Replays are not wrong!

[Landsknecht]

After building a new base in atomic age I check every replay to find out weak points of that base. More and more I discover differences between replays and summaries. In EVERY case the summary shows a bader result for me than the replay. I think you guys know what I am talking about. And when you contact the support the one and only answer is, that the replays are wrong.

No they are not!

This is why:
1. I could not find even one replay of MY attacks, which did not match the real course of attack.
2. When you watch a replay with correct base, correct opponent's name, correct troops dropped and with full lenght of attack time, why (and how) should it show a different fight which results in less stars than in summary?
3. Today I watched a replay in which my opponent used Protect tactics two times, but summary shows only one time use. But 2nd Protect tactics were used absolutely correct in replay. I would have used it the same way. How to program such a bug, if it is one???
4. In another replay I was 5-stared by an opponent just using 77 british MPs. I know that they have got a huge range, but you cannot 5-star an atomic age base at level 195 with just MPs. It is impossible! And the replay showed the real result with a 3-star-victory only.

Is there any doubt, that Nexon's support is kidding us by telling us, that the replays are wrong?
I think, they have got a problem with the summaries. And to prevent from giving too much crowns for free as a compensation for that, they claim, that the replays are not correct.

What do you think?

And IF the replays are wrong WHY are they available in the first place. I mean, what´s the point with replays if they are NOT accurate?

Replays are not ALWAYS correct, especially on some bases with some troops/tactics

I have no oil wells, so the only oil I have is what've i raid. The total I lose ties with the summary, not the replay, when there is a difference. I believe the summary, not the replay.

I have had replays of my attacks that were wrong. So there is that. Replays especially seem to have an issue with betrayal. I suspect your replays are better because you don't use betrayal.

EDIT: Also to turn your first point on its head, have you ever had a summary that was wrong? Or is the game just favoring everyone else?

ONE MORE EDIT: Just rewatched an attack of mine that was wrong. One I had watched before. Had a different result from the last time I watched it.

Replays are more often wrong then correct. Reason: the game only stores the player's input from an attack, not the actual course of events.
There is one random element in replays: The spawning of forrest defenders. As a butterfly effect, this will change the course of events dramatically.
(rerun a replay several times, you will see the events unfold differently)

The "summary" as displayed in your logs, that is the actual correct outcome of the battle.

They said that with the 5.1 update it would have been improved, but I havent noticed any change.

Even if they are wrong some of the time, they still give valuable info how the attacker attack, where he started...

 

[k3rb3r05]

Replays are wrong. Today I was attacked, just once; summary says 1.7k oil, replay says 0. Upon loging in, both of my generals were alive on catsle, while replay shows them taking dmg. On replay, troops died on outer wall. BUT, there was a trap that had sprang next to the oil, so obviously they breached 2 walls, sprung the trap, and destroyed castle (before my generals got deployed) to get to that oil.

Yes, I noticed differences between battle log and replays. The replay shows that a 3-star attack (67%) while battle log shows a 4-star attack (87%). The replay shows that I lost 1.1 K Oil while battle log shows that I lost 2.4 k Oil. I contacted the support team and got the same answer: "Replays are wrong". :/ . I am not sure how the support people are qualified when they can't understand a simple point.

I dont understand it. You say the replays are wrong, customer support says the replays are wrong. How is that not understanding the point? Fact is, replays are wrong.

Nope, I was saying replays may be wrong but not always. In the case mentioned above, the battle log is wrong not the replay. The battle log shows a 4-star attack while replay shows a 3-star attack. Fact is the battle log was incorrect.

How do you know the battle log was incorrect, and not the replay?
