News * There have been reports, both on the forums and sent via feedback, that certain clans are exploiting the system to their benefit. If you find evidence of this, please add it to these threads that we are creating for each war. Next week, we will go through the data and take any appropriate actions necessary. We are reading the responses, and the other threads that are posted, and will investigate the clans that were mentioned. * We are finding that very few clans sign up over 33 members, for all wars. To make matches more likely, and stop clans from signing up with numbers that will obviously get no match, we are going to be making adjustments to the max clan size for next week. War #8 Signups: 54 No Match: 6 Regulators - You were the odd man out here. There weren't many other clans that could match against your low clan size with the same strength and BFA. We suggest that you bump up your numbers by 1 or 2 for the next war in order to boost your chances at finding a potential match. 2 Tickets to Paradise - Odd man out here. There were only 4 other clans that could have been matched with you due to your high BFA. Try lowering it by about half for next time to find more matches. S.O.T.R.A - Try lowering your clan size by about 2-3 for the next war to improve your chances at finding a match. C A R T E L RISING - Your BFA was about 8x too high for most matches around you. Either boost your strength or lower your BFA if you want to improve your chances at finding a match. EXMOOR--PIRATES - Your BFA was way too low for your strength and size. TKR - Your BFA was about 4x too high for your strength and size. Clan Size breakdown War #8 X-Axis - Clan sizes Y-Axis - # of signups As per usual, we will be monitoring clan BFA numbers and we will address any suspicious activity throughout the coming war. Please keep BFA changes post-sign up to a reasonable minimum! Anything beyond that and you will be warned and risk losing rewards and/or match-ups!
@kaw_admin a.) remove all the size limits. dont match by stats/BFA/BFE and open up wars for 1-100 and let matches be random by prestige. • you can match 1 or 2 prestiges higher or lower, but when battling a higher prestige clan, give losing clans 14 mith minimum when they lose on TVP so people aren't afraid to fight a stronger clan. when winning against a higher prestige clan, make the rewards higher than a normal so that clans are more up for the challenge than shying away from them. b.) you're still in testing and 8 weeks of unfair matches eliminates the kawMunity for a fair chance at rancor equipment. Season 2 Should be Rancor 50 (7-12) and Rancor 100 (1-6). give people a chance to get all the equipment. c.) if you decide to continue to match by strength and size, BFE must be factored in. d.) members need a way to cancel wave of conflict so they don't have to leave and lose EE levels when emergencies come up. e.) give owners and admins the ability to kick inactives, trying to test potential recruits who become inactive gives an opposing team a tremendous amount of plunder! The ability to remove these players from active roster gives clans a far greater chance at winning. f.) give the community a practice EE environment so we can train members and new recruits thru the challenge clan system (skirmish, battle, war, estocs) maybe give 1 mith for winning participants? limit players 21:59 hours before they can engage in another practice estoc to limit abuse. that's 250 mith over 250 days (seems reasonable) g.) fix the rival clan system as you would going to the battle lists so clans aren't declaring wars on inactive clans. if clan a searches rival clans, clan be should have the minimum active admins online to accept/decline challenges. it's frustrating for clans to send a challenge in the rival list and have to wait 4-16 hours to realize the rival clan is inactive.
How can reducing numbers by 2-3 help when we often have to face stronger clans with 30-31 members when we sign up with 28-29? Just tell us the algorithm could not find us a match, don't make us chase our tails looking for a solution when our numbers would be fine to get a match on most days.
Seems with the narrowed clan sizes there are still no matches due to clan size's being too big or small. Might be time to narrow the range a little more to insure less no matches. Maybe 27-33?
Rising Hawks 27/54 vs YoungDragons 28/54 ok seems fair FAIL!!!!! Hawks LB rank 40 strenght against Dragons LB rank 876 strenght what clans 41-875 didnt war? this is crap i done buying.your xstals season 2 will play for free and.do paladin eb everyday
Stink fist I feel you have no idea how the matchup system works from your response . You had 4 inactives vs an experienced war clan what did you expect to happen. Secondly it's the best match that could be made everyone gets bad matches from time to time. Can't win them all
King_me, member size limits have reasons, maybe you don't remember start of ee-wars, where ppl only reporting that got outnumbered matchups .... I agree BFA should be added to matchups, maybe with disabling changing equips after sign ups .....
Sick and tired of forced matchups where the war is decided at match. If your clan is weaker your opponent shouldn't get 2 extra players as well. I would rather take a no match than waste 4 hours of my time in a matchup that's lopsided. Especially in the top 10 clans where bfa is the deciding factor in matchups, wars have been stupidly lopsided. On what planet is 13 hlbc vs 26 hlbc a fair matchup? Happens all the time. More no matches are needed devs. Lopsided matches just discourage people from warring again.
Match ups still unfair - war#9 - how can -RCA- be stronger than Warlor Hellhounds with no LB's - it stinks
@kaw_admin our 2 ee wars we keep on getting paired with worm as we can see their bfa is far greater than us at the start of the war they knock us all out pls. Match us more accurately with clans which have same strength with us
You have already stopped upgrading strength after matchup. Why not just put a stop to upgrading BFA after matchup?
@cmac. Because to do that then u wouldnt b able to buy allies once matchup. So then what do u do if someone buys your ally? Your screwed thats what.
