That’s not clan recruitment per say? And the place is sort of dead when it comes to that tbh.

There is no official clan recruitment channel in Clan Wars Asia.

But yes, Clan Wars Asia is the dedicated E-Sports server for Asia so to speak.

# slate swan How to get clan leader

If you mean the clan leader role, you send a message in-game to amaunet85 so she can verify you are a clan leader. Tell her your Discord name so she can assign you the role here. Thus far, the role does not do anything on Discord. Hopefully, at some point they require it to post in this channel.

Welp, firstly you will need some caller aka person who has map knowledge and is confident to organise whole team during battle and make calls. Also, keep in mind that communication is key to success, so don't even try to build team without using voice chat. After all these things, you can start playing tournaments. Make sure to have at least 8 players in team, because you will face a problem if for example someone will disconnect just before start of battle etc

@fickle glen I'd like for our other Clan Leaders to see my message because even though I'm forming a new comp team, I'm specifying that it offers an opportunity for players to get comp experience with us to bring back to their "home Clan".

Could that not be considered appropriate for a forum designated as a discussion space for Clan Leaders?

My message is essentially what my response to frostbaka was. SIGYN is forming a new comp team, and if any of you guys have members who might like to get some comp experience we'd love to host them.

We're not interested in poaching anyone's members, it's purely just a temporary arrangement to help SIGYN get it's team off the ground, and in return those temporary players can gain valuable experience to bring back to their respective Clans.

Our "Odin's Chosen" will be an approachable team to learn with.

I've asked Devs for clan avatars and clan camos many times, but they have never done it. I suggested they should have official clan camos to choose from for supply level 9+ clans for leaders to choose just like you choose your clan logo. Right now, you're limited to "Clan Warrior" and it's terrible, but it could be one of 10 you can choose for your official clan camo for example.

#

Imagine if you get a clan avatar when you join with a gray outline. The more platoons you do, the higher the ring with blue, purple, and eventually gold rings for platooning with clan mates. This works like the avatars for wins or damage restored in mode battles but for clan platoons. @empty gate I am pinging you with this idea!

Yes you can go to get experience in other clans without deserting or being cut off from your original clan.

It’s a mid idea in my opinion and there’s things they should focus on in clans and not cosmetics yet

I think personalised clan logos are deserved for the top clan wars teams, I still think Super testing clans should get that exclusive clan avatar also though.

WG should give clan leaders the ability to delete inappropriate messages from clan chat.

I have kids (one I know is 9 years old) in my clan and we have a strict no-cussing policy. Some guys with no self control will cuss and we give them a stern warning. More than a few times we get guys like this one yesterday who for some unknown reason go on a angry, hate-filled rant cussing as much as possible and working hard to figure out ways to bypass WG's filtering. Sure you kick them from your clan, ban them from your discord, remove them from your role, add them to your ban-forever list (noting the number in case they change their name), but you can't get rid of the rude, hateful speech from your clan chat. I end up wasting a bunch of time sending tons of messages into the clan chat to push the hateful speech off the bottom of the chat. Why won't they just do the right thing and allow us to delete messages that violate the game's EULA or our own clan rules?

One good tip I could give you guys,you could to keep people active do the following,I have it in my clan but basically do this,make sure people do a minimum of ten clan points per week and if they don't by Sunday night remove them,it keeps people active and also gets active players in to.
Sure if some one has like oo 5 points you can let it slide but anyone who blatantly does nothing get rid.

A clan needs active members,it's useless if loads aren't doin anything as it was

We require everyone to pitch in 40 points / 10 platoons each week. This is made clear when they apply to join us & we keep an eye on everyone's progress with it during each Monday reset.

If someone doesn't contribute for two consecutive weeks, we ask them if they still want to be in the Clan. More often than not, they'll turn it around and continue contributing. We're consistently ranked in the top-10 most active Clans on NA over a 90day period & I'm convinced enforcing minimums like this is a huge contributor to that.

stray granite
#

These numbers are timely. Our clan is revising our rules and we're discussing setting 35 points as our weekly requirement.

I did one a long while ago but found the ingame invites more effective. all my deputies are tasked to be on the lookout and we get alot in but many don't stay active. there is only a few that seem to take to this game . many are looking to simply beat the game and when they figure out there is no beating the game they move on.

# stray granite Not sure what you mean. A clan gets to pick an avatar from a group of like 10-2...

I had a similar thought to this thought a while back, however, I don’t think it would be viable for it to be that easy to get a customisable clan camouflage as it takes away the significance of a clan camouflage/skin.

The only time I’d request that to be an option would be if it was only accessible to you while you are in said clan or, I’d preferably compete on an E-Sports/ level and submit my own clan/team camouflage.

The avatar is a slightly different issue as I can see your point but the uniqueness of being able to create your own is denigrated if everyone can do it. So I’d say clan avatars should be again an E-Sports level reward.

NOTE: Ideally, both of these should only be accessible while the player is in the clan, to add value to being in that clan. (if you chose to leave you no longer have access to these elements unless you rejoin.)

