Oh and in before the lock :D
Had they patched it when it was new, I doubt anyone would complain. Allowing it to go on for over a year while they 'monitored' it seems to be the problem. I was unaware it was a glitch. It has been common gameplay for as long as I have been on my current server... well over a year. A lot of money was spent by a lot of ppl who likely were similarly uninformed, like myself.Quote:
Its simple. Someone found out it was possible to have multiple queens and then everyone started exploiting it. They didnt mean for this to happen so they patched up the bus. Stop being a bunch of babies and get over it. If you dont like it go cry to another damn game.
Curious.. Can anyone link me to the notice that should have been posted about an error with Royals warning us of a flaw that allowed them to be capped? Is it somewhere in the ToS?
Yeah except, like other people, you're mislabeling this as a bug. What you described was a bug and an obviously unintentional and undesired consequence that truly does create an unlevel playing field. Capturing people's heroes has been a game dynamic for as long as I've played Age II and certainly even before then.
I was not effected by this "patch" but that doesn't make it ok to **** off people who spend ungodly amounts of money on this game. A real game designer should take to heart a community's outpouring of positive or negative support but it seems that Evony's staff has no interest in that.
regardless of whether evony intended for the capture of kings and queens to be a part of the game doesnt change the fact they knew for well over a year this was the case, are they that incompetent that they cannot fix a "bug" in the game, no, when we can build troops for 4 hrs with ques rolling at the same speed so 10x the amount... it was fixed within hours, the fact that the capture of kings and queens has been a part of this game since na1 opened to na34 proves they exploited their player base to then "remove" the said bug after ppl used real money or game cents to get what most considered a part of the game. happy or not live with it or not doesnt make it right. At the very least compensate the players who lost their royals from this said bug instead of just taking them from the players that gained them , then ur idea of fair may be somewhat true
I want my money back for all the cents i spent on all royal capping and Excalibers i was using on them at the time they were taking from me!
Join my cause in boycotting spending:

It wasn't a glitch. There were 30 threads on it for 19 months. Just because you call something a glitch, doesn't make it so. Stop babbling already-destroyed talking points.
There are also 100 real problems to fix before this invented one.
There is also the lazy way in which they fixed it. For starters on colonize-only servers noobs can't lose their queen unless they want to, because you can only lose it in an HC, which most noobs don't have and which you can always keep filled with heros you are willing to lose. Hunting royals in Inactive HCs was one of the dwindling number of things to do on colonize-only servers. They could have refrained from this dumb fix on these servers (like they refrained from adding the attack button to them).
The bottomline is that part of the game became hunting for them. This provided much-needed entertainment considering many other aspects of the game are seriously bugged and will not be fixed (because evony is ignorant about how their game is played).
This kind of change should have been made to new servers going forward, only. It would be announced, known, and people would know what they were getting. The imaginary people that were supposedly being harmed (and to be sure, they are imagined or ridiculously exaggerated) could move to the newer servers, or even the colonize-only servers and keep their queen out of HCs. Everyone would be happy, or at least way way way more people than are currently happy. Of course, Evony is too ignorant of their own game, and obviously arrogant (see Comrade Stalin, I mean Thalin, closing threads in under 5 minutes for exposing the uncomfortable truth) to choose a sensible solution.

Opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So a player caps a city defended by a Queen.. Wakes up the next day and notices he has 2 Queens now.. He realizes he just captured the players Queen and is thrilled. Buys xcals for her levels her up rest of the way until one day its stripped from him along with the months worth of xcal he put on her because hes abusing the game and exploiting..
Nothing about capping a Royal would in anyway be perceived as a game flaw by anyone.. I have never seen one thing readily available and common explaining this issue.. Now you have your goons pointing fingers and trying to bully people into believing the fault lies with us.. You are either morons or you think we are.
Opinions opinions opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Why would you buy excals for a capped queen?
Either way IBTL
But I'm sure about 5 more threads will pop up.
Yes but it was I who made it cool, many years ago.
I will end all of these age 2 players.
Quite obviously, alot of players may quit over an exploited bug - and in some cases, those Queens had Excalibur enabled. Simple fact is, two wrong's don't make a right.
Wrong's:
1, Capping the King/Queen (Exploiting the bug);
2, Using Excalibur/Wealth of Nations/Art of War and putting that hero(s) to your advantage;
Right?
1. Evony enforced the Terms of Service.
Best hero to put xcal on besides an att HH for Q'ing. Do you even play this game? Ohh and I didn't I was just creating a scenario to show how it would be impossible for anyone to know that capping Queens was not intended and how criminal it was for evony to do as they did.
What is with the trolls here? Never been to a forum where hired trolls stood guard 24/7 to try and negate bad press. Try answering our questions and concerns with legitimate responses instead of having a team of refreshing wierdies stalk everyone.
So Evony should let you guys keep your heroes until Excal runs out...OH WAIT THAT WONT WORK. Cause people will continue to buy excal so they never lose a hero. Hmm, honest people we got here :rofl:
OK----.... glitch or not, i spent time building the troops to take the royals. I spent cents on advanced teleporters to get to the royals, i lost troops, and excals in the process. time spent, ports used, excals used, troops dead... there are many costs involved with this.
this is a load of crap. if it were a glitch, then they should do the right thing, as stated above, " its been normal game play ever since i started playing evony.
i want my:
time back
my lost troops back
my advanced teleporters back
my exxcals back
--- and i should!

Using them to exploit a glitch is the dishonest thing to do :)
The next thing they are gonna tell us is capping player cities was also a glitch and once again we are dirty cheaters for committing such horrible crimes.
Lets not forget the glitch that allowed us to log in.. Evony never intended players to be able to play their game and are outraged we used the login glitch to play.
im saying tho, exploit..... MY AZZ!!! i can call anything a glitch if i so deem it worthy.... "Oh no here comes TGK with his 6 royals-- RUN" ----- oh that must be a glitch....
I WANT MY TROOPS, TIME, PORTS, AND EVERYTGHING ELSE I USED UP ON THIS!!!!!
ALL OF IT!!!
Except capping heroes, regardless if it's a Queen/King or other, isn't a glitch and it hasn't created an unlevel playing field. This is something that's been around and has been an acceptable part of the game. It could be argued that having 10 or more HH's in a well defended city is unbalanced/unfair but then it would be marked up to that player going around to get them, which then brings us all full-circle to the original point which is why are Queens/Kings a special case if they can be weaker than HH's? It shouldn't matter if a player has more than one.
there is nothing glitch about it. and if it were, why was it not corrected over a year ago..... you cant just all of a sudden call something a glitch. we are playing a war game, i am building a powerful account, and heros matter. PERIOD.
they have stolen my MOJO. I want it back!
Google "ChargeBack"
I've never been on a forum filled with so much whine ... **** and deal with it thanks. Evony closed a glitch and you lost some money. If you are willing to **** away money on this game then you should expect to lose it on way or another. I'm not saying evony was right to 'fix' this glitch the way they did but given their pasttrack record with these matters I think you are wasting yur time ...
ChargeBack=you account on all servers being closed until you pay them back. So...bye :)
The code of this game mechanic was changed close to a year ago.
Initially you could only cap a Royal if he was appointed as Mayor in the HC you capped.
The code was changed to capping any Royal present in a HC at the moment of cap, including reinforced Royals.
Bug? Right... right... right...
