the new update. It is worst. Does any one else seeing parry issue after recent update?

Coppin

No, we got no idea what u r talking about

bazingamp

Noticed there is another thread about same.

Shakti4all

Nowhere close to what I expected. I guess beggars can't be choosers.
It is what it is.
Had this been issues with Apple, it's dealt with in a far better way

MSRDLD

Sadly we must have matched with an iOS team.

Dr. Zola

Edit: Wait—scratch that. Apparently our iOS devices affected as well. Working on a blocking optional AW right in the crunch part of the season…

The game has been brutal for me for months (iPhone XR). The game frequently will stop in the middle of the fight and then restart after several seconds have passed. This has been going on for me for months. Parry, dexterity, blocks, all trash.

And then it came for Android users 🤣

AlexDsD

Ojalá después de este mantenimiento se arregle algo para estar jugando mejor ya que es un problema muy feo !! Estar así

Yes I’m on an iPhone and my other account I made 6 months ago is on an android. Both have Margot issues with parry. I really noticed the parry issue get worse with the neatest update. It seem like a good majority of the time when go to parry they just stand and take beating or dash forward right into an intercept. There much more issue at hand tho. All together the control inputs are just off. And the lag has gotten worse over all as well. So your not alone. I think a good majority of the community is seeing the issues now. Before it was mainly iPhone uses. Now it android to. So hopefully they get it fix for BOTH SOON!

Parry Input Issue - Android Devices

Virendra

Seeing these issues, i decided to not update my game. Everything was working fine yesterday & today.

But after this 'Emergency Maintenance', I've observed failed inputs in arena. Champions stay still in the middle of the combo. Dash back/in for dex or attack doesn't work. It seems both sides of the screen just stops getting tap or swipe inputs.

Don't let this thread die or go down!
Kabam wants exactly that to happen

Considering they're gathering information and working on putting a Hotfix out, this is simply not the case.

They "gather" information for each and every issue but on how many do they sincerely act upon?

They act on all the issues they gather information on. Acting on it is not the same as being able to fix it. If there was an action that could be taken for that, they would take it. It's not as if they're saying, "We see the problem. We know how to fix it. The hell with it.".

SHAYU

Yep, it's like since the latest update parry and block just doesn't work half the time. I can't tell if the timings have changed slightly, or if the controls just aren't reacting....
