Cheating!! is it getting worse??

[jack tar]

recently i have been getting attacked by either korean or japanese players when i try to get revenge i keep getting the "player already under attack" warning!! im not talking once or twice im talking constantly i spent a good amount of time today trying the same players over and over again at no time did they ever show as online or as peace treaty they just showed under attack for a good period of time ie 30 mins.

I rasied this issue with support but it seems they are taking no notice of my reports as i have yet to recieve any responce!!

So im putting it out there does anyone else notice this too?

Yes I have noticed the same. And also people being online all the time, any time of the day, not even in peace treaty. But that's mainly because they can emulate the app on a pc and have a macro that moves the mouse and click on some buildings from time to time.

At lower medal range, I have been able to do some revenge before. At higher medal ranges, forget about revenge. Even if it's a legit player, he will be attacked as soon as he logs off so unless you revenge in that 30s window, he will always either be online, under attack or in peace treaty.

I notice this as well, but not more so from any nation over the other. I attributed to a bug- have no idea whether it's a cheat or not.

This is what I've been dealing with. I can't attack any of them back.

This isn't cheating necessarily. It's likely the result of being in a very busy pool of attackers. Revenge only works when the target player isn't: online, under Peace Treaty, engaged in battle, or queued to someone else. We're working to make it less frustrating.

That's understandable Ironangel, but I've seen these sorts of comments for a while now - and my own experiences over the weekend leads me to believe it's more than just "a busy pool of attackers'. I had 2 attacks on Saturday - both Korean - who attacked me with tanks and one even had 2 x level 30 generals in tanks. (Not saying all Koreans are cheaters - just stating these two attackers happened to be Korean)

I decided to put the revenge to the test - to see if people's comments on the forum were justified and after many mind numbing hours, (over two days) just constantly revenge-clicking, I could not get a revenge on either of these players. Sometimes I received a "XXX cannot be attacked because he has a peace treaty" - which is understandable - but mostly I got back "XXX is under attack". Really? All parts of the day and night?

What is strange (to say the least) is that you would think clicking revenge should, at SOME point randomly over a two day period, give you access to a player that's attacked you. The fact that both brought an A-Grade army - one complete with 2 x lvl 30 Generals - gives one a certain cynicism when it comes to the question "are they cheating".

The other thing that makes me wonder is the lvl of these players. I hope someone can answer a question. One of the attackers was IA with heavy tanks and flametanks plus planes yet was only lvl 68. I've not been playing the game long enough to answer this question:
Is it feasible someone can be IA lvl 68 and have that level army by just grinding away? Or even paying for it?

My pics didn't upload. But there were 5 screens hots of people with Korean writing in names that I couldn't do anything to. And that's just over the last week

Theres a 5 minute window where u can revenge someone during a day. Just ignore revenge. The players gonna either be online, or log off and immediately enter pt so no u cant revenge hardly ever

 

[Ravenlord]

Surely people on the other side of the world go to sleep? And surely not everyone engages a PT just before going to sleep??! Just saying ...

First, players constantly 'under attack' could be banned. It could be weird if you still get attacks from them.

I would not say that cheating got worse. You probably haven't seen how bad it was.

That being said, it is constantly high flooded with semi-cheat/semi-legit bases or clean cheats legalized making purchases and harrasing the top

Out of curiosity, how would something be "semi-cheat" or "semi-legit"? Either something is legal (being 100%) - or it's not (100%).

Unless you're referring to people who don't actively hack the game but maybe still exploit bugs that "just happen" to appear in their game ...? Still not right tho'.

 

[Redgar]

Well, there were multiple stories about players who were banned for clean cheating, but then they wrote to support how much they've spent real money and they were unbanned. This way for 200-300 usd they got 1000+ usd worth bases. Oficially they are legit now, but they are cheats in fact )))

 

[Ravenlord]

"Clean Cheating" ?? Is that the opposite of "those dirty rotten cheaters" ?!!

 

[Redgar]

Obvious was the right word, agree )))

We should always get a prioritized option to revenge, if someone attacks us. This lets it be a little personal. It's fun to compare their base with their army attack strategy.
