Chapter 328

Chapter 328. Preparing for a Fun Event (2).

Of course, I wasn’t the only one who thought about the Nerañzara-class. But the Nerañzara-class… despite having firepower barely comparable to a regular destroyer, it’s a monster that eats up 50 points. Could it really participate in an event that’s only open to “cruiser battleships and below”? Since its points are higher than a cruiser battleship, logically, it shouldn’t be able to join this event.

At first, I laughed off Jessica’s suggestion… but after discussing various things and naturally completing the fleet composition to some extent…

“Hmm, so the event fleet composition is one cruiser battleship, one light cruiser, four destroyers, and two patrol ships, right?”

“Yeah, and let’s throw in the Nerañzara too.”

Thinking it wouldn’t hurt to try, I decided to immediately include the Nerañzara in the fleet. After all, if there were restrictions, it wouldn’t even be possible to include it in the event fleet. Surprisingly, the moment I added the Nerañzara to the event fleet, it smoothly integrated without any warning messages… hmm. I felt something was quite peculiar.

‘Well, the size and firepower of the Nerañzara aren’t much different from a real destroyer, so it makes sense… but still…’

Thanks to that, I felt like I was the only one using a cheat code, and my conscience was spinning in circles… but that was only for a moment.

‘Actually, this is good.’

In a situation where everyone only has regular-grade ships, having the Nerañzara allows for so-called ‘unconventional tactics.’ I decided to participate in the event with full determination, using the cruiser battleship as the flagship.

==========

But as soon as the event started, not only the users, including myself, but even the event operators encountered an unexpected problem. The issue was that when users entered the event map from their bases, the event map was divided based on the base IPs, identifying individuals. The problem arose when users who docked at a base entered the event map through the ‘base,’ resulting in them being grouped with the ‘clan leader’ or ‘user’ who owned that base due to a bug.

However, both the operators and users only realized this issue after entering the event map… and as a result…

-[WTF how am I supposed to win this] (Enemy)

-[Just give up] (Ally)

The user I was matched with unfortunately had to face a fleet of 1,104 users docked at Avalon and Barracuda. What’s more frustrating is that this wasn’t just happening to me…

Right now, whether the operators messed up or not, users docked at bases are all being grouped into the same team when entering the event.

It’s happening to me and others, and it’s not just one or two people who got hit by this, so we’re all reporting it to the operators like crazy.

This sucks.

Comments:

-[What kind of mess is this LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[I got hit with 1 vs. 10 and lost three cruiser battleships before surrendering]

-[I think the operators should fix this, seriously]

-[I was wondering why I suddenly got matched with 700 people, turns out it was this]

-[I got matched with a thousand LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

—————————————–

In this way, users who suddenly got ganged up on were exploding with complaints, and chaos was breaking out all over the gallery and chat windows. Of course, considering the number of bases occupied by users, the overall number of users affected by this bug wasn’t that large… but…

Title: Is this event the most epic match ever?

I saw the opponent’s rank 1 pop up, so I thought, “Ah, damn, gotta go all out,” and the fight got intense.

Suddenly, the numbers skyrocketed, and it only stopped when it reached that number.

I wanted to surrender because it was so messed up.

But I couldn’t just surrender.

So I was about to go all in, but they said they wouldn’t destroy my stuff and suggested I just take moderate damage, so I went with that and got out.

Damn admins, can’t you do your job right?

Comments:

-[Bro’s out here soloing the entire Humanity main force.]

-[This is kinda badass.]

-[Wait, were you that guy?]

-[Humanity, welcome!]

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[This is definitely legendary.]

-[You won, congrats.]

-[I didn’t want this kind of victory, lol.] (Author)

—————————————–

…Even someone who fought a 1 vs. 11,513 battle showed up.

The situation was a complete mess, and the gallery and all communities were on fire.

Of course, the ones raging and saying everything should burn were only the users who got wrecked.

<Avalon-Barracuda Old Folks' Home>

<Notice: Those who seek to become a clan shall hang by their necks.>

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Congrats on the 1 win, lol.]

-[Bug’s sweet, huh?]

-[But seriously, aside from the victory points, the rest of the points are basically nonexistent, right?]

-[<Battle result screen, nothing but victory points.jpg>]

-[Yup.]

-[Not just nonexistent, it’s literally zero.]

-[Still, getting even 1 win when you shouldn’t have is something.]

-[You can buy some small stuff in the shop now, lol.]

—————————————–

As shown by the reactions in the ‘Old Folks’ Home,’ the exclusive chatroom for users docked at Avalon and Barracuda, those who tasted the fruits of victory were happy with their free win.

And it wasn’t just us; even the big clans like Humanity.

Loki, Justice, Biomass, and even the Magellan-Southern Union.

Every base-holding group benefited, so they tried to control the narrative with reactions like that, but…

<<<Emergency Update Notice>>>

<An error has been confirmed in the current 'Clash of the Titans' event where Commanders docked at bases were being assigned to the same team in bulk.>

<The issue has been identified and fixed, and Commanders affected by this error will have their ships and superhumans restored.>

<We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our Commanders.>

—————————————–

It seems the issue was too severe to ignore.

The admins immediately restored the fleets and superhumans of the affected users and fixed the error.

Unfortunately, from the second battle onward, the fun mass battles were replaced by the event’s original intent: pure physical, brain, and magical☆ battles between users.

And even though fleets and superhumans were rolled back.

Users who had their “victory” snatched away screamed for the battle results to be rolled back too.

<Temporary Armband Chatroom>

-[Everyone, you know what’s up, right?] (Antares)

-[Lol.]

-[Lolol.] (Loki)

-[…] (Arcadia)

-[Lolololol, let’s go!] (Indypatible)

-[Of course, we gotta crush it all, right?] (Königs)

—————————————–

Sadly for them, those posts were all suppressed by the armbands who reaped the fruits of victory.

So the demand to roll back the victories was buried in the gallery.
