New members after the update

[Tower]

Before the last update we usually got a new member very fast after kicking a member. Now it takes ages.. Meaning hours/days
We are open w 800 medals minimum requirement - so that shouldnt be an issue

magnifico yes u r right, but how Long can this last? From 35v35, to 30v30, to 25v25... The slow bleeding process takes place. It is not sustainable to keep reducing war size

 

[ccfoo]

Ironangel? Any admins? We do really need help, the slow bleeding process has already taken place, losing members but not able to find new members to replace those who left. Yes, we can push for recruitment in this forum, but how many players will actually visit this forum now after a year or so? I doubt the activity here is similar to that a year ago.

Please do something about this soon! We are slowly dying!

We must have picked the worst possible time to remove inactive players last week, with the new update we have had only 1 recruit in 10 days now. In the past when we removed someone a newbie would join within hours, not any more.
I read what Nexon have done but I can't understand the logic for it. The older more established alliances that have worked hard to get to where to our current position are now being starved of new members. This would not have been the intent of the change but it is the reality. Please revert back to the previous system before more and more people get frustrated with the whole situation and leave the game.

Out of 32 only 22 have war selected. A number of those are probably fairly low so we would be in a 20-20 ranging industrial to medieval. Slaughter.

Same here our alliance uk super greens is at 34 members and we just don't get any new joiners since update. I'm recruiting as best i can but it's getting ridiculous now. Only showing top 100 alliances doesn't help either

 

[Maurmo]

How on earth can you find an alliance that isn't in the top 100? The alliance search doesn't work. We are seeing no new joiners since patch. We are being cut off. This is killing mid Alliances.

 

[fussy]

Exactly. My team worked hard to get in top 500 so we could be noticed and it really made a difference. We are now bk in the darkness

My alliance is the Elite Donators. It may not be the most original or inspiring name, but until the update it seemed to attract a decent number of folks. Now, we don't even show up if you search for "elite" or "donators".

I don't know how to tell alliance rank if you're not in the top 100, which we aren't, but I suspect we're not even in the top 500. We aren't an alliance of power players. We're not shooting to top the in-game alliance boards or the unofficial world war boards. My vision for our alliance is pretty simple: when allies request troops, they should get good ones without having to wait too long. It's surprisingly difficult to get this to happen consistently, and requires a fair amount of pruning. People join and then never request or donate ever, or request and request and never donate. In any free to play game there's a lot of churn and this one is no exception, so even formerly-reliable allies frequently go inactive for one reason or another. Without a constant infusion of new players, it's easy to drop below the critical mass of people requesting and donating needed to keep the alliance viable.

You guys have access to metrics and information that I don't, but it seems to me that routing people towards well-populated, active alliances is likely to provide a more satisfying experience than shunting them into small alliances where their troop requests may go unanswered for hours or even days. People who care about such things know which the top alliances are, so the big guys will probably always have a pretty easy time finding recruits. It's the modest, mid-tier alliances like mine that this change really hurts. If you want to encourage new alliances, maybe flag alliances that are relatively new and active as up-and-comers and let people search specifically for those? But in the meantime, please reconsider the change to the alliance search so that you don't inadvertently starve a bunch of active, vibrant alliances of the recruits they need to keep going.

This is killing alliances they need to fix this ASAP we were lucky to get 5 players from another alliance that it was disolve cause of lack of members

 

[alexmartinez1130]

I think nexonm is trying to make us combine alliances or something

 

[ccfoo]

Why isn't there any follow up from Ironangel or any other admins? This issue is serious enough to not be ignored like other bugs! Would they want the alliances in the game to die off one by one? Would they want new players to get stuck in a rut, not enjoy and leave the game? Do they really wish to see many alliances being destroyed just because nexon wants to populate inactive and dead clans with a handful of members who remained just because they failed to exit before they left the game?

 

[fussy]

Yes things are becoming hard i can't even search my alliance....uk super greens

 

[helix900]

Update: Still only 1 new member since update, things are spinning out of control now. What are Nexon doing? This must be fixed RIGHT NOW!!. They gotta have a backup of the game before the update, my suggestion is RUN THE BACKUP!! for crying out loud!!!

 

[Natasha751]

This really does need fixing, there is a lot of talk about kicking inactive and players that don't donate in the alliance but if we do that there won't be enough of us to be effective in wars.

 

[fussy]

If i search UK for my alliance UK super greens we are not searchable. Just alliances with 1 or 2 members clearly not looking for recruiting. Such a pointless system. How are we 2 be found? Ppl have no hope in joining top 100 alliances with joining medals of 1400 so will just play alone and become bored. Are nexon really listening to us?

 

[NokNokJoke]

Since the update we've had one new member, down from 5-10 a week. We can't replace players that are leaving and get kicked. You need to fix this.

 

[ArizonaBay]

We are having the same issue. We created a new alliance about 10 days ago with a core group of players from an existing alliance and since creation, we have had just 2 players join (neither of which even bothered saying hello before requesting troops of course). This needs to be fixed ASAP. This should be the developer's top priority as of right now.

 

[Guinevere]

In our last war I was able to search the enemy alliance and see how active players were etc. Started a new war this morning and I cannot find the enemy in alliance search at all. Obviously something is going on when you cant find an existing alliance. There were at least 20 inactive with the same name.

 

[sponge]

We're in the same boat. After initial flood of Asians, only 3 new members joined. We're down to 40 right now, but that number seems to go down as we clean inactives and leechers. Alliance name is Dark Ages.

Hello Nexon? Stop denying that the problem exist and do something about it now. Thanks so much!
