Gree: Thanks for making us start over from scratch. How the hell is a vest with 8 def so far superior to a tank with 10m attack? This is garbage, if this isnt fixed in 3 weeks I will walk away after the next WD.
Clementine and the mods, you are doing a good job. This message is for you to pass up the chain. I dont chime in often but this is my last chance before i make a decision to stay or move on and pay another company for their game.
Dear gree, this 5.0 update is the straw that is breaking the camels back for many players. Unless these changes are reversed then I do not see MW being around for much longer. I have been playing since about march of 2012. I founded my faction when they were first introduced. We may not be a top faction but we do place between 500-700 in the events, always trying to get better. Since 5.0 was released, 12 members of my faction have stated that they have had enough, sold their buildings, deposited the money into the faction vault and retired. I have been debating wether to leave or not myself. I am not happy at all with the games changes and unending glitches. I have assured my remaining faction members that I will give gree a shot at fixing this game but im not waiting around for much longer. After playing for almost 3 years and spending more money than I care to remember just to have everything that I/we have worked for go up in smokey glitches and unwanted changes. If we wanted to play avatar dress up then we would NOT have downloaded an app called modern war. My daughter has many "dress up" games on her tablet. Whoever had the idea to make a war game into a dress up game needs to be FIRED!!!!!! While you are firing that person you may as well fire the "yes men" that agreed to that decision. If you want insight on how to improve the game then ask the players that are playing the game. We will happily tell you, as many have been. Problem is that you dont listen to those of us that are paying your bills. Your quality assurance team (if it can be called that) either needs to be fired as well or listened to when they find problems. You have a beta testing group as well (or so you say), release the new game to them first, then fix the problems and rerelease it back to them, wash, rinse, repeat until you get a GLITCH FREE product. WE ARE NOT YOUR BETA TESTING DEPARTMENT!!! WE ARE YOUR END USER BASE THAT IS PAYING FOR A QUALITY PRODUCT! We do know and understand that this is a business and managers set deadlines that need to be met. However if you put out an unfinished product while advertising that its been tested and is ready, and its not, then those of us that are purchasing your product are going to be highly upset. We the people paying for your game (and all of the free players that advertise your product) will hold back on our purchases because our entertainment dollars are no longer buying us entertainment but is instead buying us grief, anger, and confusion. Yes, the top few teams will continue to pay to stay on top but you seem to be angering them as well. If your goal was to wash your hands of this game then you are doing an awesome job as players are leaving in droves. If you truly wish to save this game, then may I suggest listening to your players and all of the previous posts. They are telling you what they want to spend their money on and you are giving them the exact opposite.

Personally I like the equipment idea... But only as it once was in KA. Armor and weapons for army and hero/soldier, but that is all. It also didn't seem to weigh nearly as heavy.
What should not occur no matter what weight equipment plays...
11bil attack stat losing to 5bil defense stat
or
900mil attack stat losing to 400mil defense stat
That is pure and utter head in four points of contact stuff there. Please do something! I play hard and cope with the many changes thrown our way and try to understand and support the game. This will kill it unless you can manage to fill the coffers with things like the LTB re-release all the time. Sustainability is possible if Gree is practical.
Majority hates the equipment.
Heres another question... Whats the point of spending money/time earning a unit with a bonus if its useless?
And yes they are useless, im losing to ppl with half may stats.
This is Horrible
We All hatenthe equipment.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to lose 5.0 and listen to us greed !!!!!!!!!!!
This game was great until you changed the valor units. It was still good and worth playing but the slide had began. All the errors and glitches since have accelerated that slide but V5.0 can only be described as a cesspool awaiting the loyal fans and players who want only to enjoy the game and have fun doing it.
Please take us out of the mess YOU (Gree) have created!
I really don't want to feel like I have wasted nearly 2 years and poured my money away!!

The equipment is pointless, especially when everyone has exactly the same equipment anyway, because identical items were given out in the 3-day ltq and the concurrent ltq/fltq.
Also, you guys aren't giving yourself anywhere to go with it - a week in you've already gone through the SCAR and the AK-47, two of the most powerful assault rifles in the world. WTF will we be equipping six months from now, the Death Star? Ark of the Covenant? Lightning Bolts of Zeus? Seriously.
Thirdly, I'm finding all this a bit Barbie for my taste.
Take a moment to get to know your players. Do they seem like the kind of people who give a crap about radar watches and sunglasses?
BUT I applaud the decision to re-release the old WD buildings for purchase. Do I take this to mean that the cash price of everything will be skyrocketing in the immediate future, when there's nothing worth buying (again) (already)?
it´s like a reset. I´ve been playing for 3 years now. gained good atk/def and iph. saved money to buy lte-buildings. all useless now. have to rethink if i continue playing. (or start playing mw 5.0 in other words)
Maybe you should try finding ways to release a good working product and you wouldn't have to worry about communication.

