Fixing the online only problem is simple, boom beach already only gives you a 4 hour safety window, so implement that so even if they are online you can still attack them.

revenge was never useful

it was revenge, its not about the loot you get its to attack the player who attacked you

it was never meant to be a useful method of attacking

I only rarely encounter someone who can't be revenged... that said, the rare few who I haven't been able to revenge are always "online" for upto 2 weeks or more and then get shifted out of my history. I am very active revenge attacker.

How can that be logical!

...developers please address this!

I have heard of a few mods that make it as if the player is constantly under attack. Yet they never have a destroyed base. Might need to be addressed

Bot and mod use, at least what I can tell at my end, is rare when it comes to regular raids. I haven't seen anyone that had an overly long "under attack" message, and only 2 people, since I started revenge attacking regularly, that were on 24 hours a day. I've had one attack that seemed rather brainless and bot-like, but I don't know if it was a script, or just some bored player doing simplistic attacks.

As for someone that is constantly "under attack", that could be from someone else not playing fair, and wanting a revenge attack, but has to wait until something is finished. So what the other revenge attacker is likely doing is obsessively scouting the base, and then leave without attacking. They can block things for over 3 mins at a time, and then redo it for another 3+ mins. Unless a bot does it, I'd have to say the player needs to get a life and not be that obsessive. :facepalm:

Or the poor person is getting zapped a lot by people, and is constantly under attack. :smirk:
