Soldier Equipment

2/12/15 3:24pm (U.S. EST) bombshell dropped.
2/17/15 8:14am (U.S. EST) no further communication, explanation, or clarification.

Once again, a controversial decision is compounded by no REAL communication. If I were Gree, I would be less concerned with the passionate customer comments and more concerned with the players who are silent and have become apathetic. These are the ones walking away or on the verge of it. All those still passionate about the game wouldn't worry me in the least. I know the hook is still deep in the gills and I can swing the fishing pole in any direction I desire. Though they may fight, they will follow it right into the net.

I'm done complaining. It took a while but I finally learned my lesson. Now, I'm working my exit strategy. Some have encouraged people to quit at every turn rather than try to effect change. Congratulations he who shall remain nameless. You're getting your wish one by one.

Do you plan to share any updates the night before you implement whatever new "feature" you come up with?

Or is that asking too much to keep us updated on what your GREEdy plans are?

The're just waiting for their next big gree up, then they will try and pass it off as an exciting new feature. It should be along anytime now.

I think the solider equipment is not a bad concept but I would like to not have the army equipment. That way we arent feeling forced to collect everything. Better equipment can be found on higher levels. Also a complete and meaningful clarification on how it factors would be nice.

Summary: drop army equipment and drop the percentage of randomness in attacks but only AFTER all the other major isues are fixed such as defense stats disappearing.

I don't understand about what you complain...
People asked to remove the equipment and Gree listened the people.
I am happy that Gree listens their customers.
And I am happy that equipment is removed. I will be more happy if Gree will totally remove the equipment in all places and formulas including from inventory.

It is your personal choice when you spent real money/gold for the equipment or any other item in the game. Gree is owner of all things in the game, not you.

So This new iLTQ EQUIPMENT stopped dropping .. That makes intentions CLEAR!

GREE bought themselves Some time to figure out how to resolve THE EQUIPMENT disaster,

We all know how GREE plays iT .. So I would say make sure you all get your screenshots with Latest count on EQUIPMENT.
With delay tactics in place, and no way to see what we have, if we don't keep asking GREE whats going to happen next. In a few weeks days months they act like iT never happened.

Gree made everyone spend to get equipment and now they take away. That is called a bait and switch. Hence that is illegal. Now you can give refunds to avoid legal action

I would like to say THANK YOU! For the equipment not factoring in WD.All I saw was people complaining about it and I agreed .Now I see people complaining its gone and blame GREE. Sure they should come up with a event where equipment stats mean something for those who spent "Thousands of REAL money equipping.Seems to me and I might be wrong but the last couple of months the Majority wanted back the old way now it seems they want the new way back!..Talk about GREE being screwed up!

Do you really still believe after this long that gree listened? as I said, I have a bridge to sell you.
They removed it for one of two reasons.
1. they weren't making the money they thought they would.... doubtful
2. they couldn't make it work..... much more likely in my opinion

It's possible it was a bit of both.

Of course there are people that know, but they aren't talking. Not that I'd believe 5% of what they say even if they were..So we are left to talk amoungst ourselves

Listen to the community????? Ha, they didnt want to deal with the massive influx of errors and system meltdowns caused by last wds use of the broken eq system.....i was under thr impression that if i beat you on 2 of 3 the variables i win.....ive found that if you only beat them in both eq stats and they still double your power you will lose, so how can a logical computing machine allow for that illogical equation????

i like how u have the nerve to call it an "EXCITING UPDATE" when its a backdate, gree get ur act together and blow ur headquaters up so we all can be happy and u can claim the insurance and we all get our lives back

Next exciting news will be Airplane mode glitch on iOS and gold glitch on Droid are coming back. Yay

So, as I want to still play and compete (probably as many others), and knowing that ranting will not help a bit, I will try to figure out what the OP was trying to say - as i fear I might not have understood everything correctly. And as I tend to seek hidden messages in GREE's communication, due to being *beep* in the *beep* too many times to be trustful.

