Alliance Wars Early Access

[King Rupert]

Hi. I'm with Red Dragon Society 2.0. Been playing Gods for several years (5?). Been a Clash of Clans leader for about 8 years. So LOTS of experience with running wars. Thanks for your hard work building this new AW feature! It is interesting and will be fun. And thanks for letting us join in this beta testing.

I have lots of thoughts so I'll give you a bit of a brain dump.

The list of completed battles should also list stars earned in that battle. That's what I'm most interested in seeing in that list.

The previous war summaries should be (or have the option to be) sorted by stars earned. Then you can easily see the top star earners. Again, that's what I'm most interested in.

The current war view showing all bases should be sorted by star value / base strength. Will be a lot easier to find targets in your range that way. Seems a bit random currently.

When we lost a war is said we moved from Ambrosia 5 to Ambrosia 3. I'm almost positive we actually moved from 4 to 3.

Initial league seeding should be done by current alliance combined base strength. Will be more fun to have competitive matchups instead of super lopsided ones.

The league member lists all show 1000 trophies with no ranking. Assuming that's because the feature hasn't been activated? You should turn that on so we can help you get that debugged too.

The live AW attack number that appears on the AW button lags. An AW battle will be done, but that button still shows the battle being active.

During testing, there should be 1 war per day. You will get way more testing completed. And members can participate a lot more.

In the final implementation, 2 day wars seem like a bust. The 2nd day sees almost no action. But the bigger problem is the psychology of having almost no activity with a new feature. When an AW is active people should know there will be regular activity. That's only going to happen with a 1 day war.

1 day is plenty for a war. People in every timezone can participate that way.

Having a regular AW schedule every week is a great idea. Can build anticipation.

Having too many wars per week will remove anticipation. Participation will drop off quickly if they are too frequent. Except for the most hardcore players of course.

I would propose 2x 1 day wars per week. Saturday & Sunday, or Friday & Sunday. Most people have more time for games when they aren't working or in school. And would be fun to look forward to the weekend AW's!

Some AW's will be mismatches and not as much fun. That's why I think there needs to be a minimum of 2 wars per week.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

This is all fantastic feedback. Thank you for taking the time to send it to us!

2 day wars suck. Thought rewards were boosted to make daily ones actually worthwhile and enticing and was happy then saw gods hadn't reset.

But wars are already usually decided in the first few hours. If your team vs's someone normal other than Legends clan with stars not being worthwhile whatsoever for the level. People will just not even participate or only use up gods for 1 star to get it over with if they think or know we cannot win. If I see that we're losing by 100 points and their bases are only like 10 stars for a level 130+ then I'm not even bothering anymore because I know noone else in our clan will either. And my clan's in top 12-10 usually overall.

Now you have to wait 2 days and that's so underwhelming. You might as well just 2x 1 star bases and call it quits than put in the effort. Especially when it feels like a kick between the legs having to sit and wait for 2 days for a clan completely stomping you. This just feels like it's more encouraging to find a clan that's active if you want anything decent now. Was nice waking up and taking part, now it feels like absolute ass checking to see if the war's even over.

The choice now really feels like choose friends you made with in the clan despite a lot come and go over the years, or just go join the highest ranking clan you can now and not be handicapped.

Yeah it's same from my side... You personally don't even want to bother yourself to go chk it back again... And hence the idea of using the gods twice after certain conditions are matches was proposed... And also Kupo the reason that we know if it's going to be a direct win or lose is because we are still in beta and not a lot of other alliances are... I mean it's all a very little pool of alliances I'm sure after its release there'll be a lot more new matchings and close results

It happens a lot of times even when there's no one else but you when you either close the app or swipe up to home or have some internet failure from your end or switch to a different app/pane/window... But you are still allowed to assist in any such cases
Or
Acontece muitas vezes, mesmo quando não há mais ninguém além de você, quando você fecha o aplicativo ou desliza para a página inicial ou tem alguma falha na Internet ou muda para um aplicativo/painel/janela diferente... Mas você ainda está autorizado a ajudar em tais casos

We've been vsing top 25 clans constantly, think we've gotten Legends 9 times (including today) since wars started and never come close. When there's more clans it might get better.

2 days seriously is inviting you to leave your clan if you want to stay optimal. And that sucks bad. I'm not even going to bother attacking anymore and just 1 star and hope for the best and click when ! is shown. SO many in clan can tell just aren't bothering too since they stopped attacking the high stars mostly.

I can understand that it's so bad to vsed against top 25 all the time... But it's not really the case for my alliance at least... We've had some pretty close ones too where it was 300-220... Some pretty easy ones where we scored 700s and they did 200 or 500-150... And then to be Frank the most of the AWS that we have lost are because not a lot of us play and tbh even i play just for fun attacking the upper one and exhausting my Gods... Cause the strategic involvement and enthusiasm has truly worn out... And unless there's something new added like 2nd round of gods or Special Alliance War abilities or some passive in battle ability via a God... It's prolly going to be the same. But nonetheless it's a great feature which just needs more decoration
I Hope it'll all come together and better when released for public

Nial very well said I agree I an still voting 4 some sort of God reboot even if it is only like ur top 5 gods or whatever like I said in a earlier post

Not a fan of the two day war. Three wars a week with one day off, right? Lots of complaints

[xprs]

Any reason my alliance wasn't matched with anyone for this war? Is that now a thing, that if you win a lot your alliance doesn't receive an alliance to fight against so you miss out on rewards?

Just a bug, we will look into it

We have same issue in fruit nation, also no result page or rewards from yesterday

[Kupo]

Go back to 1 days war, with the current rewards for 2 days. And it actually feels good and worthwhile to try.

Hi Andreac, I see that Fruit Nation is matched with Spassfraktion in the current War. Is it still not showing up for you? You do have an opponent so I'm curious why it's not showing up for you!

xprs, what is your alliance? (I'm assuming you are still not seeing a match!)
