Glitched Invasions

[Edward Edgemenace]

So you finish your invasion, defeating Jolly Roger and start server-hopping. You arrive at a server where there are two enemies spawning on each beach

On Tortuga, the "East Wall Barricade" or the "West Wall Barricade" must fall within 1 hour and 15 minutes of the invasion start, or Jolly Roger will magically appear and claim victory, without ever materializing nor attacking.

Port Royal is "Kings Run Barricade" or "Farmer's Row Barricade."
Padres del Fuego is when any of the 3 "inner" barricades fall. "South Wall Barricade" or "Outcast's Den Barricade" or that other one.

Whichever type of invasion; when the inside barricade falls, Jolly Roger appears on the beach. Defeating him then, you can still get a moderate invasion bonus.

When an invasion is glitched, the only thing to do, is switch servers. Sticking around guarantees you get less rep per minute, than if you go somewhere and grind weapons.

Those of you who choose to stay, can let those 2 enemies attack the barricades on one side. However, with each passing minute, more n00bs arrive and immediately attack them. This sets you back 2 to 4 minutes until those enemies are able to get to the barricade and start attacking it again.

The n00bs doing this type of attacking, do get a tiny amount of rep for each kill. So with dramatic flair, they invariably will continue to attack the low level enemies for +2 rep each, somehow thinking they are doing you a favor.

Worst of all, after an hour and 15 minutes, they will see that they got 400 rep (plus zero bonus) and think to themselves "wow!" Note: when I grind weapons, I often get an average of 1,000 rep every 10 minutes. None of them realize how hideously bad that actually is, in terms of rep.

One tactic some people try, is to whisper to n00bs to attack only one side, while superimposing their pirates on the enemies (so that the red dots do not appear on-compass.) But with each passing minute, more n00bs arrive.

Are glitched invasions fun? Invariably, they are confrontational, unpleasant and dissatisfying for everyone involved.

Has anyone determined what glitch CAUSES the invasions to go awry?

Has anyone found a better way to defeat a "trigger barricade" to activate Jolly Roger, during a glitched invasion?

Does anyone know why Disney won't fix this? Do they consider it "fixed" because they have the 75 minute time-limit?
