Not a Bug/Cannot reproduce Repeated Awards Issue

[galanoulis]

Ingame Nick:Galanoulis
Affected world(s):zz2 (but most probably all)
Browser: Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera, Dolphin, qand mainly on all browsers
Reproduction steps:

1. .Open link to "your Grepolis Score"
2. .Go to Daily Awards
3. .Choose one you have completed more than once.

Detailed error description (What you see):
As you can see from below screenshot there is definitely something wrong with repeated daily awards (like power of the day, attacker of the day , etc)

In this example I am using the "Attacker of the Day" which I had to get (as it seemed easier that the others ) to check my suspicions....

So firstly... Not all obtained awards appear in the Grepolis Score window.
Grepolis Score (along with the lower bar in user profile are supposed to be the places where all awards someone has won appear....
Well this is wrong!!!
As you can see in the Grepolis Score window appears (form the score and only from there) that I have won this four times. When??? how cares if the player wants to know... we only provide the date from last one!!!!

So if he wants to see the dates (even for his ego only) he will have to try and locate the award from a chaotic list... and there get the separate one for each day.... (as can be seen in the attached photo!!)

Other part of the bug is that despite it is the LAST obtained award, in the drop down menu does not appear in the far bottom as all rest rewards (apart from the daily ones) but in a random place!!!! Happens only with the daily rewards!!!

And last part is that as long as I can see all dates for a daily reward when using the bb-code for a specific reward for a specific server I should also be able to get the same information in the Grepolis Score which is supposed to be a personal hall of glory for the personal awards. So either display all days or none!!

Also the fact that you select to display by bb-code a specific award from a specif server should provide same info as in the Grepolis Score or let you also select the date


How it should be:
It should display all dates in the Grepolis Score same way as the bb-code
It should display on day only upon as this is what is meant when you read
Specific Award from specific Server
As Day A award is different from Day B award!!! Otehwise it would not be called daily and give extra points every time you get it!!!


Screenshot:

(not same result)

(despite just won, still not appearing last in the list as it happens with the rest!!)

Uhm... I'm sorry but I'm a little bit confused. First of all, let's not mix suggestions with bug reports.

The display of the last day only on greposcore is not a bug for instance as there isn't the space to fit N awards there, but only one. If you'd like to see every single award there, feel free to use the Ideas and Suggestions forum section

Providing a detailed description is ok, that's what we ask, but mixing too many stuff makes the report more confused. Can you please open a different thread for each different issue, and describe it clearly?


With the given reproduction steps I can't reproduce any bug.

Thanks ^^

How you have so much bugs .and me ,and others don't ? I am playing here in the testservers since 5 - 6 years , but I never found so much bugs .

How you have so much bugs .and me ,and others don't ? I am playing here in the testservers since 5 - 6 years , but I never found so much bugs .

Well there are 2 options....
Either I am playing on a beta server all alone and have cloned all rest accounts as NCP's
or I am a very smart and experienced person and I am able to distinguish when something is wrong
or you do not pay attention to what happens around you and you are on a beta server environment without knowing what you are supposed to do

In any case all people around are supposed to check game fluency and if something does not seems OK then report it.....
Bugs that are too obvious to see is for the masses..... bugs hidden behind small details are usually for people with the ability to see behind the obvious and seek fo rteh unexpected when it si most expected....

Pay attention to your monitor.... use other menus and combinations of actions.... and you will find many bugs.... like the one that most likely I am going to report the coming Sunday..... (if not bored...)

Till then enjoy the game and remember...... if something looks wrongs... then it might worth up to 75gold coins!!!!

Well as long as they are not suppose to appear in the Grepolis Score the way I expected and described above.... I might drop a post in the proposals for teh 1st part.... (along with the award bb-code sorting type)


But the 2nd part is definitely a bug....
And this is how it currently appears in the awards bb-code drop down menu....
Awards seems to be sorted according to the date they were acquired...
i.e. last gained award in the end of the list.....

but as described above, in the daily awards this does not apply as they are sorted with respect to the date the award was first obtained and not according the date of teh lat time it was obtained....

i.e. as per above screenshots,
in the drop down menu the "Attacker of the day" was listed with a reference to the first date I received it i.e. 16 APRIL 2017 (and there fore appears in the middle of the list) and NOT according to the last date obtained i.e. 20MAY2018 in which case should be at the far bottom of the list!!!!!!

Hope 2nd part of above report is now more clear and this is definitely a bug..... as award is not displayed same way as the rest!!!

 

[Arci]

Uhm... once again, I wouldn't call it a bug.

