A Possible Fix for Players That are Permanently Online

[Arasein]

I understand this may not be that big of an issue, but it is highly annoying, and it DOES happen. I am pretty sure that many people have encountered a player on their Revenge list that is permanently online, no matter what they try or when they attempt a revenge. This is not limited to players on your revenge lists, because more than likely, there are players who never raid and just sit with their collectors.

I wish to propose a fix, or something of the sorts, for this issue, which may or may not work.


HOW IT WORKS

Players can be attacked while online ONLY if the circumstances below are met

• It MUST be a revenge attack.
• They player being revenge attacked MUST NOT have an active shield.
• The player seeking revenge has not forcibly revenged someone online within the last two hours.

When someone attempts to revenge while you are online

• You will be given a menu to either

1. Watch the attack
2. Exit the game
3. Go raid somebody else (Gathered loot does not go to your base mid-revenge)

• You will not be allowed to modify barracks, as to avoid stuffing them full of troops to reduce available loot. Same applies to spell factories, upgrades, and research.

When you attempt to revenge an online player

• Must pay a small fee (optional)
• Will lose your shield as normal
• Will receive a two hour cool-down period to avoid spamming this feature
• Will have a small (10%-ish) loot penalty

That is all I could think of for now, PLEASE do give me feedback, I will post it below as soon as possible.

Apparently this is a stupid idea.
Not fair at all?

Stupid Idea.

I also do not think using exploits or applications to remain near permanently online is fair at all.

But getting attacked while online can affect anyone, not just those that use apps or exploits to remain online. So this would not be fair to those that don't uae apps, as with what the OP said, this is unfair and stupid, for anyone else that reads this, if you agree do not post again, let this die out.

A Possible Fix for Players That are Permanently Online

HOW IT WORKS

Players can be attacked while online ONLY if the circumstances below are met

I was thinking Victoria's Secret models might be the best approach.

Because allowing attacks while online should never be done under any circumstances.

First of all players who are always online is not an exploit, therefore is doesn't require a fix, secondly if a player is in the middle of an attack and gets kicked out of that, it would be highly frustrating

revenge is incredibly frustrating I get that, but I would rather the attack be when they are offline, and mine are usually when they have a shield, it's rare that they are online, if they are online then you could stalk that player till they log off for a minute, you would only get a small window and they might get attacked by someone else in that time.

revenge isn't balanced, but that doesn't mean you should get to attack players online

I think what the OP was referring to is being unable to revenge bot users, who seem to be online nearly non stop. Ive come across a few of them and its really frustrating not being able to get them back. It seems the only time you're able to get them back is right after a maintenence break which isnt very often. Unless you sit there clicking "revenge" for hours on end.

as opposed to the players who genuinely are online for hours at a time? like myself for instance

revenge needs an overhaul, but attacking online players is not the way forward, it needs to be worth the time taken to get the player, it shouldnt be about punishing players who attack

[WingChris]

I dont like attack while online.

But maybe the game adds a break faster. I think you get a forced break of 5 minutes after 6-8 hours.

So maybe you add a forced break after 4 hours for 15 minutes.

And, when u try to use the revenge button, u get the info, how long till the shield wears off/how long till the play season reached its maximum.

That way u can target bot users

From an underdog point of view, this would Annihilate a trophy pusher, especially low level trophy pushers. It's hard enough to find a raid up here, but having the option to revenge while someone is online? Double edged sword right there. It would favor people who are "always online" because they could just recover easily, and besides, there is a 6 hour limit on play time. It's just a matter of luck whether or not you manage to revenge someone.

Scum that use bots are always online
