Good afternoon!
TLDR: Putting a War Bid consumed our company (as well as another company’s) Gold but never started the ten minute timer. Resulting in the eventual reset of influence six hours later.
Server: Morrow
Companies involved: Dauntiess, The Viewage 1.0
Region: Weaver’s Fen
Time: After midnight 10/1/21
We (the two companies involved) pushed our influence to 100% to put the region into conflict. within the first 10minutes, I’ve tried to put in a 15K bid for the war. After some Gold pushing from the company treasury to my popcket, I attempted to put in the bid but it would not accept the gold and put the region into the 10 minute counter. After a few more attempts (Moving the gold to the company bank), the sound like the gold was taken went off but still no 10minute counter. I relogged to see if it was something on my end however I came back seeing our company bank was 15K short and we couldn’t attempt another 15K attempt. The region was still on the six hour countdown.
About 40minutes later, the other company asked in faction chat to learn they too has lost Gold attempting to bid for war.
To the best of my memory, the faction had ownership of the fort at the times of the bids.
I wonder if Syndicate also had a similar problem earlier in the day as they quickly ‘conflicted’ another region (Monarch’s Bluff) but never put the region in war. They definitely had the region’s fort early in the declaration period.
Later this morning, a third Covenant Faction Conflicted a third region but was successful in putting the region into War.
Can we at least get our gold back and learn how to avoid this issue in the future if possible on our end?
Thanks for reading.
