    So far our guild has seen two ways of the influence bugging - one we've managed to work around. The ctrl+f sometimes bugs and doesn't claim the reward, however it seem that when this happens we don't get influence - click the claim button on the right though is working.

    The other time we don't get it, appears to be when you don't get any reward for a HE - sadly no work around, it just means you've missed out on that lot of influence.

    "I understand this might be the result of an attempt to thwart HE hit and runs.In this case, the deterring factor is overreaching and resulting in an annoying, negative experience"

    Yeah but that doesn't make any sense because we're playing on a separate instance where only guild members can hang on. So none really want's to "steal" our influence.

    So I agree, it's just stupid and has to be addressed asap. Influence is one of main SH currencies and we're all crazy to get it as fast as we can - and now it's bugged as hell.

    We should get something like double influence weekend maybe :) ?

    3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
    4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"

    It is now 400 Influence a day on Preview. The first is 150. :)

    Now things should get moving until GH 10, then we'll all demand more!!!! ;)

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for all of the great responses so far. I wanted to let you all know that we're investigating the issues that have been posted here regarding lag when trying to claim your HE reward and subsequently getting lower influence because of it. I've seen it a few times myself while playing the Stronghold HE's.

    We're also investigating a better daily cooldown for Influence instead of the current per-player 20 hour timer.

    Thanks again for all your feedback and please keep it coming!

    Hi again everyone,

    Our lead programmer has uncovered what was triggering an issue with certain HE's "lagging" when you hit Ctrl+F, causing players to not receive their proper Influence. I'll be working on a fix for this today and hopefully we will get this change out soon.

    Our hope is to also release this fix with another tweak we are working on, which is changing the Influence daily cap to reset at 3 AM every day instead of the personal 20 hour cooldown.

    Please keep an eye out on patch notes for when these changes go live and please keep posting your feedback related to any issues you're seeing with Strongholds, we appreciate it!

    You guys are allowed to sleep too, @commanderander... lol



    Edited to add:
    Should we just hold off on CTRL+F until the fix is implemented, or does it not really matter either way?

    This class balance is never going to happen! The have announced mod 8 so that means they are working on it. They have said they are attempting to fix stuff from mod 6 and attempting to finish mod 7. Class balance is never going to happen they have no time to do it!

    I see your pessimism and raise it by 100, they cannot find time to fix basic bugs, so how are they ever going to make the time to fine tune class balance.

    Thank you for relieving some of the pressure on the influence bottleneck. It would also be nice if we could get the Stronghold vouchers, shards, and influence moved to the RICHES INVENTORY TAB. This becomes more of an issue when a donation category (such as Heroic Shards of Power) becomes maximized. It was very nice to see a way to remove all the unused excess campaign currencies, but unfortunate to see so many new currency items that take up regular bag space. Even characters with maximum storage capabilities are starting to run into issues (especially as we start hoarding those double enchantments for the upcoming Double RP weekend)

    Doubt it will happen. More bag sales!

    Seems like this is still not fixed with todays patch on live, was it supposed to be?
  • ghoulz66ghoulz66 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 3,748 Arc User
    Is this account wide or something? When I work on my 3rd character I no longer get any influence.

    We’re looking into a solution to increase the amount of influence each guild member can earn per day and anticipate a fix very soon.

    +500 Influence for doing an 'eligible' 15minute FOUNDRY QUEST? WHAAAAT!?!

    THAT'S AMAZING. ;D

    Good and bad here. Good that the Influence is included, bad that it's tied to the 15 minute eligibility. It would be better if there was an RNG Influence booster in the end chest, this would mean players wouldn't just flock to the shortest possible eligible quest (though the booster would also create a "farming" mentality). Many of us make quests in excess of 15 minutes, for a while, it was even more difficult than it has been recently to garner player interest for anything that wasn't near 15 minutes in length.

    +1000

    We all greatly appreciate the raised cap to 400. Can you please consider a small boost again up to 500?

    Today got 205 influence
  • plasticbatplasticbat Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 12,380 Arc User
    It becomes freaky weird. I did not claim the HE rewards right the way because I know my "timer" was not reset. So, I was doing HE once a while all day yesterday. After I passed the reset time (that I think it is the reset time, 11pm EST), I claimed all of them. I got MANY 150 influence (based on the display). I added that up was about 800. I was wow! Then, I checked inventory. I got only 150. I checked the log. I got one 150. :(

    I get 0 afterward.

    woot first encounter. influence got bugged. click it a few times. rewarded 25 influence for the day. TYVM GG
  • instynctiveinstynctive Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 1,885 Arc User
    IF you do only small Heroics they do not seem to get bugged, it only Bugs out when you do a Major or one of the Epic ones​​

    ^^^^This, a million times over.

    My guild started doing only the small HEs and everyone has been getting all their Influence.

    Another tip: if the "Claim Reward" box doesn't blink 4 or 5 times, don't click it (or press CTRL+F) until it does.

    For my problem, I did not click them until hours after.

    Do not understand why we are we talking about when they work, they should work always, not only on small HE's or when they are blinking. This should be fixed asap, even if it means emergency maintanance, it is a big deal, considering how important influence is, and if you miss it by fault of bug you can never earn it back, thus delay occur in stronghold construction.
