Nope, i don't mean a giant can of Baygone !! I think we would all agree that somewhere along the line we have nearly all been affected by one or more of the bugs which proliferate in this game.
Here is a suggestion, having given enough notice, GGE should freeze everyones position in the game (so no troops starve etc etc) then shut it down for a week and fix, then refix, then test EVERYTHING to make sure that it works 100% as it is meant to. I am sure they could find enough volounteers to ensure that it is child proof before they reopen. This would give them a definative time frame, they could do all the forward planning (whoops did i say that !!) get all their ducks in a row (and code as well) then go in a completely fix this (at times) shambolic excuse for a game.
(having lit blue touch paper retires a safe distance and waits for the explosions !!)

well it just seems to be one giant clusterf**k after another. Hot fixes might solve one or two MINOR issues, but the MAJOR underlying issues are still there.
My original thoughts on this matter still stand. GGE MUST understand that their income is derived from players, and if this situation keeps re-occuring, they will leave. Income stream dries up, people will get laid off (probably from the so called support staff) and the situation goes into a death spiral. The latest saga with Storm is a perfect example. They need to fix all the problems, test and retest, this will also give the Support staff the time to catch up with the back log of current complaints.
If anyone else has another solution, then lets hear it

I support this idea 9999999999999999999%, i have logged on to find ALL 850 troops spread across my castles, GONE (except for 17 spearmen!) as long as my re-constructed army doesnt starve, this would be a great fix. plus, like you said, if im not afraid of all my troops vanishing, i may buy some rubies:)

The problem with this is even if gge fix 100% of the problems one week the next week they will do an update lets say a new event then there will be a new bug new problems and it would get incredibly boring if they shut down this game for the week would'nt it.

they would have a week (or less if they are any good) to sort everything out, then before they release another new update they would ahve time to properly test it without having to fix all the other bugs. This should ensure that there is minimal (it should be none) disruption

lol, pretty sure they test all updates before release, and find more bugs after release xDmakale (AU1) said:they would have a week (or less if they are any good) to sort everything out, then before they release another new update they would ahve time to properly test it without having to fix all the other bugs.

If this happens, we will only have 5/7 days of playing every week

The current fekkup in Sams, goes to validate my points here. No proper testing, just a case of throw in an update (preferably on a friday, thereby fekkin up the servers for the weekend when they DON'T work) come in on Monday (sometime) see the problem and just say, oh well, if you dont like it tuff shite...no screen shots to prove your complaint, then it never happened.
They will get @CM arcanine to roll out the usual platitudes, then go back to the pub to have a laugh !!

I was aiming for 5th in kala's winning sams right now and coming 6th in beri - but stuck at 8th thanks gge, a player in our alliance was grinding like mad to get all 9 pieces of cast and now wont - he says he'll leave if its not sorted, this needs to be sorted soon gge - you should have 1 or 2 people to work on bugs in the game over the weekend, only makes sense
