Title: New Servers
Post by: Cameron07 on September 26, 2011, 01:36:56 PM
Since we have the new fast servers can we throw out the old rule you can only attack every 3 seconds.. It's kind of annoying when attacking aliens and such... you have to wait

that would be rly cool... tho i can see dday being a problem so I'll offer this fix - how about removing the 3 second rule, then simply re-enabling it for dday so we dont crash the servers...

Not sure it matters on DDAY, does it?

Not many people are ever even on for DDAY lately, and with a faster server it's not like someone with dial up can spam the attack button and raid someone's base a million times.

One gripe with faster server though, is 9/10 you have to use each pinpointer individually, whereas before I could just click 30 times or so and find all the aliens. Maybe add in a selection of how many probes to send out?

well the transfer brought quite a few new glitches, perhaps that is just another one Emi could fix? idk i havnt tried using probes since the switch...
stations and SAB were producing double for about a day there, but thats been fixed I think

I never saw either of those producing double for me, but then, I don't pay attention to how much I make...

I hope one of the lasting glitches isn't the server login. I dunno about anyone else but sometimes I will go to login and the page will just blankout.

The 3 second rule was set on the server so you couldn't create loops like:

Hit the attack button on a contract 1000 times during the page loading time, (which you can delay) giving you the mission reward 1000x, draining 1000x the turns, but would only take away 1 contract or encounter etc.

The same thing can be done hitting people, if you attack fast enough you can actually get in several hits before the person enters a nebula.

okay so would lowering it to 1 second prevent that?

Most probably... yes

I'm going to look into this, we may be able to reduce the time to 1 second and 3 seconds during DDAY...

Will have this ready along with the other updates scheduled, we got a few for Wars and a few for Elite coming.
