Thread: Infinite food & res ...

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Default Infinite food & res ...

    So while the official evony position is that they don't discuss the punishment of people who engage in "illegal" activity (exploits, glitches, etc), some of us are still living with the very real consequences of fighting people who have used the famed "Res doubling" system to create billions and billions and billions of resources, troops, etc.

    Is anyone aware of any server where these people have been dealt with? Or are we just stuck in a defense nightmare for months and months until these people run out resources???

    Can someone shine a light at the end of the tunnel??

    The best advice I can give is to report the players and their accounts will get looked into. Then, hopefully, they get the "forced holiday" at the next sweep, and the big banhammer after that.

    Evony is strident in it's efforts to stamp out cheats. Unfortunately, it's inevitable they will miss a few guilty people and catch a few innocents. They do their best to rectify both of those problems on an individual basis. The best thing we can do as players is report the offenders and point Evony's eyes in the right direction. In the end, the cheaters will get caught.

    .. thank you for the prompt reply. I really looked forward to the server merge as a venue to inject some excitement into the game. Instead, we have found people who seem to know fairly little about the mechanics of the game ... but have 100B food, 25B Lum, Iron ... without an NPC in sight. While I suppose all of this is in the human realm of possibility, it is so far outside the norm, I believe, as to justify at least a second look - especially considering the "Res doubling" issue is well know (not to mention open "gloating" about it).

    In the meantime, many dedicated players are becoming very disheartened ... it was one thing dealing with botters ... there was still a physical limit as to what resources they could "farm," and it centered around food .... but this new rash of unfairness also includes lumber and iron ... the centerpiece of building a massive army. How does a guy who does not know how to send a layered archer attack have 6 million ballistae, 3m archers, 1M of everything else, and 2million transports??? luck? skill ....? something else?

    Anyways .. we'll keep huddling behind our walls and attempt to weather the storm ........

    That is one exploit I've heard of but did not got the chance to confirm it.
    If that is an exploit then that is much worse than botting.


    I did however, recalled my hero returining home from farming a level 10 npc just minutes after M/R-S who was supposed to gain 1.8 million exp, but return with nothing. I did not bother to look at the resources.

    I think because I sent the hero minute before the resets and couldn't return home before, instead return after, as a result lost all exp gain.


    Something is happening with the M/R-S that changes things.

    .. they fixed it a couple weeks ago, so I hear. But can you imagine what damage could be done if you were doubling the res of 1M transports every night? Then that guy doubled , then the next guy ... and so forth. Combine that with high lvl heros that can do up to instant cav .... people who can produce ballistae in 3 seconds? .... it is quite a sight to have a guy who doesn't know how a rainbow works throw 1.25M billista at you. Kinda funny ...but when it goes on for days and days ... not so funny. ...

    And the effects are now worse because they have no upkeep on the newly merged servers!... i suppose i could just go in holiday for a few months until they all starve.... (edit: assuming evony ever gets rid of the free upkeep! .. I never thought I would be asking for that ...........)

    By the time Evony gets around to doing its' monthly sweep their won't be any players left on the server. We have killed MILLIONS of ballista attacks MILLIONS of scout bombs and arch attacks and yet, they still come almost 24-7. You complain about botters? This is nothing compared to people who use bots to farm. I would face them any day of the week, but try defending 100k rainbow waves of ballista - 8 of them hitting 1-2seconds apart - you win, he heals and sends another 800k, you win and he sends another 800k. Took a look in his city and he still had 3mill and all the while Evony is giving him FREE food because of server merge. By the time the sweep comes there won't be anything left to sweep. My alliance is nearing 1billion honor.

    We're seeing the same thing on N1. To my knowledge nobody has been banned or suspended for using it and we've had people openly say they've done it in world chat - sent those chats to evony without action.

    I do hope they respond. For now, just send the reports. Hopefully Evony will keep in mind that if they let one exploit pass and they later ban someone for another exploit - they just created a justification for credit card chargebacks on anyone they ban in the future if they didn't enforce the rules uniformly.

    But yes, on N1 - we saw people with a million transporters then after the exploit was fixed, they started suiciding those transporters so they didn't have to feed them. Odds are better than average that those are the people who were using the exploit.

    It is unfair but it's how things currently are. As you become aware of exploits INCLUDING ACTIVE ONES - post something on the forums like this saying X exploit exists and mail the details to evony to look into.

    I think many others would join me in saying they are very reluctant to accuse people of abusing the system .... I know I have been accused of it to a laughable extent by people of varying experience (usually newer people). I never even heard of this exploit until the servers merged and we started finding these cities with unbelievable amounts of resources and started questioning "how?"

    That being said, I have been on evony a very long time. I can add, subtract, and multiply. There is a certain point where the upkeep is impossible to maintain without something very strange going on. I know all the tricks .. I know all the strategies ... but it still doesn't add up.

    I saw the botters come and go .. but I could still beat them, or at least embarrass them ... this is a unique situation. We do not know how to do anything but cower and defend against a handful or people who are basically Gods right now. And it is just a handful .... if all their alliance mates had millions of transports one could maybe argue that over several months, perhaps they supplied the upper handful .... but scouting the remainder of the liiance shows they are fairly inactive, and do not have the capability to supply those kinds of resources.

    It is a very frustrating situation.

    I can safely assume that most player must have prepared alot of resources just for the much anticipated merger where noone really knows what might happen.

    Than again, aything probably had happen.

    Let us keep in mind that there were some players who closed their account who then gave away their massive resources, plus also farm those closed account or known botters that were closed account. Keep in mind that some may be legit, but others may not.

    what a load of tosh, i`ve seen scout reports of cities with billions in resources and no visible means of aquiring said resources legally, i think it time all the honest players left and see what good all their resources are with no-one left to attack.lol
