Alliance Bonuses are not Working

putzboy78

Just got all the guilds in the alliance out of the probation and started our upgrades. Guess what the alliance discounts aren’t working. The discount shows properly when you look at your coffer or the screen but when you go to upgrade the un-discounted amounts are reflected.

So let’s get this straight, Alliances featured

1) New Quest Line (works unless you have some unfinished quests that you cannot go back and complete)
2) Ability to form 13 guild alliances which was broke for two days
3) XP bonus – broke
4) Building Cost Reduction – broke

Serioulsy @strumslinger, what’s going on over there in cryptic world?


Also note that while upgrades are running, switching to the stronghold tab of the guild screen crashes the game client

The XP bonus from guild alliances does work. When you hover the mouse over the XP bar the value shown doesn't take the guild alliance bonus into account, but it does work.

So far, I haven't had any problems with the campaign and leveling quests. I've done a number of the old areas on lvl 70 toons that didn't do them. I'm a completionist, so eventually I'll get them all don't on all 19 toons. There is a well known issue where if your way over level, the floater won't be above a quest givers head. You have to know who to talk to to start a quest. That's nothing new, and I think is actually WAI if I recall correctly.

prove it?

In either case the building savings isn't working, or can't be tested without great personal risk. How many guilds are wasting resources ATM with this bug

Seems to me, it can be tested on preview without any risk.

If you look at the structure costs in the SH tab from the guild screen the old values are displayed. If you look at the costs in the mimic for the currently selected building they are reduced by the amount of the discount.

edit - which upon closer examination of your picture is similar behavior to what you are seeing

Here's the costs of Stable 4, if ya view from the SH Page.



Here's the costs from the Mimic with the Alliance Discount factor'd in. (2.3%)
*The math adds up*

Now go hit upgrade and see what if the numbers match. As stated, the numbers look okay at the coffer. The error comes up when you actually try to upgrade the structure

I tested this out on Preview on two buildings using the exact numbers shown on the coffer. I was able to upgrade them. Tomorrow, maybe we'll be able to try it out on this Stable here.

I confirmed the amounts display wrong on the confirmation screen but the discounted amount is applied to the upgrade. So apparently we can upgrade and cryptic just needs to fix the data displayed on the confirmation screen.

valwryn

Double Confirm'd: We were able to upgrade the Stables with only what the discounted Heroic price showed.

One bit of good news: you can get around the crash during an upgrade by talking directly to the steward. That will let you use the stronghold overview.
