Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
Kaw doesnt even care killing clans and players of The game, they just said Apple told us so. Lol
The true # regarding Iphones Will never be true, Apple only wants to sale NEW phone after phone.. And they actually make a great product... That good that a Lot of people are still using IPhone 3gs

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 26th!
I honestly believe it's Apple behind this. Outdate a device for popular apps, and ppl have to buy brand new devices. Plus their pie graph showing iOS users. They grab their info from the App Store. Hmmmm, since my old iOS accts are alts, I don't use the App Store. Wondering how many KAW alts don't use it either? So this data saying only 7% of idevices use iOS 7 or earlier is incorrect.
I do have an iPad 4, iPhone 5c, and a Samsung Tab 7. These accts spend rl $. The other 4 accts no. They are alts. Why do I have to purchase a new device to run KAW on and be portable, not ran on a PC?
DoD has 50 accts. I can guarantee that the Greatest Troll of 2016 has quite a few iOS 6 and older devices.
So while KAW says iOS 5 & 6 are still able to log into KAW, that is not the case with my 3 3GS iDevices running iOS 6.(something).
This has happened to 3 of my old iPhone 3GS accts. Customer Support said they were no longer supporting that device. So now I have to log 4 accts on PC to log in.SS-_-SS said:

Ah damn I missed that part. I'll take my exit now. I should've reread it myself.
Looks like Imma about to lose a couple too.
But ios 5 & 6 will still be able to play, anything older will not, that includes those older droids out there that can't update either.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
Another reason to leave the game just what we need. When it becomes less user friendly. How many will keep buying into the game or buy the goodies to support clan. Guess this will test all. I can say i dont miss my family no more they have won the battle over kaw.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
Wow, ummmm, what happened to that notice. Great timing the last 2 days of this phase of event, when doors are most active.
Very sad this change isnt a more welcomed change, a few changes to your proposed clan structure could make all the difference. I hope you will surprise us and actually considered what many have asked for in this. Anyways, hope it fairs out for you kaw. We will see.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
To clarify,
Regarding iOS Requirements
Tomorrow's update will be available to those below iOS7, however, future updates (after tomorrow) will not be available for those with iOS 5 or 6. While I understand this isn't ideal for those of you that ultimately do have devices that are no longer going to be supported, this is necessary to ensure we're able to continue to focus on development of the game and allows us to use more modern tools and functionality that may not be fully supported on older versions of iOS.
Regarding the Required Update
Because of the nature of this update adding new features to the game, all players will be required to update to the newest version of the game before we're able to switch on the new Clan Roles. This is why we're going to be requiring players to update their games to continue playing. If we did not do this, those with older versions of the game would crash upon loading their clan pages.
Regarding Timing
Keep in mind that Admins will still be recognized for 24 hours after the switch. Owners (Warlords) will have that 24 hour period to assign new ranks as they see fit, after which time anyone with an old clan Rank will be automatically transferred to become a warrior. Again, there are a number of roles with differing abilities, so not every existing Admin needs to be a War chief.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
Must say that dropping the bomb that people's accounts may not be able to access the game only 24hrs before is piss poor planning on your part. I understand the need for this but you owe it to the community to give more warning of the consequences of the new update so they can plan.
What about people who are on vacation or don't log in daily? You run the risk of these people logging in to find out they can no longer play and no time to transfer or link their account. It's sad and basically embarassing to see how this great game is managed at times.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
As we are all rushing to link older devices with 24 hour notice! Warning to all those reading this, older devices crash when trying to link to Facebook, etc. - You are unable to complete the linkage process and thus you will not be able to move the account (as KAW said they no longer do UDID transfers manually) - Therefore, in less then 24 hours expect any account on an older version of iOS to be unable to access KAW
RIP KAW accounts no longer supported

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
The ONLY work around I can see working, is linking your older accounts through an ATA ID, and then buying a new device and pray they can transfer it over using your ATA ID; however I could be wrong, but that will not allow you access into your account until a new device is purchased.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. This is in reference to those with older devices. For those who can update this isn't much of an issue until the next update similar to this. But for those on older devices they potentially will not know of this post in time to make necessary accommodations for their accounts (e.g. Linking to pc so they can use pc to play or transfer to a newer device).
For instance, a buddy of mine is asleep at the moment. He has 7-8 accounts. I'm sure a fair few predate iOS 5. When he wakes up, will this 24hr notice be enough time for him to link accts for future transfers? I hope so for his sake but for others it may not be. As for him, he will likely quit the game all together because of all that time lost invested into alts which he can no longer use . As a result all 7-8 accts will go innactive, not just the ones predatory iOS 5. Now that's just one friend. How many others will this extend to?
As my original post stated I understand the need to do the update but am disgusted with the amount of lead time they gave for people to prepare for this major change.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
After I was corrected it also means all older devices such as ios 4 and older, and droids that do not have the hoarfrost/abyss update, will no longer be able to play without AtA id or FB accounts linked.

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
Sorry but that's incorrect. I understand you may have only newer devices and not get this but there are older devices that already cannot update kaw. However they can continue to play the game. For instance my brother has account that cannot see the abyss lands and others they don't see the rewards chest icon in the top right. However as stated by ata, this new update will be required for all devices to play kaw. So all devices already unable to update will also not be able to do this update and therefore be locked out completely.

I'm still not in favor of paying for slots - I think smaller clans will suffer

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
This update will cost KAW at minimum 20% of the player base, maybe more - in a way, it's ironic, but at the same time negligent (I'm using that word specifically) to give us 24 hr notice for this to take effect. There will be no recourse to players between when KAW admin posted the initial thread and when the update takes effect for passive players that will be permanently locked out of KAW if they are running older devices. I'm ashamed at you KAW, and you can't pull it back as its already preloaded in the ap store for release tomorrow. 20% minimum, maybe more of all active accts will become inactive.
Based on last event, there are approx 33,422 accounts participating your actions will effect close to 7,000 accounts - oh and I edited this post by getting 1 item on an alt, to check total participating
Note: I'll get raw numbers off the next event to see how badly this changes. Who knows, I could be wrong, but I think the actual player base, especially those with alts know, this gonna statistically wreck the player base

Re: Clan Roles Launching January 27th!
My iPod can't update the game because it's still on the IOS that the caveman used. That alt will be gone and I've already accepted it I just see the trend of dev actions.
Gonna come back to bite them when kaw is gone.
