You are not the only one. This is happening on Lepus server too. Us Syndicates are holding forts which are under invasion. The tooltip says that the influence can’t change, but suddenly it did from 0 to 100% to opposing faction. And we can’t even bring it down. This is really horrible if it doesn’t get fixed, as it’s literally a game breaker.

Yep can confirm, did some pvp quests ON MY OWN in Everfall this morning and the influence for my faction went up by 15%. Was already surprised that it was possible to increase the influence by that much on my own.

You shouldn’t be able to gain influence if you’re going to lock out forts. There’s literally no counter play. I don’t know about the huge boosts to influence but regardless it’s not very fair considering you’re guaranteed to get dec’d the moment your invasion ends.

Game mechanic is broken. AGS please get your shit together - the MAIN FEATURE of your game is extremely broken. We’ve sunk 8+ hours of 20+ peoples time in our guild to push territories only to not be able to declare war due to the “Upcoming Invasion (but never actually comes) bug” or “No company has contributed enough influence yet” bug even though we pushed to 100% as a guild.
