Feedback Thread: Alliance Tools

[Guest]

Now that we've added some Alliance tools, what do you think? What improvements would you like to see? What do you love/hate/etc?

Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful feedback!

Last Log In and Donated Troops stats are very useful.

How about a button to toggle alliance and opponents on the war map. When u press the button it shows attack results against the alliance and when you press it again it goes back to the results against the opponent. Right now we can see the opponent number and stars gained. Perhaps allow us to see how the opponents fared against us without having to click on each section on the map blindly or scrolling the results.

Add the Co-Leader or some original name for the title.

This online status is the best and worst feature in this update. You can find who is actually is online but it also mean I can not lurk in the dark anymore.

I like the extra info like when last logged in. Helps track inactives. It's also handy to see who's lurking *cough... Monkey God* ( Yellowmar ) I also like the bookmarking system but there needs to be an easy way to bring up war opponents especially when they use a different alphabet.

What I really don't like in your new tools is the lifetime donation amount starts at update. Isn't there a way to use the acual lifetime amount?

The who is online is great, new stats on troops also good. Bookmarking alliances yep nice idea. Now to the what were you thinking ...

Search criteria for alliances. Why on earth or any other place in the universe are closed alliances even coming up in the search! The medal range is fine but it used to be that if you left an alliance or never had one a list of potential candidates would appear. Usually around your medal count area. Now its a big scroll through single player alliances of closed or newly started up. Not helpful

I like all new features being added. Love to see more

- allow alliances in war freely chat maybe good idea, but also possible bad idea considering the cost of free speech. Maybe we can be conservative first by allowing each alliance publishes a Declaring war statement (limit number of characters for sure) and it will show in opponent alliance's chat window

- Can we have more ranks for alliance member? Now only leader, coleader, council,ally. Having more ranks will be a good tool for leader to commend members with contribution. It does not really need to mean any practical privilege, it is purely a title with maybe some cosmetic appearance. Don't underestimate the power of title.

- Is it possible to allow the alliance leader searching for players and send invitation/offer? All players without alliance or registering interest to "talent pool" can be queried by alliance leader, just like player searching available alliance. This makes the choice bi-directional

Sorry Gailwho, even if they fix it, I don't think there is room in the display for donations past 100,000....

But this! Its very important for smaller alliances (like ours) to be ever displayed. If you search a word and the first are closed alliances,then the open alliances are all way down! That doesnt make sense and it worsens game for open alliances
Thanks in advance to bring this up to developers!

I would also like to see more ranks for alliance members. Generals, Sargent etc based on the leader appointment or performance. Each rank gives that person special bonuses in War such as a defense blessing, extra troops or an extra general. Bring more strategy in alliance wars. Of course the number of people in each rank will be limited.

Sorry to mention this first, but the no new members and AI problems are very pressing for your community and game, and dwarf anything you can improve here. Please fix them so that things like future alliance improvements actually matter.

However, I really do like the new alliance features, they were sorely lacking for leaders! Last online time, and alliance mail are very helpful. Here are two suggestions that are hopefully easy to implement:
1) Please allow us to do more than just an alliance tweet. I think I can fit 1-2 sentences in the mail. Its not really enough by a far stretch, needs to be 4-5x the amount of text to formulate an attack plan, advice on bases, etc....things that would be ordinarily sent on mail.

2) Because of #1, I often send out 2-3 mails to formulate a thought or message to the alliance. But, there is a max of 3 messages. Maybe either increase the max messages, increase the duration they are available (its 24 hours now I think). Id just like some sort of way to better leverage the system to communicate.

I love all additions, especially the login time and the lifetime donation. What I would like to see on top is the players nation in the list, just added behind their name. I always have to visit the base to get to know this info because this info is missing in the list.
The new sorting options are great, too. And if the nation will be visible, I would also like to be able to sort the players by nation. So this may best be an own column.

Alliances are overrated !! ........ (gets in car and gets the hell out of dodge)

 

[GailWho]

Pish... Maybe it's you Rav. Sounds like somebody doesn't play well with others.

 

[Ravenlord]

I think my scorn comes from 'way back when'. I was always shunned by others - you know, cos of my protruding buccal apparatus.

Or maybe it was because I always wanted to play with others .........

Been trying to arrange a war to clear the fog surrounding 2 generals in war. Couple of thing i would like to see added. The ability to declare on another alliance. You should not have to spend so much time arranging for a matchup hoping that a search will find both alliance. The messaging system should be extended to leaders and coleader of another alliance. I should not have to leave my alliance to chat with another alliance. Off topic. What happended to a leaderboard for alliance wars. As bad as it is they can use the current system for normal players for alliances. Each alliance can be placed in a league and a small reward of crown can be awarded for wins based on their league. Not sure about 1/-39 point system though.

Finally thanks Martine.

 

[Martine]

Sure thing, anytime .. um ... what for though ?

Lol ... you are fooling no one with your I should not have to leave comment. We all know you have a curious nature which leads to to wander off on an adventure to other alliances.

 

[GailWho]

I hardly notice it any more... Hobbit Zombies is a great place to start. It'll be fun to watch your bromance with Brand Marrow blossom on our chat. We already have a Batman vs Superman bromance going... What's one more? lol
