Bug Report: Site Ownership Reset After Phase Change

[DarkMyth.]

I want to report a bug that has been happening with the new sites system. It occurs when a site is drained to very low HP (for example, under 1%)

In the attached screenshot, a DV site was drained down to 160 HP. When the attacking clan continued draining in the next phase, instead of capturing the site, it immediately went back to DV ownership. This forces players to drain the site all over again from full HP

Why this is a problem:

• It wastes players’ time, especially in wars when a clan might spend minutes draining a site only for ownership to reset
• It makes site battles unfair, because the defending clan keeps ownership even when attackers have effectively done all the work

Expected behavior:
When a site is drained in the new phase, it should transfer ownership to the clan that actually drained it, not reset back to the previous owner

How many times did this happen in succession?

If you're trying to replicate it, it will likely succeed every time. This also applies to gates that are already claimed by clans.
For example, if Clan A owns a gate and Clan B drains it to 0%, then drains it again in the next phase, the gate gets reset to 100% and is still owned by Clan A. I'm not sure if the gate level also remains the same.

Not able to reproduce it. On the inital post it might have happend that DV relaimed that building before the a clan could drain it on the next conflict. So that would be regular behaivor

but in order for DV to reclaim building that was already DV would there not have to be few phase transitions before anyone attempts to drain it/remove it from DV?

Wasn't it a DV gate already? How can DV (re)claim a gate they already own.

That's not the point. In the screenshots it only happened as I could use DV as an example, but even if it wasn't DV but any clan, the bug would still happen the same and the site will go back to the clan which was already holding it completely full HP again.

And no what you're saying is wrong, DV released the site and the clan drained it until 160 HP (no time to finish before the phase was over) and next phase they attacked to take the site and it went back to DV, which is the bug I'm talking about. If any site was 1 hit away from being reclaimed, it's going back to whatever was already holding it

Whenever there's a same situation with a site, the same bug is happening, just nobody has mentioned it until now

 

[Alewx]

DV can claim a site it previously held, that is per se not a bug it is just the thing with random.
But about the restored HP of the building that is something we couldn't reproduce on our own.

 

[Luka Patajac]

Nobody said DV claiming their own site by itself is a bug but doing so if specific amount of HP is left on site when protection phase starts in next phase no matter whom drains it since HP is so low DV will automatically claim it instead of it going to clan that drained it.

At least that's what I see from what was written here:

Site HP left on 100ish or below before it can be claimed->next attack phase starts->someone drains it->DV takes it and restores full HP

Now if site was previously held by DV for couple of phases and someone decided to drain but failed before attack phase finished and DV immediately took it back because it was that way for few phases prior that is normal DV behavior tbh.(by immediately i mean next attack phase starts->Its seen as green and on map its on "retaken mode")

 

[Highway]

we could not find the issue and it was not reproducable. When it happens again when 2 clans are involved please write here which map ,building, server and time it happened. So we can check the logs

happend on eu2 too

u misunderstood the entire thing, it's not even specifically dv related, i used dv as an example only because it happened with a site which was white at that time

clan A was holding liggett, and clan B drained liggett down to 0-1% but phase ended, next phase began and they attacked again (it still has 0-1% of its health left) once they finished draining it completely the site was reclaimed by clan A again, and on the next phase when the site is vulnerable again it'll have 100% of health back, and clan B will have to drain it all over again like they did nothing in the first place

that's not "normal dv behavior"

 

[Luka Patajac]

Ah so as long as HP is low enough and it stays that way until next vulnerable time if someone drains site it goes back to previous owner and to full HP when next vulnerable phase begins?

@Highway today this happened again in Eu1 at 10:01 server time.

Beloved and Hated owned Watkins, the phase started and we reclaimed it and now it's again owned by Beloved and Hated instead of Dxrk Rise. The gate is showing Recently claimed with 0% hp.

Beloved and Hated owned Watkins, the phase started and we reclaimed it

The phase had 12 hp left after the last phase, and was reclaimed around a minute into the current phase.

Edit: The phase after the gate is 100% hp and at 400% yield still.

 

[V01D]

For your information, this is how it looks like after taking the gate. Recently claimed, 50% yield, 100% hp level 1.
The picture of the Beloved and Hated clan still had 400% yield and 0% hp but was in fact also recently claimed.

Great this was very helpfull in tracking down the issue. Its a rare timing issue for last minute overtakes that the state switch did not happen in the right conflict phase. Will be fixed in the next DS update

I could see that the attack was not completed with 180HP left and then the building was set into protected state without an owner. After the next conflict started did you directly tried to overtake the site or was it instantly reclaimed again?

 

[Highway]

ok found the issue. Next update should resolve this finally

 

[NazzaFire]

Would be possible to allow PvP between friends for players that are using protection pvp in next update? and any upcoming dev shack?

Totally unrelated to this thread but mkay whats stopping people that might have their enemies on fl to abuse that if it was actually allowed to happen?

 

[Highway]

You can duel in dinoville with friends regardless of the conflict state. Back to topic now

 

[DarkMyth.]

Bug resolved but after claiming a site you can't upgrade its level even during protection phase?

Thanks for reporting it. True the previous fix seems to caused that the protected state is only reached after a the next conflict has been succesfully defended. We prepared a fix for this.

um shouldnt have dv-taken-from-clan phase be gone in protec phase part?

Not sure what you mean. DV takes sites 5 seconds before the conflict starts. (Vulnerable phase)
