Revenge "PLayer under attack"

[LordJestix]

I find it very interesting that a player im trying to get revenge on has been "under attack" for the past 20 minutes. Ive tried attacking him about every other minute or so.

Man as far as i know i had this issue since 2015. Ive never got revenge. Because it would never let me. Gave up 3 years ago lol seem as it still dosnt work

I don't try for revenge attacks often, but probably 90% of the time it says "player is online," "player is currently under attack," or "player has peace treaty."

I assume it's mostly because of grace periods. See it yourself, try revenging someone you can revenge but choose to opt out of revenging them, then try to revenge them immediately again -- you will see you cannot because the game says "they are under attack" when clearly they shouldn't be. This is a grace period to prevent people from locking others out of the game with the "you are being scouted" message. So if you are constantly being encountered by the "they are under attack" message when trying to revenge then it is because they are probably in the raid pool and being scouted by other players or have been scouted recently. I'm not sure however if by trying to revenge them and encountering the "under attack" screen that you actually increase that grace period.

By the way, the grace period is about five minutes (from my personal test of it).

My timing must be atrocious then. I was trying to revenge this guy ever minute or two for around 30 minutes before i gave up.

I find that the message means they are under attack (less likely) or they are attacking someone (most likely). So someone who is constantly raiding and you try and revenge will trigger that message. I dont think they make any distinction of being attacked or attacking with that message. The reason I can tell this is the message will eventually switch to they are online occasionally when they are not attacking and go back to they are under attack when they attack again.

JMoney as got it!

When you get the 'player under attack' notification, it doesn't always mean they're actively under attack. When a player hits the attack button, we pull a small queue of players (5 to be exact) that are all having their bases 'scouted' You can't revenge attack them during this period, and you may have seen this notification when trying to log in if it's happened to you.

Thanks for that info. I was always curious
