Estoc Trials - War Exploits

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, Feb 20, 2013.

  1. I am ok with no upgrade after match up till war end but Please also disable allies purchase/sell since you don't allow upgrade just like no outside hit during EE. I got my 400B ally purchase 2 weeks ago during war and I lose 2B+ per hit because i didn't notice right away (news wont tell you right away). I lose more than 10B+ by the time i realized it and upgraded my build. Please reconsider.
     
  2. KaW admin please answer my question. Upcoming EE wars this week I was going to make man statless alts to make my clan reach the members requirement of 30 people. Basically ill get in trouble if I do that? If so plz tell me so I don't do it.
     
  3. I agree with the omet. Ally sales during war serve no purpose. U can't search for another ally properly if you are engaged in war. It only hurts warring players. Our bigger guys get allies bought almost every war. It's just like upgrading. Purchasing allies can also be looked at as a way to exploit strength matchups. And once an ally is bought it creates a chain reaction of buying allies from others engaged in war. But you also should create some grace period where a player isn't stuck with 500b out if an ally bought a few seconds b4 the lock.
     
  4. So what are the "cheats" that are being removed besides what is stated in op
     
  5. Ata won't reverse their decision to punish everyone for 1 person exploiting the ee system for 1 simple reason... You stop the upgrading during an ee war means with the constant lag when an ally is hired a player WILL lose tons of gold being hit, they will also lose tons of gold banking in BB... This opens up atas pockets to be filled with more $$$ so you guys really think they actually care? The decision is set and done just like everyone now is FORCED to ee in order to gain mith on the atas time not the communities
     
  6. Maybe they have CC history that shows bragging of the exploit? Thus implicating the entire clan. I certainly know I have been in wars were it was an open strategy to save upgrades, drop equip, drop some buildings and rebuild during war all to gain an advantage. Either way a war was won unfairly due to an exploit, same as Hax0r builds. They have stepped in to make it fair for all.

    Fair play to the devs, they won't please everyone with every change and mechanic re-program but I bet they please a majority. It's the same accounts day in and day out complaining about how KaW life is unfair. I personally think the devs engage too much with the community.

    Trying to please everyone, attempting to take hundreds of differing opinions and make these fit a mechanic that means fair play for all is pretty hard, if you can do better then get yourself a copy of XCode and step up to plate with your app to rival KaW, then tell the devs they have done a crap job, until then jog on. I think the devs should develop, release and relax they do a great job IMO. Stop trying to please everyone it doesn't work.

  7. SUPPORT FOR iPROPHET AND JAYDE
     
  8. On the question of what should we do to stop allies being bought while doing ee if we are not allowed ug or change builds .
    Easy spend another 4 mith to hide your allies and cross your fingers and toes that there not bought from allies list.
    Not like we can't afford to lose extra mith it's so easy to get.
    Great idea devs I don't belive for a minute it's another way for us to put more cash in yor pocket
     
  9. Agreed graff.... Either spend 4 bill on mith (random price) or loose a good % of gold on quick banking not counting if u get hit while gold is out so its a loose loose for the players win win for the devils...
     
  10. is unequipping before matchup illegal?
     
  11. No it is not. No use though, because it doesn't make a difference.
     
  12. does anyone care what the devs think? they will just continue screwing this game and war system up until everyone decides to boycott use of mith and their ee wars.
     
  13. Is having an alt in another clan matched up "by coincidence" to war the clan your main account is in considered an exploit?

    This happened a few weeks ago. Upon matchup, a certain player actually admitted (and found it funny) that his alt account (who was in our clan) was going to have to fight the clan where is main was in. No prizes for guessing where his (or her, in this case) loyalty is going to be. We couldn't even kick the player or abandon the EE war. And of course my feedback via forums and the "feedback" button fell on deaf ears...(I have screenshots of her confessions in cc, and my conversation exchanges with their clan owner)

    Isn't this a "war exploit"?
     
  14. Man I read most of the posts on this page and it really just sounds like y'all want to complain more than anything instead of whining why don't you try and offer suggestions and help fix issues instead of just bitching about everything
     
  15. Kind of unfair huh? All members of the clan just because of a few members. How is this fair devs? How ate members of the clan supposed to Know if others are "cheating" cause if the did they would probably kick them out.
     
  16. @kaw
    Regarding suggestions on page 22 any chance if a reply. The proposed IMO could actually benefit the matchups and solve issues created by the new changes. Be nice to see some more replies.
    Also feedback section page 4 war clan miss match solution for full war clan proposal. You stated before this may get tried any news on whether that is still an option for the future?
     
  17. Will those of us who were cheated by such exploits be refunded the mithril and crystals we spent in war?

    Last week my clan was winning 34b to 20b in plunder at the half-way mark, but ended up losing due to small stat alts firing off hundreds and hundreds of failed spy actions each by using the land trick.

    I have emailed a request for a refund of mith and crystals, and a reinstatement of our estoc edge, to support.

    We only got two crystals each, yet some of our opponents tiny alt accounts managed to build many guild on new lands, giving them many unloads of spies. I think it is only fair that we get our crystals returned at a bare minimum.
     
  18. I say whole clan takes the hit. I won't believe that owner and majority of admin were unaware of what was going on. Second the account owner is not doing this for the benefit of crappy alt, his/her main is in clan. And finally, the opposing clan got screwed out of their mith expecting a fair and somewhat balanced war.
    Cheaters suck, and hangers on hoping to capitalize on clan mates actions are not innocent.
