ummm Captcha on 158? No evony notice? No official post?
Whats going on!
Tell me about it ;o/
The writing was so small I could'nt read it and kept getting it wrong.
I won't be spending a single penny on this server from here on in.
Do they fix the lag ...NOOOOOO
Do they fix the market/resources glitch ...NOOOOOOOO
Do they fix the delay in showing battle reports..... NOOOOO
But they add a bloody capcha to the server.
Way to go once again evony....... customer satisfaction is Number 1 right?
what a friggin joke.
Ive been on three servers that have been hit with capcha's. Never once did evony give notice. Dont know why anyone would expect notice. If you read the terms and conditions you agreed to, evony has the right to change the game how ever and when ever they want. .. always been that way and prob not going to change ..
10k of each resource with a capcha screen DON"T cut it when your trying to open and close your damn gates during an attack.
Now can you please replaces the 10 mill I lost because my gates were closed for a scout bomb and I could'nt open them in time for the follow up attacks.:flame:
damm they brought captcha to 158? man *** wtf are you doing evony? trying to push your coiners to new games?
I don't think evony knows how much spooner has done for each server he has played on.
i dont think evony knows how much us long time players have spent on our servers, they wont be getting much money once they make us all leave
I quit playing on ss60 because of all the stupid captchas, now only log there to chat. I'm probly gonna end up doing the same on 158.
I refuse to spend money on a game that is purposely making it more difficult for me to play.
Maybe I should join the 50 or so ppl (that i personally know) that have left evony to play SLO
why oh why oh why wont you implement this accross all servers ?
Servers use Captcha if we find a lot of bots are being used. It shouldn't prevent you from doing anything time sensitive like opening/closing gates. If it pops up when you're doing something like that, just close it and solve it the next time it pops.
Sorry Dawnseeker but that is BS ...
If your doing camped attacks, it screws up the timing because the time spent even cancelling it can cause a delay if hitting the ok button is 2 seconds away from being hit.
Opening and closing gates is also time sensitive, if it pops up withing 2 seconds of hitting the open/close button all is lost.
Not to mention if you happen to be afk and the bloody stupid thing pops up it causes issues too.
BELIEVE me, if bot makers bothered to make such advanced bots, they will make a captcha solver.
ONLY people you're screwing over are the honest players.
I'm sure you'll ignore this and I'll never get an answer, but what the hell I'll try anyway.
You say it's to combat servers with mass amounts of bots, but a 2 minute time spell on Google shows that the bots aren't stopped by Captcha. Your long time customers leave the game, including high end spenders. & a mass of unhappiness spills into the forums.
So what you actually do, is reduce your income, annoy players, and not combat the bots. How does this help?
Also, no they don't have to notify people of changes, but customer service basics would suggest they would.
I don't play 158, but I don't understand at all why you think Captcha would stop botting when it works even with Captcha.
To all of the players that have coined on this server, I'm sorry for your dissapointment with the EVONY TEAM. It seems that we all should have expected this if the issues of the market, war reports and lag have been caused by those that choose to ignore the TOS. If these issues weren't caused by these folks but by EVONY themselves, then that just shows how much EVONY regards their paying customers and people will leave/ servers will die and hopefilly those that pay for their entertainment will find a better place to spend their money.
Have you tried doing ANYTHING on 158 dawn? Ya know the server where gold disappears because the merket is shafted.... or how about a 20 min lag on the war reports, oh oh oh or my personal favourite a 90 min daily maintenance. Fair enough add captcha if you see fit. But at least fix the problems with this server.
I hope to see a huge server wide boycott on the purchase of cents until you actually listen to your players, and i sincerely hope everyone who quit today because of the ineptitude of evony's customer service department does a whopping great chargeback
If your going to add captcha to our server i demand that all the lag market and maintenance problems be fixed. I shouldn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to grab flats maintenance doesn't happen and then when i wake up maintenance happens for 1hr-1.45 minutes. It posts when maintenance happens it should only take 15 minutes thats a complete false advertisement when i try to log in after 15 minutes and still can't get back on. This game has been unbearable in terms of you guys "fixing" things that help players out but not fixing the things that do hurt us. I will make one post and only one post about this and i will end up taking other measures. Its ridiculous that i could be attacking someone lag out for no reason. The other day i launched mechs with one of my good heros didn't get to time feasting hall fillers because i got booted for 7 minutes for no reason lost the hero. I asked my allies if they were booted to and they said yes meaning that everyone got booted off the server for no reason. I for one am tired of new rules popping up for no apparent reason. You guys had us vote on the new alliance rule we said limit the number of alliances you can join and you guys ignored what the vast majority said. You can't change the rules of the game midgame this is not what i signed up for. You guys have been changing things over the last few years and not sure if you are taking the customers into consideration. Messaging for customer service can take months when i try and get something done I have to make threats in order to get a message even sent to me. This is getting old and I give up trying. You do things without giving your customer any warning or say so in it. I'm done
yep they are just making us old players leave and noobs comming in, and guess what? noobs dont pay to play.
