Dear players,

After the Attack of the Shapeshifter event started, we encountered a few bugs connected to this event. Please, remember that it is just a trial version this time, and we will do our best to fix these issues before the next iteration for this event however, the following issues will be present: 
General bug we are also aware of and working on solution for: 

We will let you know next week when the bugfix for these issues will happen.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

You lose tools on normal mode, first wave of tools is lost on normal mode. - That's a bug and is not on your list.
In test server, all the tools that were used on attack (normal mode) returned (same numbers of tools) to main castle. Also when you get attacked by a shape castle, it shows as a castellan (the attacker) not a commander. In test server there was no problem like this. 
Why in real servers run bugs and in test server event has no problems.
Again sistem shows how fake they are. Run an event that has problems (FOR 12 days) and they know that the event has problems.
Whats the point of Hard Mode even, you lose tools on normal mode if you get wiped by defender, and you lose like all tools, and nothing returns back.
This event is made just to eat players tools/feathers and nothing else.

In the test server, there were no bugs and the event ran perfectly. But when the event is on the regular server there are tons of weird bugs? I thought the test server was supposed to find all the bugs before the new updates came out.
That's what i said, the event was good on test server. No problems with hol bonuses or commander bonuses on attack mode.
I guess is "Planned and hidden bugs for real servers in the updates" Not "New events in the updates"

Why do we have a test server if you do trial runs of half-finished events on the actual servers anyways?

Tools are supposed to be lost in normal mode.

Also a bug sort of : The scoring in hardcoremode is ridiculous and set way to high.

Are you supposed to loose anything in defence ?

This is one of the battle reports
he lost his sols in defence which is not stated in the event info
it says defenders doesnt loose sols or tools in a defence attack.

Sadly, the glory decay issue doesn't appear to be corrected. And, as comments weren't included as an option in the "Hotfix" thread... there's no place to advise GGE. Honestly, thats one major major BUG.

I just got attacked by the shapeshifters and have very few men left in my castle, but they food consumption is exactly the same as it was before I was attacked.  The server is acting like my men are still there.  I didn't even know I was attacked until I read my messages because my food consumption was even -- like it was when I left it. This just seems like another event to get us to lose our men/tools and I'm sure our castles will be set on fire if we lose the attack -- so what is this -- we have to buy to keep up? I was getting tired of the bloodcrow attacks, and as far as I know, real players aren't attacking like that unless they are at war.  Are you at war with us?  I don't need to have my defenses attacked every week to challenge me. Last month I was attacked twice in three days by the bloodcrows, and they weren't small attacks.  The second time I just opened my doors because I didn't have time to recover from the first attack. Oh that's right -- that cost me rubies! Now that you knocked out most my defenders again, I'll just wait for a bloodcrow attack to finish me off. I just got a few more people interested in playing this game, but I'm so disgusted now I don't know if I'm going to stay. Most players avoid attacks like this, but you just keep piling them on.  Oh by the way, I can't get anymore defenders because the food consumption of the few I have left is three times what it should be.  Maybe when I log back in in will be right, but I'm not holding my breath. Really close to saying forget it over this one.

maybe you should just read some announcements about the event before coming here to complain.
defenders don't die when shapeshifters attack

edit: or just think about it, if your food consumption is same as before the attack you probably didn't lose any troops, and you should see from top of the window in your castles how many troops there are, if someone just killed your troops there is 0 and if not then there is few.

I attacked the shapeshifters . The shapeshifter totems changed after midnight and my attackers somehow returned to my main castle and I lost most my attackers and defenders due to food starvation because they got returned to my main castle.

[4881755] Inspector (AU1) [None] :: Dec. 15, 2017, 8:51 p.m.
Why do my troops return back to my main castle? I wasn't told that.

same has happened to me...does this mean all affected have to contact support and wait days?..need them for BC (and defence) 

oh and I guess as usual they launch a new event and no techies on to fix issues, weekend off. Thus I wont have the troops available to complete BC with...

a gift package of 500 shield walls, breaching towers heavy rams, 250 boulders, 500 deathly horrors and 500 demon horrors sounds good to me
