Are You Limited To BeING attacked by a certain ammount of hit per day, or is limiTed to 300k$ a day? What are the requirements for immunity and how long does it last?

There is no such thing as immunity.

Someone can attack you 20x and then has a cooldown of a few hours before they can attack you again, but that cooldown only applies to the person who beat you up and only applies to fights. Other players can still fight you and anyone (strong enough) can rob you anytime you have something available.

That's actually false. It's a global cooldown and once you are attacked by someone else to the limit, no one else can attack you until that limit is over. Raiding can still happen but not attacking.

That used to be true but has not been for quite some time. There is no such thing as immunity.

When a friend and I both have a direct link to the same rival we can both visit and attack them 20-0 simultaneously. Explain that if there is still a global cooldown.

Both are true. When many attack the same target simultaneously, the target can get hit up to 20 times by each attacker. Thereafter, the cooling period is about 2 hr and nobody can attack the target within this period. For lower level targets, they can only be hit less than 20 times, depending on their level.

In the above example I can wait a few minutes and still attack the same rival as my friend. Just wait until some non-bankers show up and post how they can lose an unlimited amount of cash to attackers. Maybe not a big or even noticeable issue for lower levels, as many of their rivals will be avoiding XP like the plague and therefore not engaging in a lot of fighting, but at higher levels people do fight more since XP becomes meaningless.

There is no more cooldown period. Certainly not 2 hours. I was attacked 40 times in 5 minutes yesterday, and it's not the first time. Still not worth banking.

I guess you are unlucky enough to be hit by more than 1 rival at around the same time. For me, I also can get hit by multiple rivals at around the same time for a total of more than 20 hits in total (especially during box events where players are trying to get boxes) but after the attacks stop, I don't get any more attack for around 2 hrs. So I think there is still a cooling period.

Smh...

The cooldown applies to the person who attacked you, not directly to you. People still avoid XP, or simply get bored attacking because it's mostly pointless, so it shouldn't be some big mystery as to why you aren't being constantly pummelled.

Sometimes I go days without being attacked. Sometimes my news doesn't last two hours.

Sorry Benji, you are incorrect on this matter.

Well I'm glad this got all sorted out.

Weasel, I hate to bust your bubble but it is you who is incorrect. How is it when I have 107 stamina(solely for getting bricks) and when I go through my rivals feed, and start attacking rivals only to cross a name that I have never attacked. lets attack away, how is it, I get the message that "this rival cannot be attacked" ?
especially when the person has cash on hand.
I hope this does not get the response" maybe you don't remember" or the such. I also run across this with my main account, to which I barely attack anyone, unless their iph warrants it. and even then, I visit their hood and their is no little "gun image' hanging over their head while walking around. I am pretty sure I never attacked that particular person with my main account only to be told "this player cannot be attacked".
That only makes me think this is globally, that any player can only be attacked a max of 20x every 2hrs

That's a glitch that happens sometimes. News flash, this game is far from perfect and will always have various glitches. This one doesn't happen that often and the impact is minimal, so I can live with it. It's a teensy bit annoying, but there are worse things.

I have also noticed that the game will not allow you to attack a rival who is a certain number of levels below you, even if they appear on your rivals list. I believe the level difference is roughly 50-51 levels, but I have not been able to verify that. I can tell you for a fact, if you find someone on your list 51 levels below your own level you can rob them but not attack them. Even if they do have the little gun icon above their character.

I remember sending a ticket a while ago, asking what happened to the 2h cooldown period we used to have.
Nice lady named Amy told me i should buy more defense building.

I was told a good bit back, may have been A&F, that the cool down period still applies for all players trying to hit you unless you engage in a pvp action yourself. Then it resets for any player that has not already hit you 20 times. Not sure of the validity but from my experience it holds true.

I have not robbed or attacked people since the 11 hour war finished, so going by that theory I should have a global cooldown of however long. I am almost sure it's longer than 2 hours these days.

I have been attacked 20-0 many times since Saturday, and many of those occasions were separated by anywhere from 5 minutes to under an hour. Several were also simultaneous, you can tell because you get a fresh news story from each rival if they weren't the last person to hit you.

That wouldn't be possible if the "A&F theory" were completely true. Maybe that's how "they" think it works or intend for it to work, but my own personal experience tells me otherwise.

That very well could be true. I have noticed that times where I have not logged in for extended period there seems to be gaps in the attacks on my news feed.
