Hey everyone,
Just a quick note that we've improved the accuracy of the times displayed in your News Feed. Now fractions of a second in the "X seconds ago" text will display for up to 10 seconds, instead of just 1 second as it was before. The seconds are also properly rounded normally now (i.e. 1.5->2.0 instead of 1.5->1.0), instead of rounded down, so you won't see up to 6 attacks marked as "1 second ago."

This is due to player concerns that some players were allegedly exceeding the 3 attacks/second limit imposed by the server. This is a per-player limit that is tracked on the server, and it can't be exceeded, even if players are using multiple devices. Please note that this update fixes an issue in the display of the times; the server attack limit was working as expected, as it has since September of 2012. As always, please let us know if you have any feedback!

How about multiple device healing limits!

Even though you said it can't be exceeded, no matter what, some will still get blamed, no matter what. It's never ending.

That's all well and good, but what about the drought situation in so cal? I shouldn't have to ration my water usage

The best way to solve that bullshit is to make sure people that have their account on multiple devices only be able to log on one device at a time.

Oh jeez! Now it's obvious that Nick hates BAIC. It's so obvious he's taking 👯Sinsemble's👯 side on this one!

This is due to player concerns that some players were allegedly exceeding the 3 attacks/second limit , even if players are using multiple devices.

Simples👍👍 there should be no reason to have 2 devices connected at the same time
