Boost Buildings - Whats up?

[Duke.0]

I installed the update recently and other people have said / showed proof with pictures of these "Boost Buildings"

I don't have them on my game. And from what i have read and seen, many people do not have these available to them.

For a Dev and/or CJ here is my info:

Guys--it's apparently a widespread bug. See the big thread on the update here:
http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?18130-update-available-in-app-store/page14

In order to make funzio aware of how widespread the problem is, go ahead and submit an in-game support report noting that you do not see the boost buildings. That will give funzio all the info about your system setup and a better idea of how many people are experiencing the problem (I'm one of the unlucky ones, too).

Yes you can, I saw what you wrote and changed my post so I could keep the info together.

I got all the Boost buildings except 1. The Time Machine (speeds up building upgrades & vault increases) Lol

INSTALLED the new update and no issues on an iphone 4, boost buildings there.

[Dover]

Has anyone who can not see these new buildings heard anything from support? I emailed them Tuesday at 9 and have not heard back from them. This is the longest support has gone without replying back. Have I missed a support post in any of the threads? I try to read most of the new ones over breakfast but may have missed a support post.

Same and have all the boost buildings but I only installed this morning so they could have patched it and not updated the version.

Now I am starting to get ticked off. After reading this I thought I would uninstall and reinstall one more time to see what happens and now I cannot see my buildings again and cannot collect 2 of my buildings to boot. I am off to send one more ticket to support and hope I get a replay within 72 hours this time. This is getting old fast. A long timer I can deal with a poor roll out of a "bug fix" that only creates more bugs irritates me.

[Wildfire]

I've tried the uninstall and reinstall, made no difference, seems more sluggish than ever and lots of rivals appear with missing avatar pictures. Starting to get really ticked off too at the lack of any official response as to what's going on, even if the response is "don't bother trying reinstalling, it won't fix it" it would be better then nothing.

I agree with both your issues. I sent in another troubleticket, will let you know if I hear anything.

Your request (#modernwar-ios-support@funzio.com) has been received, and is being reviewed by our support staff.

We will contact you via e-mail as soon as we have an update for your issue.

[JackoV]

I dont see any boosts?? The game has been updated.. What was new in here?? New buildings? o.O

Anyway im using Iphone 4s..

[JMC]

Seems like a problem with ios5. Looks like just about everyone with an iphone 4s or an ipad 2 are having the problem.

[nickname]

I have an iphone 4s with ios5. Upgraded just fine for me.

[Nolefan]

I have a gen 1 iPad also no boost buildings

Totally agree on that. They're really driving me nuts, I'm really considering getting out of MW - actually I could use the huge amount of time I lost here... It's been over 3 days without an answer... Why can't they at least send a short apology? Just a few words like "we're sorry, but looking for a solution" would stop infuriating players. They make millions with this game. Is it too much to ask? Strange thing is, until now support always worked within 24h, why are they not answering at all anymore?

By the way, I've given up - at least by now - with the boost buildings. But the lags are worse than ever and so f* annoying!!

[MaverickMunkey]

Hi Guys,

Guess what....I have just received a response from Funzio regarding an email response I sent to Support on 25th Jan about not being able to see / build the Boost buildings.

They have responded saying:

"We're rolling those buildings out and they should be available for everyone shortly."

We shall see how long 'shortly' is!

[CJ54]

The official answer is what Maverick posted above: we're in the process of rolling them out and they will be available for everyone shortly.


But the lags are worse than ever and so f* annoying!!

Most of the lag has the following cause: after the update and while the app is running, the server is streaming data from the update to your device (if you go into the About portion of the menu, you can see Version number and Data, and Data is the thing that is updating). It should subside after everything is finished updating.

When can we expect everyone to have the new buildings? And why does it take so long?

Also, any update on the casualty rate? Is this how its supposed to be or are you guys still trying to fix it? Game has been unplayable for just about everyone for the last two weeks. If this is the intended casualty rate, it was a bad move.

JMC, you are so polite. :cool:

Pot...kettle...black?!?!?!?! ;)

[Crime City Mark]

Let me see...

Boost buildings are a phased rollout that should hit everyone very soon (within the week? I can't really promise.).

Casualty rates are still being worked on. We actually have a massive PVP overhaul with a bunch of improvements coming soon. We're also working on the rival list brackets to prevent people from being attacked by someone of a much higher level.

