    Exploit Solved, Combat Changes Based On Player Feedback

    Hello all,

    We have had two major recent developments that we want to share with you.

    One involves a potential exploit involving boost effects that was reported to us by several players. After investigation, we have blocked the exploit that allowed the potential for unintended stacking of boost effects, and have permanently banned the small number of accounts that were abusing this exploit. We'd like to thank the initial reporters who contacted us via Support, for their help in bringing this to our attention so that we could address it in a timely manner. We're also looking into different potential reporting methods for this kind of issue for speedier resolution times, as requested by our players.

    The other development concerns two heavily reported issues which were closely related: the extreme stat fluctuations in combat on the Android platform, and the losses to players that appeared drastically less powerful on the iOS platform. These were due to a change made to combat some time ago; the original intent was to make combat more dynamic and exciting. However, due to the feedback from our players on this issue, we have reverted the combat code.

    We understand how much our players care about the game, and we understand that we have not communicated this (or changes made) as often or as in-depth as our players would like. I and the members of the Modern War team hope that this post will be the start of better communication and greater transparency on decisions and issue resolution between ourselves and our players. We cannot always make requested changes, and the changes that we can make may take time, but we deeply care about your experience playing the game. Because without our players, there would be no game. And we aim to communicate that more.

    Signed, CJ and the MW Team

    Put your money where your mouth is! Talk is cheap.... real cheap.... Start that "better communication" right now. In the morning we'll see you in the forums and we'll notice if you're living up to your word. Prove to us you care. That is all

    CJ, Thank you for running this down. I am really hoping to see how these changes affect the WD even coming up.

    CJ, I hope you have in fact made fixes to the game. But, I fear its too late for me. The last few battles were so un-fun that I'm actually dreading this weekend. It is only because of my friendships in my faction that I'm still playing at all.

    Once the gold that I've already purchased runs out, I will revert to camping.

    I'm sorry. MW was a lot of fun for a very long time. But, the hacker and cheats, and Grees indifference, has ruined it.

    Well, it should be for the best, on both counts.

    just to be clear, if I see an account with 5% less defense than my attack, will I win?

    Thank you CJ.

    All we really want is to know we are being listened to, and that Gree is taking action to protect the players who finance this game.

    CJ, what has been done about the other exploits are they fixed or will they be soon? Some of these guys are running rampant making the effort of those using cash for gold worthless .Also any word about the units that were not working do we need to send a ticket or is it being handled?

    Glad to hear something,now just a little more.

    A lot to little , A lot to late. Just solving part of hacking problem ? You guys intentionally made changes that made us lose to players 50k to 70k lower than my stats. Especially when I'm using gold to attack these players in war. Are you kidding me ? What is wrong with you ? This last ditch effort to get everyone fighting tomorrow is a waste. You want to fix things postpone war and get it all figured out. I've personally had alot of help when contacting support for Issues (not pertaining to hackers) in a friendly and timely manner but the game is tainted now and one post about fixing half the problems won't fix it. Cj I'm not bashing you at all. You are the scape goat. I hope this all gets fixed. All of it. I love my faction members and used to love this game.

    Saying the health regen hack is solved and closed is very bold. I hope that is true. Time will tell as everything comes out eventually.

    I'm so gonna buy gold now since battle starts tomorrow. First unbanned, then this great great news! Seems things have really turned around. Units can't stack...well impossible for them too, but on the bright side, the harder problem of hacker control is taken care of! Fixed! Excellent!
