Players "online" 24 hours 7 days a week.

[Aussie guy]

How many of you have run into the situation of being attacked by players and when you go to do a revenge on them they happen to be "online"...usually for hours? I'm not talking about a peace treaty or being under attack...but actually "online". A few attackers seem to remain online for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! This appears to be the same exploit that some players were using in "Clash of Clans". It means that these players never get revenged while they are "online", never turn up on your attack screens because they are "online", but can attack you several times by cycling through their own attack screens whenever they want. Hopefully this game exploit will be fixed soon.

...but can attack you several times by cycling through their own attack screens whenever they want.

Not an actual thing.

You pay 400 coins, don't like the look of the opponent, end the battle, pay another 400 coins...keep going until you get your online player...an actual thing...but not the main issue I am raising. My issue is that there is a weakness in the "online" part of the game. If you are online you can't be attacked...if you are online 24 hours a day...you can NEVER be attacked. I'm top 30 been attacked multiple times by two of the top 10 players. I can never revenge them because they are constantly online every time I check. This has happened for more than a week. They never have treaties, they are never under attack...they are simply "online". Those players have NEVER turned up on my attack screen either. Most of the top players play fair, but a few are definately exploiting an "online" weakness in the game. It's also been done in Clash of Clans, and those players got banned.

I'm just wondering if other players have experienced the same never ending "online" statuses of certain repeat attacking players? Anyway, I will sending an email directly to Nexon, as they will be the only ones who can check this sort of thing. My intent is to raise this issue that I have experienced while playing the game...I'm not aiming to start a witch hunt of cheats, as inevitably honest players can get targeted, and that's not fair.

As a reference, top players in CoC tend to invest a significant amount of time in order to actually stay on top.
Perhaps these players do too.

Agreed, I suppose the 'next match' cycle does get significantly shorter higher up in the ranks.
Andy mentioned the concept of intentionally keeping your medal count lower, also a common practice in CoC.

For all we know, Nexon may very well be fully aware of this but simply haven't found a way to close the loop yet.
Personally, some straightforward feedback on the matter from the community manager would be helpful.
We're in beta, you can always wipe the entire forum for the official launch, who cares. : )

Yea i know exactly what you mean Aussie guy. Those players use a peice of software that clicks the screen (they play on their pc not on a mobile device). I've seen it on other games like coc and castle clash. I know which players your talking about their guild is bent on breaking the rules for their own advantage. Mods aren't interested in doing anything it's even possible they are involved...

All you need is a rooted phone and you can use an automated clicker app

Interesting Ionass, thanks for sharing that bit of info. Apparently Clash of Clans had a system, where a player who was online non-stop for more than six hours would be disconnected from the server. I wonder if this could be put in place for this game. The multiplayer battle mode is already full of bugs and glitches, and this sort of exploit, if it's allowed to continue would be enough to end my interest in the game. I'm not a hacker or cheater, I'm just someone who likes to play fair and who has spent money on the game. Nexon needs to ask themselves if the future of this game lies in the hands of cheaters or money paying fair players?

 

[Whatwhat]

The future of this game is with players like Aussie guy who spend money and play fair. From what I can observe do far it seems like nexon is unwilling to do much about cheaters and bug exploiters. This will cause alot of p2p to leave and the game will fall flat.

 

[neoncity]

Unwilling, or perhaps not yet able to.
Assuming the worst is easy, although granted, there has been some lack of transparency here on occasion.

Aulia, if you're reading this thread, would you happen to have anything specific to comment on the matter?
It's been rather quiet lately and we áre being kept somewhat in the dark here..

Thank you in advance.

P.S.: Gents, perhaps we ought to also keep in mind that this thread is most likely a duplicate and/or derivative of yet another thread.
So, the more decentralized the topics, theoretically, the longer it could take to get a reply.

Just a thought.

Most of TopDominators alliance are using exploit cheats to be online all day, lets hope the creator bans them soon.

 

[Whatwhat]

They won't get banned. But this game just becomes more and more of a joke as basically all the top players are cheats and nothing is being done about it.

It is a app players are using with auto clicking to keep you online like somekind of fake peace treathy while sleeping. But still it wont help for internal server errors and when wifi disconnects. It might be good to add a check after 1 hour of straight online playing with somekind of popup were you have 3 options random and have to click the stay online button while the other 2 buttons will disconnect you.
