This game is a scam. I purchased $20 for a stockpile of cash today. Started buying units and the next thing i know the game says I was raided for $299,000!!!!!! within 2 minutes of buying the stockpile of cash? I have NEVER seen that amount of money raided from me at all in this game. DO NOT BUY anything from this game. You will get scammed... I have reported this to apple and my credit card company has been put on notice. I have sent a complaint to funzio to no avail. This is an outrage

THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT I SPEND $20 and the game takes the money from me within 2 minutes.

BE VERY AWARE THAT THIS GAME IS A SCAM! They have people that know when you are buying stuff and they have people raid you for an unreal amount of game money! Should this happen to you REPORT it IMMEDIATLY to apple.

Its not really a scam, just people checking other peoplea bases pretty constantly and i guess the guy saw you with the cash out just two minutes after you bought it. Bad luck on your side.

Ive probably made my last like 60million off attacking people with millions of dollars out.

In fact i actually noticed that they are trying to protect people with lots of cash out. When i attack people with no cash or anything, they show up on the rivals list pretty constantly even after theyve been killed. Ive been hunting down people with lots of cash out and let me tell you they only show up for a few seconda every couple of hours.

I have NEVER seen $299,000 go that fast... The most I have ever seen taken was like 40,000... and all within 2 minutes... this is a scam! im calling bs!

You lose 10% of the cash that you have outside of your vault when you lose an attack. The maximum amount you can lose is 300000. If the most youve ever seen is 40000 loss than i assume the most you e ever had outside your vault was 400000.

There should be a limit as to how many times a given player can attack another in the same day. I am being targeted by a player who attacks me at least 50 times in a 24 hour period. The game is no longer enjoyable for me and I don't have any incentive to purchase things with my real money. This player Is targeting others too based on his comment feed. I understand attacking people is the point of the game, but this is ridiculous. I want to delete my profile.

Agree, happened to me for about a week straight. How do you target people anyway, is there a search where you can go to a particular person? Sorry if this is a stupid question, the only way I raid or attack is with the scope button where who comes up is random?

There should be a time limit WHEN YOU PURCHASE MONEY!

I was in the middle of buying stuff when I was attacked 2 minutes after I BOUGHT money for this game..

DO NOT BUY MONEY! Let the company lose money if they dont want to protect the people spending money on the game

Players are just constantly checking you profile and when they saw ur money is way more than the possible vault limit ,then they just regularly atk. And scream after did this to ur base...
I know how you feel when you get ****d 20 +times a day. Cause I've already done this to 2 ppl and made them rage quit this game. I was O_O when I saw their base with a naked command center. I found those idiots through News , cause they happened to atk me back.
Just spend 3 mins to collect ur income and turn all the extra outta vault money into expand,building or troop.
Then sharks will lose interest on you.

I also get raided right after I collected 300k from my base and get pissed for few mins.
The only problem for this game is top lvl players atk and lose issue, the rest of it are just perfect.

There is no scam here. Before you start throwing money on a free game you should learn how to play it first. There is a vault for protecting in game cash.....it works quite well.....figure it out.

How does a game justify charging people and then letting them get ****d within 2 minutes?...

and the Vault only covers 50,000... I didnt even get a chance to put money in the vault.... THATS A SCAM! how does the developers justify this?

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN THIS GAME...

@JMC

I've lost $160,000 in one night to one player. Not a gold buyer, a few weeks ago, and only 1200 more attack than my defense.

Within the last week, I lost another $150,000 to another player, same ballpark of stats.

Neither time did I have anywhere NEAR a 10% loss max of out of vault cash. It was PILES AND PILES of cash I didn't have vaulted.

Two safe conclusions you can draw from this:
1. You can lose FAR more than 10% of your out of vault cash.
2. I have the tendency to forget to vault cash from time to time.

Ok suppose you have 1,000,000 sitting outside your vault and you are attacked and lose
You lose 100,000 leaving 900,000
player hits attack again, you lose 90,000 leaving 810,000
player hits attack again, you lose 81,000 leaving 729,000
they can do this till you are too weak to fight.
If the attacks are nearly immediately one after the other the game will probably report the above 3 attacks as you were attacked by player x and lost 271,000 which is why it appears to be way more than 10%

Hope that explains it a bit better.

It's a game. I lost 380,000 in one attack coz one job finished while I was asleep. But it's just a game. I don't normally raid people for money. If you can't have fun here then you can quit. Otherwise, you should start to learn how to play? Most important is to keep yourself happy. Whatever achievement you get here has nothing to do with real life....

Sweet Jesus....

Don't purchase over a million game dollars of cash unless you have a plan to spend it IMMEDIATELY.

Saying 'The vault is only $50k' means that you must have not bothered to build up your base to be anywhere near ready to handle that kind of cash.

I don't pay real money for this game. The only way I would do it is if I had an expansion slot, construction and upgrade ready that would take all the cash I couldn't vault.

