Yesterday i was thinking, what if you can make it easier to seach an alliance in the game.
As a new player you dont have clue what to even write in that emty spot you get to find you new home.
And if no one of the other players in the chat gives you a hint, its even harder (but often you get suggestions of an alliance or two that take new playes under their wings)
What if you could serch by cups/thropies aswell?
so if im new and have played abit and have 345 cupsâŚi wanna join an alliance and could search alliances that have minimum 200 cups instead of comming up with a name and hope for the best.
Or say you got over 2000 cups and want to find those greater alliances just hitting the minimum 2000 cups button and what country you want to search in.
not everyone want to chat and ask others, so this, i think is a easier way to find what you looking for. But ofc you go by reputation aswell
To be honest, there are two or three things you can do to improve your situation rather than change a search engine which I doubt will happen.
First go into the forum and read the Recruitment threads. There are always lots of alliances looking for new members. The good ones will say what they can offer and also what they are looking for.
Second you can put an advert in the recruitment thread asking to join an alliance and say what you are looking for. You will then receive offers.
Third - and I think this is your best option - look to join a training alliance before you jump into an established alliance.
Good luck
Me like many others just want to play the game and are not active in forums like this to âimproveâ the chances, I want a quicker way to find what im looking for, rather than go over many post to serch and discuss
if you are a new player atleast, the first thing on you mind is not to join a forum to find an allianceâŚ
its to serch it in the game.
I have played this game over 1 year and i never ever thought of this forum until yesterdayâŚso i still think its easier to be able to have the option of it in the game
I am pretty sure that a significant majority of the players find their alliance through the in-game search. So this forum is not the solution, just a small mitigation.
I think that supporting filters in the search such as trophies threshold, alliance score, titan score and war score is an obvious requirement.
@Paksenarrion just as a starter for ten, one recent training alliances that posted in the recruitment threads was - Zero genesis.
Why not check them out to see if they are of any interest to you. @SilverDragonR can you help?
This Alliance Search capability is (in my opinion) a valuable miss that should get attention.
With a desire to be helpful, i thought that I would provide a prioritized list of the filters that would matter, most important numbered first, so that developers could figure out what they have time for.
*NOTE: ANY added filters would be HUGE (like really really big).
Filter Language (the Language selected by the Alliance leadership settings).
Filter the membership fill (like 22/30 or 30/30). This serves so many needs.
Filter the Required Trophies level (to request to join) AND the Type (either OPEN or INVITE ONLY).
*NOTE: If I was trying to identify the ânecessaryâ versus "nice to haveâ"elements, the above would be the ânecessaryâ ones, and the below would be the ânice to haveâ.
Current titan level (whatever is the current or most recent level of titan that the alliance is working or has killed or let go). Donât worry about any averages or historical trends, the titanâs go up or down readily enough for the current titan to be âclose enoughâ for the purposes of a searcher.
The Activity of the alliance, measured by the most recent login/logoff of ANY of the players. If the alliance has even 1 player that has logged in/off within the recent day, it is currently active, and if the most recent login/off was between 24 and 48 hours, then it is 1 day active, etc. (Trying to think like a developer, I think it wouldnât be too difficult for a developer to do a filtered list (temp table, view, function or procedure) of the unique list of alliances that players that have logged in/off between 0 and 24 hours, to display, or 0 to 48, or 0 to 72, etc, to show based on the filter number used (0, 1, 2,âŚ), AND the number used will very frequently be a small number.
Alliance Wars selection, if itâs on or off.
*NOTE: Once the filter list has been generated, then a sort option might be handy, to sort the âfoundâ list by one (or more if development wants to tackle multiples) of the categories.
For example, once the list of matches has been generated, then the searcher will probably not care about the alphabetical sort, but rather the number of members, the trophy requirement, the activity level, or something like that, but most likely not merely the name.
I look for Alliance Score over Number of Players. You can see the average score contributed by each player. I also look for the top 10 membersâ cups. Why? Because I want to be in Top 10 cups. For me, that means I am in a moderately active alliance
At the moment there are three elements which are challenging.
External help with the Titans.
search for members
search for alliances
several alliances need help in taking down the titan.
At this time messages are put in the chat (even in those that have no relevance), only that end up lost in the flow of messages. Inspired by other experiences, a mechanism could be created through which to ask for help.
A hypothesis?
a) In the alliance, a sort of âHelpâ button should appear on the titan.
b) for those who want to help, there should be âroomsâ in which the requests for help appear divided by the power of the titan (1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, âŚ). For help, the âroninâ typology can be created. Each individual alliance can have a number of ronins (a dozen) who temporarily join together to fight the titan. The time it takes to win the titan remains within the alliance. won the titan are out.
search for members ^ _ ^. It is currently unsuccessful. I wanted to propose a method similar to that of point 1. A request form appears in alliances.
search for alliances. this should be added to the classic search. an alliance seeking members I can consider active. those looking for an active alliance look here.
I totally agree that there should be âroomsâ for various kinds of help - e.g. Alliance recruitment etc. As you say at present all such messages are drowned in the constant flow of chat
Some of the issues you have raised, I think there are already solutions.
Point 2. Search for members
Have you tried advertising in alliance recruitment on the forum? In my experience, so much better than via global chat. There are also Line and Discord alliance recruitment groups you could join.
Point 3. Search for alliances
Again the forum. Create an ad that youâre looking for a new alliance, place in alliance recruitment and youâll be inundated with offers.
Points 1&4 both related to titans and requests for merc assistance. In recent times, before PoV mercs were thought not too highly of by some. Changes in reduced loot as well held little incentive for mercs⌠fast forward to PoV titan quests, mercs are again valued. .
the problem was to use a recruiting method while staying in the game.
the current alliance search method is fine if one is looking for a specific by name or any active alliance.
But there is no method within the game to bring together those who seek elements with those who seek alliances they seek.
There would be elements to fix:
if i have 400 cups and the alpha alliance only accepts members with 1000 cups what do i do? there are two solutions
a) the request of the alliance requesting 1000 cups does not appear to those who have less than 1000 cups
b) whoever enters through a request for new items can ignore the cup parameter. so if, as an example I have 400 cups, I can also join an alliance that requires a minimum of 1000 through recruitment.
here we return to the point. the current research is fine if i am looking for any alliance. or search by name. they are searches in which complete alliances also appear.
it is not to seek an alliance that exists or is active.
it is to seek an alliance he intends to recruit.
it is useless to deny the existence of players who enter and leave the alliances because they are not interested in being part of it, but are only interested in attacking the titan.
Just as there are alliances that find themselves in need of external help.
they exist, we might as well take them into account.
Or at least thatâs my thought ^ _ ^
you misunderstood.
I donât mean to exclude them âŚ
If they respect other players, I have no problem with those players who give external support.
If there are players who come and go behaving politely where the problem is.
Those who lend a hand are always welcome ^ _ ^
alliances seek players
and there are players looking for alliances.
it may seem strange, but it is so.
the forum may be fine.
however I am sorry that there is no more efficient method in the game.
As far as something has already done.
as well as to coordinate with their alliance groups are used on telegram, whatsapp, wechat, signal, messenger, âŚ
not even me :-P.
thatâs why I proposed something more effective within the game
For many new player it can be easyer to go to an alliace that uses your own language .
So if you could clik on a flag an change it to your nation flag you will get up a list whit alliace that have free space whit your flag.
Second stage to do it easyer for new player is to change " only invitations" to " only applications" .
It is confusing to have " only invitation" when nobody can invite
