Troop glitch whens it gonna be adressed.
There are players like Chev on NA53 who has been using this glitch for months. He and his squad of cheaters have ruined that server and Evony does nothing about it. Why should they? They dont care about the overall user experience only lining their pockets. A lot of users were coining trying to catch up to the cheaters but after months of trying it became apparent it was not possible. When players have millions upon millions of ballistas and catapults just a matter of weeks into a new server it is apparent there is something underhanded going on. It was report to Evony weeks ago yet they did nothing. This game is nothing like it used to be and I personally hope no one else spends another dime and these cheating hacking money grubbing thieves go bankrupt.
Lmao i reported it a few times i don't recommend using, doesn't seem worthwhile to get banned. I defentlly will report anyone doing it i see. The question is how long till evony fixes.
They clearly know about it, how long it takes for them to fix it, who knows. All known glitches are eventually patched, crying about it 24/7 isn't going to make it go any faster. Making new threads about the same sh*t they delete I'm quite sure wont help you either. There limited to what they can do for evony, as this is a FORUM! There probably waiting for more information to come in before they make a statement on here. The game has indeed changed, however, the players are changing it, not evony. Its still the same dam game people, just as the years go on, Ive noticed an influx of whiners and people that spend hours and hours trying to find new exploits rather than just play the game! :soapbox:

I have been a long time Evony player all the way back to age1. If Dawnseeker is truly gone, which I would imagine he is seeing as how he has not responded even once on a post that was almost 3 days old (the original forum post), then sorry to say but all you folks begging for information, won't get it. Dawnseeker has always been quick to get on forum posts of this type. It has been Dawnseeker that posts all updates both on forums, facebook, etc. If Evony would even be working on this, there would be a post from someone saying they are. If Evony was worried about "protecting" people against this glitch, they would've already shut down servers to fix the glitch, not allow people to continue using it. Think about it. One of those reports showed 58mil ballista. How many vesta's is that person liable to be buying. Just saying. Then again, I guess it should say something when one of Evony's forum moderators posts to the thread & instead of easing anyone's mind or even hint that the glitch is being worked on, he is too busy worrying about his forum permissions?! Then they remove the forum posting without a word. Still not a single message about fixing it. NEVER in the history of Evony has an issue like this been posted that a moderator, typically Dawnseeker, post that the issue was being addressed & that forum post would be closed to new messages, not just removed like its trying to be hid. The damage is done. The info is viral. Why remove the post instead of posting there would be a fix & locking the post?
Rip evony

While I appreciate the concern about the exploit ( I share it. ), there won't be servers being brought down in order to fix it. What will be happening though is while we're fixing the issue, we're also investigating individual accounts. Then we'll be making decisions on an individual basis on which ones to close, which to suspend, which to action. We're also discussing actions to take.
Things take time, unfortunately, I'd like this to have been fixed by now.
Dave,
Thanks for the reply!! Helps restore our faith in the system. I know that many people, and I include myself in this list that decided that we had no choice but to exploit this issue just so the we could protect our investments. I have no problem destroying all the troops that were made by exploiting this "glitch". If Evony decides that the infraction merits a ban, so be it. All we have ever asked for is a fair shot at competing and having fun with our friends.
Let us know, because many of us love this game, and would rather play "clean"

I tell you what will happen, evony will plug the whole maybe some time from now and then they will leave the servers be and hope that people eventually run out of troops while killing each other. Banning people means they will not get any money from them, God forbid they restore an older back up, one prior to the glitch being known to the masses. But like everyting evony, they probably do not know what a backup is, much less how to restore it. The glitch has officially killed the game and I for one will not stick around in hopes that evony will fix this. During the merger i lost all the troops on my account and despite multiple tickets, they never did anything. Fix it the glitch or not, I honestly do not care, Thank God I can walk away and do more productive things with my time.
Deleting the troops and not doing the exploit would be great. It would be like Christmas for me.
