Can't craft additional Haunted crossroads

Matthewfio48

Hello y'all. My Holy Forge is at level 5, but when I try to craft additional Haunted crossroads, I it says "Reach level 4 and unlock haunted crossroads from the act 2 prize track". I am sure I unlocked the haunted crossroads on the prize track. Anyone else having this problem?

Did you win the first haunted crossroad from the Act 2 prizes? If yes then you should be able to craft more

Yes I did get the haunted crossroad from the Act 2 prize track, but I'm still unable to craft more because the Haunted crossroads in crafting locked again. Must be a glitch.

Same here, I had unlocked the crossroads and they have become locked again for some reason.

Also a problem

Same here. I lost all of the check marks from Act 1 and the ones accomplished to get to level 5 and I too have the crossroad locked.

Same here as well. I also lost my check marks.
Note: you can see both the Haunted Crossroads and Big Bone unlocked on the bottom left corner:

We had a similar glitch when the "last event" glitch was at it's height. If this is the same then craft as many level 3 items as you can.
What may be happening is EA unlocks the level 3 crafting but someone else is using an unauthorized model program which may give that unscupluous player (not you) an advantage in his city but he is putting zeroes (or a value converted to zeroes) in your event variables. Zero will turn the event off. I bet if all victims check times it would appear random because each victim has their own unauthorized player.

Fortunately, you are not reporting any symptoms of the last event glitch

This has happened to me too. What are we supposed to do to resolve this issue? datasurgeon, Are you saying someone is hacking people and this is what is causing the issue? I already have the extra security feature on my account where it texts me if someone is trying to log in to my account. I even changed my password not long ago after some suspicious Russian texts where coming in for resetting my password. Everytime I look though, the crossroads item was locked even after having several placed already. I look at different times of the day.

I have the same problem.. it was unlocked, then mysteriously relocked itself again. I am not happy. I definitely want more than one of these.

Speculation on my part but it has nothing to do with your password. Let me try to be non technical has possible.

Consider a sheet of graph paper (they still make them right?). Let say the hackers account is on the first line and your account is on the second line. Each box is a variable that contains a program value which may determine how many pickaxes you have, what you can craft etc.

Let us say that there are 50 boxes in each record. One way of referencing a particular value is the box or field name but the hacker does not know the field name so he does by a number reference.

Most hackers do it by trial and error, if it works, he stops, if it did not work but no harm to his account, the hacker ignores that particular move. While it may not have effected his account, the update went pass his account and update a value on your account. (For example, update field 53, would be the 3rd field on your account)

EA uses MySql database. If the table mode is not set to reject invalid values, it converts them to zero. Zero effectively is an off switch.

So the hacker is not intentionally trying to get into your account, it just collateral damage.
