Hi everyone,
This is just a quick, little, reminder that Modern War does not support pre-staging, so be sure not to waste your time and money doing this - the server will reset those kills.
Thanks!

Ok, but how are we supposed to finish one of the normal map bosses then? Raul Perez in the Bay of the Coast is 18 hits at 376 energy each. So we're supposed to use refills to make sure that we don't lose any progress on that target?
Wow, and I bet you'll increase the energy requirement too while you're bending us over.

I'm assuming you actually don't know what your talking about and have never played the game. What you were trying to say was don't leave an NPC on 7/8 hits or this could be reset. Kills still count towards goals.
Correct me where I'm wrong.
No, after the "reset" you are fine. But if you prestage any boss prior to the start of an LTQ then at the "server reset" time (at the start of an LTQ) your hits will reset.
Also, is this something new Gree is going to start for us or is this the same old warning?
Are you out of your mind that is crazy announcement, why no just said you GREE wanna kill the game that is it......how we suppose to finish any LTQ without PRESTAGE if all energy and health regen rewards are for top teams.... MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY SHOW ME YOUR MONEY NO FUN ANYMORE THANKS GREE THAT WAS THE ULTIMATUM TO GIVE UP.
Clearly a poorly worded caution for the member community.Quote:

only gree could put npcs into a game and without any notice wipe your progress on it and be ok with that without any in game warning. Just dont release the npcs until the start of the event if you dont want people to prep them...
... or how about you use the hundreds of already existing in game npcs that have not a single purpose in the game anymore
Prestaging may not be a supported function of the game, but it has become a strategic tool that players AND your company leverage alike.Quote:

Actually, those existing NPCs are meant to intercept your errant tap and help you waste energy and curse gree. Memo to developers, stop using the shipyard and some others as they are too congested.Quote:

Keep reminding us why we should stop playing, and we may just take you up on it.
WTF???
We all know we play this game at our own risk due to GREEdy's incompetence and mismanagement and downright lack of care for its players.
TheDanimal brings up a good point!!!Quote:

If the server is going to reset partial progress, aka "pre-staging", how does one kill a target 12 times when that target requires 4,900 energy per kill, you generate 3 energy per minute, and your energy bar stops at 2,900 when full, hmm??
If that's the real case, then just change it from using energy at all to 100 gold per kill, 2 taps.
Then all but a few 2%-ers will quit and never come back.
Pre staging? If the NPC's are on the map and we choose to do 5 kills of 6.. It is our energy we are using and can decide to do what we want with it...if I have left targets on other maps with hits already done but not finished that is what I have chosen to do with my energy. What gives you the right to reset targets back to zero...if you want to reset back to zero make sure you compensate me in gold for my energy lost....it is bad enough you have made these events high energy and now you want to steal our energy...Awesome decision on your behalf....just be prepared for a lot of tickets that you all answer with a simple click with out reading properly what the question is about...Try playing the game before you make statements that you have no clue about..... thanksQuote:

No worries. I will not be wasting my time or money.
Peace out. Tell Enron and Lehman Brothers I said hello..
Funny that they say this because every once in awhile I'll tap the wrong NPC and see that I have like 1/5 hits. So this is a new feature I take it? We always used to pre-stage all of our FLTQ's (before this new style of hundreds of taps) and I don't see where this is "cheating" Gree out of any money.
Rather than keep going in the direction we are they really need to roll back the clock where we had say 15 or 20 tgts per stage and could pre-stage. It was quite fun working with your faction mates to get the levels finished. Now it's just a boring chore to perform, ad-nauseam every day of the week.
Are you going to give us free energy packs after you reset our progress? Not one but at least 50 packs. Otherwise keep your FLTQs and LTQs to yourselves. This is a complete waste of my money. Thank you Gree!
Calm Down Everyone,
We need proper clarification...... I believe they mean at the start of an event as it launches officially not during the event.
We need a mod or dev to confirm this... Please stop jumping to conclusions.. GREE has always not supported Pre Staging.
We all know this... However if this is referring to Resets during an event then the game is over... But i believe its talking about at the start of an event...
You are right Suppose So But leave it to a Community Manager, who's supposed to be providing clear and concise info, to pop in from nowhere with a half assed comment like that, and then vanish.
You're confused. Pre-staging is hitting the targets to 1 hit left before the LTQ comes on. So the reset will be before the LTQ starts. Not every hour/minute/dayQuote:

TheDanimal is right.
Prestaging is part of the game. It makes the game better.
"Is that a new npc?" Is one of the most wanted threads ever.
This is the same thing people noticed last sltq. GREE is now resetting any prehits made *before* the event starts. For example: say it's May 1. A ltq is scheduled to begin May 3rd but the npc's are loading and you can go hit them ahead of the start date, to prepare for the event. You may well be able to hit the npc's, and get them to 5/6 (at say 400 energy per hit) on May 1, 2nd and 3rd. But on the 4th, when the event actually begins, GREE will reset all that work, removing the prestaged hits, so that the npc that was at 5/6 and only needed 1 hit to kill is now at 0/6 and will need the full 6 hits to kill, at 400 energy per hit. They did this about a week ago, and my guess is this warning is to warn the player base they will continue to do this as they see fit. ie: to get you to spend real money in the game to finish the events to get the reward to keep feeding the beast. As always, complaining about it doesn't seem to encourage GREE to run a game responsibly. Get your money back by calling Apple Store or Google. The bottom line is all that matters.
Depressing
Lol. Yeah try that. See how many players even attempt the ltq's. Your only taking money out of your pocket. I only spend gold if I can get close to finishing. Which requires prestaging. Thanks for saving me money lmaoooooo
Another nail in the coffin!
See how many leave the game if they actually implement that and not just throw out the disclaimer to dispel the complaints of lost hits.
Game is already losing players in its droves.
The ignorance and lack of tact from the OP is just typical Gree attitude but being so arrogant about it is just a slap in the face to its customers.
Those THOUSANDS of formerly employed NPCS have a purpose, to interfere with TAPPING. They're one of the FEW things that DEW work as designed!Quote:

There I've tidied it up for you.
They dont care... they care just about the money, some poor kinds who never had money in theyr life got some now and they are blind, they just want more. And dont care about the game!Quote:

I cannot see why you would want to prevent it as it is one of the features that gets people to engage with the game. Here are some of the reasons I think pre-staging is a good thing:
- It adds some interest and tactics figuring out what the shape of the coming event is and deciding what level to aim for
- For factions there is the added involvement of organising the team to pre-stage and pull in the same direction
- It gets people logging in to the game and engaging with it at times when there is little else on
- It evens the playing field a little for people who can't be on-line at the event start time
You must see the number of threads and communication on the forum around npcs and pre-staging. If you do put a stop to it you will be losing all that community engagement with MW. Why would you want to do that?
If Gree go ahead and do this all factions should stop doing the event, vote with your feet, if nobody does the event, no money for Gree!!!,
Boy you started a hornets nest with this tread Relic!!
