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
