    What is going on with the servers? Can't login since yesterday night (eu)

    Love the game, was looking for a game like this (I don't like CoC)

    Me too.

    I like the art style and every troop can assign different attack target.

    But I cannot play it now.

    Works for me now. Had a pop-up that they're working on a fix, after that it loaded. No progress lost on my end.

    Damn shame.

    So many companies screw this up when they launch.

    I'm sure the majority of silent users just delete the app and forget about it.

    I got back in the game briefly, but the servers are an absolute damn mess. Subatomic haven't run a server-based game before, as far as I know, and it shows. This will kill anyone's enthusiasm for the game if it's not brought under control pretty fast. It's completely unplayable right now.

    I agree with you but, lets be patient and give them a chance to correct that issue. With every update they are bringing lots of stuff and they always listens and answers if you want to send a pm from facebook

    I agree with Palanthian... first impressions, last impressions. I'll be patient myself, but to the avg consumer, this is terribad and they won't be bothered. Such a shame cuz I see potential.

    Edit: as others have reported, don't redeem chests, you'll lose the spoils. Additionally, we get 5 chances to attack other players before refilling over time. I lost signal after attempting and it left me with 4/5 attacks. Very frustrating although by the time you can play again you refill everything anyways...no fear of base being attacked since most can't play.

    Every time I start up the game it says it's having connectivity issues, and everything is ok with my wifi, I hope they get this fixed pretty quickly, I'm loving the game so far

    The game is definitely a fun spin on the COC model.

    I just worry they blew whatever chance they had with a botched release. People aren't really forgiving when an app appears to just not work. They just delete and forget about it... there goes A good chunk of the player base you need to make the game a longer term success.

    I'm always blown away how companies don't make sure they have extra server infrastructure/stress test to better mitigate the initial surge. You want to hang on to as many initial players as possible.

    That being said I'm willing to hold out as it's been fun so far.

    Always online game is not work for some games.
    I just want a RTS game with offline and online mode.
    Playing local mission need online is stupid.

    Man the last 2 days the game servers are down for hours through the day.

    Then now when I open the crates... I click open and they don't open, no items are received, and timers are refreshed...

    Also used gems for the crate and got a few Coke bottles and a gem or two... very frustrating.

    Yeah if anyone has keys, gems, or free loot from timers... clicking any to redeem is counting against your key total, gen total, and timer reset without getting the proper rewards.

    Just tested my keys... I have 440 and used 50 and now I have 390 but got nothing for a reward....

    So hold off cashing in...

    Subatomic finally posted on Twitter a couple of hours ago:

    That's after more than 24 hours of downtime.

    Good game

    Great game, unfortunately servers are still down and only been able to play it for 2 hrs so far
    so things could be better or worst! so far being able to guide your troops is really a great plus to this game

    Such a great game, a year in soft launch, but failing to get the server infrastructure right has completely botched the launch. My fear is that this will now be destined to become a niche game as only the hardcore fans will stick with it through this.

    You can only hype and launch a game once and the opportunity has been spectacularly missed.

    My concern as we approach the 48 hour mark is that they don't have an easy way to just plug in more server resources. They appear to have made no progress so far.

    Yeah... they are probably done. Such a shame.
    Nothing but a niche app with a few loyal pkayers at this point no doubt.