Its funny, evony claim that captcha is introduced on servers that show high levels of 3rd party software use. Have they ever considered that new players don't come to Age1 servers they are always shunted onto the incredibly ugly and garish Age2, therefore most of the people on 158 also play an older age1 server... and guess what they bot there too.
If captcha is so successful from evony's standpoint why isn't it rolled out across all servers?
Auto cents cancelled.
Only thing to do.
I came from ss60 to 158 because captcha killed an entire server to the point that all that is left is people who have crazy stupid armies that holiday for weeks on time, dead alts because owners didn't wan to maintain after they installed captcha, and a few real players who threaten to quit everyday because ss60 is beyond boring and laggy.
Blah, Captcha doesnt stop botters. They Have the option to Pay to keep playing. So Sure introducing the capture gets rid of the broke ass botters , who then move to another server. leaving the non botters Stuck on a server with Rich Botters. I Dont think thats very fair. So the non botters get ****ed off and rant and rave to no avail, Then they go join another server , Sometimes joining the ranks of the botters. And The cycle repeats. Botters Ethier stay and pay to play, Or Jump To new servers after selling their accounts.
Ive said this to a few people. If evony Stopped thinking like an evil heartless corporation and Added the Functions that are found in the bot to the client, People wouldn't need to bot. You Have an awesome battle Mechanics system but a poor resource setup. Hence why people resort to bots and alts. But what does evony do, They Add stupid pay items like the bernies hammer. I mean Wtf is that.. But meh. This rant is pointless. Nothing will ever come of it.
nope cause they dont care about their paying customers they will keep contradicting themselves untill we really do leave and evony dies cause they pushed all their coiners away
This game is going the way Runescape did.
They changed their service to the point where about 60 percent of their players left.
Dont follow the logic there. botting seems to get worse with every new server to me.
Simple solution, just either forget captcha and let people play how they like, or add to EVERY server and be done with it.
i left server 153 - after spending quite a bit - to go to 159 after captcha left the server like a ghost town with word puzzles. i for one HATE the not knowing if what i spent on 159 will also go down the toilet because this damn captcha suddenly appears.
5 capchas in 3 hours..... walk afk for an hour and takes forever to log back in, and only then if you can actually read the damn thing.
I feel a charge back coming on.
I giggled at this thread. Everyone wants captcha until it hits their server :D
Don't want captcha? Then don't complain about botters
Evony wants the servers to die they obviously dont care. they havent fixed ANYTHING on 158. they just ****ed off every1 that was already frustrated from the markets/wr lag/maint length.
This will kill 158 and eventually their game. evony is going to lose money over this stupid decision. me, along with my alliance Leverage, will never spend a dime again. good choice evo, ur making ur spenders never spend again.... also i expect a few thousand charged back shortly.... greeeeat business decision.
-Magikarp
lets be honest. name one server that ISNT completely full of botters........................................... .. yea.
evony should just take on the bots and come out with their own and charge money to use it, they obviously like their money lol
ps: any player that is banned for "botting" is bs. if ur going to ban one person for something, why arent u bannign the THOUSANDS that do it? all or nothing. death of ur game, or let it happen.
yall are lucky enough your server is somwhat new....
I'd strongly advise you to quit the server while you can... eventually you will get lag so bad you cant farm (if you havent already). then you'll spend more money on holidaying then then you could be on another server or a new game.
The counter to Dawns logic is: Botters need to spread out, ya got too many on one server lol... since botting is ok, just as long as the whole server isnt doing it :rofl:
BOTTERS DISPERSE! :cheer:
man this is probably about to get locked lol, entertaining
