Hey all, we encountered an issue with the current dataset that was rolled out a little earlier tonight. So we had to roll it back to fix it.

This is causing the following:

-The boss won't show up. That's okay, the boss will be back soon.

-Some of your recently-purchased or won items might show up as 0/0 non-items. This will be okay; until we get the data-set back up, those items "don't exist" client-side but they DO EXIST server-side, it's still actually in your inventory, etc. Once we roll the dataset back out in the morning it will fix itself and the items will show back up properly on your device.

-Your stats may be lower than normal. This is due to the item above; in an actual fight your stats will calculate normally because what the server sees is correct. again, this will be fixed when we roll the dataset back out.

In short, nothing's lost and we'll have everything showing back up asap, it just looks weird and scary temporarily.

We apologize for the temporary inconvenience and unintentional fear caused, and are putting some processes in place to prevent this in the future.

EDIT: We've released the new build, so if you are still having issues, please close the app and then open it again. That will update you to the current data.

-CJ

This sounds mysteriously familiar...quick someone see how many BPs you are getting from a rival compared to earlier today! LOL

EDIT: In other news, perhaps it really was easier to beat the bosses before midnight...

I dont remember the name but its the common air unit for level 150+

CJ54
10-16-2012, 11:53 PM
Yeah, they'll show back up. I'm seeing the items in your inventory (a bunch of stuff out of the boss loot list), Vballmadam, they're just null due to the dataset issue. Same with you, Jhoemel, you have a null item out of the boss loot list. That's pretty standard for data issues where something doesn't technically "exist" yet in the game.

I think what separates whether they can be seen as 0/0 items or not is when they were introduced. All the boss loot is just not showing up client-side at all. Again though, it's in your inventory.

All items won by my LLP (Titan X) and my HLP have disappeared! I've defeated the Boss 5 times in both cases.... Are they gone for good or will they be back?

Make that 6 for my LLP - an invisible unit!

Q Raider
10-17-2012, 12:18 AM
Missing over 3k on my LLP including the Desert rat from the defeat the elite event.
As per the others all units from the current event are also missing.

Edit:
Make that over 8k with attack and defence :rolleyes:

36 different unit categories and something over 100 units.....Pretty much every unit won from the last three or four elite events.

DKLennarth

Hi all!

I got my status back after 20 minutes, but where is my items from my 2 wins?

I bought also for 100 Gold and the other one for 65 gold or less. Now they are
gone too

I do not remember the attack & Defence rate on the 2 cheepest itmes and I
can not find this 2 in my inventory. I do not have a screenshoot on the both.

I hope my new-bought items are not gone forever.

You have to fix the game also because the server kick me out many times per
day and I have to loogin many times also.

With kindest regards, DKLennarth in Sweden

Ok, thanks cj for communicating with us

JohnnyR
10-17-2012, 01:00 AM
If you guys can't find the stuff in inventory, try attacking. In your top 45 units, the slots with no stats are the missing items. Confused the hell out of me when I first saw this, glad CJ54 put the explanation right up. Thanks!

Q Raider
10-17-2012, 01:10 AM
Obviously you had better luck getting higher stat units in the current event JohnnyR.

None of them make it inot my top 45...;)

Deskjockey
10-17-2012, 03:36 AM
I'm in the same boat. At least I only gained 5 XP before coming over to the forums to figure out what was going on.

CJ--any chance you guys can also bring back the splash screen for all of us who have not gotten any during the last four boss events? Without the splash screens, we don't know how much longer we have and we don't know what the top prize is, so our incentive to buy gold is not very big.

Same here. Lost all my boss loot units as of 645 am eastern today.

BigD@wg
10-17-2012, 04:48 AM
Now I have actual invisible units to go with my invisible boosts. My guess is the next thing to disappear will be the game!

Talk about having a cloaked army! Lol :p

Poopenshire
10-17-2012, 04:55 AM
None of my units disappeared until about ~5am Central time. All night long I still had all my units. I guess the roll back was selective at first or there were sync issues. Too bad we don't have a time when the new list will be up. All the attacks for the Epic Boss will be low for everyone and we will lose alot of time and effort due to this screw up.

Glad I checked here. Beat #13 his morning and then could't trigger another boss my my main game or LLP.

DKLennarth
10-17-2012, 04:58 AM
I think so many events there is here then its no wounder database went on holiday now.

Have events less often and make the database rest 7-14 days instead of 2-3 days like
it was now.

Have events in the last week in each month and some less in the 2:nd week in the month.

With kindest regards, DKLennarth in Sweden

You won't see them in your inventory, but if you attack someone, the new units that should've in your top 45 will show as NO IMAGE with 0/0 stats. I can't test this myself since none of the units show in my top 45, but I've attacked people and seen it.