I would suggest reporting anyone you find performing the glitch. I would also suggest keeping records of who they are, get a little coalition together, and group attack them. ;)
A reply! How awesome! At this point though I wouldn't ban accounts since you'd be banning 90% of all your servers. I'd reduce each glitched accounts' troops to no more than 3M of any type per city. :rofl:
where do you want us to report to dave, we get generic ticket responses back?
They are working it now, and have told us so. So lets give them a chance to do it.
Good job dave, keep deleting my posts. You keep avoiding questions. All i want to know is will you Npc 12s,14s,16 that have been capped with glitched troops and you wont even answer that. How do you plan to keep players with an abusing mod mentality.
I would suspect instead of answering this question, you will once again, delete my post.
I think Evony's number 1 concern from what I understand is to first fix the glitch....then they will work the punishment phase for those who have exploited the glitch and used it against those of us who played honestly. I'm sure since Dave is now posting he will keep us updated as he gets updates. The good thing is we know we are being heard and they are working on this....
Like I said to you in a private message.
You have every right to be critical, or post questions that may seem inconvenient. However, you will need to do so politely, or you may lose the ability to post. There's a few things I won't stand for, rampant trolling/flaming/angercat posting is one of them. Not removing the rampant negativity is an abuse of mod mentality and responsibility.
We'll deal with the results of the rampant exploiting AFTER we make sure it's completely corrected. Now you have your answer.
Or ssfgrgawer should be promoted to senior moderator and given full powers in this regard...
hes the only one whos around to often anymore and visit daily thats prolly a good idea. you know what i do when i see someone with an ungodly amount of troops i port in and scout bomb em a few times and wait for the hero xp to roll in. If you guys never seen 20mil mech warcities before u must be server hopping. spam them with attacks all day from multiple alliances mix in hits with the spam or are you guys to scared of a big city to fight back? If you know whos doing it work together as a server to put each and everyone into holiday they cant beat hundreds of people no matter how many troops they have. Quit ur whining and get on it!
am not server hopping and i play on 47 and 52 on 47 am host in FFE been agist a hold server whit 35 members and we PvP Atlandis and other caps so i know how to hit and def agist 20 mio mechs.
thats not the problem here
problem is your up agist players who in no time can make 100mio Acher and 20 mio pults so they do not care how much you lose
but as a player who wil not use this glichs i do care about my trops not meaning i wil not lose all to save a team member.
but i mean whats the point in killing stuff your enemy can make in 1 hr ??
with friendly greeting Host na47/na52
btw am from Denmark why my typeing is not the best but i do hope you understand it
What I would like to point out is that the people complaining are probably the people that had the short end of the stick. Evony has long been about finding ways to improve building speeds through alts & bots and those that can't compete end up complaining all the time. If Evony messed up this glitch shouldn't have to be absorbed by the community but by the company. Just my personal, neutral (I am not advocating for either side) view.
The catch to this is, we run out of troops & those glitching are rebuilt in just a couple days. We completely wiped a player's acct & 3 days later he ports in with 4mil ballista. Now, just a few days later, he's over 20mil ballista. Has nothing to do with whining and everything to do with people's hard work being tossed out. We work hard to legitimately build our troops. The report floating around with 58mil ballista on a server thats a month old?? I don't run 100 alts. I build my troops legitimately. Do the math. A 15 set with a decent HH is at best 4min per ballista. So its 232,000,000 min to make 58mil ballista. Divide that by how many minutes in a day (1440 min in a day). Thats 161111 days & some change. Divide that by 365 days a year to 441 & some change. Divide that by 200 barracks (10 cities X 20 racks). It would take us 2.2 years & some change to be able to build 58mil ballista. Yep my life just got a whole lot more meaning to it. Cuz sorry if "I would also suggest keeping records of who they are, get a little coalition together, and group attack them" is the best answer we get out of the head honchos, I'd say quite a few of us with a business head who just looked at those numbers just realized how much time & money we have wasted to be told basically to go figure out how to kill them. And for the record, the player on our server, I know personally we have reported with undeniable proof of the player using this glitch. The acct is still open.
I suggest a rollback on the troop tables on your databases.
Patch the glitch and notify everyone that a rollback of troops only will take place.
