**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

    Device and Model: iPhone 6S
    Device Operating System: iOS 11.4.1
    Cellular or WiFi: both, AT&T
    Game Version Installed: 20.1.0
    Game Mode: Event Quests including Danger Room and Uncanny Danger Room. Unable to test in Alliance Quest or Alliance War yet.
    Description of the Issue: after the October update, my phone is overheating in MCOC. Fights definitely make it worse. Cannot battle for more than 5-8 minutes in one session before my phone is hot enough to worry me. For example, in Master level Uncanny Danger Room, my whole team died against Emma Frost, and then I revived one champ twice before finally defeating her. Before the last two fights, I took my phone out of its case and cooled it a bit — if I hadn’t, it would have gotten too hot to hold. I think it’s worse when using WiFi, but still too warm over cellular, and battery is draining quickly. Phone cools down if I’m not in MCOC, even if it’s still in the background.

    My phone is overheating similar to 2-3 patches ago.

    It truly burns up my phone and 30 minutes of game play or more causes my phone to release an insane amount of heat.

    This is far worse for me than even the fabled ‘fire patch’.

    I’m legitimately concerned once again for the state of my phone and of this game.

    Here we go again... deja vu... played 5 fights in AQ and played 2.5 maps in masters level event quest and the lag got so bad the game is unplayable and my phone is so hot it’s difficult to hold onto. All other apps were closed and no other issues with any other app. Even have Game Center completely shut down and all in game chats turned off, as these “fixes” have been reported to make a difference previously. Please address this issue Kabam, please🙏🏻. I thoroughly enjoy your game but it’s difficult to play at a high level with these issues and I will not jeopardize the health of my phone for the game. Thank you for your time.

    Champs randomly become unresponsive or unable to use specials. Occurs most often in Arena but has happened a few times in other modes. Also game will randomly exit a quest or arena matchup and go to the Unit Store.

    Phone is new and has no issues outside of the contest

    It seems perfect that the LAG has been eliminated for the most part, but it is still in the section of crystals and in the sands, the game runs perfect in fights and interface but when getting into those sections it returns to the same as last month. I have an iPhone 8 and it is not possible for that to happen

    Game crash on my iphone6 ios 11.2 several time when starting a match in arena and story mode and event alliances quest

    Let me add my voice to the throng:

    In-Game Name: Mijrahi

    Device iPad Air 2

    Operating System: iOS 12

    WIFI (I don’t game on the cellular network)

    Game Version Installed: 20.1.0 version 861636

    Game Mode: This mostly happens in Arena fighting and occasional in story quest.

    Description: The game will be running just fine for a couple of hours and then will start to lag, It takes a long time to load fights and will sometimes pause briefly on the opening fight animation. But the longer I play then the fight animation will totally stop for several minutes and then start up again. Sometimes after the fight ends the screen will just jump to black, like the game or the device has reset, and them come back for the end animation and next fight selection.

    infrequently the game locks up like this and doesn't unlock forcing an app and sometimes even a device reset

    Also after playing for more than an hour my device will become much warmer while operating than it does with any other app that I run long term.

    I'm sure I don't have to mention how completely annoying this is, but I will.

    Game is acting way weird logged in to look at war and phone screen went super hot and flashed. I thought this was fixed. Was on 20 seconds! iPhone 7+ all update up to date. Game was fine until a few days ago. Please tell me an emergency maintenance is coming. I can’t afford to buy new phones every time you melt one.

    is your phone still overheating? Cuz mine is. I even got a new battery. Still over heating. It heats up faster during arena but I gets over heated during regular questing as well. iPhone 6s
  • danielmathdanielmath Posts: 4,041 ★★★★★
    ya old phones don't do very well, gets worse each update as graphics and stuff improves
  • PyrocixPyrocix Posts: 76
    You can shout "old phone" from the roof tops but I didn't get the heating up issues from the last patch nearly as bad as this. Not like all the posts I was reading but now it over heats so quickly that I Have to go freezer my phone for 4 minutes to cool it down again before I can plug it back in a continue playing. (cold kills batteries). My phone didn't start over heating until kabam updated AQ.

    Is anyone aware of issues with iphone 7+? I just upgraded from SE to 7+ and the game has been unplayable. Blocks drop, attack fails, dash fails, dexterity fails, block fails, and parry is nonexistent. Is this something specific to my phone? Or, did these issue just happen to coincide with my phone change? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    New update yesterday and I cant evade reliably now, timings out, if I evade twice they can hit me in between swipes and when I swipe it keeps parrying them, latest iOS and iPhone se, especially in the lab it’s way off, anybody else having this issue?
  • Speeds80Speeds80 Posts: 2,008 ★★★★

    Glitches are hero will parry when I swipe back to dexterity or stand there. Happens more so against hero’s with Multiple buffs and 99% against Sentinels. Happens in all aspects of the game.

    After about 30 mins of continuous play, the game will crash. Usually it’s in the fight screen but it has happened when loading a frame. Phone is pretty hot at this point but not like the July update. When I log back in, there’s noticeable choppiness and increased load times. There are even moments during fights where the game freezes for a second before champions make contact and it happens once per fight.

    The lag is def back, it got better a couple months ago but now it's back with a vengeance specially when dorammamu or Mephisto aura is on the screen, it's horrible. RO53TT1 in game name
    Playing on a ipad mini 2 that's only about 9 months old.
