Thanks devs for working to make improvements to the game. You guys are awesome. Dunno if this has been considered yet, but it would be fantastic to have a "family" chat tab. I'll preface this posting by presenting the initial problem. The problem with a lot of sub clans is communication. Although the sub clan may be fulfilling its purpose, there is usually a lot of turnover because chat is dead and people are seeking a "main" clan that will fit their social needs. Many times when opening a sub clan, or stimulating an existing one, an active member of the main clan will be recruited to be the leader. This effectively isolates them from the main clan, sometimes killing their moral or drive. However if they are a vibrant personality, members of the main clan may "join" them, thus creating more of a clan split than a new birth of a sub clan. In my limited experience with this game, I've known a few people to "burn out" and quit the game altogether because of these scenarios. Therefore, for player retention, it would be a good idea to address this issue. Many clans use third party chat apps to create a "family" chat. While this is an effective solution, I would propose that the KaW developmental team might consider a way to keep players submerged in this app, rather than finding other avenues of filling social needs. For those clans in war, a "family" chat tab would be a fantastic avenue for relaying hits on members or against opponents, and would possibly make for more fast paced, exciting OSWs. So here's the simple execution. For initiating family chat, clans would have the option to search a clan and "add to family". Very simple initiation, and a notice can be posted on your clan page on who is in your family. Just like "following", the other clan would have to "add" you to their family before communication can begin. Click the "family" chat tab, and every clan that you have added is in the chat. My additional recommendation is that just like in WC, if someone in CC is talking, you see them in FC. Example: [family] tacsumixam: you should totally post that idea on forums [family] maximuscat: what a stupid idea...family chat [clan] maximuscat01: items For those of you that love to pick apart ideas, please let me know how crappy this one is, and how idiotic i am. For the rest of you, please support or add input on how this could work better. ~meow
Apparently chat is handled through a third party company. Not sure if it's possible but if they can, this would be a fantastic thing.
funny how quickly things get buried in the forums. probably not worth posting ideas here as they get lost quickly
