So, ill try to be more civil about my complaint. I need to know why you felt you needed to throttle attacking in an arena that is solely for attacking and trying to outclick your opponent as much and as fast as you can. why not fix the exploit? how long did you sit around and try to determine how many clicks a person should be able to do in a second? ten seconds? minute? before you ruined his/her chance at the deathblow, which is what everyone wants a shot at, its why we compete, and by putting people in timeout because of your perceived or preconceived notion of how many attacks should someone be able to do is quite simply ludicrous..... is everyone under the same constraint? does every single person that plays arena subject to timeout? what are the timeout constraints? probably the worst thing about the whole timeout idea is to hear people congratulate you on a change that they dont even know, use, or understand. and do you know what the end all result is? Not a thing changed in regards to the people in the top 20, more or less the same exact people who have been there before were there again. So in reality all you did was upset the same people who support your arena by reducing the number of attacks per whatever time frame you deemed acceptable. tell me who on your team playtested that in arena? "cricket" fix the exploit, spend on your time on fixing the exploit not reducing our chances of playing when it matters. the other thing i think most people underestimate, you can only attack to the amount of your stamina, when you reduce the capacity to attack you are catering to people who dont have the stamina to do the attacks to begin with. try thinking about that, you either pay un to play or you sit and try to snipe, but when someone has the stamina to attack and cant because of limitations you put into play, you have ruined the game. thats my piece, have at it jonny
I agree with Slave on this one. The throttling of the attacks actually cost me quite a few kills this time around. When you guys tested it, did you test your attacks based on clicking the red attack button or the yellow button. You can do alot more attacking using the yellow link. Obviously you know about the other exploit that most of the arena players know about. Why not just fix it. I know you have the ability as you have fixed it another part of the game in the past. It is the same concept when it comes to the coding. I will never have has many attacks as some others, but thats because i don't have half the stamina they do. If I had 1500 stamina, you can bet your ass I would have 100k attacks instead of my 10k. Even the kills I did get this time around, I had to worry when i got people to 5k. Am I clicking too fast? Will I get the message and someone will sneak in? It shouldn't be that way. It actually got worse in the later rounds when you have to click faster or lose the kill.
Thanks for being civil slave and i do appreciate it. But the answer to you and any other player as the developers have said if you feel like this issue is impacting you please write into support and they will get with you on a one on one basis. It's not there attention to stop players from having a great time in the arena or make them lose out on kills. But it is the attention to stop players from exploiting loopholes within the system of using hot keys scripts and whatever method is out there also. But i can also make a suggestion in the arena next time your in there if this feature is still there slow down on the attacks when your bringing someone down there health and then the last few hits start clicking faster and you will still be able to get the kill. Heard numerous players in pirate clan suggest this method in order to not get the running out of steam popping up constantly.. But again email support they will get with you as soon as they can Thanks and have a good weekend.
It seems like a good theory but witht he sharks that play this game, you have to kill the ones you find quick or take the chance to finish them off. No disrespect to any others, but there are people who just health check constantly to see who is dropping. It's smart. I don't have the patience for it. Now if you find someone that has 100 mill health, you have to click like hell or take the chance someone will see it.
no jon your wrong, its not a one on one issue, this either impacts everyone or it impacts no one, its not fair to throttle some people and leave others unthrotteld, fix the problem and let us click as much as we can, you guys and your conspiracy theories about bots,scripts and whatever else is getting ridicoulous and it still doesnt answer the problem of clicking so slow its pedestrian, like im looking at my stats, my advantage is to attack hard and fast and kill before someone realizes who im on, it sounds easy but its not, and you have to have the stamina pts to do it, and very few have which is what i feel is the whole issue here, people that put skill pts into stam were dominating the arena, now lets fix it so they cant, lets let everyone have one attack on a person? people were suggesting limiting the number of attacks? we arent playing little league, not everyone gets to bat, and most people have skipped building stamina in favor of higher attack/defense and now they are complaining because they cant compete, well they can do something about it, start building stam......
