A quick fix

[Jan`go Vhett]

This would be for Main.
I have noticed when I try to attack a couple people it tells me that they are to low in power for me to hit when in fact they are generally higher in power than me.
Well when you look at it a little closer most of these it winds up making you try to attack someone whose name is the same as the one wanted to attack's number.
So an easy fix for this would be requiring a letter in your account name.
I see no reason why anyone would have a problem with this unless they are taking advantage of this bug.

That won't fix it, and as for now, I'd suggest you just copy the name you want to attack that always works..

[Jan`go Vhett]

Yeah it does work for attacking them.
Yes though my idea would work to fix it.
The way it happens is someone has the same name as the guy you are trying to attack's number.
When you click on a name it puts the number in as who you are trying to attack on the War screen.
But when you attack from there it searches names first then numbers.
So if you are required to have a letter in your name then someone can't use numbers that match their number on an alt so that it targets the alt instead of them.
It would obviously require names that are only numbers to add a letter or be deleted.
Give the account say 3 days to do this.

Ok, well I have had it with an alt of mine, and if you do as what you say to do, then [in my eyes] it won't fix it.

Example:
I wanted to hit Odyssea(#2) with my alt, press his name then the 2 came in the screen, but when you hit the attack button, it sais, this commander is too low for you to attack (something close to that)..

But then it doesn't attack odyssea, it attacks a person who's name ENDS with a 2 (forgot his name) it was probably something like: Name2 so... he did have letters in his name...
Now you believe me it won't work??

[Jan`go Vhett]

As far as my experience with this goes it only work if their name is the exact same as someone else's id number.
I really don't think that someone being named 'name2' or whatever would make you attack them instead of Odyssea.

Wouldt it fix it if you reverse the searching... looking for the player number before names

[Spayed]

just make it so that you cant use an id # as your name

[A^Bloody^Idiot]

Spayed that wouldn't fix it if you look at my previous post

As for Jan`go Vhett, I wouldn't post it for nothing, as I had it myself, just try it, and you'll see for yourself that when you typ in ID: 2, you won't be attacking the admin, but some guy at power: 250.500 or sumthing...

But FTP's solution would solve the problem (I think + hope)

But it does search names before ID's 'cus I remember when back in the old days player: 42 was active in AoF, I sent him several mails while I sent it to: 42, and he all received them, and not ID 42...

[Jan`go Vhett]

Private 2 (#58965)

Thats who it tries to attack.
So just the exact same name as ID number.

[A^Bloody^Idiot]

Oh, I appologise then, I thought Private was part of his name...

[Jan`go Vhett]

Lol its ok your just a bloody idiot anyways

[FTP]

Pew pew 

[Spayed]

meh its not really a big problem anyway. but it should be fixed, there could be the opportunity to abuse it..

[Jan`go Vhett]

Yeah not a big problem but I figured since he is busy doing stuff on Main might as well fix this too.

[Spayed]

yea might as well.

just not sure on the best way to fix it.