Yo CJ. Have you guys ever thought of disseminating information like this through in game messages on comment walls? It would probably be pretty easy to script something at your office that would drop a message on every players comment wall from something like "Modern War Messaging Service". You could send a message that indicated there was a problem and the boss event was suspended temporarily. Then you could send another message when it's corrected.

+1. They might already have it, but the messages might be "invisible" like so many other things.

Miner
10-17-2012, 06:49 AM
For those that had defeated a boss on this event, just keep checking your inventory for the loot you got. When it shows up, that means the data set has been corrected and pushed back out. You'll have to exit and enter the game each time you check since the data sets are downloaded when the game loads.

Giedrybe
10-17-2012, 06:55 AM

albeezy

An intersting sidebar...

On the KA FORUM players were discussing the boosted stats that some people see. For example, my dragons are 70/43 while others are something like 105/77 and others have dragons that are 127/100. Gree has stated that everything is converted server side during gameplay so if you have the 127/100 dragons and attack a player that has the 70/43 dragons, it is treated as if both players have either the 127/100 dragons or the 70/43 dragons. There are mixed reports on this, but for the most part that seems to be the case.

It only gets interesting when considering boss events, where the players with the boosted stats are reporting that they are seeing the same average boss health as players with the unboosted dragons despite doing more damage to the boss because of their boosted dragons...for example, a player with unboosted dragons 70/43 and a player with the 127/100 dragons will have a 30th boss with roughly the same total health...don't worry I told them, it is working on the server side

Apparently MW is the not the only Gree game with boss event boost problems. LOL

Poopenshire
10-17-2012, 09:23 AM

Hey Jhoemel, what item? I'll check your inventory server-side.



Same, if you can tell me the item name.

Could you check my disappeared item, as well - untrained paratrooper, uncommon. I am new to MW, so every loot item is particularly important :) Thanks!

CJ54
10-17-2012, 11:53 AM
We're still working on getting this back up asap. In the meantime, you can tell where you're at by going to "more"->"about" in the main menu.

-If it says "20121016 2" under the Content Version, you're still on the broken dataset from last night somehow. Log out and back into the game a couple of times and jobs will work again.

-If it says "20121010 0", you are on the rolled back "this is where everyone should be while we're fixing things" dataset.

-If it says "20120823 2", I'm not sure how you got back to this build, but I'm seeing some people sending in tickets that are on this build. Log out and back in a few times and most of the weird stuff will stop happening.

If it says anything else, you really should restart your device at least once a month and/or you're jailbroken.

As soon as we relaunch the new build, we'll let you guys know and also let you know what number to look for there in the About menu.

Log out and back in a few times and most of the weird stuff will stop happening.I noticed this in the morning - I was guessing the client defaulted to the default dataset on a cold boot of the app. I'm guessing the last app update was around the end of August?

Likely, when the 20121016_2 dataset got pulled, the app was like what the deuce and reverted to the default (20120823_3) until it received instructions to fetch and use the latest (20121010_0) on the next reboot. Is that how this thing works?

Not yet, the build's in testing. We need to make sure that the weird stuff is not going to happen again.

Something like that is the case, but the last client update was actually on 9-7, so it's still a bit odd.

In any case it's only until another app restart, but that's why people were seeing their Desert Rats and some older items as missing last night: the app rebooted to a data version from the end of August, so all THAT stuff didn't exist yet as far as the part of the game on the device was concerned.

EDIT: Again, for people coming late to the party, your stuff will show back up when we roll the new data.

FYI, I sent you a PM. I know you are busy with this issue currently and should be the most important thing on your plate now. But if you could just read your PM from me quickly regarding some things which could affect your support group for the good. :) I just wanted to let you know as a FYI and get a acknowledgement that you got my message is all for now. I would be happy to talk to you more later privately after things die down. Just thought this would be a good time to make contact while you are active in the forum. TTYL

Warfiend
10-17-2012, 02:57 PM
5 more chances to get rares?

Or even uncommons. The xp on these events is very manageable for me, especially compared to the other events, and 5 extra tries based on my past experience is very likely to produce at least 1 uncommon if not more or a rare. I'm not strong enough that uncommons are useless to me.

Arizona
10-17-2012, 03:02 PM
5 more chances to get rares?
That's a good reason to go for 5 more, but I think it's more valid at higher levels where the extra XP isn't going to level you up as much as a LLP.
I have a player in the L80's and it's over 4000xp between levels and a player in the teens where you level up after a few hundred. For my LLP I'll stick with 30 but ya, higher up I'd think about going the extra 5.

way to go Gree, you just convinced me not to spend money again.