I think that is a fair outcome to this disaster.
Still deal with the abusers accordingly... but anything other than the above is going to be hit and miss and disrupt the gameplay on each server due to the hidden alts which have many mils of troops stashed from glitching.
Any player who hasn't done this glitch would agree that this is a solid outcome considering the events.
Players that capped HCs and such will obviously find themselves banned and without troops to defend the hcs. Win/win?
Attack them until they truce they cant do the glitch if they are in truce no matter how many troops they make no ine can withstand a servet wide assault evony wont fix the glich or ban the people in ome day better do what u can to hold em off or u can sit on the forums and threaten chargebacks and complain til they fix it. Play thr game have a little fun use some teamwork coordinate some hits. This has become a game of whiners where are the people who like a challenge
wow sorry you really do not understand our problem
tell me agin why wil any off them go into truce they do not care how much they lose
only players who care about they city or trops go into truce
Remind me again why people need to get banned? This is not a case of players hacking into the game and getting a glitch of sort to work its them finding a glitch and exploiting a mistake made by Evony. Saying that there needs to be a rollback and players banned is a bit like having me buy something for 10$ on ebay that is worth 1000$, having to return it, pay the extra 990$ and never be allowed to shop on ebay again. It makes no sense. Those on here whining need to move on and realize that other people's creativeness and the lack of thoroughness by the evony staff is to blame, not some sort of exploitative abusive behavior by the community. All of you are so willing to ban and destroy each other rather than realize that you are paying for a game with issues. If you don't like it don't play it. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I wish there was a speaker glitch.
Think of it more like you went to your banks website and found that if you added an extra 6 zeros on a url being parsed of a $1 transfer you could falsely transfer $1mil. After all hundreds of people have money invested in each server right? But "Point Blank" (nailbomb pun) its against Evonys TOS and absolutely destroys servers.. I should know we've been through many troop glitches from NA1 among many many other glitches so forgive me if i laugh at your absolutely moronic remarks justifying how it is somewhat fair you copied someone elses exploit and the people wanting to fix it are whingers. You know that feeling when you found out and first tried it and thought to yourself. Hmmm i really should not do this, but continued then laughed about it with your alliance mates.
That sir is why you should be banned. :oops: :cheer: :oops:
Specifically this comment, " This is not a case of players hacking into the game and getting a glitch of sort to work its them finding a glitch and exploiting a mistake made by Evony."
What is this, the dept of redundancy....a glitch is a glitch. Its not Evony's fault glitches are exploited, there will always be a glitch in a game comprised of numbers. And this is literally nothing like buying a $10 item on Ebay. Your comments are irrelevant with Nailbombs suggestions.
Having said that, I agree entirely with you on moving on and quit whining about the same situation that will be here tomorrow and probably the next few days.
Simple fact, has already been stated, having multiple alliances doorstep every city of an alliance who is blatently using the glitch would be a good start. Man up and kill them foos!! :attack:
Oh I forgot that I mentioned that I had glitched somewhere? Oh wait, I didn't. This is a completely objective view. Plus last I checked botting was against TOS as well but let me guess.... you don't bot? Hmk then. "That sir is why you should be banned." You guys go around calling other people morons without realizing that breaking the TOS means nothing in Evony. Sharing accs? Against TOS. Sharing passwords? Against TOS. Please come back when you actually have a valid argument. This is simply another flaw in a game full of flaws, rolling back might make sense but banning does not. Expecting people not to exploit such an extreme glitch is a bit like walking out of the room and telling a kid not to take all the cookies from the cookie jar. Life is full of loopholes, get used to it.
But I do appreciate your self-righteous view on things!
lol Im looking at the users browsing this thread, 38 guests and 9 members...first time in a long while ive seen that. I guess they closed the other thread because I said I was gonna post a video maybe :)
lolol
I wont lie, theres a possibility he attained that legit..if billons in Age I is normal then im sure someone can attain that legit but that takes time and ports so further investigation will be neccesary
A quick update, we are still working on the situation.
Hey Dave,
Im guessing you guys are behind the servers going down. You have a fix for this glitch?