[Tanner]

CCM,
Thanks for addressing these two major issues. Hopefully getting these ironed out will mean Modern War entering the top apps list as CC has. Anything we can do on our end to help the update rollout to us? I've tried leaving the app open in various stages of the game to no avail.

Glad to hear it's being sorted.

I have to say though that I've played "war" games on many platforms over a lot of years and I've never before come across phasing in items that can give some players an advantage over others before. Usually the way games work is that a patch or update is rolled out and you can't play on a server until your version of the game is patched to match everybody else so that nobody has either an advantage or a disadvantage. This game got an update this week and installing the update doesn't bring the new functionallity it comes as a separate phased rollout, now that's just weird to me.

[Dover]

Now I feel better going into this weekend. Thank you CCM. I am looking forward to the changes as I would like to play this game a long time. I think you just make a lot of peoples weekend.

[Tanner]

can't wait to see what 7pm tonight brings...

that can be read as sarcasm and/or just what it says.

What's out??!?

Oh now I see what's out...

Yup. The new buildings should be live across all players.

[Hugh Bris]

YES! Confirmed here too. Love the new element. thanks!

I do have boost buildings. They just popped up

Same here in iPhone 4s.

[JackoV]

yay finally..

damn Hangar uses alot space o.o

[Duke.0]

I now have boost buildings

Thanks mark for the updates!

[Toughy]

Have to say those new buildings are fairly useless. Like the one to reduce damage, which can reduce by 2%, it doesn't change much for PVP. Maybe it needs to get lvl 10. lol!!!

[Bond]

They are thre to give you something to do.

The value of the boost increases as you upgrade them - just like any other building.

Enjoy.

[Deskjockey]

So, do the individual ground/air/infantry/sea boost buildings boost just the attack of the corresponding category of units, or also their defense stats? And what is the initial boost for those buildings? Two percent? Anyone know? I'm building the airship hangar right now, but it will be 17 hours before I find out...

[Bond]

I am guessing they just boost the attack. The defense boost is covered by the Composites Factory, but requires gold.

Here's what I have so far:

Cement Factory (construction & upgrade cost): L1 -1%
Infirmary (casualty rate): L1 -2%
Genetics Lab (land unit boost): L1 ...building
Naval Reasearch Centre (sea unit boost): L1 ?
Airship Hanger (air unit boost): L1 ?

[Tramp Stamp]

Anyone have a level 3 or higher boost building yet? I'm interested in seeing if they have the same Type B algorithm as the rest. If so then that means level 10 would yield a whopping 30x base percentage.

[stupidhotsausage]

I have the level 1 Cement Factory, which should lower construction cost by 1%. The decrease is displayed visually, yet not applied to the purchase price. You can see in the background that the ore mine should be 415.8k, i have 416.1k, yet i need 420k.

Not yet.
My Cement Factory is still level 1. Once my Silo is completed i will level up that boost building alot.

[JMC]

Boost buildings increase attack and defence. 👍

The unit boost building increase both attack and defense 👍

Anybody else's cement factory work? I'm haven't upgraded yet...won't till the bugs are straightened out.:confused:

[Sgt K]

My cement factory is at level 3. So it should reduce by 3%. The lower cost is shown like JohnnyR wrote. But when I actually try to by them it would cost me the orginal price without the reudction. Strange.

I checked before and after I bought a building and I was charged the reduced amount. It may be a slight programming bug where it checks if you can afford the original price before charging the discounted price when you actually buy.

[JMC]

Yeah i just bought a space center for 11,880,000 no problem. It works. 👍

[Nicz]

I confirm ;)

I've bought cement factory and infirmary for the moment, now i hesitate if its better for me to buy the other boost buildings or continue to develop money buildings (one nuclear and two space center left)

anyone, anyone, Bueller?

I have level 10s. It goes up to 20 percent.

It sounds like you paid gold to speed up the timers but do you remember what the timers were like towards L9 and L10 for any of the buildings?

I think you've got me pegged wildfire. I believe it was in the 155 to 172 hour range. Kinda like general insane I own a reality warping device ,which in my case speeds time up at my will, or at least my pocketbooks depths as opposed to hiding imaginary buildings. My imaginary friend Gump says to quit picking on me wildfire;-)

[rarry13]

i have seen these new buildings and could not find them on my own, did not know there was a boost available. I ran into 4 bases in a row with them now I can not find them again. If you have the name of someones base how do you search and find them?

[Speed ump]

You can't, just have to search

[rarry13]

thanks for the info
