Tired from Ghost attacks...

So if I leave the game for like 20 mins I find the following each time:

- traps are triggered
- blessings/generals are in place
- no attacks logged
- no peace treaty
- resources, it's hard to say, but it looks like they are not lost too much

Also, often my inactive generals having a recovery like they've been used in attacks or tactics disappear.

And of course troop sending bugs... Like progress bar is showing me I have some, while I don't. And, crash at the end of training blessing... It came to the point when I know when its going to crash...

These bugs are here for quite a long time and ANY freakin QA would see them. It still like a beta, really.

I agree that 'ghost attacks' are pretty dumb, but crashes should be fixed and/or the battle continues after app close before fixing ghost attacks, personally.

Okay, so I suspect that those are people who lost their wallbreakers on traps and closed app. This is just great. If you're loosing a battle and need medals, just close app and you're fine? ;)

Yep, you can literally close app to prevent losing medals. And you still get the loot, just no league bonus, but then players who have devices that crash on dominations will be punished if the battle won't continue after a crash/force close, assuming the devs don't make crashes less of a problem before fixing force close ghost attacks.

Top players do this in order to prevent a loss. They lose troops, but grab your loot and open your traps. This really needs to be fixed

This is a double edged sword. I'd be very careful encouraging them to fix this sort of thing. Given the tragic history of anything else they've tried fixing, this one scares me the most. Think about how buggy this game is and the amount of times your game has crashed or caused a connection error. Nothing would be worse than having them go overboard with this and start banning people for simply losing connection. I'm really far more concerned about the guys attacking me with 2 level 30 generals, 5 tactics and completely maxed out everything.

Agree, Madfury. Does anyone knows how it's been sorted out in CoC? I don't think they will ban, but they may take medals away... More frustration of course after crashes, but this cheat became massive.

Another way to go is to make traps autorechargable or a blessing doing that, idk

I agree with MadFury, game crashes at 3 times per day with me for example.. Would be unfair to get banned or even lose medals. I think the best thing to do is not allow resources or goods to be stolen and stored unless the battle is over. And ofcourse generals to be used, blessings and traps as well.

couldn't a player then just do an attack and if he thinks he's going to lose, exit the game and try again?

Yep, I think alot of hi medals players exploits this one, especially after such huge medal losses update. Also, traps become kinda useless because it becomes massive. And may be it even gives you resources you took, lol. It needs double check, tho.

I reported this issue on these forums back in March. I have also submitted CS reports...including screenshots of opened traps and ambushes, after requests for Screenshots. I got a response saying that you guys were aware of this issue and have no fix at the moment. If I had to send a report for each ghost attack, it would be a daily event.

Oh, so all you need to do is to attack max IA base, take 10k oil and close the app. Awesome game, indeed ;)

I've had a few ghost attack on myself. It's rather annoying. What I don't get is my replay shows them having a 3 star victory, yet my report shows them getting 5 stars. So what is it? Three or five stars?

Rather annoying.

Wrong replays is another bug. when ghost attack happens, you just don't have it logged at all, but loose resources and traps.

Yes, I know the difference. Both have happened, just expressing another annoying bug along with the ghost attack.

Agree, it's annoying, but this closing app cheat is a game changer setting your resource protecting defences useless, traps completely useless, resource colleting/medals mainteining MUCH easier.
