The Battle Coliseum is broken.

You can start or reenter a battle but when you try to make a move it doesn't load the result. If you reload the battle page it shows that weapons and the spell were used (if you used a once per battle weapon or spell its gone from your battle options) but there is no change to the pet or challenger state (health bars, battle text, freeze or other special icons).

I removed all my CSS battle related code and it made no difference. I tried to battle on Edge desktop and Edge app for Android and it neither worked.

Probably just a symptom of everything else that's currently messed up but wanted this noted for when stuff starts getting fixed.

Unfortunately I have to confirm that! (Opera)

Amusing thing: I'm having Ether in the set I used, the constants don't vanish, plus with every refresh, the Ether does produce a legendary!

I hope you are taking all this and the lag over the last 2 weeks in account and give us a few extra days for the throwback challengers, even though I won't have too much time now, because the (mostly wasted) 2 weeks I took off to have more time for battling are over now..

I bet battling is messed up because the Healer is on Kumos and not Legacy.

Same here. I'm bad about waiting till last minute to battle challengers before they go away. Hopefully they keep the throwback challengers around a couple more days till this gets resolved.

The healer moved a couple of days ago - I only noticed, because I wanted to use it after battle and couldn't. And I battled until late into the night yesterday. Only this morning I woke up to Subeta's visual distortion and the weird battle situation.

Shortly I hoped it might be a computer or browser thing - My daughter went into a fight and it worked for 2 rounds,.. then it broke for her, too.

edit: Why the heck are the quotes so huge?!?

This layout thing on top of all the other trouble is giving me a real headache.

edit again

guiding you here, so you see, you are not alone in this - not that it'll help, rofl

Ziva I&;m not able to replicate, I was able to just knock out a few opponents. Can you tell me the pet you used, and the weapons? I&;m thinking it might be custom weapons in particular.
Intricate Energized Helmet Volatile Energized Mech Soma Tablets Recycle Blaster Thunderball Captured Eternal Flame

all one use and thus were used up without doing anything

then came the constants Hand of Goddessbane The Ether (which duly produces a Legendary, each time the page is refreshed)

Thanks for sacrificing your Weekend on this!!!!

None of y'all are alone in this! I'm working through this now, just making sure I can get a set of weapons to put in my testing framework to make sure they go through.

The TLDR (and I'm hoping this makes folks here happy!) is that I was able to finally get the underlying programming language on legacy upgraded, which means there is no longer a ticking time bomb of it just suddenly not being able to be supported. That means that updates can happen on legacy without feeling like I'm going to break the entire world, which means there will be a lot less pressure on getting everyone moved over to Kumos tomorrow.

Which came with some of the very oldest and most untouched parts of the site (like battling) having some errors that need to be handled one by one, but they're relatively easy and well documented, so I'm just knocking them out.

This is the BEST news ever! happy dancing And reverting most parts to the normal layout so fast also is a big relief. A lot of us were very worried. Thank you!!!

i am battling for the first time... in a long time, but have made a lot of fixes that should be getting at least some battles through, and have more fixes incoming.

upgrading to PHP 8 from our version was a huge lift, and also means that a lot of things that were marked as "going to be an error in the future" or "will break in a year" have come true! so it's just a matter of knocking them out one by one, so i'm just equipping random weapons/scrolls and trying them - so if you have ones that don't work let me know and I'll add them to my list.

hahahahahhahaha okay, i'm fixing these now but what it's coming down to, is that in programming languages you typically "type" a variable, so you might say

$damage is a variable holding the amount of damage that a pet has done, and you would call it an integer to say that it's a number. in the super old PHP code that powers battle, everything is a string, which was fine then. now it tries to actually do string processing on it, and errors.

so i'm just changing everything to helpfully be an integer, but this seems to be the issue and is an easy fix!

Old battle: I no longer need to refresh to be able to press "make your turn" again, but nothing happens at all. When I then refresh the page, I have the same number as clicks of the Legendaries added at once...

I tried "old normal weapons" - Shinwas Short Sword & Reborn Icewand of Doom - no reaction, on the third try I disabled the Scroll (Ocean Currents) and the weapons worked.

Then I tried the in the thread above listed set without the scroll. 1st round Intricate Energized Helmet & Volatile Energized Mech - nothing 2nd round Thunderball and Captured Eternal Flame resulted in a normal turn with full icons, text, Curse/Blessing activation.

Tried some other weapons, that did not work. Gift of the Forj Scroll was no problem.

So it's certain weapons and certain scrolls, that cause the trouble?

edit - while I battled and typed, you asked for the weapons, that don't work: Intricate Energized Helmet Volatile Energized Mecha Prodigys Eyeball Cursed Liquid Fire Torch Jelly Magic Recycle Blaster Hand of Goddess Bane The Ether Tainted Keeper Skull Staff Malerias Cursed Arm Bangle Tempestuous Bladed Gauntlet Possessed Bow Manifesting Weapon

Trying them out one by one I found another weirdo: I can equip the same weapon in both slots!

These are all the weapons I have in my 5 sets at the moment and more that don't work - even though some are pretty old - than usable ones...

number_format(): Argument ($num) must be of type int|float, string given in items.php:693

Hahahahha, that's an example - it's passing strings around and then wants to use them as numbers! In this case it was any % on healing that was causing the problem. I'm pushing up a fix for that particular problem now, while working through the rest.

omG, I'm so sorry - viewing this on Kumos now, since Subeta is more (basically completely) down than Kumos this morning - this is a good example of the weird not working line breaks here - my list of weapons doesn't have commas, because I wrote them one underneath the other and here they are a terrible hodgepodge of words, I hope it helps nevertheless!

Going to work now and hope to find Subeta running again, when I return in the afternoon. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed (for you).

I too was able to battle. Super lag but that's no different than the rest of the site. Should we post on this thread or somewhere else if we find any broken weapons?

Thanks for fixing this! [Edit]You Won! You have defeated Gelatin Stomper 34 times! No she didn't, this was win 14 for this pet so something is off. Pet is Khona. She was also my messed up battle pet yesterday so it could be recording those weird fights as wins maybe?

Rain Sylph is giving me weird numbers for the Pets that hadn't battled before - 11 or even 200smthg, when I just wanted to do the 10 first battles for the remaining pets...

Do you think you're seeing your account total wins? would that make sense, or would that number be too low?