HEY PM I hope you read these forums. Your costing your company money. Many of us would spend but you convince not to every day.

Righto. We're up to 20121017 1, everyone should log out and back in if you're still not seeing boss/units/stats, and I'm updating the first post.

Also, asking about the boss now.

CJ - we REALLY appreciate the communication on this one. Well done buddy. Seriously. Well done. This makes problems much less frustrating in my opinion.

I dont know if this update changed anything, but i lost 15 of the gold bars i had. I had 24, now i only have 9. Not sure if this happened to anyone else.

Guys, are you SURE the boss is harder today than yesterday? I'm not seeing that to be the case. Boss 13 yesterday took 5 free hits. Boss 14 today took barely 6 free hits and it looks like #15 is going to take 6 free hits again. This is on pace with yesterday's boss strength.

Four free hits for boss 11. Level 142


Edit: four free hits for boss 12 as well

Will check with next boss in 8 minutes! I know it's much, much better than the previous boss events.

Perhaps someone without a boost unit can confirm this. Maybe the boosts are working as they should.

My boss experience seems same as always. On pace to complete about 18 without gold. Boost does not seem to be in effect.

Boss 13...4 x free......last boss event boss 13...10 x cash....I'd say markedly improved!

Talked with our head MW person, we took a look at the data, and nothing changed between what went into the game last night and what went in today in regards to the boss. This boss is actually weaker overall than last time in response to player feedback (that was unannounced, but it is the case).

Just to be sure, everybody make sure you're on the new dataset (20121017 1).

1) How do we know if we are on the new dataset?

2) I sent you a PM related to the boss event - can you respond?

Thanks

So when does this boss event end CJ? Is there going to be an updated splash screen with the new end time due to the delays?

Seems as if one of my event units went MIA during the downtime.

It's probably those ruddy Tree Snipers getting bored again.

Anyone spotting a Congo Swamp Flyer passing by their oil rigs please let me know.

.....You can keep the tree snipers as a "finders fee". I would just like the Swamp Flyer back ...:p

My attacks are following the same strength pattern today that they were yesterday. The unit boosts are not working. Also I agree with miner, the boss has the same strengths as yesterday.
As far as I can tell nothing has changed, my alliance attack is back where it was yesterday before the problems

Same here on all three accounts.

I see and read that the GREE contacts are very helpful in this thread, which is always appreciated!

So is Android able to get the boss event now?

I was just on (20121010_0), force closed + restarted, same.
Re-installed game and I'm was on (20120914).
Then force closed + restarted again and was back to (20121010_0).
No (20121017_1).

Boss events aren't on Android yet unfortunately. There hasn't been a timetable given yet either on when they will become available for Android folks.

Thanks for the info (and also to Vballmadam in a prev. thread).
That absolutely blows, if they have ported the game (engine) to a new OS then adding content should be very close to trivial!

Is there a time extension on the boss event to compensate for the time it was down.
I've yet to see a splash screen for the last two boss events. And for the ones before the last two, maybe I see one. But in CC and KA, I see them almost every time a log in.

Exactly. And leaderboard events have been combined, so again, why do all the devices not have the exact same content??? Blows my mind and bugs the crap out of me.

Just to be sure, everybody make sure you're on the new dataset (20121017 1).Well, that is interesting. Sounds nice, but I have to say, when I start a boss and my hit strength is 3,000 (about 8%) less than where I ended the last boss, even after adding many new strong units, I am probably still behind. Can you please explain this? Are they weakening the strength of attacks, or constantly tweaking it? Or giving boosts to different unit types in different events? I know you may not be able to give details, but this aspect of the boss events is very frustrating and seemingly inexplicable.

Yeah. I checked the new dataset.

I'll tell you this. I respect the effort you have gone through to solve the problem, however..... someone lied to you. Thats just bull. The bosses are definitely harder than they were before. I haven't even leveled up from my last event. So I know this is bull. What is even more aggrevating is that the prizes look cooler in this one. Based on how I went last time I was going to buy some gold this time. Now there is no way I'm doing that with the how many free hits early on I have needed to take down the bosses that I'm going to be making a very good investment with purchasing gold than I ussually have.

Its VERY obvious. Do you play the game? I'm just wondering.

Not happy about that at all, as it it started first time while I was asleep and again the second time, so I'm 1,5 days behind. And I'm still not seeing any splash screen and thus have no idea on how long this goes (support has a ticket on this from last boss and still no solution).

Thanks Doc and CJ please do confirm. And it's about time for a gold sale (been almost a month since I last had one) and make it the 40% one.
