repeat attacking a target, h/f affect

[willymchilybily]

how long does it take after attacking a target before you can attack them again with out suffering honour loss. i mean if i hit some one, then a few weeks later they are bigger and like 90% of me and i attack them again will i still get negative honour?

how long is the cool down??

Asked on IRC about this a couple of days ago and a couple of people (including the Azzman) said it depends on how many times you hit them. Starting off at around 1 day for 1 attack, but increasing the cool down period if you hit them multiple times during this period.

So i'd assume anymore than a week without hitting them at all and you'll definitely be back in the clear.

(never got a definite time frame, im guessing only azzer knows for sure)

i think the specific figures were released at one point... though i honestly cant remember what they are.

While these figures aren't gospal, from memory I remember it being something like:
1 attack = 1 day
2 attacks = 3 days
3 attacks = 5/6 days
etc...
But they could've been changed since then

I have a slightly different question regarding repeat attacking

I attacked a mate of mine about 13 hours ago last night. He is attacking me now. Now if i attack him back, do i still suffer the same l/f losses?

Im kindof hoping that if we attack each other alternatively* then the fact it is a retal will negate the effect of repeat attacking

*This is NOT mutual attacking. We have no plans to do so, i just want to take this opportunity to get more land off him without losing L/F

btw, if anyone knows for sure about how long you have to wait before repeat attacking, that would be useful for a lot of people.

Thanks

~24 hours before the initial repeat attack counter wears off.

~24 hours before the initial repeat attack counter wears off.

thats for the second time you attack?

thought that if you attack for the 3th time it quatridribbels or something

Stop dribbling everywhere atsan, I thought I told you to go see a doctor about that.

With regards to this, I don't think that it changes even though he is attacking you, although I'm not sure. I mean, thinking about it from a target that is out of your range, if you retal, surely you don't expect positive honour?

But I might be wrong. Don't quote me on it

 

[Alvestein]

but logically it seems like a retal should make a difference? but i agree with Freddster here that i don't think at this moment it has any effect on it.

also as a rule of thumb i just avoid attacking anyone again until 24 hours after the initial attack. i think if you don't trigger the first h/f punishment then it just keeps resetting to 24hours?

All these ideas sound all fair and good - I like the idea of things being made more difficult for high ranking players. At least then they will actually have to prove they are good at this game as a whole, rather than robotically being active for three solid days to ruin the round competition for everyone.