Message: Soldier Equipment will no longer factor into battle calculations.
Question 1: Will Army Equipment also no longer factor into battle calculations?
Question 2: Will all equipment be of no effect in any action in MW for the time being?

Message: ...battle calculations will be calculated using only Army Stats.
Question 1: Are these army stats including the equipment?

You see, GREE, for me this message was not clear enough, so please clarify. It might be due to the language barrier. Then still clarify for me and all non native english speakers. Thank you.

ABOVE SOME UNANSWERED QUESTIONS TO GREE FROM 5 DAYS AGO. MOD's PLEASE.

Sorry for me shouting but it seems you don't get any answer here being polite. Same goes for tickets.

Comment on EQUIPMENT survey..

OMG, now you give us limited options to answer and then can say GREE did what community wanted.

I Miss options in THE survey.

EQUIPMENT was released THE way iT was, worked and planned. community spend their energy, health and gold to chase iT.

I think only option is to take iT away and refund each and every member accordingly.
finding an other use for iT is nothing short of a bait and switch and GREE knows iT.

EQUIPMENT still remaining in our inventory .. Same as all those items to unlock temp boosts.. Sitting in inventory doing nothing but making iT hard to find your health, stamina, energy packs. No wait the EQUIPMENT is no where to be found ..argh

And have you taken in the results??????

Sure. The result is, Gree doesn't care as long as the money rolls in.

I doubt people spent a lot of gold chasing equipment. If they did it was not very smart

Please explain WHY?

Just take the 4.0 code, rename it 6.0, and re-release it, along with some individual gold "gifts" in amounts comparable to what that person has spent since the 5.0 release.

Why? Because it's calling playing smart.
I personally went specifically for equipment items outside of doing in the regular course of ltq and used gold once or twice. All and all I spent in these occasions may be 400-500k gold. Also I don't use "sleepless" nights in order to do ltqs. Who say we should?

400k/1500* $99 = $26,400

Seriously? What is the "smart" part? Gold free is not ok to play?

Allow a recycle feature or something to exchange equip for boost units or something similar. I think the options on the poll are all terrible and it isn't fair to remove the equip after we have worked to get it. Needs to be something useful to exchange our equip for.

Sadly if gree had listened to the community in the first place this mess would never have happened. Sorry but gree credibility is shot.

I think we should get to dress up our defence buildings with equipment like little dolls. A great way to combine two dead game features.

Wait, AO are you saying that GREE previously had credibility?
Stop spending money on that game guys. Simple. I've been
playing since the beginning. Gold free since after the 1st year.
I have a digit or two less on my stat line than alot of the guys
I started with but other than that my game experience is pretty
much the same.

WAKE UP! I'm trying to help you...really! Lol

Oh right that was funzio....

By the way could someone shut off the damn redirect to the poll page from the game, it's starting to wear a bit thin everytime I log into one of my players and after waiting a couple of minutes get punted there. Granted I suppose I could post 29 feedbacks from my 29 players but it ain't going to be pretty.

I can't believe we ever complained about Funzio...these guys are so much worse.

Absolutely agree buddy!!!

A forced survey will lead to false survey results. If you want to conduct a survey about equipment you should not screw with players by constantly taking them to a survey page each time they try to log in and play the game. I for one might contribute valid answers given the option to participate. But if you set up a system to compel me to answer your survey I may have given you invalid answers because I don't appreciate trying to be forced to answer your survey question. Your tactics for this survey is at best very stupid and at worst an inept attempt to make me answer. Not going to happen. So whatever your survey shows you the results will be inacurate. Stop doing the forced survey it is a bad idea.

Equipment is ****, get rid!!!!!!!

Equipment was what it was... Good players soldiered on and then? Not sure how it didn't work, anybody?

Well, apparently those who accumulated got compensated with an A/D boost in assets?

And now skill points reset? Interesting concept, but no heads up..SNAFU or FUBAR'd. Remains to be seen.

MGSGT (that's 3 up and 3 down) with some trim in the middle...

We will create a new thread when we have an announcement.
