    [REQUEST] Results Button in Banish Event

    I wanted to get peoples opinions on this because it sort of seems like a no brainer.

    Why is there not a results button during the Banish events of Cerb and Baal? Currently players have to manually refresh their browsers on hits over 3-4 million damage otherwise they will miss out on turns for the event. There is a set respawn timer after you hit the banish boss before you can attack again, however those attacks greater than 3-4 mil for most people take longer than that for the animation.

    Why would Tynon purposefully want players creating a mini DoS attack every time causing unwanted additional lag and stress on the server? Are the result buttons that are already coded in for lab, arena, questing mobs, farming mobs, seas battles, etc... not able to work for Banish events?

    I know with the current Results button a results box pops up and requires a OK to be pressed, which I can assume would cause issues for the people who can start the event but not be around for the whole thing (want to let it run on auto), so I'm hoping there is a way to force out of that like Ragnarok does when the 1 minute is up, if you haven't pressed the OK button or are still fighting (not pressed results), it forces you out and continues the auto attacking if that box is checked. That or allow the results button to not require a separate OK button click. If the results button is pressed, just to be respawned at the front again so they can move towards the boss again and wait on the cooldown timer.

    I'm hoping there is another reason behind not putting in a results button so that it makes more sense that one is not there.

    Dawn, I don't intend for this thread to be a whine thread, so I hope it doesn't come off that way or turn into one. I more so hope that by bringing this up, we can let the developers know that it would be incredibly nice for the players. Especially those with lesser computers that start having issues with constantly refreshing and reloading the flash based game.

    Thanks

    *Edit* wow messed up option 2 of the poll and cant change it... should be "is stupid" rather than "of stupid". Sorry.

    actually i totally disagree,and this is why,if they added a results button,that means you would be able to skip the fight and not have to wait for a timer to attack again.
    this would be terrible,because players just spam the results button,and therefor banish would become a game of "who has the fastest clicking finger" .

    Actually, I agree with this one.

    My only qualm is, Tynon has already implemented this before.

    BUT

    Players complained about it, since they can't use auto.

    SO

    Tynon took it out after a few days.

    Can't we have both? Have two check boxes...one "Auto Fight" and the other "Auto Skip". If you have both checked, Tynon will move your hero and skip every fight. If you have only auto fight, you can still watch the fights.

    We complained because they already had the mechanism to skip a fight and not have to stare at a results screen. All we wanted removed was the results screen, or a time-out of the results screen after a few seconds. No reason we can't have a button to skip the fight without a results screen.

    I do not agree with it being like Rag. If the next fight starts right away you will not be able to see the progress bar or the top 10 standings. Also, some people may want to see the entire fight because they are checking formations. The only real solution is the check box that suppresses the fight scene.

    Yeah Andy, I don't really care what the solution ends up being. There has to be a better way than what people are currently doing which is having to refresh their browser, load in, wait for the event to show up, click auto-fight again, run to the limit (to the right near the stairs) and wait for the timer. Forcing people to refresh like that to remain competitive seems silly, and like a waste of resources for tynon.
