too early (Pagina 1 van 4)

i agree that one reg ran away too fast... but it would not have mattered... you were outnumbered anyway...   this was what was in the other two slots...

One, Two... many

actually that may be a flaw in the battle code

lets say you launch 14 regs on target, who at the time of launch has 14slots. now during the INC, they move spare runes to somewhere else and consolidate their remaining slots

so now you the attacker has your forces split by 14, the target now can split their forces by 12 or less, depending

2 of your regs arent gonna fight because no slots now available, yet all of theirs will fight because of consolidation

the only way i see to counter this is making slots static again, so they cant be abused by target upon attack,

note: this "bug" would be especially beneficial to those who have outposts, just move the spare runes from the village being attacked to the one that isnt

serious problem that needs addressing

not saying you intentionally decreased your slot size in order to maximize your defense and minimize his offense, just saying it can be done, and hence, needs to be fixed ASAP

dont know how hard it would be to code, but perhaps make targets slots stay same number as they were when attack was launched, and not change to new value till no INC?

I'm not playing on speed so dono what is goin on there but in each and every online game i have ever played, exploiting a bug IS a bannable offence. Why not here to?

Not knowing is not an excuse. Somebody who killed a man can not go to court and ask them to set him free cause he "didnt know its illegal to kill somebody".

Nice, thank you very much.

I think using a loophole in a game is a hair less of an offense than murder.

Furthermore, who said it was wrong?  You?  There are several things I think are wrong to do in this game, but it does not mean any rules are broken.

You are entitled to your opinion.  However, let me explain.

1)  If a village is under attack and has hundreds of runes sitting around, it would only make sense to send them away, however under your definition they are cheating. 

Runes won is a function of total runes in the village, so lets say a village has 200 runes in buildings, and 800 sitting around.  Without sending them out, they can lose up to 100 runes in one battle... ouch!  Now if they trade them all away, they lose 20 and buildings... again not preferred.  Instead let's say they send 750 away, they lose some spare runes and keep all their buildings.  This strategy is a very simple way to mitigate loss, it only makes sense to use it.

Now, with this bug the user may not even realize that there is a bug... let alone be exploiting it.  I myself have seen many battles where they sent large amounts away and never noticed it... it would seem that such drastic cases were needed to show the bug. 

However, knowing or not they are still cheating?

2)  Enforcement.
The issue I have with labeling situations such as this as cheating is enforcement.  There is simply no way to enforce it evenly.  Let's say an account gets reset for doing something like this... how would we prove that they did it?  The closest thing we could do is have moderators looking through as many player's logs as possible in hopes of finding things like this, I for one would prefer that situation not to happen.  And even if a moderator finds this... how do we prove intent, or knowing... and intent is the cornerstone of the western legal system so it is rather important even with a comparison with a human death.

So they are cheaters, but cannot be punished?

When the server was still somewhat fresh these types of events were fun and added an amount of chaos to the game.  There is no way to stop people from doing things like this in the long run without other unpleasantness... it is best to just relax and have fun with them until daed squishes them. 

But really if you want to brand everyone a cheater that's your right.

so let me get this straight they run away too fast?

One, Two... many

ohow he's on to us
lol

I think I have to move.
