I just checke my team and not only did all the guys i had in battle suddenly go to the CR chamber quicker than they should but mission details have up and disappeared.

Did we glitch, or did we just just clear up space?

Yeah, what is going on? Is this it? Is it happening now?
Or am I just getting my hopes up? :grin:

They wiped the mission and arena logs. Probably taking up too much memory. They do it from time to time.

It happens from time to time, V1 battle logs take up a fair bit of space and have tio be cleared every now and then, the last one was over new years so it was definately due.

Those who were in missions/arena at the time get zapped, so sorry redsky, you still got a month or so to wait. :lol:

I understand why this was done and I knew exactly what was going on when my guys went straight CR but a warning would of been nice so everyone doesn't flip out in confusion.

The positive side though is that I haven't seen this much activity in the forums for the past month :D

Unfortunately it isnt up to us when it happens, its the sort of stuff Siebertron has to do himself.

I now its small consolation, but in HMW2 the logs will be half the size and therefore be wiped half as often, but ill also be campaigning for some warning or a regular date for them once we start over, as if you rember, ths disrupted the scalp hunt last time as well.

*shrug* this **** just happens im afraid, sorry guys.

all i needed was:
CheshiredaCat team members Abyssal Sentinel and Black Shuck

Wingspan team members Raphael and Sarathiel

and

Absolute Zero team member Arias

so actually had 5 to get #-o , and these guys are hardly ever played.

i have already claimed the full teams of Name_violation and Fearless Echo.

What is really needed is a stagered deletion system. So every quarter of a year, all logs from between 3 and 6 months earlier are deleted, leaving the most recent 3 months worth of results still available for a final three months (thus negating virtully all tournie and hunt related issues whilst still having a regular automatic log wipe.

Not a bad suggestion Red.

Ive asked about some kind of warnnig for v2, we'll have to wait and see what OS comes up with.
