Ship arena is an unfair game

Darth_Tyranus_mx

Well I guess I'm not the first player who has this problem and I hope you could help and fix this... the arena is supposed to be a PVP game, is it correct?
Then, could you tell me why my opponent can call two or more identical ships?. E.g. I fought against some guy today an he could call two Jedi consular ships, that is not fair, and even worse, his capital ship (ackbar's one) had the same star quantity than mine and he could call one more reinforcement, so Where is the fair game?

ViperPete

Wow never experienced that.... You sure you were playing Arena and not the Ackbar challenge?

Darth_Tyranus_mx

The ship arena indeed my friend

A video would probably be very helpful to provide evidence that it's actually happening as you say it is. Then maybe the developers could figure out what's going on and fix it, if need be.

If you're playing on Android, the Google Play Games achievement-tracking app has a screen recorder built in which is easy to use, and it conveniently offers to upload the video to Youtube whenever you stop a recording.

It's a bug, I've experienced the same thing many time. They will keep reinforce when they can.

Yes, you are the first player that has 2 JC in a pvp as oponents.
Yes, areana is pvp.
2 JC in one battle is not posible in pvp and has nothing to do with fair.
Same star lvl have the same space for ships, but can be empty, if you don't have enough ships.

As @ViperPete suggested, are you sure that it was arena and not challage?
The challange has 2 JC and they can bring more JC, too.
Next time if you, or @Ipoopsy2 battle 2 JC ships in the ARENA, please remember the players name.

It has nothing to do with fair or bug.

I'm just confirming the OP. and YES, ITS SHIP ARENA. It happens to me often, if you don't kill your opponent fast enough and the reinforcement will keep coming until, 1, you either time out or they will eventually kill you with more reinforcements while you ran out of your own. And the AI will continue reinforce over and over, and sometimes the same ship reinforced again and again.

I've personally seen 5 reinforced ship so far...and currently, you can have a max of 3 reinforcement ship with a 6* capital ships. Since we can't 7* yet.

ViperPete

I have never seen more than 3 reinforcements. Not one time since ships came out.

Torin_Woodle

Is it possible that it is a cheat?

Platypoctopus

That is a huge bug if it's actually happening the way you say it is, so take some screenshots proving it and then submit it as one.

That's not working as intended so it has nothing to do with "fair," it's just a glitch. I've never experienced anything like this in any of my fleet battles, although literally word for word the same thing happens in the fleet challenges... Endless Jedi Consular and other ships as reinforcements, which is working as intended.

ViperPete

Can you please record a video and show us what you're experiencing? Proof will help and probably get EA's attention.
As far as the challenges, I have noticed more than 1 reinforcement. Just have to kill it quicker...

Darth_Tyranus_mx

so, after next month's update notes... there was indeed a bug with the reinforcements, right?, and those who made the claim right here were "completely lunatic", uhm, sure...
Thank you EA for reading this topic, now you can close it.

Mzee

The bug referenced in the update notes is a different issue. People were unable to call their reinforcements in battles with the option greyed out when it shouldn't be.

Argarath

Never seen this happens. If what OP said is true (doubtful) this should be in Bug section
