Well I've read the entire forum. The Major problem I have seen and Not heard any answers too, are the camped timed attacks and/or defending against incoming attacks. I have been on defence for hours on end and need to open/close gates... heal troops... look at all the 50 incoming to see what and which sity is being hit next to be able to dtermine where and what to do as far as opening/closing gates healing troops etc. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that gets pumped and their adrenaline racing to do this. I can see a pop-up captcha ruining this. getting you out of the "zone" and causing several failed defences in the process. I for one will be extremely teed off to have that happen to me.
As somebody who holidays a lot due to limited playtime rather than bot, it's insulting that the limited gameplay I will now enjoy will be completely ruined by this popup; which is another example of a gaming company ruining gameplay for the average joe to catch the few who choose to break the rules.
You are not hurting the botters with this popup, you are hurting players like me. The fact you are now not only making me put up with all these botters but with a popup that WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT GAMEPLAY is enough for me to quit, to be honest.
I am not willing to invest money into something so tedious when there are dozens of free games out there. As a long time and (mostly) satisfied customer I seriously urge you to reconsider this.
It was not originally intended for cities to be captured. Bear that in mind.
evony good idea bad placement , popping up during game play not to dam bright what if u are trying to close gates and it pops up ? and if u get it wrong u could lose all ur troops in a attack u were working gates on . Sending timed attacks out , all these things would be effected. i understand the need but every few hours during game play and more if you get it wrong. The idea of the code login would be just as effective other sites use them to keep spamers out . why not a simple login code key?
You do realize that the bot results in the person NOT being on evony which means they are dealing with their real life which is why they need a bot so they can have a life and be good enough to compete with the ones that spend thousands to built pults in first few days. Im sorry to insult you but your comment was completely ignorant and the other guy is right, bots do not cause the lag and all you game designers that think otherwise then maybe you should recall to any classes that teach you this and you will then need to apologize for this terrible mistake and learn to accept botting as it gives us a chance to play games with people who are spending so much and not lose everytime. Maybe you should redo your comment after you thought over your what you think are "right" answers.
Well here are my thoughts on the whole deal. Since the merge of 18 servers, lag has been horrible, game play not up to the terms and conditions, evony removes viable NPC's, customer service gives you the same email- rarley a real person and now you have added a Captcha that interuppts game play in some cases every hour. Instead of actully fixing the problem(s) you have made them worse. There have been countless suggestions on how to improve the game, most have been ignored. Lower the cost of troops, increase resources in NPC's, take off the silo cap of how much your cities can produce.. I like most people do not play this game to FARM I spend money so that I can port around and steal other peoples resources, that is the FUN part. Evony is in the business to make money..despite the evony free forever nonsense. So my response to the Captcha, the lag the lack of true customer service? One big fat charge back. So cheer up all you complainers of botters blaming those who do about the lag, you should soon have a very empty server, then you can complain on how dead this server is and how you need another merge..
This is terrible. I know there is a problem with boting but some of us will have to quit playing. I can never read the Captcha. Even when I think I've found 1 I can read, I'm told it's wrong. So, I won't be able to play.
My husband is brain damaged and has glaucoma. He can't read them either but enjoys playing so very much, it's going to hurt him badly to not be able to.
We are Senior Citizens and wanted something to help pass the time. We found this, made friends, and spend many enjoyable hours.
Thanks Evony.
You know I've sat here thinking for about two hours if I should reply to this threat or not because its getting pretty nasty in here. However, I feel the need to say something. I leave my evony on when I walk away from the computer, I leave it on when I run to the store or library, when I nap and when I sleep everything. If I'm not active when that stupid thing pops up, what will happen then? Ill get them every hour? when I'm timing attacks, that's already hard as hell to do with all the bots on my server... this isn't a fix, its a
nightmare. Maybe you should just do it once at log in, like the security feature that way it doesn't interrupt our game play halfway though attacking ect. If you want to improve evony, do it the right way, not screw up the hopes the rest of us have who don't bot, who rely on timing perfect waves based on the arrival times and can't get screwed and mucked up with stupid little boxes popping up to make sure your human and not a bot. My understanding is that you can't log into an account from two different computers
meaning that if someone logs in and punches in that captcha thingy it will be fine to play, in order for them to put a bot on, they will have to log into the bot from another screen meaning another log in....therefore its more ideal for it to be a one time thing when you log in.
That's my thoughts anyways
