**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Another update?

This update is an optional android only update with the intention of "gathering data" apparently.
I don't particularly buy that reasoning.
v30.1.1
v30.1.1 is an optional update that will only be available to some Android users. It only contains in-game tracking information that helps us identify issues some players may face in the early game.
Why didn't the update specify it's optional and also it would collect our data?
Why don't you disclose this information in the Google Play store instead of on a ridiculously long post within the changelog? It seems shady and also the largest sized update I have seen so far. It's as if you are trying to hide the update's purpose but can still claim it was disclosed for any future complaints and possible lawful litigation.
Keep in mind, EVERY THING you do in game is “collected” because everything is run thru their servers (it is not a game that can be played off-line).
If it were to help solve generic Android issues, that would involve higher level gameplay/nodes.
But the additional update says targeted at beginner players (early in game). So likely Tutorial-based stuff (or things that beginners struggle with that they may want to add to better Tutorials or Help Msgs).
It could well be that it is what they say it is, but there is definitely a part of me that has doubts as any person gets from time to time.
Also, all data is king, regardless of who it's from. Hence the recent issues with things like WhatsApp who were going to change their policies, and many other apps that state what they do and don't collect from you. All personal data is marketing money for any company. (I'm not saying that Kabam is doing this, but just refuting the point of data collection of the general masses being of no value)
They could easily just put this in an update and never said anything.
As I said, I'm just skeptical of the entire necessity of this update. I might have to run it through a few different sites I know to see what their analysis of it is (unfortunately most of the places I know haven't updated their results since v25.)
I can't help but feel that there's a need for more transparency on what this update fully entails.
