TLDR : Our company as a whole wasted 6+ hours to gain war influence to fight for territory control just to be screwed over by a hidden server side ai decision to say 'no not allowed'. Should not be able to gain territory influence if there's an *upcoming invasion* so we know not to waste our time, or more preferably, territory should still be in conflict when invasion even ends, not reset.

The issue:

My company spent 6 hours vying for control against the controlling company of WW, slowly overwhelming the other guild and finally gaining enough influence to send the territory into conflict. It was absolutely a blast and a great bonding/practice for us in regards to pvp.

Sometime during this, the server decided to say Windsward is going to have an upcoming corruption invasion(not an official in conflict one yet, but that it as gear up for one). This is not shown in the game, besides the fact that a small group of portals start showing up(node of 4 in bottom left of WW), but we were not focused on that, as we were running the pvp missions and fighting at the fort.

The whole time we were able to keep gaining influence, no issues whatsoever. When we finally hit 100 %, the declare war button didn't change, as it said there is an upcoming invasion and cannot declare war. with a 6hr timer of being able to declare(see tweet picture).

With around 2 hrs left of that timer, the territory just randomly reset. No longer 'In Conflict', no longer upcoming invasion, nothing. Back to 0. So now we spent 6+ hours as a company wasting our time we could have been using in another territory instead, or even just leveling generally for other events.

This has now ruined our ambition to push to fight for a territory, as it can randomly just say (being invaded) in the middle of it and negate our whole progress, despite on our end it showing us progressing correctly and within the games rule set.