You were unlucky, screaming and reporting to credit card companies, God and the FBI just makes it clear how little you know about this game.

I just replied to the duplicate post over in the Tech forums, but in short: We have a bug with the newsfeed. It is displaying multiple attacks from the same person as one bigger attack. When you see big numbers in one attack, what happened was someone attacked you five times (until you were temporarily too weak to fight) and the nesfeed shows the aggregate number.

What do you think I was doing? I was spending! I DIDNT EVEN GET A CHANCE TO SPEND IT! How do you justify losing all the money within 2 minutes?

So your a developer? How do you sleep knowing you scam people that play your game? $20 I thought that would help me in the game ended up a donation to you... you should be ashamed that you do not look out for people that SPEND money on your free game.... COMPLETELY SHAMEFUL!

Don't cry out scam when you don't know how to play.

You should have bought gold (no one can take gold from you) and purchase income producing buildings from that gold.

My current vault limit is $1M but even though I had about 2M on me saved this morning while waiting for an upgrade to
finish to start another one I didn't even receive a single attack or lose anything.

When you buy cash you can benefit from it only once, when you buy gold to buy money buildings you benefit from that forever until you quit.

I thought this was intended behavior. Personally I'd rather see the aggregate so that I have a longer history.

I bought the money with the intention of using it immediately to boost my units not to let it sit there. As I am purchasiing the units I get the newsfeed saying that $299,000 has been raided from my bank!!!! all within 2 minutes of spending $20. I didnt even get a chance to put it in a vault. What is the point of buying money from this game if you cant even do anything with it? ITS A SCAM!

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS GAME CONTINUE TO PLAY FREE UNTIL THE DEVELOPERS START TO USE ADS AND/OR CHARGE YOU FOR IT

Confusing who? There is nothing to be confused about a SCAM is a SCAM.... You people are just as bad as those Nigerians who send you those emails saying that you have alot of money overseas.

Ive seen $20 dollars last longer on casino tables then in your game...

How do you expect people to continue to spend money on your free games when they cant even use the money they buy?

Can we aggregate everything but also list the numbers of attacks and raids in the main listing. A sub listing could be used to break things down for people who want more details.

The problem I have with it is the lost cash is aggregated, but it only displays a few of the lost units if hit multiple times not the whole lot lost as far as I can see. At the same time I'd rather see in the morning that I'd been attacked a few times overnight rather than the dozens of hits it really was, so swings and roundabouts really. Maybe it should say you were attacked x times by "player" and lost whatever.

I have to agree about the retardedness of the poster. People will raid u if u have unprotected money so don't be a retard and leave it unprotected. U had 2 minutes to vault it but then your too dub to upgrade your vault high enough to protect it. Your the type of muppet who would set fire to a $20 bill and then blame the match. Next time learn a little about a game before trying to buy your advantage. Your credit card company must be laughing at your complaint.

I'll pass this feedback on to the other devs.

I felt bad for you for a minute thinking you made a mistake with a lack of knowledge and got smashed for it but the way you have carried on since like a stupid child just makes me think good job you are an idiot and deserve it you were dumb enough to buy cash instead of gold and with a pathetic vault which shows a lack of knowledge to how the game works but then to spam a forum continuously crying because you are an idiot.......good job hope you needed that $20 you blew.

Or more likely you are just trolling and posting for a laugh because it is pretty hard to believe anyone who has levelled past L3 could be that stupid

There are many issues in this game that need to be addressed by the devs. The minor fact that five attackes are added together and only reported once is not one of them.

An understandable sentiment, but again, it confuses a great many people who never see numbers that high when *they* attack. Most of those other issues that I suspect you are referring to are not as easy to diagnose or address.

I was attacked multiple times by a gold buyer and he took just over 700,000 from me. Sucks, but I don't blame the game for this. It's war. I did take a screenshot, in case anyone calls BS :) It's a small setback, but nothing huge.

I agree, this is a game. Learn how to play and enjoy it. If it is not fun for you, then stop playing by all means. I have had some people get nasty and personal after an attack. I reward them with total destruction for a while, usually quiets them down. In the beginning I lost a good bit more than you, way more. But with time I learned better how to deal with how the game is played. If everyone just gave up after the first try, no one would ride bikes, or walk.

You certainly got me into thinking...
I've noticed the change of the size of your army. I'm just wondering how you managed to eliminate(disband) tons of your excessive units.

I have 300+ submarine and 500+ flamethrower which are fairly vulnerable.

it baffled me when i saw your army size barely made 1950, are you only keeping the units hard to lose?

Speed ump
01-15-2012, 10:46 PM
No, after the changes this Friday I lost about 10000 over just a day and a half from attacking. I can attack someone with just 2k and still lose several units. Also there were hidden goals I could accomplish by attacking, but those all seem to be gone, which used to earn valor points I could buy more units with. Now I am raiding instead of attacking, which I am sure the other players appreciate less. So in a way I am keeping the gold units by attrition, and losing the lower ones.
