yup theres ways around everything'
The captcha currently in test is by no means perfect as it may be small on some screen resolutions. What it does not do is pop every 5/10 minutes. We are not trying to make it interruptive of gameplay, but checking that you are there, playing.
Bear with us as we are testing this out. I quite enjoyed reading the feedback here from players, what I do not like reading is personal attacks/threats/etc and other posts that really are not contributing. There is no reason why you cannot contribute positively to the thread and keep it within what the OP was talking on.
I'll re-open the thread; the next attacks/flames etc will simply have a week suspension.
And I'll respond to a few questions I've seen here. I'm sure Dave/Dawnseeker/Thantium will be more active here than I am.
Allow Evony to have a 'legal' bot: No.
Adjust the Captcha to refresh/have sound/be bigger: We are looking at this.
Is Captcha happening every 5/10 minutes: No.
Does Captcha fail mean you are suspended for an hour: No, not yet. No suspension, you can re-log in.
Is Evony trying to upset players: No.
Is this clearing some latency issues: It seems it is improving it.
Are some players still having login issues: Yes. Please report via helpspot.
Is it mature and positively contributing calling someone stupid: No.
Does Evony choosing to ignore people: No, but everyone has work to do. They respond when they can.
u say your not tryin to upset evony players but just look at the thread. you are upsetting them with the captcha while playin.. i just dont want it to interfere with me attackin or defending every second is crucial and what if that second it happens to pop up is the exact secong i need to camp a wave?
Is this SUPPOSE to happen if your account is just sitting there doing nothing. Like on some websites if you don't move the mouse for 10 minutes it logs you out. Is that what this is suppose to do but fails completely at?
I don't even care if the botter's are killed off just fix the lag maybe bring in occasional new items and specials and just leave well enough alone. Every 'solution' that comes out seems to bring new problems and upset more and more people.
Thanks Thalin, I think this is an awesome idea.
I started on S114, which merged into SS40. On both those servers I was rarely in holiday and quite enjoyed porting around wiping cities and emptying them of resources. Last merge it became SS59, where nearly everyone bots.
I've had my account in holiday for a long time now on SS59, because I'm unable to compete against botters and don't want to bot myself. I look forward to playing again if this gets rid of the che@ters.
This is a big step for Evony, risking the loss of a lot of revenue from paying botters potentially quitting. It's much appreciated.
Don't know why you say that most of the bots I've seen on my server are just farming bots not defence bots and only have balls and transports so its a very easy kill and theft. Only downside is very hard to take the cities (though not impossible) but I'm happy with all my cities anyway so that's not a big deal to me.
