Bug or not ?

History
World 19 Spain World Forgotten Attacks Beta
(Date and time in screenshot)

A forgotten camp begins to attack one of my bases that is in a zone of four waves.
My base destroys a forgotten base and happens to be in a zone of three waves.
The forgotten camp launches its second attack on my base.
I launched an attack on the forgotten camp and destroyed it.
The forgotten camp launches a third attack on my base although it is destroyed.
The forgotten camp launches a fourth attack on my base although it is destroyed.

Questions:
- If I'm no longer in a four-wave zone, why does it throw me four waves?
- If the forgotten camp no longer exists, why does it keep attacking me?
- From my point of view they seem like errors of the game, am I right?

  • This has been the case for a long time, probably since forgotten attacks started. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that a sub-routine is started when the forgotten attack and once started no further check is made to see how many waves or even if the forgotten base exists.

    It is also the case that if an attacking player base is destroyed during an attack it continues to the end and doesn't stop despite no base existing.

    Both events are probably best described as a 'feature', which in plain English means that it is a bug that isn't likely to be corrected.
  • Maybe @Elephterion will see it as a bug to go in the list of bugs to be corrected rather than a feature.

    Maybe and I just say "maybe" it would be acceptable to not detect that the number of waves has dropped.

    But if I can not launch attacks when my base has been destroyed, the forgotten ones should not either.

    In both cases it seems to me that these are game errors but I preferred to ask before securing it.

    Hehehehe, the routines can be modified and corrected, obviously. ;-)
  • I'll see what I can find out here. I'll have to assume that wavy still works as intended and gives you correct values.

    Yes, I hope my Wavy works correctly.
    Note: In the screenshot you can see that there are 39 bases remaining and they are 3 waves. Before I destroyed the forgotten base I marked 40 of its bases and they are 4 waves. (If my calculations do not fail)
    But it's strange that a base that is destroyed (does not exist) keeps attacking you (at least two attacks from hell), it's a bad thing.

    Today again a new attack from a forgotten bases that was destroyed (World Forgotten Attacks Beta).

    In a three waves zone, I destroy the forgotten base at his second attack.

    When it was destroyed start a third attack against me. :-(

    Date and time in the screenshoot.
