I would like to say Marin:
QUIT THIS GAME AND ADMITT YOU CANT FIX IT!
What is enough is enough. This is so f*cked up it just cant be true.
We are unable to acces players pages!!!! For micronatiobs where 1 or 2 players are NT or U21 future we are unable to buy them!!!! It is so ridicolous you have litteraly f*cked up our U21 season!!! After 3 days of waiting adjusting real life situatiobs to be able to be present at deadline i am unable to acces player page!!!

I wrote a comment that I deleted accidentally but the gist is: it's never ever been as bad as this week and I already REGULARLY used the other mirrors when the main site was slow. I (most likely) lost one game because I could not scout my opponent on Friday AND I could not change tactics/GDP yesterday. The player pages are even worse, they have been down for even longer stretches. BB Api has been mostly down and currently still is. All of these problems happened not just on the main site, but also on the mirrors. Yesterday with 1 minute to go in an auction I had been trying to bid on for a good half an hour (on the main site and both mirrors), all auctions were pushed back by 2 hours, which means Marin or someone else was actively doing something in the background, as auctions do not get pushed back without intervention.

Did someone see any updates by any of the BBs on this? Nope, not a peep. The offseason update disappeared, new season post went up and things still were not working.

It's unreasonable to have to spend hours logged in, just to be around in the 10 minutes when at least one of the websites is working. It's just garbage. If they launch an app while the servers and the back end are this bad, nobody will stick around. To top it all off we did get an official statement that the problems were fixed, before the radio silence, but yesterday and this morning have both been a disaster. This is the worst I've experienced since I start playing the game. It has never been so bad for so long. We had issues in the past with the offseason that lasted until Fridays and some games in Australia/Japan were pushed back I think, but issues this bad into Sunday? Come on.

How is it even possible that things get worse? Can we get an explanation?

I would like to ask Marin if we are going to have our suporter extended (at least 1 season). This is by far the game I have expended more money on and the start of this season is the worst I can remember. I was even afraid I wasn't going to make the line-up for saturday's game. This is the week that should bring more enjoyment and all I am getting It's a really bad experience.

On a side note, I haven't read any apologies in the season 51 news. I guess it's nothing exceptional now days.

Now we're going for an 8 hour (now 12) delay in the economy update...when this happens, at the very least, please issue refunds for the staff and player salaries if they are bought in between the scheduled time of the economic update and the actual time it takes place.

If you bid yesterday on a player whose auction ended at 3PM CET and you win the auction, you shouldn't be expected to pay his last week's salary. Thankfully I was outbid on a staff member, but this is seriously messed up.

You will be surprised! You may even be shocked or confused. :)

It's definitely not the first time that's happened and there was never any refund. Well, I just lost 100k for a good start of the week... and still counting (complete replacement of the entire staff).

And to be honest I don't care - it makes no difference to me, because I wasn't going to spend that money or invest that money anyway. I wouldn't even notice it if it wasn't pointed out to me by the big yellow announcement on the main page. Frankly, I'm not just surprised and that's probably the worst part of it.

However, I believe a lot of people might be upset about it, especially if they just bought a player with high salary.

PS. The auction has been postponed to today due to previous problems with the site. After all, there is justice in this world. :)

I can see auctions ending in a few minutes...both staff and players. And the update has not run yet (we're going for 13 hours now and NT managers are getting angry).

Let's look at it from the other side - BBs can't say 'hey, we will refund your money for transfers* between X am and Y pm'. That would be an incentive to buy players with high salary, especially at a low price in order to get rid of them. There are no good solutions left

* - i.e. salary, literally.

PS. I just changed arena name and there is no cost for this operation. It seems that the problem is probably bigger than we had previously thought.

What are you talking about? That's EXACTLY what was supposed to happen and exactly what happens every other week of the season when there are no problems with the economy update.

Watch as you will be charged retroactively for that...
