**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.

[Android] 21.3 Lag, Crashing and Performance Investigation

    Android version 8.0

    Carrier At&t

    Issue:
    I repeatedly have lag right when I am attempting to dash back or evade. Especially if it is when trying to evade a spl 1 attack. I've played for over 3 years, so I'm pretty confident in my evade skills. This issue is mainly occurring on quests including AQ sometimes too. I wasted several revives, potions, and 120 units due to the "perfectly timed" lag.

    If I didn't know any better I'd say it seems like intentional lag so we have to waste resources.

    Device and Model: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4
    Device Operating System: Andrioid version 7.0; MIUI version Global 10.1 (latest updated version)
    Cellular or WiFi: Both (no problem with the connection)
    Game Version Installed: 21.3 duh
    Game Mode: Event quest, alliance quest, alliance war, arena
    Description of the Issue:
    - Loading pages between fight take too much time they vary between 1-3 minutes and sometimes more. The loading time takes more time than the actual fight thus throwing away most of my gaming time only waiting to load. I have lost so many time on my boost for AW or event quest. If I open (spectate) map in AQ and AW, it will also have a very long loading page.
    - The game is lagging so bad in the crystal page. Scrolling down takes so much patience because of the lag. Sometimes I accidentally use units for a crystal that I don't even want because of the lag. Opening crystal takes a long time to load.
    - Arena fights don't have the same issue on the loading pages. However, it lags really bad when I try to choose champs.
    - The lags and long loading page have been bugging me since December. I saw some of the posts regarding this issue in the past game versions, so I don't want to add another one. I install the newest game version with the hope that it has been fixed. However, it turns out they are not.
    - Please do fix the game. It has been 3 months and no progress. I have no intention to get compensation even though I have the right to ask one. I just want my precious gaming time. I lost so much time for only loading page. Please bear in mind that I could not even challenge myself for a legend run because it is impossible with the current status. Please do take this issue very seriously because it concerns the gaming experience.

    Description of the Issue: 

    Just started playing a Map 2 Alliance Quest. I got to She-Hulk and selected Moon Knight to fight her. When the game went to load screen, that 'issues connecting to the network' popup appeared. It was loading and lagging for a few minutes, not doing anything. FINALLY it passed the load screen and as soon as the fight began, I immediately got a fight TIMEOUT. Now my champ is at half health right at the start of the AQ because of the game's persistent lagging issues. I need to be sent some Alliance potions so I can heal my champ.

    Whatever was being tinkered with on the weekend was a step in the right direction. On Saturday, I was actually able to fight using my Galaxy Tab A (Android 7). The fights weren't completely smooth, but they were much improved and the best that they've been since I got the tablet in December. My other tablet (Arc10HD Android 4.4) wouldn't log in, though. It just sat at the loading screen and gave the "Problems connecting to the network" message.

    Last night, I was able to get in with the Android 4.4, but the loading screens were very slow. The fights on the Android 7 were choppier again.

    Kabam, if the device has already been reported, do we keep reporting the same device?

    version 21.3 of the game

    Description: Lag while playing, the animation seems slow, can't parry or block, loses and stuck the attack while attacking the defender, message of connection problem always pop out, the arena takes a long time to load.
    Additionally, I noticed parry or block failing after hitting the enemy with a special attack. I can survive in the arena or heroic or master of the event quest, However, this problem would be KO in UC or Act 5. I will wait for improvement news before trying these more difficult content.

    I have had nothing but issues since probably late summer 2018.

    Crystal opening lag, and when going from one node to the next the loading screen is very slow. Especially in AQ/AW. Getting block/parry issues as well.

    Problem connecting to network even though I have full coverage. The issue has been mainly last few months and never occurs for me during a match, but when the match has ended and loads for the next section. It occurs when opening crystals. In Aq, Aw, leveling up players etc....

    My latest was in AQ this morning. Defeated Sentinal in AQ. Loading the next step, then the usual connecting to network came up. Waited, got disconnected, re connected, went back to game play, Sentinal was back up and my players health was depleated.

    The lag time and disconnect is costing us game time and rewards as this morning the alliance was having issues connecting before running out of time......this is just 1 out of multiple issues relating to connection issues.
    As you can appreciate, patience with that game is wearing thin and I'm only commenting as I love the game and wish to keep playing. But the linger the issue the more frustrating I'm getting and when I'm spending money........well I think you know what I mean!!

    I dont understand why its becoming such a problem for kabam to to fix the android platform. I have been playing sence the beginning and can not recall the game acting up this much .. it would be nice if i could block or evade can yall fix it once and for all .. or do all the android players need to go on strike for a week . Im sure it would get fix at that point. It should never come to this but its getting real old . One time the game is on point the next time i open the game it garbage..

    End of fight victory screen freezing in AQ!

    Heres how it went: Got off work at 6:00, loaded into the game at 6:45 to join AQ, did one fight that went fine, fought The Hood and after 112 hits, I was looking at Ultrons victory pose for about 30 seconds before it gave me 0 points took 50% of my original health (approx.90%) then kicked me back to the map. Heartbreaking.

    Why?:It takes about 3-5 minutes to sign in as it takes as resume amount of time just to to a alliance quest, but most importantly of all the Omega lag when I try to open a crystal it takes about 5-10 minutes just to stop the lag and then when I try to open a crystal it's starts all over again...

    Android is on version 9 so this is the most probable cause. Although even Galaxy S9 with Android Oreo 8.0 is having problems.

    Actually, I have a tablet with Android 4.4 that fights light years better than my other tablet that has Android 7. That makes absolutely no sense in my mind.

    Description of Issue: Parrying & MS UID (kind of scrambled language) . Parrying generally is not working. The screen shows a pop up of parry but there's no parry. (There are no nodes or parry avoiding champs). Parry is bugged in general...most apparent using CAPIW with Synergies where he puts debuffs on champs...there are times when the enemy gets the debuff (like they were parried) yet they were not stunned from the parry...sometimes they only get 1 or 2 of the debuffs...but still not the stun from parry... even when parry is working the timing is all off...sometimes you have to parry really early...othertimes when you do that they pause and clobber you...sometimes it seems like the timing on parry has to be so precise as to be ridiculous... It makes the UC events extremely hard and frustrating (used way more revives than would or should be necessary). Also frustrating in AQ and AW.

    Version 21.3
    Happens on every quest

    It experiences crashing when I use certain champions, like Heimdall or Captain Marvel, but is not limited only to them as it happens with almost every champion I use. It is frustrating because I really desire to clear the quest but ends up crashing and leaving me to fight the same guy over and over again. The fight also never reaches its end, mind you. Also, when I load back in, the champions already have half their health gone as they obviously lost the fight. It has proven to be a big waste of time. Please help.