slow down my attacks? why so everyone and their grandmother has time to find out who im bringing down, its like serving dinner to a pack of hyenas already....do you even play jon? do you even know what we are talking about and why so many people that dont snipe are upset about this change? people that do the "driving" doing all the damage to take someone down from 100 million or 200 million have one advantage and that is killing it before the pack gets a sniff of blood. once one sniper in a pack finds it, immediatly his/'her entire pack is watching, circling, waiting for the kill, the slower i have to go to bring it down, gives them all that much more time to find out who im working on. oh and by the way wonder bread, your randomizer was removed when you implemented this throttling and reverted back to everyone being on the same page again..... 1400 people in the arena and im getting sniped over and over again by 2 people in my group that have no idea who im going after, way too much to be coincidental, can you guys get that fixed and leave it in please.
Me personally i just go in there to hit everything and everyone. Do not really care to be number 1 in the arena. But i do see your guys point yes its going to upset some players any changes in games do. And just like the first arena some things had to be tweaked over into the next couple arenas. Could this be the final solution to resolve the issue maybe maybe not. They can possibly tweak the running out of steam over a period of arena's in all the kano games until they believe they have it just right so players are not upset. All i am saying give it time let them work out the issues and hopefully everyone will be happy with the outcome. Just be glad they didn't implement what a lot of players wanted a certain amount of hits on a player in an arena in a given time frame that would have been far worse in my opinion. But again Slave as wonderbread stated if you felt like this impacted your game then message support and they will look into it as he said. And thanks again for being civil.
Why should this conversation be limited to one-on-one conversations with support? This effects everyone that plays arena and therefore should be discussed in an open forum where everyone can voice their opinions. I agree with slave and American Nightmare 100%. Fix the exploit, don't slow down everyone else. Don't penalize the others that commit their time, stamina and UN's to arena because it is simply not fair, and I am speaking as both someone who attacks someone down to the end and a sniper, I play arena both ways.
There will be blood this was not my decision as i am only a moderator i do not implement the rules only follow and advise players to follow them also or put in the coding of the game myself. I am just relaying what was said by developers to the players if they felt it impacted there game. I can see your point just like every other player. And as i said the issue itself right now its not going to be resolved over the weekend since kano is off because of a holiday. Nor is bringing up the issue over and over going to solve anything right now either. Kano is aware of the issue and how players feel let them decide the next course of action or tweaking to solve the issues so everyone is happy.
could not have said it better slaves, the funny thing is they sure fix the exploit for the hitlist healing months back and did not dumb down the speed of clicking the skulll...
I love the whining when Kano try to sort out the cheating. You still won the Arena or finished high up except for Luke who finished 2 ahead of me after killing me, so why do you insist on supporting the cheats? As for the Skull, that should be scraped as anyone can set an auto mouse on it and walk away.........................
Ok I'll explain the exploit and I'm sure I will catch hell for it, but if you know me, then you already know, I don't give a rats ass lol. If you do a search for someones name, insead of clicking the red attack button, you can click the yellow attack/save button and hold the enter key down. It will auto attack for you. Is it a cheat? Kano knows about it and it's up to them to fix it. Removing that will cut down alot of attacks.
I got attacked hundreds of times within 30 seconds in an LCN Arena. I know how many times my mouse will respond in 5 seconds and that guy was at least 20 times quicker. We've had "Captcha's" in hunting without many complaints, so I don't see the issue with having them in Arena. The Arena was open to cheating and abuse and YES you are supporting the cheats if you want the game to go back to the way it was.
no i want the exploit gone and the speed back...and thank u james i wanted 2 say that but like u said ur gonna catch hell for it im sure,and btw i used it to from time to time
Yep. It's the same theory and scripting from when the hitlist heal worked. I'm sure they can use the same coding to remove it. If they remove it, it will cut down the attacks. Until then, I won't kill my fingers clicking attack.
