We were experiencing problems with our image servers so battles were broken today for a short while. We apologize for the inconvenience. They have since been fixed.
If you're still having trouble, please don't hesitate to e-mail us again but please include your pet name so that I can investigate your account personally.

Inappropriate?I am also having this problem. I've been stuck on the same battle for over 48 hours now. Refreshing does nothing, I don't have the option to use the back or forward buttons-- basically I can't do anything until I complete this battle, but I can't because none of the buttons respond.
I'm running on a new MacBook Pro and this is frustrating as all hell-- I can't play my game!!

I'm having problems, too--as soon as I go to battle somebody, the page comes up blank. The only way I can fight is from my iPhone. I can't go anywhere on the internet pages, but if I re-login from my iPhone, I go straight to the battle, and THEN it works just FINE. The rest of the website seems fine. Sometimes I'll get "loading..." on a dark gray backround with the EPW logo, but it never loads. So I just have to use my iPhone.
I have a MacBook. I just installed OS X Snow Leopard, and even though a lot of things work better, this website is acting funky. Of course, I haven't been to the site for a while until just after I updated to Snow Leopard, so it might just be the new battle format, period. I've tried both Safari and Firefox, and they both do the same thing. Why is the battle system so buggy? There should be a setting for users to go back to previous ones if the new ones aren't working properly for them. Other sites have features like that. This site is big enough to be offering something like that, too.
Look, I started EPW on my iPhone, and I still love playing it there. But I'd really, really, REALLY like to be able to battle on my COMPUTER, PLEASE!!! -

Inappropriate?I know a lot of people having this problem, it is NOT OUR COMPUTERS it is the new battle mode. i
I've tried clearing it from other computers and it doesn't work.
I’m pissed off
-
Inappropriate?Actually-- It IS our computers. The most consistent complaint is coming from Macbook users. People with PCs and iMacs are having less issues with the new battle mode.
(Totally agree with you on the retroactive battle mode, Evie!)
I have been talking with Miraphonic and they are working on it-- hang in there, people!
I’m cautiously hopeful?

I have a pc and i know of a few others with pc and they are stuck in battle mode with nowhere to go

If you can wait long enough (it was over 24 hours for me), the battle will time out and you will eventually find yourself back on your home screen. Just don't battle anyone (I know, and don't progress, and don't have fun) until they fix this nasty beeotch of a problem.

Uh, Drew? I think we're handling a different issue here. I believe you about the image servers being down--there were times when NOTHING came up at all--but this is different.
Maybe some people aren't experiencing problems, but a lot of us are. I doubt it's an individual account problem.
The only bug-free way to play right now is on the iPhone. Even some PCs are having other problems, as you can see. So that is the only way to play. There's the truth for you.
Our Battle Mode issue is probably actually MULTIPLE issues. There's too many variations in complaints. -
Inappropriate?Hey Drew,
thanks so much for keeping us posted. I am not sure what the image servers would have to do with this new battle mode problem, but here is my experience.
I normally play on an Iphone, works fine and is great on the go.
PC, I noticed the battle mode changed, and has been a fine transition.
Macbook, The battle mode shifts down a smidge and seems to disable all buttons on the page, locking me in this page until I go to a PC or ipod to finish the battle. This happens on FF 3.5 or Safari. I have all updates to safari FF 3.5 and Adobe.
I did notice today that I put myself in negative investments and when I went to battle mode I got a message saying "you are negative, consider changing that or you will lose money..."
That message while in battle mode causes the same problem on the PC as I get on the macbook. All buttons become disabled and I am unable to finish the battle.
AS far as our macbooks, it is our computer, but it is a compatibility issue that needs to be addressed. The message about negative investment on the PC causes problems with that same issue.
I hope this helps. My character is phaluswhale, nyeyrlk. PM me if you want me to help out any way. I have done plenty of testing of websites and will help anyway you need. Screenies etc.
cant wait to see a fix!
I’m happy that they are looking into this, though not fixed.

I do think the image servers have something to do with it; although you don't see what's loading or "connecting" down in the left hand corner when you browse with Safari, Firefox DOES show what it's doing--and it kept saying, "read image.somethingorother." It was as though it was trying to load but never did.
Last night, though, I DID see, at least, the buttons at the bottom for "Attack," "Items," "Settings," "Run Away," etc, and I could hit them, too. I also heard the sound effects sometimes. But when it tried to load the "YOU WON!!!111!!eleventyone!!!!" or whatever it is, the page was blank. I just refreshed, and found under messages that I had just beaten my opponent. I couldn't see what was happening or what our HPs looked like, though, so it was kind of a shot in the dark...
Well, I'll try it again and see what happens. If I freeze up, I'll just bring EPW up on my iPhone and finish the battle that way. -
Inappropriate?Well, I tried on Safari. The battle came up!!!!... and none of the buttons were pushable, even though the pointer turned into the hand over them. So I went there on Firefox. The battle came up!! And I COULD push buttons!! But just as I was about to finish the sucker off... it FROZE. And even though I technically beat the guy, too, since the spell I fired had already been issued and would have killed him, the battle page is saying that "you can't do anything until you complete the battle." I would've thought that victory would've gone through... if I pick it up on my iPhone, it'll probably be the turn where I kinda-sorta-not-really beat the guy, and I'll just enter the same action again... and that'll be it.
Well... it's SORT OF better.
But the problem is NOT fixed. And honestly, I don't see how an iMac with the same browsers and mechanics would be able to run while a MacBook can't. It's kinda rediculous.
I’m IRKED.

Yep. Finished the battle on the iPhone. But it DIDN'T work the way I thought it would. It's like my turn got erased--I lost my turn and the spell I used--and I came in more damaged than I was when I left, like THAT GUY got a freaking turn in somewhere or something. It was weird. And I lost. That guy just made like 35,000 from winning a passive fight. The beestard.
Yep... I hope this gets fixed soon. -

Inappropriate?i can fight ok but i dont get the right values for the items that i use. i play the game on firefox on my pc.
I’m angry
-
Inappropriate?i play EPW on firefox browser on the pc, i have no problems battling but when using items i do not get the value they are worth. i used watermelon and only got 1500?
I’m very unhappy

Inappropriate?Like bAd_Boy28, I can fight in the new battle mode, but items are not reflecting their properties when used at least sometimes. EX: just had a battle today in which I tried to use Snapper Nigiri (restore 9,000 hit points, battle useable) four times with different results! Twice, no hit points were restored, twice, less than 1,000 hit points were restored. I tried Orchid Vial -- also with mixed, albeit more reliable results.
I also don't like the fact that this battle mode does not allow me to send a message to my opponent after the battle concludes.
Drew: primary pet is Kiprhyn, but Item use has been unpredictable with ImOkayUraMoron, too. Haven't noticed so much with my other (lower-level) pets.
This has occurred while using a PC (WinXP Pro, fully updated) and Google Chrome.
I’m irkipated

Inappropriate?If you haven't noticed, it happens on your last attack, so you know you're victorious. But wait 4-10 seconds, and he will attack. You getz it all. Teh shardz, moniez, etc. :D
I’m confident.