As you said, the awards are sorted by the time when you obtained them. What you're asking is a new rule to change said behaviour to better display the daily awards, right?

 

[galanoulis]

Once again let me try and explain in more simple/plain English.......

I won an award on 20th May 2018. Name of award "Attacker of the day"
Award does not appear in the end of the awards list as it is supposed to same and in exactly the same way as the rest awards!!!

I won another award today, 26th May 2018. Name of award "Turning Back Time 05/2018"
Once again, award does not appear in the end of the awards list as it is supposed to same and in exactly the same way as the rest awards!!!

Both awards appear in a random place along a list of about.

eg below are screenshots of the two awards and locations in teh drop down menu...


The first award...
"Attacker of teh day"
https://image.prntscr.com/image/I8hAwkDvRtqezelndUUaIQ.png

and the second award which I won today
https://image.prntscr.com/image/EnT5xn4kTqOF3H1icgjTbQ.png

and

guess what........

I tried to locate the new one which I had just obtained (!!!) and it was missing form the end of the award list!!!!!
https://image.prntscr.com/image/KzxKf7FfRoKwGoR4bksIqw.png

Where is my last obtained awards.... named
"Turning Back Time 05/2018"
????

Yes... that one with the name MAY 2018!!!! This very month which is about to end!!!!!

Because by saying MAY 2018 it is supposed to be a brand new awards....

Well... let me saw you where exactly it is located this one.... (as for the attacker of the day there is already a screenshot in the first post)


https://image.prntscr.com/image/VT3DAHDER2WqH7svGdYQ0Q.png

Yes...!!!!!! you are right..... it not located in teh end as it is supposed to be as newly awarded award..... it is in the middle!!!!

And guess what.... as per event time stamp all screenshots are from today......!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So after spending more than 5 minutes.... I was able to locate it....

[galanoulis]

They are in positions 124 & 141 of my list of the 247 awards I have obtained until now!!!!
And for someone to find it here it is easy.... just a small Ctrl+F for search and there you go.....
But guess again.... in the drop down menu we do not have the Ctrl+F option..... It is just a random list of 248 entries for my case!!!!
Not alphabetically.... but by date of award!!!!
(they have also been colored and highlighted so as to make it even more easy to locate them...)

So as long as those two awards, and especially the last one with the name MAY 2018 do not appear in the end of the 248 entries list.... then YES... this is a problem and it is called BUG!!!!

If for you the resolution is "create a new rule" then yes... do so.....
Because from my player point of view I really do not care at all as for me it takes about 30 seconds to locate the entry thanks to my manual hand made "scripting" trick...


As long as Inno has decided the awards to be sorted according to the nomination date and not alphabetically, then Inno has to comply with that decision because in the end of the day it was not me who decided that....
On the other hand Inno can just do nothing and enjoy seen company clients wasting their time to find something which Inno do not know how to represent

So is this a bug which you fix and pay me the 75 gold (as it is fully documented and form included) or it is not a bug despite it does not comply with what Inno set as "awards locate" rule... last award obtained... last entry in the list.....

(funny that there is a limit of 10000characters per post and 19seconds in-between consecutive posts....)

 

[Arci]

Creating a new post in the suggestion section like "hey, can you move the daily award at the bottom of the list once won again?" would have taken waaaay less than 10.000 characters.

I'll forward this as a suggestion ^^

Yes that is true..... because with all those characters even you get a data buffer overflow.....

Because if you had paid some attention you would had seen that apart from the daily awards... the problem is also with the Turning Back Time 05/2018 which is NOT a daily award......

Which award managed to also turn back in the queue.......




You like it or not this is a programming error i.e the definition of a bug........

I could not care less if you fix it or not......
For me it makes no difference.....
as due to my "trick" I locate them in less than 30 seconds....

(need more time to open menu rather than locate it.....

Your problem will be the rest of your customers who keep searching for it somewhere in the chaos of a list which seems to be random and unsorted in a human friendly way......

 

[Arci]

That award is under the same category as the daily awards, still working as intended

Well you could have said that before when

that despite award says May2018 it is an old awards and not a new one as it name indicates....

Because in the Γρεπολισσψορε window we have different entries....

and NOT the same ones like in the daily awards case....

So not only the list is a no-sense spagetti.. but hte whole awards thing is starting getting no-sense as to when it is repeated ot self and when not!!!

Bon Appétit...

If you hover your mouse on the NWOT awards on this creen you'll notice they have different names, and again they're not inthe same category as Attacker of the day.
