BUG/HACK Really bad.

bklyn 7 years ago updated by Justin Liu 2 years ago 26

Some player's totem kept following me around, had no minions, and seemed (only by being nearby) to be preventing me from gathering resources. Could not outrun nor attack them. Was very frustrating. Could be a bug, but this went on for a long time and it looked like the totem was definitely controlled by a person. The whole thing went on for at least ten minutes around 4:10 pm USA Eastern Time, Jan 29. Totem Pictured in screenshot as Tribe 641563.

This has happened for me to! I have even seen it happen to barbarians...

I think there is a skill point that allows you to make your minions stay in one set place

I think in castle mode (for all know as I only play in that mode) there is an upgrade called “stay” that makes your minion that you use it on stay in one place a guard the nearest meadow 

The stay tool is both in castle and tribes mode.

Yes, the stay tool lets you do that, but not with your last minion.

its either player or someone using hack by creating an ai (player totem) following its target player's name. the totem keep following you and sometimes it keep moving around but it will go back to the point of your position.. cant help.. the game doesnt have ban vote. it is annoying

I am quite sure it is a bot/hack whatever. It has a very generic way of moving, following your movement. Had the same experience for like 15 minutes. Quit the game then. Very frustrating.

I agree. The way I tend to deal with it is running trough other players (both allies and enemies) and thereby trying to make it stick to them instead. This makes it seem like it’s a bot.

How could that be an issue 1 year ago and is still not resolved...

this happend with me too

This is still an issue

When I come into a server, I check for any of these, if there are any, then I leave it and try another server.

but they multiply

Some people told me to build a castle and trap them does that work???

+3

Yes actually as a matter of fact that does work lol.I've actually seen it first person.Someone trapped that yellow bot the first guy on this page is currently talking about on this community tab,and they couldn't move anywhere.How do I know this?Simple.I was in that game lol.My name is stalins union.Quite a name huh?XD

Really? Wow thanks for the reply (: I could try that trick

And yeah your name XD its interesting

yea that does but its a pain to get the matieral and build it if you cant gather and build. 

I really want to know what hacks they use I know its wrong to use them but still I'm really intrigued 

+1

This is ruining the game! Its impossible to play like that. It would be great if the condition was that there are minions close enought, not a totem... Or maybe some button to prioritize an action and ignore the alert condition.

This has happened to me twice today. A yellow person following me around annoying me, trying to attack me. They also had no tribe behind them.

+1

It's not a 'stay' feature. That feature is there but this is more of a hack and yes it would be nice if there was something done about it. 

And I still play this game
