Meet the Team

Decimal Point Jeff

Jeff runs all our in game math related issues. He failed grade 4 math 8 times, but he brings donuts so we keep him around.

Captain Ahab

No one better to track the whales, Ahab's job is to find whales and squeeze them for all they have.

Col. Schultz

Col Schultz (Hogan's Heroes fame) is famous for his ability to overlook what is going on in front of him. While we don't let him handle anything that migth benefit players he is in charge of all bugs that negatively impact gameplay.

Mojo

Had great success in the comics by creating an arena and torturing people by forcing them to battle in it, we let him bring that talent to our game.

Incident New game update and... can't launch raid battles
Assigned to: Schultz
Effects
There is now a sim button. But it doesnt work, nor does playing raids normally.
Assigned Team Members Notes
The testing crew got covid, we outsourced to a team of highly trained lab mice. In retrospect this was a terrible idea, but it was cheaper so we may stay with this new team
Resolution
Fixed relatively quickly

Incident Sent out a survey link to ask people how they feel about the game
Assigned to: Schultz
Effects
Survey link was bugged and didn't work

Incident Whacky Blitz Scores
Assigned to: Jeff
Effects
Finish the blitz and give everyone the wrong scores, got 30 million? Let's make it 21!
Assigned Team Members Notes
Bad blitz scores noted and logged. Decimal Point Jeff is in charge of numbers, and he recorded them accurately. Unfortunately he did so using the wrong time zone, so the scores are a few hours out of date... He's on it, we think. It's 10am right now in his time zone so he should be getting hard to work right now. However he sometimes messes up AM and PM so he might be getting ready for bed.
Resolution
8 Hours later Blitz scores restored and rewards out, my new calculator arrived from Amazon!

Incident Late Season Rewards
Assigned to: Jeff
Effects
Raiding postponed for player transfer, European players miss launches, Zone 1 alliances with incoming transfers unable to set war defence before cool down.
Assigned Team Members Notes
Why do seasons end on Sunday? That's my hungover day. I think I remember a conversation with Ahab last night after some whiskey involving a raid battle pass where they have to pay for season rewards...
Resolution
Rewards out, 12 hours late. My bad, I get AM's and PM's mixed up sometimes - Jeff
ps. They where out within 24 hours, so thats what we claim. If it messed up your war, raids or you didn't get those rewards that's your fault.

Incident Sold orbs that weren't Available
Assigned to: Ahab
Effects
Valiant credit offer sold, but orbs not in store
Assigned Team Members Notes
We got the money... they got the valiant credits. Now they want orbs to open as well?
Resolution
Fine, orbs back in store... for now.

Incident Delayed Milestone Launch
Assigned to: Ahab
Effects
VCore spending milestone started late, many players spent cores that didn't count
Assigned Team Members Notes
This was a core spending event, not a player getting stuff event. That was a bonus, spend your cores and be thankful for it, expecting stuff in return for a cultural even on giving? That's just selfish.
Resolution
Fine, have your credits 2 days later  

Date: Feb 21, 2021

Incident Lunar Orbs Missing
Assigned to: Ahab
Effects
Open non-existant orbs to hit milestones

Incident Wanted to sell Lunar credits, sold valiant
Assigned to: Jeff
Effects
1700 valiant currency instead of Lunar. Offer gets bought by some people then taken down fast. Lunar credits not very useful, 250 Ghost or Cull shards was.
Assigned Team Members Notes
I guess I should have looked up the ID on the credits... but my Bingo machine is so much more fun.
Resolution
Everyone gets to buy it later over 3 days (after an attempt to sell Cull at full price)

Scopely - Please understand you have a community that really enjoys this game. Most mobile games would do anything for a community this invested and passionate about their game. Many of us have been playing for more then 2 years. It's helped keep us sane through pandemic lockdowns and let us build alliances that have played together for years.

So when we do things like this it's not because we hate the game, quite the opposite. But we hate seeing it fall into disarray and lose the pieces we enjoyed. We don't need more and more characters that make the ones we love obsolete and add more bugs. We need fun, challenging and engaging content. Not content that is just pay to win. We need to feel progress, not just the grind. We definetly don't need content that is just auto-play and no incentive to even win, nevermind build characters to improve at.

Please, bring back fun. People spend money when they are having fun.
