“Observer mode”…what, why, when…

[DillyDilly]

How many days did they require to enlist your alliance into beta program after sending them the mail?

a few, I believe. 2-3 days?
Our alliance just started the “wars” a few days ago.

Our alliance just joined “Alliance Wars”. I haven’t tried it yet, kind of apprehensive about it.
I’m the kind of guy that prefers to research throughly before trying something.
what’s the difference? I’d like a primer on the whole thing.

Alliance Wars is a whole separate feature, with a separate button in the top left corner. This is currently being tested by alliances that have volunteered, through their leader, to test this early access to a non-released game mode.

I will also report that I have seen the observer mode bug as well, though my alliance is not currently engaged in the beta testing. However i will note that, at least in my case, its purely a visual glitch. It doesnt seem to stop me from assisting, it just pops up as an oddity, so i seem to be fortunate in that regard.

If a leader has not made this request for the whole alliance, it is invisible.

I sort of understand, but only in theory. I have yet to see the difference in regular game play and an Alliance War battle.
Am I given a choice? If my alliance decides to be involved (who makes the call? The Leader?) , will every player be in the War?
Or is this up to the individual?

I still haven’t been given a basic understanding of what an “Alliance War” is.
How does it differentiate between a normal battle?
why would you limit the number of active assistants?
why haven’t I been effected? I’ve yet to see this message.

I assist almost exclusively (rarely attack) and would be devastated if I was limited even ONCE from assisting.
So you see, for me…this just won’t do.
My teammates say I haven’t been effected yet because I’m usually the first to join in battles.
I’ve only been playing GOO for about 4-5 years, so I guess my time spent playing and the $130+ dollars I paid for gems doesn’t amount to much for the Developers.

Hi DillyDilly, Observation Mode is something should only occur while attempting to assist with War battles. (The Alliances Wars feature is currently in Early Access, so Obsevation Mode should only affect Alliances which are part of this Early Access. And only during War battles.)

Alliance War battles have a limit on the number of active assisters that can assist in a given War battle. (This limit is currently 5.) Once 5 assisters are actively taking part, other players who are watching will be in Observation Mode and no longer able to assist.

The rationale for this is we are concerned about Alliances feeling obliged to queue their attacks to get as many assisters as possible in an attack. We'd like for War attacks to come out in an aggressive, dynamic fashion, and not be too constrained by queuing.

Hi, somehow this observation mode screen cropped up on my screen while assiting during a normal battle just yesterday. We were not assisting in AW. Another bug Jay and leroy ??

Yes, that sounds like a bug. We will look into it!

Observation mode only applies in the new alliance war battles. It should not exist anywhere else. If you DO see this elsewhere, please let us know as that would be a mistake that we would fix.
