This War Matchup will not count toward the season. The points will be adjusted retroactively when the season ends, prior to distributing rewards.
The team has found the source of the issue and it should be resolved for the next matchup.
We'll continue to dig into the impact of this issue and will provide further updates when we have more information.
Apologies and thank yous.
thanks for the update jax.
Unfortunately, I remember a similar situation happening in a past season, where Kabam announced that the ongoing war wouldn't count and points would be reverted to the situation prior to that war. When this happened, war rating still got affected. Additionally, there were some mistakes in the point detraction. I remember a great confusion. I hope this time around things will go smoothly
We all know the update will be bugged, so wait until your war is done before updating
I'm on this boat since April 2019. I was exploring 5.4.6. and Ultron went mad with the AI change of night crawler trick. I got rekt trying to make Ultron hold block. This was also the first time 'Re-Parry' got in the game. Took about 6 months for people to recognise it.
Ever sinceI DO NOT UPDATE THE GAME UNLESS THE GAME FORCES ME TO
I have been screwed enough mid questing like lol and abyss and crianas due to new monthly update. This isnt a surprise anymore.
As the points won't be adjusted until the season is over, war rating from this matchup will matter.
The way the systems are organized, attempting to isolate and shift war rating is messy, imprecise and by the time it would take effect, it would be too late to matter.

Please just cancel since war rating gets affected because it's a lot of stress and items clearing a broken map to maintain war rating, even if the points don't count.
If points don't count but rating does, this adds huge planner/player stress just to maintain war rating. It's almost the same as playing a real war with the broken global so please just cut the season, it's much cleaner because a lot of players will have to clear with minimal deaths.

So cancel the season because we’ll have to go all in on this war boost and potions galore anyway to maintain rating. Making the war not count towards season doesn’t matter if rating is still effected

Cancelling the season inevitably favours people who are ever-so-slightly above a reward bracket cut off, and upsets anyone who is below it.
I understand fully the solution we're using is an imperfect one, and will have unintended knock-on effects, however, it is the best possible solution in this case. Edit: (within reason)

So give everyone their rewards+1 rank. This war not counting towards season favours some but is unfair to the people who have to go hard to keep their multiplier. I wouldn’t call your solution the best tbh

So will we not know our true rank until war season is over? Also we just got into tier 3 war. If we lose and this knocks us out how will that be corrected? Our members have had several game crashing bugs and of course problems with the prowess. We’ve been undefeated this season and to lose because of this would be VERY disappointing if that ends up happening.

Which, any time before when they have tried to have the War Rating not change for a “doesn’t count” war, there have been problems. 2nd and 3rd correction attempts, etc. By which time, everyone is yelling and screaming. So, I can see them NOT wanting to try and fiddle around with the War Rating for this war.
However, BANNER at top says “War rating will remain untouched”. Which, since that can technically be interpreted in EITHER WAY, should probably clarify that Banner at top. I think they meant for it to read “remain untouched, as in, we will NOT be touching any code to do anything different from what would normally be happening with War Rating this war”.
(As opposed to “remain untouched, as in your WR will not change”).

I didn't update but some of my alliance mates did. It's not their fault if the game gets bugged. They wanted to try out the champions that got rebalanced and such. It shouldn't be our fault as users...
you're right.
Kabam should not launch it's update while there is an attack phase going on.
Since they are not attempting to correct war rating (and because they’re only correcting things after the season anyway), yes, your tier could drop if you lose.
War rating will include the result of this war for the final 3 wars then adjusted properly before next season
Where is that ?
From what I gather, they said they will not be doing anything (so, untouched) to try and change the existing working of War Rating. So War Rating AND Points will be as normal this war.
But then, JUST POINTS from this war will be removed at end of season when calculating final standings. (No adjustment to War Rating will be made)
It appears that the prowess power tactic may still not be fixed correctly. Based on the Game Team’s original forum post about tuning down the tactic, the tactic would give the affected defender 1-2% of a bar of power per second per prowess, capped at 10 prowess (depending on war tier/prowess power -1, -2, or -3). As it reads in game currently for my alliance’s tier 5 war, the tactic (prowess power -2) will only give affected defenders 0.02% of a bar of power per second per prowess. That’s 1/100th of what it should be at prowess power -3 (2% vs. 0.02%). See below for screenshot.
Am I mistaken on this? If not, can someone bring it to the attention of the game team before it’s too late for this next war? (Attack phase is about to begin).

What about players that entered in Alliances with 5 wars left to get prizes?
Thanks for the update. Any possibility of getting a small boost/potion package back? Both are a hot commodity in competitive wars.
It is possible, maybe even likely, but we're going one step at a time right now and haven't gotten that far.
