You are being scouted, You are being scouted, You are being scouted

I feel like a fool for making purchases in this game because half the time I attempt to log in I cant because Im being scouted..... surely the money sucking Nexon could implement a system where players could still log in even if they're getting attacked

You'll most likely find it could be server lag, you were being scouted but on busy times it takes a few minutes to filter down. Whats bugging me laterly is the fact that many of my attackers I cant get revenge on. Seems two or three from last week even are still either "under attack" or have peace treaties. If so their bases must be utter dust & rubble by now from the constant "attacks" or they have one hellofa long PT

When you can't log in due to the fact that You are scouted:
It does not mean for sure that some attacker is starring at your base at that particular moment, but it means your base is in a "queue for attack ready bases" assigned to a certain player looking for an opponent. This queue is destroyed as soon as the player decides to attack any base from the queue, or he reaches the end of his queue and gets a new one.
This is what I think is the procedure in this case: Although your base is in that queue, it gets a flag for not including your base in any new queue for a certain period (5 mins, most probably). Then as soon as the player (in whose queue your base was) skips your base or the queue is destroyed, you can log in, until this flag expires.

I would suggest to do the following: Try to log in. If you get the scouting message wait 3-4 mins and try again. If you still get the message retry immediately, until you succeed. Following these steps I was able to log in w/o any problems in 5 mins after getting the scouting message.

Completely agree, I've given up on revenge because of those 2 points u addressed (constantly under attack or has a peace treaty seemingly forever). The scouting aspect is frustrating.

I agree there should be no delay of me loading and playing this game unless I am being attacked.
Simply there should be no penalty to the player for being scouted and Nexon needs to look at how boom beach has dealt with this.

Its very simple to have scouting available while a person is online and the base only checked when a battle is chosen.
seems too many game killer decisions are being incorporated.

Lets Incorporate things that will make the user put the game down (Turn our game off). YA, that will make us money! ROFLMAO

How do you know this?

I work in the IT doing some similar stuff, although not gaming. Double checked the attack queue with CS some time ago.

yeah it sucks. wished they adopted the same system from clash of clans for this.

I like when I'm being scouted immediately after not being able to log in due to being under attack. Hmmm...
