Fighting Suspensions (in General)


Relic October 22 2007 4:09 PM EDT

I am getting this when I fight. I am doing nothing out of the ordinary. What is happening?

Didn't I say it's not polite to fight more than one battle at a time? You'll have to wait about 10 minutes now for fight to be reenabled.

(Multiple suspensions will result in longer penalties.)

I got one of those as well. And it came after attempting to fight someone and getting a server error (that I've never gotten before). I'm quite sure I was only fighting one at a time. I'm no fast click click clicker!

I get this when I fight a high evasion minion. I think when the character is switching gears the program lags on calculating the evasion level and therefore your fighting gets lagged. Eventually it things your fighting 2 battles if you hit "fight" again.

Happens to me when I fight Dudemus' character..

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] October 22 2007 4:25 PM EDT

it just now took me 1 minute and 20 seconds from the time i hit the train link to the time it refreshed and was finished. the time is increasing for me quite dramatically. i am going to train every second and see if i can bring cb to its knees!

Ok, now I am getting this...

Carnage Blender οΎ» Your Minions are still fighting!

To allow everyone fair access to the limited cpu resources, each user may only be in one fight at a time.

If you clicked on fight before your last one finished, you will get this error. Remember, 'your last one' could have been a challenge page, so moving to another activity is NOT safe at this point.

This is open to abuse since it's so easy to create new user accounts. Creating multiple user accounts is illegal, but rather than make that process more onerous for legitimate new users (such as by email verification, which in any case is trivial to spoof), we've chosen as the most foolproof method to additionally limit fighting on an IP address basis for non-Supporters. This means that if you're behind a firewall that makes multiple computers appear to share the same IP, your fights will conflict with others from behind your firewall.

What gives?

Relic October 22 2007 4:31 PM EDT

I waited over 10 minutes and simply clicked fight when I got that.

Relic October 22 2007 5:11 PM EDT

OK I got the same message two posts ago.

I have narrowed it down to fighting "House Stark" from the user bolfen linked here http://www.carnageblender.com/shared/community-member.tcl?user_id=795

Can an admin or Jonathan look into this problem?

QBRanger October 22 2007 5:21 PM EDT

House Stark has evasion, that is the problem. Well known and multiple times documented.

Until something is done with the lag time evasion's calculations are performed, nothing will change.

Relic October 22 2007 7:12 PM EDT

Holy cow, it is happening on multiple of my opponents. I don't think my evasion is high enough to cause this. Can this please be looked in to? I am about to go over the BA cap and start losing BA.

QBsutekh137 October 22 2007 7:57 PM EDT

I have huge Evasion and fight high Evasion characters -- I rarely have the fight timeouts... It does happen sometime, but I usually find it is something on my end...

Are we sure this is reproducible back to Evasion? Maybe Evasion on targets doesn't affect me since I am all magic damage, but I am not sure the game would forego the Evasion calculation by knowing to look at the opponent and see they have nothing physical attacking...

QBRanger October 22 2007 9:07 PM EDT

For me it only happens when I attack Dudemus' character. And only when he is training or moving equipment and the program has to calculate his massive evasion.

When I had evasion, I found the program bogged down when its level was about 1M after items.

48Zach October 22 2007 9:15 PM EDT

Evasion: 1,078,000/700,000 (115)

No lag for me

QBRanger October 22 2007 9:17 PM EDT

Soon Champ, soon.

Just a matter of time.

Relic October 22 2007 9:57 PM EDT

First fight works just fine

Second gives me a white internal server error page

Third gives me:

Text of Internal Server Page

Server Error
The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server.

Relic October 22 2007 10:10 PM EDT

This character is also causing server errors when I try and fight them.

lol note that he has no evasion :)

AdminJonathan October 22 2007 11:50 PM EDT

I fixed a bug with RBF + ax/exbow, but I'm not sure if this is what was affecting you because you don't seem to be using any ranged weapon.

Relic October 22 2007 11:51 PM EDT

I am currently Blacksmithing an ExBow, so it might have been in the shop as it were when you looked.
