Impossible to get revenge

[greenday2]

Hi all Folks.

Is it coincidence or I cant get the "revenge" with most of the Korean players? I undestand one can be online/under attack/peace treaty, however it is technically impossible that they are always in these status after I try to get revenge on specific players for 50/60 times several times per day in different time. Again, I have noticed mainly with Korean players.

You will see that for any "asian" players (at least their characters are in korean and some in japanese or possibly chinese) it is ALWAYS impossible to get any revenge.

Revenge works fine with other players

remove your ID asap, post to on PM to moderators ONLY

dunno what exactly can be done by players just with ID, but still, better safe then sorry.

It's not just Korean players. In the past week, I've been attacked by 13 people, each within minutes after my peace treaty ends. Four of these people have names without Asian characters: Marco, didot, kss, Long, Wc9; the rest are all-Asian characters (I have screenshots). I can't revenge any of them; every time I do, it says they are currently under attack, even when I tried revenging every five seconds for a whole hour.

Hi I've been suffered from the same issue - cannot revenge to players under constant 'under attack' state.
I was originally played with my iPhone but recently switched my platform into PC using bluestacks(which is because of damn frequent crashes after updating to iOS 9)
and I found that now I can revenge to those players who were at constant 'under attack'. So my hypothesis is this : there are functional disorder for iOS user to revenge on Android user.
thus I want to ask whether you are iOS user, cuz that may also explain the issues on Korean players(Since occupational rate of Android in Korea is about 90% in Korea as I know)

Players with "asian looking fonts/names" can not be revenged.
I just registered for the sole purpose of saying there is absolutely something going on with this.

I'm really not interested in trying to report individual players on this, (there are simply too many to make it practical to do) but rather to have this bug squashed.
Players with "asian looking fonts/names" can not be revenged.

I do not know if these players are asian, or if its just the font, or maybe its that the ipad's country of origin is set to an asian country, or maybe its a server problem. I do not know. But it would seem it should be fairly easy for Nexon to figure out.
If I can get revenge to eventually work on any other player except for those with asian in appearance fonts/names there is something occurring outside of that player just being particularly active. I have sat and tried over and over again and again and it simply can not be done.

It is kind of disheartening to read this thread and see that basically the issue just gets deflected or nearly derailed from the overall point. So I will just repeat it again.
For whatever reason, Players with "asian looking fonts/names" can not be revenged.
Nexon has the servers, they have the data, they have the means to test and trouble shoot this.
What I don't have is an exact reason why or the ability to figure this out for them. Nor do I have the time to sit and report 50+ individual players across the course of a week.

Damn, i thought you were my alter ego when i read your post. I too just signed up to post the same thing. Been noticing this problem for weeks and sent support a report but figured id google the problem and it lead me here. Im not so sure that its *only* Asian names. I really believe its ANY symbol in either player name or alliance name. There is no way these guys can be attack every single time i try to revenge against them. Peace treaty, user online, fine....but under attack, every single time i try to attack, i doubt it. But ive always been able to revenge players without characters in their name or alliance name. Glad im not the only one to notice this

I have two accounts - one iOS and the other Android. Both are able to revenge one another.

 

[Carsten]

I am in Europe on Android and revenging players with asian characters is impossible.

 

[shedbee]

Hmm then it's more complex problem then I thought

 

[Roy Lee]

Are u going to fix this issue in next update or not?

This won't go down very well, but hey ho...
It doesn't surprise me that players are apparently perpetually placed in a peace treaty.
I reckon that after I have made an attack, put my army in for retraining and then I've left the game deliberately/screen saver, no more than a couple minutes will pass before I am attacked - meaning that I will have a peace treaty.
My time window for playing this game is intermittent interaction over about 16 hours per day. I probably leave myself open to attack about 8 times - so basically, if some one wants to get revenge on me, they've got to get to me in one of those 8 X 2 minutes slots before some other random player bashes me.
And if I go dormant, then there will be only 1 to 3 two minute windows per 24 hours to get revenge on me.
IMO there is no conspiracy of cheating - even if you tried to get revenge on a player by trying constantly to attack without a break for days, you couldn't guarantee that another player wouldn't get let in before you, when that player was ripe for attack!
Oh dear, in the few minutes that I've left my game to write this post, I've been attacked and am now peace protected

 

[greenday2]

being in a peace treaty is different that being under attack. Not necessarily you loose if you have set up properly your defense, hence technically you can be attacked also 4-5 times in a night (been there several times, no problem with that). Again, this is a bug and it affects ALL the asian players. The message "players XXX is in a peace treaty" is totally different from "player XXX is under attacked).

