Force Close Glitch - how big of a problem is it?

[Tower]

Im in Kingdom I and wanted to do an experiment to see how big of a problem "Force close Glitch" is. For the last 3 months I have been playing with an exposed TC, getting easy PTs from snipers about 1 minute after I logged off... Now I am starting to have a mature IA base so I thought I would put it to the test.
Ive built a base with a strong TC defense and not so strong resource defense - I just spread them out all over the map with some defense buildings protecting them.

At this moment it is 2,5 hr since my last PT ran out of time.. Since then I have been attacked at least 3 times by ppl going for the resources or going for the TC and failed and then force closed the game.
In total Ive lost more than 1.2m gold and 1.2m food. My oil was "empty" so not much oil lost.

To me this is a big problem. The game has three "currencies" - Resources, medals and crowns. Since you are loosing 2 of these because of force close glitch and Nexon wants you to spend real money for the third to compensate - I would say Nexon has a BIG HUGE problem - or perhaps this is their business plan.

Ive contacted CS on several occasions before on this problem, only getting "bla-bla" answers. Guess I have to contact someone else for something to happen

Lord and behold... Just attacked again and another 350k of each lost... That's at least four attacks in 3hrs.. and more than 1.5m lost of each...

Are you reading this Iron Angel? What is being done? How are we to interpret this ongoing problem? Is compensation being discussed?

 

[Tower]

Oh forgot... No still no PT - still no medals lost or gained...

So to sum up my little experiment.

Fr my PT was finished untill I got a new one ca 6hr later fr a guy who got a one star victory
I was attacked at least six time by ppl using force close glitch and lost over 2m gold and 2m food.

Based on this the attack fr the guy just bf my new PT must be some kind of medal masochist since he gave me 4 defensive medals. My first since at least June...

Time to fix the force close glitch - in the mean time i need to start consider using it myself...

I am also considering using it myself... And we must protect the mills and markets in order to at least save some ressources...

Was there seriously no response to this thread from the developers? That is pathetic. I too am plagued by this nonsense and I don't know how anyone can take this game seriously while exploits like this exist. How can anyone be expected to spend money on crowns when there is so much cheating going on?

I think the +1/-39 problem is going hand in hand with the force close...
If you fix the force close, you also have to fix +1/-39 or otherwise tons of players will quit instantly..

Imagine you make one single mistake in opponent choosing and loose more than 2hours worth of medal grinding.
As long as this is not fixed, there should not be a fix for force close...

On the other side, as soon as the +1/-39 problem is fixed, there will be less force closes...

Yep, at higher medals, no point in protecting TC. Nobody will ever allow themselves to lose, so they force-quit. Best to let them snipe it.

 

[Mr Suplex]

I have sadly resorted to exposing my TC, and magically the sniping attacks have ceased, just as the OP described in his thread. I refuse to buy a single crown until the developers fix this issue (and I was considering it to get a few IA level cannons and mortars in my base quickly).

I can understand that the issue can't be fixed, but the lack of acknowledgement from the developers is very disconcerting.

This has been a problem for a very, very, very long time . . . So it must be part of the business model.

Higher medals arent a currency its just a player measured level, higher you get harder your match ups are. Why players drop medals and have a good raid run on lower medal players who hold high resources.

Also if Vault isnt at high level to protect resources or if your holding more than 200k in resources your opening yourself up for those type raids; especially leaving TC and reources not protected.

Myself have changed setups several times draw raiders, motorcyles in for these type raids; they loose dont get a star win and loose 34-41 raiders each attempt. Rewarded with gain medals and crown win bonuses fact they can close app after raiding couple items doesnt work on other players end all time it crashes on them as well.

Raiding players for full victory your going get store goods and more resources then them as well better experience when alliance wars come around.

Those other players doing this show in alliance wars they are one in #2-15 attacking players #20-40 and getting 1-3 stars or loosing fight. Due fact they suck at battles due fact they think ridiculous opt out raiding can be done in Wars.

They arent going to address this when they are back logged with complaints of glitches in game from chat screens; game crashing during battles. Players who cant be addedd to alliance wars and the new addition of cheats and hackers from the newly added countries. They are not showing any priority or since urgency with those reported issues.

Long run this is not even something that merits a priority in list of bugs and cheating issues. That is why this has been going on for over 8-10 months.

Funny thing about the force closing issue, I never knew about it until I read it on the forum. I just thought my traps were faulty when it happened to my base.
