Thread: Instead of complaining let's look at the issues

    What if evony just put some sort of caps on troop amounts? Such as made population return more slowly, like instead of every server tic how it goes up, it only does that every day at maintenance? I know that would drastically change the game, but would put a lot more emphasis on battle mechanics understanding and strategy, rather than brute force and who can b0t the best.

    Maybe this specifically is overkill, but its an idea to vastly restrict army size. And make sure any city captured had only one tick's worth of population living there, to prevent just transferring cities (and prevent healing after a city is capped, to prevent multi-accounting).

    Do I think it would work? No, because Evony sets up the game the way that it did to encourage coining, and doing this would discourage coining

    The issue is band aids are put on to try to fix an issue that is only an issue cuz evony hasnt grown with the times or listen to its customers. The have implemented changes to try to stop exploits and botters and whatever esle they deem an issue. but the bottom line is they created a situation where its nearly impossible to survive without conforming to these changes and now that the players have evony needs to. Instead of changing the rules to punish whats left of the legit players y not change what is considered legit. in the last 48 hours my bff kids (who started an evony account a few weeks ago) got their city taken when they were off line (by taken i mean they were removed from the server). when they logged in they came out of limbo but their city destroyed and today when they were dropped in a big players fields were attacked. they were to new/small to join an alliance yet so they had no support and had no means to aquire the food levels to heal...so they watched their city get pounded as they tried repeatly to save their city evenutally they gave up and evony lost a new customer. Sadly they dont listen to their customers needs so the bot makers did and evony learned nothing from that so what do they do they still ignore their customers and now they make it hard for new players to join and for old player to stay. I dont care how much press u have or how big ur army is when some else 0's u and u cant save ur town while ur online that is wrong. they have made it easy for thoes that bot attack to take cities cuz they will force the account into refuge meerly by someone trying to heal ... is comfort a defense YES it is should it be YES it should the game has evolved but making the heals based on the pres and number of cities is wrong ... maybe try basing it on a percentage of the food in the city .... that way a little guy can heal and save his town and the big guys (typically the botters) will cost them much more to heal but they are more then capable of defending does it need a cap yes but if u base it on food in the city and not on usage u can set the cap higher and not effect the players who are legit but evony doesnt consider that they only look at how to punish instead of how to create a better game enviornment. Unless people complain the way they did with the drop from allaince (which by the way is still rediculous) evony will not fix it so i advise u all speak up and get heard.

    Well its been three years for me also, I cant quite work our how something like this could actually dominate my life so utterly,as it has done. I think I realised it was time to quit when I got emptied last night, and I simply didn't care any more.
    Its been an obsessive relationship, and I have tried to quite since server 145, but the way the game is now, there is nothing to keep me interested any longer. That doesn't detract from what has been alot of fun. Evony isnt perfect, but it has certainly been an adventure. Goodbye Evony.

    Wow second posting of the day for me

    I love that question. Why did bots commence ? Hmmmm could it be that every second you were on the game you were farming and every second of the day that you were not on the game you were worried about farming.

    How many of you used to wake up several times during the night to "check" if you were attacked and/or needed food.

    *hand up*

    Botting gave people the chance to actually feel safer and feel more able to keep playing. Of course botting was a curse to begin with because only a few were doing it which caused the normal outcry - cheats!! Now it is the normal thing for most of all servers.

    To go back to what it was before bots ? No it wont happen. Why you ask ? Because attacking a level 10 npc is no thrill for people now, it is a chore. 300k archers ? Exciting ? No not anymore. The damage is done and as you are all aware, we cannot turn back time.

    Yes, I would love to be able to. Those early days were exciting but really, no matter what happens, things evolve.

    I actually believe Evony is one step behind and is trying to play catch up. That too wont work. Or is Evony trying to close down this Age I completely ? Hmmmm difficult choice.

    Just so you know, if you do take food from NPC's Evony Gods then I am out for good. That is the rumour going around.

    Have a great day

    I agree completely, the game i played before bots were introduced was so much better. There was a little but of excitement and anticipation of what had happened during the day or night if i was unable to log in. now everything is fully automated and people have many accounts they can use to benefit for food and large armies. i think rather than doing these smaller updates, they should work on one larger update in order to stop bots. I don't think multi account using is as easy to track as obviously, a few people can be playing on one computer, but then there is the no accounts sharing rules. realistically it would be easier for people to leave their account online whilst another person plays on theirs on the same computer. however this can lead to getting banned. i think evony should overlook their rules and think about implications. iv'e been playing around 3 years now and would love to have the old evony back... maybe evony age 3 could be an answer to stop all this non sense.
