Auto-deploy not working for Round 2 in GAC?

Gavsta

I deployed for Round 1, thought I'd try the auto-deploy defence function for the first time for Round 2 and got this... anyone else?

Not only that, the toons that would've been unavailable for offence, as they would've been set on defence, weren't available!!??🤔

This is why I always manually deploy

Great, I use the auto deploy a lot, now I have a new paranoia to think about.

WAI, whale harder, nothing to see here.

Gavsta

Me too @Baby_Yoda ... it's the 1st and last time I auto deploy!

Click on the section and double check they didnt just full clear you. Iv thought that before that i forgot to set defense and its just because they full cleared me. Edit... nvm i see you have a 0 in score

I had the same issue this last round, I used auto deploy quite a few times but I guess never again. So far their support has been useless as expected...

Gavsta

I submitted a bug report... just checked it and said closed. So submitted again as below...
I submitted the below bug report which is now closed.
I played Round 1 of the currently closing 3v3 Grand Arena.
For Round 2, my defences did not auto-deploy.
Not only did my Round 1 defences not auto-deploy, but there was no auto-deployment (such as with random toons).
Furthermore, the toons that should have been set on defence, were not available for offence.
This has meant i auto lost Round 2, and couldn't complete for 1st.
Also, will likely prevent me from getting to the Kyber tier.
Can this be remedied?
I've attached a pic of the attack phase showing the 0 points under my profile (Gavsta).
My ally code is 145-184-266

I wonder if it'll get looked at this time 🤣

They didn't, he would have had point for deploying defence, he is on zero.

Hello,
I submitted a ticket about my issue (same as yours), I got told that they can't do anything, they told me to post it and got this:


Looks like they can't even check if this happened, I guess if they can't check what happened in the game it can't be a surprise that we still have so many people cheating in this mode

Whatever you deployed in the first round will be what gets deployed in the 2nd and 3rd rounds unless you manually deploy something else.

Eitherway it should of deployed something

Yea but clearly nothing happened. Strange though, my autodeploy worked all the way for me.

@Gavsta - quick question...

When it was setup for round 2, did you completely leave GA alone expecting the auto deploy, or did you enter the zones and begin selecting teams, then back out without actually setting them?

Just wondering if the game turns off the auto deploy as soon as someone enters a zone as opposed to actually placing a team.

Hope you don't expect them to do anything. This is par for the course.

And this, people, is why you always place defenses manually. Don't rely on some bugged features when it's something you can easily do in under 5 min on your own. I always place defenses manually even if I end up placing the exact same teams as last round, simply because I don't trust these game mechanics.

Worked for me and I have the losses to prove it!

@DarjeloSalas honestly, I can't remember.
I've been thinking about it, and I don't think so, but I may have, all the rounds blur into one.
But, I was thinking that there may be an action (e.g entering a zone, or selecting the 'set defence' button) that may prevent the auto-deploy.
Either way, I'd expect it to deploy automatically if nothing is set and there's an auto deploy function.
Plus, I expect that this won't be dealt with looking at the reply Thel received above.

This opens a whole new sandbagging technique

Thanks for the reply. I’m 100% with you. Defence should auto deploy as stated and I’m so glad you made this post as I was previously planning to just let the game auto post my previous defence before the last round.

And I agree, expecting customer support to contribute to this debate meaningfully is a waste of energy!
