War matching

[Lazy Prophet]

There's gotta be some kind of adjustment made to world war match ups, My alliance keeps getting opponents that are much stronger. I'd prefer searching longer to find a closer match than getting stuck with unfair match ups. What about showing a list of all alliances(similar to your alliance strength) that are also searching for war to choose from?

100 pct agree. Why is it auto choose? Why cant we choose who we war with! And both leaders or co leaders have to accept or decline. Will eliminate sandbagging. Brilliant idea

This issue is so 2016...

And, nexon isn't going to deal with it. They claim they have already fixed the sandbagging issue (which is a really a matchmaking issue) and that only 5 percent of alliances have issues with war matchmaking.

Hilarious, right?

Learn to strategize your war roster to help avoid those matches, it is a strategy game after all

You mean adding bags so you can screw someone else?

Putting bags in a war roster is NOT strategy. Please don't even try to make that argument. It is the easy way out; it makes your problem someone else's problem.

It is a game after all. I prefer to not be in a position where I am a bully.

Also, wtf? Are you seriously arguing that sandbagging should be part of this strategy game?


Sorry, if I offended you by not staying in your alliance. I know what it is like to be in an impossible match, and I would prefer to not do it to someone else. Just a game.

I want an option to just concede a match. Let them have the glory, gain no AXP, move on for a second match. If it isn't competitive at all, it is worthless to both side. I want to have good, fun wars, a few times a week. Two bad matchups in a row is a whole weeks worth of wars for no purpose.

We've been getting a ton of bad matchups lately. Either they're way above us or way below us. But almost never a fair fight.

We drop medal requirements every couple wars to let in new players. We still expect those players to read chat and make war attacks though. It takes some extra effort to coach new players, but we would prefer this method over creating sandbag accounts. Since we only kick players for breaking war rules or not communicating, our war roster has become rather stratified with players of varying skill levels. Most recruits do end up getting kicked either for not communicating, breaking rules, or not heeding advice, but some of those recruits (over 70% of our roster now) have continued to grow with the alliance. We're currently in the 21k-22k glory range and we win almost all of our wars without having to cheat or create sandbags. Anyways, I'm not arguing against you or for NoMem Wilson, I'm just sharing how my alliance has adapted without cheating.

I think there is a difference in intent.

Alliances that put lower level recruits into war and don't expect them to attack is kind of similar to sandbagging (if not the same thing).

Having the same standards no matter the level is hard to find these days. I think there is nothing wrong with including everyone if you have the same standards, and please identify yourself because I am looking for you (a PM is fine if you are shy).

This is a game, and I just don't get it. I would never want to outmatch another alliance because of bags. I would feel terribly. I don't know how people do it. Even if it is only 1 in 10 matches. You are still a bully to that 10th alliances unless you forfeit (which we all know, doesn't happen).

I would feel like a coward....

 

[Pepyto]

Maybe war league could be good answer, so we choose league participants? First league with strongest alliances, second league with a bit weaker, and so on...

 

[Telemark948]

You can't compete against alliance's that have the first 16 members level 180 and above then the last few are level 12 or below. One base had literally nothing in it, no buildings no walls nothing!!!!. Plus we are supposed to win this war, it's a joke..

 

[Hansi]

Our alliance lost 8 World Wars straight before we started getting weaker enemies. But in the last 4 wars, we got very well-matched opponents, which led me to believe that BHG has finally fixed the issue. But then the current opponent is somewhat a little below our level.

 

[No Angel]

Yeah this issue is so 2016 lol. Actually even if it still sounds unfair, if they still want to automatch, at least put the warring alliances in the same levels/leagues, which is of course should depend on our ranks. It is so nonsense if they say they are matching us with another alliance with similar experience level. Based on what?!

 

[LordStark263AC]

Wrong. You lost 8 Wars in a row and lost Glory. Now you'll be facing weaker alliances, once you'll win 3-4 Wars it'll be back to same page. Nothings changed in the last 2 years even if Nexon wants you to believe otherwise.
