*News* - We will be announcing the start date for the next Season on Thursday August 15th. Equipment You will no longer have the ability to equip or un-equip equipment once match ups occur. This is a necessary change as we now take equipment into account for match ups. Without blocking this, players will take off equipment before match ups in an attempt to game the system. Defender too Strong & Defender too Weak These systems will stay in the wars. The reason for this is two-fold: 1) We are matchmaking to optimize the ability for the two clans to hit each other. Most match ups have greater than 90% hit ratios, meaning that over 90% of the possible combinations of attackers and defenders can occur. 2) We now take into account how many players you influence when we do matchmaking. What does this mean? Let's say you have a clan full of weaker players, and invited a leader board player to join you in war. Before, this would either get you a no match or a mismatch. Now we take into account the player's influence in the war when we do the matchup. For example, if this leader board player actually cannot even hit anyone on the enemy roster, their influence on the war will be minimal and their stats won't affect the matchmaking process. This may also mean that on the surface, you may be matched with clans that may appear to be a lot more powerful than yours. Do not worry! If this occurs, it most likely means there are members on the opposing that cannot even hit you. We've updated the matchup algorithm based on the test wars from last weekend so that these weekend wars are even better. * *IMPORTANT* we have also restricted member participation to a range of 26 to 29 members. *Estoc Edge will be awarded as before. 1 level earned for winning, 1 level lost for losing. You will still lose a level if you leave your clan * Mithril will still be rewarded for winning. * No Rancor levels will be awarded Schedule Signup: 3-6 hours prior to War Start Time. This varies based on how close the wars are together. Matchmaking: 2 hours prior to War Start Time (Must sign up before this, rosters lock at this point) Activity Lock: Approximately 1 hour prior to the earliest War Start Time Start Time: This can vary up to 15 minutes. This will be reflected in your war timer. Wars will be a mix of 1 and 2 hour wars.

Thanks for early post on wars, devs! Very appreciated! Personally I would prefer set KO times, but the mixture is a good too. ------------> Devs, if you consider reimbursement of xtals for those who lost the war - we definitely would see a greater number of players participating with a little impact on your income! What about EARLY post about ETA on T6 upgrades roll-out? It would be extremely helpful.
Thanks. We really hope that you do not eliminate the fixed ko wars. We enjoy them much more as I know many of the other clans that ee constantly do as well. After the advantage war we feel exhausted from 2 hours of constantly spamming targets. Feel free to throw in variation but please don't eliminate the wars that many enjoy the most.
