Thread: Captchas Now Testing on ss57 and ss60

    Played 4 servers without a bot. By the fourth, I was getting smashed on an almost daily basis because everyone else on the server DID bot. Did my research...."evony doesn't want to ban botters"...sounds like a green light to me. I'm at least keeping up now.
    Personally I would be happy to return to the days when 300K arch and decent layers was a fairly well defended city, don't see that ever happening tho. And before the illiterati criticize the listed troop #'s...I said FAIRLY...NOT impenetrable.
    Now, the first problem I see with this system is that...according to Murphy...it WILL pop up at the most inopportune times...repeatedly. Add to that the lag which could be anywhere from seconds to 10's of minutes...and a whole atk/def/cap setup has just been ruined.
    Also...I saw a previous post where one of the reps implied that "if you're afk when captcha pops up...just enter code when ya return. Does this mean all tedious activity (farming runs an hr away/ multi hour troop builds/etc) will be suspended in the meantime? I've sat thru many of evony's "upgrades" and said little, bit the bullet and trudged on, albiet unhappy and less effective. This one concerns me...it WILL cause MASS troop loss and wasted time and make the game not only less productive, but less enjoyable.
    Lastly...I suspect many of you here employ help in your various accts. I also suspect many of you long for the old days when you weren't defending against 100K pults 2 weeks into the server.

    Suppose I'll wait and see if this is the final straw...

    You'll just need to enter the captcha when you wake up. Also you should try the Evony Toolbar (in my sig) which will allow you to monitor incoming attacks even if you're not logged in!

    I've had the toolbar for months now, and NOT ONCE has it ever warned me about, or allowed me to monitor attacks, all i can do is get the daily allowanc

    I can't begin to fully express my displeasure. I strongly disagree with this implementation of capcha for several reasons:

    1: First and foremost, it will disrupt game play. Several times I have used the fake scout bomb combined with a scouting run to gain a scout report...what happens when the capcha pops up at the wrong time and I can't recall my scout bomb? Will evony recover a lost hero? Will evony replace the lost scouts? What if those last 100k scouts are the difference between an enemy scout attempt being thwarted or getting a scout on me, but they are lost? For these few examples, any interruption of game play is unacceptable.

    2. Unless efforts are made to accommodate people with poor eyesight, it becomes a case of unequal treatment of players.

    3. In my experience with capcha, it often screws the letters and numbers up so much that I often don't type what is required. This anticipated and expected frustration is unacceptable.

    The bottom line is that if evony incorporates this on my server, I am done with evony, along with any money I might spend in the future, and I will seek refund of the money I have paid--I did not sign up for a game where an interruption can ruin the timing of attacks and could flush many minutes, possibly hours of planning and hours/days of troop building down the toilet and possibly lose heroes and troops.

    Evony is a great game when play is uninterrupted. Captcha in-game will ruin it and I and many others will be gone.

    Quit your crying, this is the first good thing that Evony has come up with to stop Botting. So get over yourself and try and enjoy the game for what it really is.

    As Dawnseeker stated we can easily plug in other captchas if this one is broken. We looked at some other captchas we looked at are in theory harder to crack but are harder to answer quickly. This does not mean that we think the one we have is crackable easily, there is just one very very commonly used one out there that is known to be pretty much immune for cracking and is used all over the internet, it is just a little hard to read.
    when someone spends an HOUR trying to figure out what each of the little squiggly lines is, whether a 1 or an I or an L or l, an e or a c, g or maybe q....don't tell me it's 'just a little hard to read'. I have a 23 inch LCD monitor, brand new crisp, still smells like the box it came in and I can hardly read them - it will mean the end of precision timing and brilliant last second reinforcements, make no mistake. You say it's not affected by colorblindness, I say if YOU are not colorblind, your quote means nothing. Good Day To You Sir.

    Doesn't work and is only temporary IF it has any effect.

    As I have discussed on my thread about how to program around keeping bots off and players on, I covered many scenarios. Captcha was not an idea because it will be worked around over time by the modders of the bot(s). (2 weeks and a bot will be released with a reader to intercept what captcha is going to be and it will just fill it in. Spikefin and I covered this if you bothered to READ. Not being rude, just being honest and obvious.)


    Captcha is a fail and I personally will stop playing if I have to interact with the servers protocols in order to stay online and play an already highly interactive game balanced with other normal player. We should not have to do your work, we pay you to keep us safe without US having to do the work for the server.

    Unless it is picture captcha you guys in the development side have failed. (As clearly discussed in the section you told us to discuss it in.)

    You only succeeded in making people who actually play legit to stop playing due to MORE interaction in the game that is suppose to stop bots but in the end it wont, now you have angry or upset members with no results. ( maybe latency, I will give you that.)


    Matter of fact, within the time it took me to write this my friend has already built a script around your captcha.

    What does that mean for the people who are being malicious about it? You guys have successfully managed to force the modder(s) of bots to update and release yet ANOTHER version. Just to be clear anyone who attempts to contact me about violating rules or how to violate the rules will be turned in. (Just clarifying).

    Please Evony developer(s), will you gather ideas that will work and not ideas that will only be good for 2 weeks?



    Sincerely,


    Corey T.
