Thread: Let us talk about CAPTCHA

    Default Let us talk about CAPTCHA

    whats the point of it again?

    lag is maybe bit better but not really.

    Botters it does not stop cause those who can afford just pay to get it done...

    sometimes - yes - it does not pop up at all but then there are times where it comes back again and again.

    it comes up when you defend - very helpfull

    it comes up while you send out attack and give you challange to time your stuff...

    actually all it does is getting on nerves - opened new business for someone that makes money with the cheaters now and thats then it.

    why again did we get it?

    btw i even catched me arguing with it cause for me the letters been clear and it still act as if i put in wrong...


    now i spend more time in hol then ever just cause i dont wanna jump over to the pc when i see the captcha poped up ...

    no? the set the captcha to stop botters - but the botters found their way to get arround it within a few days...

    now all it does is getting on nervers. i would not b1tch if i had to type it in once in a while - and if evony thinks they have to support those that ruin their business and now to manage that they even make real good money with it.. fine. i would handle things different with those that make sure i make less money... BUT

    if this captcha actually leadsd to the fact that it ruins your active game play ... then its not only worthless it should be either fxed somehow or replaced with a better idea that actually does something good.


    ever timed attacks and then had to recall all the shizz cause captcha made sure you could not add the att at the right time?

    or it made sure it keeps you away from playing defence?

    point is:

    positive effects:for the players - none
    for the person programming bots - huge income $$

    negetive effects: -anoin
    -does not stop botters, only makes now a difference
    coining botters and those that bot to compete
    -can ruin defence
    - can ruin attacking
    - makes you agressive when you 100% positive that you
    put in right but then it is still wrong (that me
    off)

    Well according to that I've been reading you shouldn't be getting captcha that frequently unless you're botting or using some form of 3rd party programming. Now this is coming from the same people that thinks captchas are the god given gift to solving lag issues on servers. So you can't take this backhanded reasoning seriously.

    To answer your question, you'll see days with maybe one of two captchas a hour and says with 10 captchas every 30 minutes.

    There does seem to be a large variation in the captchas. Some days it's 5 or 6 a day, others its every 2 minutes. Though I have noticed if you log in at reset and play for a few hours, then log again in 12 hours or so you will get up to 10 times the captcha in the evening.

    Not sure why but I can only recommend attacking straight after reset to prevent the captchas disrupting your timing.

    A possible explanation for that scenario would be that there is a server-side timer that is set when you log in, but is not restarted / set idle when you log out. As such, while you are not even signed into the game, the server-side process is still firing off captcha triggering messages, but not getting a response, so it steadily increases the frequency that captchas are to be presented. When you sign back in, you have the higher rate.

    It's a speculation, but it seems to match your description.

    it ok people good news i have worked out a way round the captcha all u need to do is log in and dont move dont farm dont attack and u can go for a good few hours without 1 but i think its time we all stopped paying money for evony then maybe they will actualy do something bec stoppng the lag on ss65 with captcha has come back to bite u in the ass bec its now worse then ever

    I don't have captchas on my server atm, but i don't see them being a super big issue as long as your eyesight is good (i believe they also added hearing for the ones in game as well). While i don't believe this is a good solution, or a solution at all as a matter of fact, for botting; i don't see it disrupting my gameplay as much except maybe as to add an extra 5-10 mins to camp time when timing attacks to make up for a disruption if one happens to happen during the second i need it

    So, while i think captchas were a horrible solution and more of a *look we're doing something* type of deal, i think as a whole we'll be able to get around it with fairly little inconvenience if they do decide to stick with it. For the comment above mine of just not doing anything whatsoever to avoid captchas, what exactly are you doing lmao. That would involve not even moving my hero around to build troops, most people don't have buildings/research they're waiting on anymore man...
