Inventory Wipe release

[kamesennin]

Hi Modern Warriors,

We have finished the initial closed beta of inventory wipe to reduce the lag caused by very large player inventories. This feature will wipe only units without bonuses that do not contribute to your power in the game.

We are preparing for the global roll out for this first version of the inventory wipe and the tentative release date is May 30th. If there is any change in the release date, we will let you know here.

The beta results have been positive with no significant issues reported at all although the lag improvements were largely seen on Android. For IOS, there is still a bottleneck caused by some legacy IOS code, which we are still in the process of updating. We anticipate to see lag improvements for IOS once the code is updated.

The majority in a poll voted to implement the current version of the wipe globally so we have decided to roll out this inventory wipe feature to all eligible players. The players who are eligible for the wipe are those with more than 9,000 units.

It will take around 24hrs for the script to implement the inventory wipe for all players. But for each player, the downtime for the wipe process will only take around 10 minutes.

Depending on your device platform you will see the below popups during the 10 minute wipe downtime.

Android:

IOS:


You can check how many of your units has been wiped by noting the change in the # of units on your profile stats before and after the wipe. To get an accurate measure it would be best to note the # of units immediately before and after the time of the wipe.

Hi Modern Warriors,

The roll out of the first version of the inventory wipe is on schedule and currently underway. The script to implement the wipe on all eligible players (players with >9,000 units) should complete in the the next 24 hours.
As mentioned above, if you happen to try to login while the script is running on your particular account you should see the aforementioned popup. You will be able to login again after around 10 minutes.

We are already starting to work on the next version of the inventory wipe that we hope will bring even more lag improvements, so please stay tuned for updates.

Good luck in game,

Hi Modern Warriors,

We are aware there are players who have undergone the wipe process but did not actually get any items wiped from their inventory. We have found that many of these cases are because the player did not meet the wipe eligibility criteria. We apologize for not being clear but players who can have their inventories wiped must have more than 9,000 unique items, not total # of items.

In the next iteration of the wipe, we will most likely change this requirement to total # of items. We will let you know when we have a better idea of when the next version of the wipe will be ready.

Thank you for your continued patience and we hope you enjoy the events currently in-game,

Kamesennin
