We have a surge of serious problems and bugs varying from blown up gaphics to purchases for which no deliveries are made. Also, a new breed of hackers have shown up. Finally, many of us experience lock downs, initialisation problems and varying stats. The surge of tickets have also made a mess of the already poor service levels.

Please list all more serious bugs here. Pls be objective as to how you describe the bug.

Crashing just about every time I find a ripe target.
This. Haven't had a real issue with other problems. But I have to restart Modern War every 2 to 3 attacks on a rival or a rival's building. The game just shuts off and I'm left at the iPad dashboard.

Not only with attacking / raiding though. When I have been in a playing session for too long and did too many actions (like check the Faction forum, some PvE and vault some cash), it get's too much for the game and just decides to crash on me again.

Don't know how many other player's have these issues, but I'd say it is a problem that should be high on the list of things to be fixed.

Without attacking or getting attacked, without adding allies nor purchasing units my attack defense has been fluctuating up down by approx 1200+/- attack and 1400+/- defense. I started noticing this on Monday as I wanted to focus on my unit density and not just the count. When it has been on the low end, I have verified the known units in my inventory and nothing seems to be missing.

GREE support will internally classify all issues that are logged with them, usually from Severity 1 to Severity 4 or 5. For example, users not being able to start the game with it crashing as soon as they open the app will be a Severity 1 issue as it prevents the gamer from even playing the game and could be a potential loss of revenue. The issue with allies showing up on your rival list will be a Severity 4 issue as when you click on your ally, it will come back with a message to state that the person is your ally (it does this in CC) and hence it doesn't prevent you from playing the actual game. It would be classed as a minor issue (a nuisance).

GREE will focus on the higher severity issues first before dealing with the lower severity issues and every time a new issue is logged it will go through a 'triage' to determine what the severity of the new issue will be. This will ulitmately decide when issues are going to be fixed which means that some Severity 4 issues might never get fixed due to time and resource constraints as higher severity issues keep coming in.

If you are the kind of person that spams in 50 tickets per day discussing the same issue, GREE have to go through this procedure for all tickets and you will be making a name for yourself in the support department. Now multiply that by the number of active gamers that play all 4 GREE games and you can see that they get potentially 1000's of support tickets every day from the mundane 'I clicked on purchase with gold by accident, please refund' to the critical 'The game won't even load'.

No doubt they will group similar tickets for one support staff/developer to fix, which will be done by the 'triage' team.

To be honest, I have found some little niggles in the game but nothing that prevents me from playing it or enjoying it. If the problem persists, I initially restart the game a couple of times and if that doesn't work, I delete the game and re-install it which sometimes will help. If the issue is persistent and detracts from your enjoyment, please go ahead and log the ticket, just be aware that they will classify your issue depending on how serious it is (to them and not you!)

Most annoying issue at the mo is inability to remove Android player from faction. Although the player has left, still showing on list and taking up valuable space. I think this is a serious issue from GREE perspective as fix is manual and am sure they will be getting loads of tickets about this - so impacting their ability to deal with other issues. They need to deploy an update for this ASAP. It will be preventing people joining factions and could make a right mess of the game.

Not sure if this is a bug or just incredibly poor game design, but it's only happened since the upgrade so until I know otherwise, I'm going to say its a bug.

My stats are 21,384/22,980 attack and defence. I was attacked by a guy with 11,960/10,665 attack and defence. I have 105 skill points in defence. I was attacked once, I lost 600k with 80m unvaulted (saving for anniversary), which would have been fine, except he should not be able to break my defence.

I attacked him back and somehow lost. Again, that would be ok if his defence and my attack were closer to each other, but my attack was double his defence.

Then, he attacked me again whereupon I lost another 600k, but when I had 3.6m fully vaulted. Also, his first attack has disappeared off my news feed.

I have pictures to prove all of above, but I dunno how to upload them.

Evidently, I have been camping for a long while. Stuff like this completely destroys any point in playing. If someone with 10k attack can break 20k defence, why shouldn't 10k attack be able to defeat 30k or 300k defence? The attack and defence numbers are worthless. This destroys all certainty and removes any point to playing the game.

I am not complaining about losing. But I am complaining about losing to someone who I should not conceivably lose to. I will be deleting my account if this is not resolved as there is just no point playing, building attack and defence, when it means nothing.

You sure he's not mucking about with his ally number to jack you? I've had that happen before. Or, he could be a skill point hack, it's almost impossible to detect from a profile page.

My modern war app is not allowing me to enter the app. I press on the app icon and it looks like it is going to start but then. The screen goes black then returns to the main page of my iPad. I did the update to the game the other day to access the faction and it worked for a little while, but now it won't load.

First 5 days playing were near flawless

Now
*Game FC's when loading large maps
*90% of the time buildings are missing from maps
*Lock ups that do not produce FC's
*Slow loading times.
*connected wireless to 50mb internet does not speed it up.

That's a big issue, and I was surprised they didn't prioritize that to be resolved before the PVP faction event. It's crazy to me how they are trying to implement all these new features and events with outstanding issues that will prevent the events from running smoothly. WTF...

Last 2 days i attacked at least 300 players and did many missions but i never got one box! I didn't attacked privates, specialists or corporals. I can't believe that during does 300 pvps i didn't looted one f... box!! The hole event was full of bugs! Request is still pending at gree..

Pretty sure he wasn't, ally was 232. We're both only level 48 and near max allies. 48 * 5 = 240 max allies anyway.

I dunno if it's a skill point hack or not, but I still shouldn't be able to lose vaulted money.

Yeah he wouldn't be able to change allies enough to bring that high enough. How many times did you try to attack him? Either way, just submit a ticket to the black hole otherwise known as support. Maybe you'll be lucky and actually get helped. This year, even.

ditto tenspot. same here tonight, twice. the first with 1 box, and again when i won two. and still was unable to have an open attempt.

also, it seems that the latest stuff, including the faction thing, may be overloading the servers.

scenario: attack someone and win, or just collect money from a building. then attempt to vault.

sometimes it take a minute, two, several for the money to show up and be available to vault.

i've sent in tickets on both.

also had the game unable to open. 2 or 3 times, deleted and reinstalled. things got back to normal. this ticket was 7 days from submission to first response.

also, as an observation, viet used to respond to tickets. i am thinking he got canned in the layoffs. havent seen his name. i am seeing a chick respond now. seems very nice, but very NEW! responses are slow.

Most annoying problem I have had so far is the issue of winning something like an indestructible unit but it shows up as a blank and never gets in my inventory. I have also had many cases of winning a "suitcase" in PVP and that item does not make it into my account. Tickets response has been spotty. Since I am free player I have no leverage. If it were not for my interest in the faction phenomenon I would have already quit.

Same issue here. It also let me repeatedly Attempt to open them in rapid concession. It was almost funny...almost. I got "up to" -2 boxes. Had same issue in last event. Then eventually I couldn't get a single box after hundreds of PvP or PvE! I hope you sent tickets and screenshots to support on this. I did.