First one is regular, the second is bugged

Members of my alliance and I have had the same experience with Revenge attacks. I don't know that we have noticed it being only with Asian characters in the names or not, but something big happened recently. I agree with the other posts: nobody can be on this game every minute of every day. Besides that, when I'm in the game, I have to constantly respond the the message I get asking me if I'm "still there" and I have to press "reload", which basically clears my screen and starts as if I am loggin in. It is a frustrating issue for all involved, however, it really needs to be addressed .

Could you not have a group of players "beta" the game to track this issue rather than have dozens of unhappy players generalize, or even be specific but it only a couple of players who really "track the issue" with the information you need to solve this puzzle? Those doing the "beta" would track all of the EXACT specifics of the info you need, and they would revenge attack everyone (give the "beta" players a gift of some sort, crowns or gold or food, or whatever). You could do it as "blind research." In other words, have an opposite group of "beta" players with a second account specifically for this issue. They would do the attacking and the game could try different possibilities: non-Asian player use Asian characters/fonts, Asian teams use Asian fonts and non-Asian fonts. It wouldn't take a lot of time to do this if you have dedicated players as attackers and defenders, Asian and non-Asian fonts/teams, etc. 1-2 weeks could give you plenty of data.

Just a suggestion respectfully offered.

I agree with gambrinus. The fact is, most people get hit immediately when they log off, and not by revenge. So people are either active or on pt.

 

[Aurelius...]

This pretty much nails the problem. Revenge doesn't work because people are on pt almost immediately after logging off. So revenge has to work somehow vs. active players. Again, I'd suggest a 'Duel' function in addition to revenge. A player could be challenged to a duel while active.

Allowing revenge vs. people on pt would be a disaster. If someone makes and average of 10 attacks during an active session, they could be revenged 10 times while on pt. Clearly, this wouldn't work.

 

[Aurelius...]

Please, guys, enough with the "Korean players do this" and the "Asian players do that". You're making me nauseous.

 

[Jasonian Empire]

I have no idea if it's a cheating issue or not, but I experience this as well. To my mind, it makes no difference. There is a game function where you are supposed to be able to make a revenge attack on someone that attacks you and it doesn't work 95% of the time.

That is a problem that needs to be addressed and corrected.

 

[Roy Lee]

The problem is fixed. Now I can get revenge on everyone. Good job

 

[Big T]

We have been talking about this problem. What if the problem or cheat isn't in the game, but with somehow getting unlimited crowns? You would be able to attack at will, buy whatever upgrades you want, then buy a peace treaty when not playing. Then throw away the treaty whenever you want to play again because it was free. Maybe this is why 6 of the top 50 alliances are Korean when Korea has only been playing for a few months!

It's not just Korean players. In the past week, I've been attacked by 13 people, each within minutes after my peace treaty ends. Four of these people have names without Asian characters: Marco, didot, kss, Long, Wc9; the rest are all-Asian characters (I have screenshots). I can't revenge any of them; every time I do, it says they are currently under attack, even when I tried revenging every five seconds for a whole hour.

Mine are only Koreans that I cannt revenge, also.. who is "under attacked" for hours on end. Wish theyd fix this stuff cause its still happening.

 

[Radzeer]

If I log out it takes ca 1 min and I have been attacked. As my TC is exposed, the first attacker grants me 8 hour PT. I am playing 2 or 3 TB sessions a day, just after the PT expires. So you have the possibility to get a revenge on me for ca 3 min/day. Which is ca 1/500 in probability. The rest of the time I'm either online or having a PT.
I do not try to get revenge, it is useless, they should simply remove the button for it.
