I have a question to all the players posting in this thread: Are the players getting knocked out all co-leaders, Elders, Members or mixed? I had an idea…
I had often been going to the War tab to change the banner with Settings:
I hit the outer left corner, but it would be really easy to accidentally click your participation.
Solution: AVOID WAR TAB for this purpose and change settings in Titan box. (I avoid the Members tab to change settings because it’s just too easy to click the [leave] button by mistake.
@Rook The player who was kicked out of war in our alliance is currently an elder. I cannot guarantee what his status was at the time he was removed from the war as he was promoted around the same time.
Hmmm…could promoting someone have anything to do with it?
@Rook I agree this is a very good suggestion. Unfortunately, in the situation with our player, this is not applicable as our alliance info is set and does not get changed (Although I’m sure it needs updated!). There would be no reason for any elder or above to touch this setting so would not accidentally remove the checkmark from War participation.
Again, I’m not 100% sure what his title was at the time he was removed from War. He could have still been a member…Just not sure.
Well, I don’t think it’s been disproved. Lol. I know he didn’t opt out on purpose, but he is quite an E&P addict so he may have grabbed his phone in the middle of the night and hit the wrong button
I think more information is needed to prove or disprove any of the suggested hypothesis:
SGs algorithm magically removes 1+ players to make matches with identical amount of players.
An issue with elders and above (aka fat-fingers on the Settings button).
Does changing a persons status cause the issue?
Besides the conspiracy theories around SG doing it to make us mad (), did I miss any?
Please post here every time it happens to you (and I would go ahead and report to Game Support directly), until it stops happening.
Maybe after the latest update is downloaded it will be solved. crosses fingers
I actually like the movement of the [settings] button and participation box. Much easier to click the settings and NOT accidentally click participation on/off.
@Rook I talked with our alliance member (@Shonp) who was kicked out of wars. He stated that he was a regular member at that time and was promoted to Elder after.
If this is correct, that would discount the hypothesis that players with settings were accidentally hitting the participation box instead of the settings button. It would also remove the hypothesis that changing a player status (promoting) triggers a bug.
Sorry, no screenshot or other proof to back this up. In my world, if you don’t have the proof then it didn’t happen (), but with other people complaining of the same thing it makes me think there is something else going on.
Thank-you for taking the time to collect the data!
This precisely matches our situation. The person excluded from the War in our alliance was a regular member. After the War had already begun, and he’d been excluded, he was promoted to Elder.
So I agree, it doesn’t seem to be related to being a leader/co-leader, and it doesn’t seem to be related to having promoted someone, since in both cases the promotion happened after the exclusion.
Now our Leader is forced to be a spectator in the upcoming war… I was hoping there would be a solution here but alas, it does not appear so. Yes his check mark is there, Yes he is running the latest version… yes…
Hello, I wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem… in the past few months, then again for this war we have had players not included in war even though the box has been checked with ample time, their levels are way past 14 and theh have their defense teams set. Has anyone else experienced this?
Have they used war energy in the last two wars? Players using 0 war energy twice in a row are automatically deselected for the next war. This is in fact the reason Devs caved and added individual opt out AND this customer service issue is why the Devs resisted both individual and alliance opt out ( and why I never expect to see a titan skip, lock, etc. option).
Did they accidentally, or on purpose, use a defense team hero to level another hero. Defense teams with 1- 4 heroes are automatically excluded from war. Our new TeeBeeters often screw up their war defense team heroes and troops since they are still leveling 1* to 3* heroes and 1* to 2* troops. Also why Devs resisted adding Spectator Mode.
Did they accidentally leave, and come back after matching?
The player is level 30 & wasn’t feeding any 4 & 5 stars to other heroes. They have been active in War. They did have to opt out the last 2 wars for medical reasons, but that shouldn’t penalize them, like being a part of the war & not using any flags.
), did I miss any?