Do enjoy. Happy Holidays, Merry Tapping to all. LOL
Kill the whole idea with equipment or lose your modern war revenue. I can guarantee if this keeps on, modern war will parish and your other titles will suffer as well. Everyone I have spoke to wants their old game back. It is ridiculous that some have built their game for years only to be beaten by new accounts that have joined top 50 teams to get "equipment ". Besides, there are still so many errors and glitches with this going on. You have explained how this is supposed to work and it just doesn't add up. Going on our 3rd day of wd and they still exist. Here's some advice, if you don't want to test your game before you release it, then please shut the event down that the glitches are affecting. Why let them go on and continue to upset everyone? Next time you want to do your customers a favor and change things because YOU think they'll like it, ASK YOUR CUSTOMERS!
Alliance Size Reduction and Alliance Size Increase is not displaying correctly on iOS or working. I have to assume it is not working because the HP regen bonuses / temp bonuses are not working either.
Since no one has anything good to say about the new 5.0 update I'll say something, I like the fact you can recycle units for cash/valor.
Now that all the good things I have to say about the new 5.0 update is over now onto some negative.
1) The -5 alliance size reduction lowers my alliance and shows the rival has the exact same amount of allies everytime.
2) the algorithm format doesn't work, if stats make up 50% and equipment of 20/30%. What if you win the stats but lose the equipment battle shouldn't it be a draw since it's 50/50%?
3) Instead of doing a 6 day WD GREE should have had a one day test WD to gather feedback before having a week long WD.
4) Years of building stats have all became worthless due to someone having a helmet with 1 point more than your attack equipment.
Gree if you want the committed players and customers back and to stay with you listen to the community. We are telling you how to fix things and the last I checked the only negative feedback I've seen from WD in the last year have been from the bad matchups. I loved this game but unless they scrap this idea I'm moving on from Modern War. No one should lose a battle to a player of stats well below their own. Especially Billions of points below, a couple thousand or maybe a hundred thousand yes but not millions or billions difference.
I quit spending real money on this game a little over a year ago because of the issues back then. Still play low key for fun (when I can actually sign in to my account), but I agree with the others, when you lose to some one who is hundreds of millions lower than you- it's ridiculous, equipment or not. I'm a chick and I don't even like to play dress up. If I wanted to dress up a little avatar, I would have played Sorority Life instead.
Back to the drawing board. I've been in a top faction for a long long time and just matched a team with only a couple that I can beat. Hmmm, wonder which team this would benefit most? Also, the double and triple strikes aren't working. Tap win, tap win, tap win all day until..double strike...lose.
Same issue as others on here; have completed crate, iltq and fltq to get all equipment... Saw my equipment stats drop by 22 points when gaining a piece of equipment in the fltq - my equipments stats shoukd be at the maximum possible (excluding beta testers) yet they are 22+ points down. Ticket raised, comments back from support (stating they are dealing with 5.0 issues), then CLOSED - oddly (sarcasm) my equipment stats are still incorrect... You need to resolve this as i have paid for these items and due to your (gree) issues, they have been taken away.
Emporer Bap.
I know it's been mentioned before, but the 50-30-20 numbers sure don't seem to have the correct effect, perhaps this is coded out,of order?
I would say this new addition is a major failure. With both test factions I see factions pulling the pin and bailing. Aside from the total mess that equipment have introduced I notice match up times are insanely long averaging about 20 minutes for matches and the latest faction is made up of members 2-3 times stronger than my strongest and 21 members vs 6.
This tells me that folks have stopped playing, the matches before this one were multiple 1 player factions. So either the matching algorith is totally screwed up or nobody is playing.
So seriously gree are you folks actually going to finally listen to your customers or are you just going to let this game go down the toilet?
What a wonderful change that the game has come to be a dress-up quest.

