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

 

[Maurmo]

This needs active attention ..you are killing active Alliances. We are in top 300 but not one join. PLEASE treat this as URGENT!

 

[Magnifico]

I think it's telling that nobody has chimed in to say "Wow, this is great! We used to have a lot of trouble getting new members but now we are getting plenty of new recruits." That suggests to me that the alliances that are receiving the recruits now aren't active enough to notice. :/

I think they mustve change something because we got filled up really fast too it seems that we are back to normal

 

[veikko5]

Scandinavians has the same problem. That is mainly the reason I started recruiting. Normally we'd be 44-47 members strong, but now we are down to 32 members. No new joiners ever since the update. We are withering. Please change things back (or closer) to the way they were.

Update: Still only 1 new recruit since the update of the game. We are down to 38 now and cannot kick the deadweight overboard. Run the backup and restore the game as it was before the update.

 

[Waster10]

Is this because they only show the top 100 rather than the top 500?

2 weeks now, one new member (who lasted 1 day). The longer you let this go, the more it will snowball. Please just reverse the change as soon as you can. Everyone here is just asking for the old (not broken) system back. Of all the things that were chosen to have development resources invested in, it is beyond me why this was picked

 

[King Barbs]

Surely Ironangel the solution is quite simple really, you guys made a change in the last update that is strangling existing alliances for members, just reverse the change. Problem solved. Everybody would be happy.

This is getting ridiculous... We had 46 members, then we kicked 3 members due to poor war performance at 13:00 CET yesterday. At ca 22:00 CET we got our first new member. Bringing us 44. We are still at 06:40 (next day) at 44 members. That means we got one new member in the first 18 hrs after the "kick-a-you" event. Wonder how long we will have to look for the next...
At least I hope the new members we get pass our new member test (which is to say "hello" in the chat the first 20 min), if not we need to kick and wait an eternity again...

26 hrs and still only one recruit...
Based on the fact that Domination now is below 60 in Apple ranking download list, fewer and fewer "old timers" in the forum and the fact that we got only 1 new recruit in 26 hrs.... Im starting to believe the game is dying since obviously no new players enter and old timers are retiring.

 

[Jolly the Wise]

I share the concerns already expressed. To all the comments and posts made above I would add the following:

By reducing the display of Top alliances from 500 to 100 the game designers have removed a strong incentive for a lot of alliances to try to reach a goal for us it has been to reach the Top 500.

In the process they have effectively declassified 400 alliances as now no longer "Top" and left them in the dark as to their standing. At roughly 45 players per alliance that's 18,000 players who have been pissed off at one fell swoop. Way to go game designers.

Situation before the update at our alliance:
Alliance had 45-47 members: kicked 3-4 members - in the next 5 minutes 3-4 new members came.

Situation after the update at our alliance:
Alliance had 45-47 members: kicked 3-4 members - in the next 2 weeks 1 new member came.

Thanks a lot for this update...

Ironangel This is so disheartening. What used to be a flood of new members each time someone was removed from our alliance is now one or two over one or two weeks. From 47 we are now down to 31 and two of those are now inactive and need to be removed. We have a whole frustrated alliance here and the inclination to fix it or involve our members is dwindling also. Has interest in supporting this game also gone because other games are being worked on? Are you phasing it out?

 

[fussy]

This is what i think. I used to looks for alliances this way.

 

[S_How]

It is so frustrating not to get more communication on such a huge issue to the community. I posted in the thread on the general discussion board, and I'll put it here too. We finally after 2 weeks got a new member. Used to be 15 minutes at most if we dropped medals.

We also had our longest wait ever since the start of wars for a 35v35, it took hours and hours to find a match, I can only assume its because of this exact problem and alliances are shrinking.

Oddly enough, we looked up an old alliance that some of our members came from. The leader is 200 days inactive, there are no coleaders, and 75% of the alliance is 150-200 days inactive too. However, they somehow filled up to 48 people and have about a dozen new people filling their ranks. I am guessing because of this new logic thats built in? What are you doing nexon? You are hurting the active alliances keeping this game alive, and you are delivering awful experiences to people looking for a new home in the game. There should be nothing higher priority than this to fix. Its baffling.

 

[Fortress]

This problem of getting new members is getting extremely frustrating! There's zero new recruits since update.

Why are you encouraging people to start new alliances and sending members to them??? If your logic is to expand and get more alliances I think this will totally not work at all and in the process you will actually kill all old active alliances. We had 48 members but now we're down to 31 after getting rid of inactive players.

Please restore back the alliance gate to the previous update, what is the point of all these fancy new features when it fails in its most basic task which is to find an active alliance for newbies, and to get members for active alliances?

 

[Nik.PackerNation]

I've had an alliance for over a year...we are not hard hitters, but we are consistent. We have around a 10,000 medal count. It was easy to maintain 45 players before with an 800 min medals. After dropping min medals to 600 I can hardly keep 32 members. I'm hesitant to even kick anyone else, but will not disappoint the rest of my guys. So what is a better situation...an alliance with no players, or an alliance with crap players? Morale killer, eh? I hate to be "that guy" but, this is a game killer!

 

[Natasha751]

Yesterday an inactive player who never donated and did not want to go to war left our alliance. Normally, that wouldn't bother me but now...come back little dead weight. Down to 32 members also.

 

[Guinevere]

We just had a war 25-25. Checked on our opponent and they only have 25 players!
We are down to 31 and theres a lot of grumbling going on. Not good for our happy bunch.
