[Fixed] Server go boinkers again ? (in General)

Error messages on all fights, 10 minute suspensions and all that jazz...

Yep, not safe to fight right now.

Screw it, i'll go to bed rather than try burning 300 BA then :/

very annoying.

Your ability to fight has been disabled for 20 minutes. Note that multiple suspensions will result in longer penalties, however you will continue to regenerate BA

To prevent this from occurring in the future, make sure that the fight page has finished loading before trying to fight again.

Fighting is working fine for me, and has been for XP time... I'm not sure what the problem is.

Found it.. obscure little bugger. I reset all suspensions.

I think clan points might be broken too.
455 successful attacks by me on clan targets in last 24h, 467 incoming attacks on me total, negative 624 clan points.

Yeah I noticed that Clan Points are behaving strangely too.

Fixed this some time last before midnight last night.

Gotcha, so not retroactive, but only from that moment on.

It started doing it again !

Yup, you beat me to it. I noticed more active players but less fighting going on?...

This,
is,
so,
freakin',
annoying :/

While I admit that introducing new bugs blows, at least I'm trying to fix things.

We need a few clones of you to have 24/7 overage of bug squashing :p

Hmm, now it's throwing suspensions without even the CPU warning page showing up beforehand...

Can we PLEASE lower the suspension period at least temporarily ?

Working fine for me o.O

why not just disable the suspensions UNTIL all of these bugs are fixed. ^_^ It would make it easier if you want to introduce bugs to the game lol.

Not like they *want* to introduce bugs :p

I find cb to be slow this session.

To do that would require always having CB allow limitless fight clicking.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean.
Isn't the limited amount of BA supposed to stop that from happening, not fight suspensions ?
Or is there some weird stuff I'm unaware of that would make the BA limit not matter anymore if you kill the suspensions thing ?
That's weird.

Without fight suspensions, people could hammer the server with a billion Fights a second. Only one fight at a time would go through, but we'd be screwed over because of all of the overhead of the denial traffic.

As it is, when people do trigger server errors, they typically try to hammer the server to check if it's fixed every few nanoseconds.

So put the fight suspension on a 6 second timer at start instead of 10 minutes with the same percentage ramp-up (so, basically, divide all current suspension times by 100). People who genuinely get this by accident once in a while should not be bothered much, while people seeking to willfully abuse it would end up exactly where they would have ended up anyway, just a bit later.

I don't think I could do 6 seconds, but I could definitely drop it to like.. a minute. I'll look into it. Meanwhile, this bug is fixed.

One minute as base sounds reasonable.
I assume the added penalties later are proportional to that, not fixed ?

It's a multiple of times that you've been suspended since cache flush.

I don't seem to be having any problems, today or last night
