Game glitches and improvements

Anyone else experiencing some annoying glitches in the game lately?  One of them is when doing daily quests.  The time completes but does not allow you to claim it...if you look at tie remaining it is going negative time.  You have to exit out then get back in to get it right.  Another aggravating glitch is when ordering up troops.  I have to click on it 2 or 3 times to get it to work.  Pain in the rump when you are measuring things out.


Hey here is a game improvement.  Why not let us type in amounts we wish?  This holds for resources ..when I am setting up a trade...or transferring an amount to some one.  When buying troops or moving troops around.  I want to transfer 400 marauders to the presidio.  I have to wiggle it back and forth to get close to that amount...which is extremely rare if I get 400 exactly.

I experienced this one, but I don't know exactly how to reproduce it yet. When I do, I'll report it.

My training works fine. However, this gave me an idea:

This makes me think it's your browser. Is it Firefox? I had that issue there forever. It's the main reason I gave up on playing in Firefox.

I'm playing in Chrome now and it works fine for me, in the Market, Tavern, etc. I just tried it to make sure.

I use chrome.  The improvement .  Be nice to just set up even numbers.  Trade 7k lumber for 7k gold...instead I get something like 6958 or 7045.  All this is based on quantity.  If I have 450 marauders and i want to transfer 400...generally can do it.  But if I have 1350...then I have to get something close to what i want.  Be quicker for me if I could just type in 400..   have a button  that leaves a blank....quantity sent  or just quantity.


As to the timing glitches...it happens almost every session.  Usually get on 3x a day

But that's what I'm telling you: I can type the exact numbers for units and resources (when sending and in the market). No problem there. It works fine for me.

Try a different browser if you can. I've heard people claiming that Edge works fine for them. I wouldn't know, as it's impossible for me to run it. Also, you can consider trying the app.

For res, you can also use +/- buttons to go by galleons, i.e., if your galleons carry 2k each, then +/- means +2k/-2k.

If you specify the exact version of Chrome and Flash, I can pass this on as a bug report, but I wouldn't hold high hopes, as Plarium is abandoning browsers in favour of the app.

P.S. Next time I reply to this topic, I will also move it to the "Bugs" subforum, where it really belongs. So, if you don't find it here, look there, please.

I've ditched the app and am back on Firefox.


No issues here too.  I can click on the box next to the sliders and type in exact amounts.


Sometimes it's "glitchy" with things like resource buttons in the den.  For some reason it always wants to keep a 1 in the box.  I have to type in a number and then delete it.


How are your speedtest numbers?  Sometimes lag can make funny things happen.

It actually didn't work a long time (years) ago. John and I nagged about it and Plarium added it at some point (probably not because we were nagging, but I feel better thinking that the nagging helped ;-)).

if I understand your meaning.. when a daily is finishing... 
I had that happen.. I trained myself to use new Hoist button even when collecting 1 or 2 dailies

works every time and I suspect is somehow causing issue

Hello! Could you please describe this issue in more details? If possible, please add full screenshots. Thanks!

AH HA!.. 1st the Hoist button is wrong term - that is access to hoisting Prestige after which button is
 and I finally had that fail.. and I noticed something.. in my Address bar 
normally secure had         

Plarium had under construction page when I tried to refresh page

i do not know if that is the case for others
the insecure message also mentioned that someone may be able to view my page and change what you are seeing..
that was scary.. I did not take all the screenshots I should have.. 
those last 2 screen shot samples I got from http site to give simulated visuals but it did not have the rest of message I saw.
I did make sure the plarium site address still showed HTTPS at the time.. and it did but was insecure anyway..
so it is different than just being HTTP insecure
I had full protection up at the time 
I noticed it 2 times with 8 hour full protect activated.. now that would be ironic
Never noticed it any other time and will make point of Capturing Screenshots if it happens again when I put full protect on.. 

without full protect on:...
I have had times when raids disappeared in transit after raid
I have tried to send troops to bastion only to find my haven and harbor empty of all troops.
I have been in middle of raids and the troop count stopped displaying troop number and capacity  to send.. 

had to type in a # to get it to display and edit number of troops to send..
refreshing page always seemed to fix that..
 in middle of pushing raids I am always in a hurry to refresh page to continue asap


I always figured it was over taxed heavy traffic server thing..
maybe a browser that needs to have cache cleaned  etc.

too many possibilities to figure..
so whenever anything gets funky..
refresh browser ASAP..if still has  issue
close and reopen Browser ASAP 
I think that clears cache..
I leave my browser open too long  even days if I fall asleep with computer on.
I need to set up my auto close to have my back.. lol


GOOD LUCK ALL

not cool.. so we can't trust the site anymore?


Am I being Hacked?

I have many secure tabs open and  so it is only through Plarium website

this is what it should be and you see the address has no   ?cluster=1&network =14.

so which programmer is in charge of     ?cluster=1&network =14.
are they spying on me?

Hello! Please add https:// in front of the URL. And if you press the "I" button, you should be able to check out the instruction. Let me know if it helps, please. Thanks!

I had this as well. In front of Plarium.com type in


https:// and it will flip to secure. Well, it did for me, any way.

and to press "I" like I did that shows  notice as shown in 1st picture?

Perhaps you meant to be asking me to press "Learn More" inside of the notice I got from pressing "I"?


I did and I followed all troubleshooting wasted a couple hours to no avail

I want to play for fun.. this was not fun..

Much faster to just use VPN      even if it slows the game response down

At least I don't have to worry about being hacked through your game anymore

but it is making me reevaluate playing at all
you know I had to delete brand new email account and original Plarium account
because when I validated I started getting spammed with email invites to Russian porn sites..
so I made another email and started this account and never validated and never got any email invites to any Porn sites

Yeah.. that went over real well with the MRS.

PS still got porno invites through your in game chat so I blocked and disabled.. another  thing that made me put game off limits for my 13 year old and up teenagers.. for shame



and your 3rd party cookies are out of control.. so poof.. gone


if this makes site not work.. So be it.. 

Hello! Thanks for sharing! I'm sorry the instruction didn't help. I'll ask the dev team about it and will keep you updated.

I just began playing Pirates due to boredom at the Thrones game. 


I can not seem to construct cannons and crows nests for some reason? Walls work fine, but nothing can be built on towers or gates? Any help? 


Also I installed the Plarium Play App, it said it was installed, my name appears but it won't run games. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Move your mouse around a bit while "carrying" a cannon or a nest. Somewhat counter-intuitive, these things need to be placed at the bottom, not at the top of gates and towers.

As for Plarium Play, please try to clear the cache. If that fails, fully uninstall it, download it from the portal, and install the newly downloaded one again.

How do you report errors in the game? EX bonus's in the Manufactory. When you get to Lvl 5 you should get 50% manufacturing speed increase but you don't. 50% of 23 hrs is not 15hrs 20 min. So how can you ask if this is wrong.

You can report bugs here, but this is not a bug. You're simply misinterpreting what it says, which is "increased speed", not "half time". As explained here, 50% more speed means 1.5 times the original speed, so the time gets divided by 1.5, which is the same as multiplying it by 2/3, and 23h * 2/3 = 15h 20min.

If you're driving a car at 60 km/h and you ramp up speed by 50% (to 90 km/h), you won't get to your destination in half the time, will you? To achieve that, you'd need double speed (120 km/h).

I hope this clears it. If not, please explain where the problem is and I'll try to help.
