I haven't changed anything, it's based on google's algorithm of captchas. They figure out the best ones to prevent bots.

Oh and for the record, what exactly do you think the benefit of scripting to farm on a game with a hard limit on AT's actually is? I log in maybe 15-20 times a day with my 2 accounts, each, take 15s each most of those times to buy some fleets or CS slots then go back to other things that do not involve the game. Twice a day i do a 5-10 minute farm run per account to prevent me from over-filling on AT's and for a dmu boost. Total play time each day is i would guess 30 minutes per account, which involves my 2 farm runs plus the other 13-18 times i log in to spend accumulated income.

You adding 30s-5mins every **Filtered** log in due to retarded capcha **Filtered** has taken my time spent on this **Filtered** from 30 mins to well over 60 mins, whilst adding ZERO to my enjoyment and 2 billion percent to my annoyance.

Do you not ask yourself before you add **Filtered** like this whether it makes the players enjoyment more or less?

**Filtered** ridiculous!!

Another point, about the only way to gain an advantage would be to monitor and hit ppt misses. Easy fix for that is to just make anyone on ppt automatically change from earning DMU to earning lifeforce. That way you don't have to fist-**Filtered** the rest of the game with a crap captcha

Im the first one to say PPT were huge and they do have a huge benefit with some hits, but I said this about 10 months ago, I also said about them making dmu while de-ascended, which in the end got changed for the better, if I didn't I would be tagging them for much higher amounts.

Im not sure why the captcha was put in place but im quite sure its not for ppt hits.

If it was to stop scripts its not working, because im still doing what I have always done, use the clock and time my hit and Im still hitting the ppts, so if ppl are running scripts to try and hit them, there scripts suck because im still tagging them.

My understanding is that a script will hit it as soon as possible that can not be the case if I hit ppts mid turn.

08:50 ******* Attack 65,311,189,185,438,000 Dark Matter Units taken

On time

Nov 18, 13:24 ******* Attack 13,700,570,305,086,000 Dark Matter Units taken

4 mins after turn change

Nov 16, 15:24 ****** Attack 18,561,252,348,787,300 Dark Matter Units taken

again 4 mins

Nov 12, 08:43 ****** Attack 9,474,192,848,886,800 Dark Matter Units taken

23 mins past

Nov 09, 12:32 ******** Attack 12,319,240,520,576,400 Dark Matter Units taken

12 mins past

The rest I either hit on time , though was a couple I forgot about.

9/10 I get, the times I don't is ive forgot or been chatting while drinking.

So as I said I do not think its because of that.

I agree with you mate, i'm just pointing out that there are better ways to fix the problem that both of us strongly suspect doesn't even exist in the 1st place. Punishing the entire playerbase for people using a script to log in to a server where the advantage of doing so is, at best, minimal, is beyond retarded.

stupid **Filtered** captcha's -.-

can never read them, never!

was this really necessary? the original numbers were a pain in the ass at times, but atleast it was simple enough to be done at some measure of speed.

i spent about 5 minutes hitting the refresh button to get something i could read -.-
NOT what i want to be doing if i need to switch between accounts in a heated time frame...

Not seen a single captcha that's been even remotely hard to read so far, even on my phone I just zoom in and job done. You all got really bad eyesight or something? :razz:

Screenshot an example of a bad one.

I've had no problems thus far. I appreciate the current and rolling time change, wish we had that in Main so Nox wasn't a guessing game on seconds, or requiring a watch. The profiles look just about as organized as they were before the change. Overall, I like it. Thanks Sol. :smt060

I know how long the Nox in main and ascended are. I'd just rather not irritate the already existing tennis elbow by spamming enter, or clicking attack a thousand times.

Spamming enter?

WTH really.

Just hold the button down, find something with some weight, place on enter button, go make a drink come back 5 mins later then repair, do it again.

To hard to do?