The changes are here to stay, and no amount of feedback will do any good.
Funniest thing I've heard earlier is that some dude said his helmet broke.
Anyways I have 3 questions.
1■ Gree is this true, we can lose equipment during battle?
2■ Are we to expect you'll then release indestructible equipment?
3■ Are you using MW algorithm combined with CC algorithm for attack and defense?
It would have been much better if you could buy equipment in the store but you can. Making them only obtainable in LTQs is what caused the imbalance and made a gap. Equipment is good in theory but bad in action.
Asking GREE for anything is like asking a genie for a wish of a million dollars. Sure the genie will give you a million but little do you know is that the million dollars was robbed from the bank and now you're on the run from the cops.
Gree does the same thing, you ask for something different and then tadaaaaah it is not what or how you wanted it. Thanks Gree I'd rather have the old MW back full of hacks than to tap this debacle.
What's that saying every great empire crumbles?
Well you were that great empire, and you're crumbling from your own doing.
It wasn't hackers or players using glitches that did this. I'd even go as far as saying maybe it's disgruntled Gree employees doing this. There are websites where employees can anonymously speak their mind about the company they work for. I've read a few from your anonymous employees and they don't have many nice things to say about you. If I'm correct, Gree laid a few hundred employees this past January. So you have less employees doing more work. Why would you do that when you are making so much money?
GREE GOT GREEDY
Starting to see a pattern here, PI$$ off your employees, & PI$$ off your customers.
It was fun while it lasted!
^^^^^^ just threw a perfect bullseye into the dartboard EH!
Okay, here's a new wrinkle, boys and girls, soldiers, sailors, airmen, Gyrenes, and Coast Guardsmen active, reserve, retired, wannabe, never will be, don't wanna be.
I was test tapping, so I goes tap, tap, tap, and my vest was jacked.
Darn it, dude just stripped it right off my chest.
So, I'm guessing your cheap, potentially Chinese manufactured FUBAR Helmets can break; you can also be ROBBED or JACKED.
Where's Deputy Fife, I wanna make a report.
I want a full blown investigation.
Jacked, not only by Gree, but the players, too!!!!!
No bad idea, gree will make you use more gold.Quote:

I have several tickets in for existing problems...some months old...which there is apparently not enough time to fix...yet NEW trials are brought out causing MORE problems... argh !
My faction did one war with this new "outfitting" change...all revolted... we will not do another !
We are voting with our feet... walking out on this nonsense...
Can't even power attack someone that's 5x weaker and win. Ridiculous. Locked out for weeks because gree is incompetent, get back in only to see that the incompetence is magnified.
Tried another battle for the hell of it. My stats read correctly now, but my 4 billion Attack still lost to a 600 million because of your stupid trinkets. If this idea isn't scrapped, then my 4 gold using accounts will be.....
I have played for over 2 years and this is my first post on forum, but have lurked and enjoyed reading over the years. This new equipment has broken our faction apart! We have lost 3 players already and 3 more retiring after this cycle! We have been top 50 faction for last year and half, and help pay Gree's bills, but not much longer as I suspect many more will follow. Many of our faction mates are well over 10bil att and losing to players with only 4-6bil stats just because of 2 weeks of collecting new equipment? How can this be a good thing?
I have two IDs with similar stats. A...1.090billion attack, equipment stats 45/11. B....1.254billion attack, equipment stats 45/11. Both hit a player with 972million defense, equipment stats 30/12. A lost on every hit, B won with every hit. If the attack stats are 50%, the equipment 30% and 20%, then how did A lose every time?
None of this is real bro, none of it.Quote:

That said, it's done, and I'm sure there is no going back. I see much complaining about the equipment and the new algorithms, but I have found that once you figure out how it works battle outcomes are very predictable. I'm able to select targets from the opponents roster and win each time, as well as help my teammates successfully select targets and score points, and the devs have posted enough hints with enough clarity to recreate the calculations for yourself, if you look and give it some logical thought.
There are plenty of bugs, and I and members of my team have experienced lost accounts, gold purchases that didn't deliver gold, stats displayed incorrectly, game crashing, strange anomalies on NPC maps, game getting stuck when popups don't populate properly, equipment values disappearing when trying to swap soldier equipment, and other things. The 5.0 had a short beta test wherein testers weren't really given an explanation of what to do or expect, and then it was rolled out live a few weeks later. Personally, I really do think it would have been allot better had the entire month of December been dedicated to a much broader testing period involving much more in-depth communication between developers and testers, and had that taken place I do believe allot of these bugs could have been addressed prior to the live deployment.
But now that it is out and I've had enough time playing it to understand what it's supposed to be doing, I am enjoying it. Not everyone on my team feels the same, but we are doing well with the changes. All but a few members are getting a grasp of the system and enjoying some of the other new features as well.
One feature request I'd like to see, as mentioned in the AMA, is that the sell button be removed from buildings now that the game has a recycle feature, because far too many people, including myself, have accidentally sold valuable buildings just because the game buffers taps and lags sometimes, and that confirmation button happens to pop up right where you tapped just before it popped up.
I think the equipment is cool but i think it should just have attack and defense values like units and just do it on total stats still, its unfair that small players can now beat long standing members just because they have a better pair of boots. In this WD my mini lvl 76 att 750mil is beating players with 1-2bil defense simply because i have better equipment, its CRAP
Though the concept of equipment is novel it's execution is beyond stunned. Why do I think this?
Well for starters I keep seeing the same bits of equipment being offered up in different challenges, geez gree could you not have come up with different items for different challenges?
And since we accumulate multiples of some of these things you could have at least made them stackable!
As it is now this is yet another poorly thought out and executed failure.