Consider it like this, WG are selling the IS-6 Fearless in the E-Sports store, the rarity and value in obtaining the IS-6 Fearless has now degraded somewhat because of it. Especially the Fearless tank series as they have always been reward tanks, a token of skill and achievement, being sold/given to everyone.

Yes I know, the e-sports store is not everyone, however, they should have to earn the tank, not earn enough to buy it with special e-sports currency. Like everyone is doing with the current T49 Fearless, that’s a much more appropriate way of obtaining the Fearless tanks.

NOTE One thing I never understood about wg and blitz is that not a single, yes, single, e-sports tournament has had a special tank as a part of the prize pool. It astonishes me.

And, as far as the success of having an advert in #clan-recruitment ... it can't hurt to be seen, can it? The first time you create the advert, it may take a little time to type something up, have a logo, maybe do an additional graphic. But, after that, it should be easy peasy to post it up once a week.

#

Plus it gives you something to reference, when you direct message somebody who is looking for a clan in #clan-search Like hey, we see you are looking for a clan. Maybe our clan (clan advert link) could be a good fit.

stray granite
# rich willow I had a similar thought to this thought a while back, however, I don’t think it ...

On the clan avatar
The avatar is a slightly different issue as I can see your point but the uniqueness of being able to create your own is denigrated if everyone can do it.

I suggesting that supply level 9+ clan members could choose an avatar that matches their clan logo. Clan leaders can choose from a set of logos for their clan. There are probably 20 clan logos to choose from, although I haven't counted. It seems reasonable that clan members could choose that as their avatar if they want to. I didn't want (I don't think I suggested?) that every clan could have their own custom avatar. That would be too much to ask. But being able to use the clan logo as your avatar seems pretty easy to manage. Once you hit supply level 9 you can use this camo and this avatar if you want.

FYI the clan leader role has been removed as it doesn't currently do or mean anything - it was originally created for a specific event, which has long since been over. This channel is open for everyone to discuss things in

#

however for anyone messaging me for a role at any time (in case it comes back), don't just dm me in game, you also need to dm me on here so I know there's a message I need to respond to somewhere (especially if it's not EU server)

stray granite
# restive ibex FYI the clan leader role has been removed as it doesn't currently do or mean any...

It would have been useful if the clan leadership role had allowed those with it to post at say 2-5 minute intervals and anyone with a basic NA, EU, or APAC role could post at 1 hour intervals. Then people with aspirations of starting a clan could come in and seek advice, but not easily spam the channel. Likewise, leadership could discuss topics here in fairly expedient manner. The role is gone, so it may not be important unless the channel begins burdening our moderators with a great deal of spam.

restive ibex
#

Discord doesn’t allow different levels of slowmode for one channel

#

So even if the role existed still, that couldn’t be done

#

The channel is exactly as before, nothing changed about that

stray granite
#

I did not know that. Are you sure? Moderators and staff can send in bursts on slow mode channels, like #blitz-memes. Either way, there was zero delay before. I believe it is set to 2m now for the community, which seems conversational.

restive ibex
#

Wg and mods are different - we bypass slowmode because we have the power to manage messages, so it doesn’t apply to us

stray granite
#

It's 1m now, and it used to be delay free. They could push that up some if necessary. Knowing what you just told me, I'd rather keep this channel open to all and do away with the role as has been done.

fickle glen
#

slowmode is tied only to the “Manage Messages” permission. if that permission is enabled for the role, it would bypass slowmode entirely. only mods and wg have had that permission on any channel on this server

So the clan event(s) are coming up Sept 4-18. Last year it stirred up a bunch of interest for us of people looking for a clan so they could get the Ritter. I expect this year will be the same. This weekend I'll kick some inactives to make room for the players who want to earn the Ritter, Super Hellcat and 50TP P in the event(s). They'll be active for a few weeks.

The key is to use this event to mutual benefit. Make your event players feel welcome, get used to the juicy rewards we get every week as clan members, and hopefully retain some active players after the event. It can be a win win for clan members and event players if circumstances allow and you play your cards right.

Couldn't agree more. I'm going to have a conversation with my deps soon & we might look to temporarily remove all minimums requirements to join us, so long as they fully intend to work towards the event on the behalf of the Clan.

This event is all about mutual benefit. Players want that 50tp (me included) & we as leaders want to see our community thrive with activity. Set up activity expectations with every new applicant, enforce them & value your people accordingly. SIGYN is already in a good place to hit this event on strong footing & I believe those are the reasons why.

Best of luck to your group Pain, and godspeed to all others chasing this!

I posted this above, but I'll post again.

Either you as clan lead or a deputy needs to be almost constantly recruiting. You need to track your players performance and/or activity every week. The problem mostly stems from players who stop playing this game and don't bother to leave the clan, so you end up with tons of members who are no longer players. By tracking your players, you can start kicking the most inactive and replacing them with active players. There is a syndrome of "I don't want to join a clan that is inactive" and that's an uphill battle.

This may ore may not fit your clan, but one suggestion is for your recruiter(s) to play down low in the tier 1-5 arena. Look for players around the 1000-1500 mark with no clan. Why there? A player with 80 battles may quit next week. A player with 60,000 battles and no clan has probably been in a clan and just wants to play on their own. So find new players who have committed to the game and are willing to enjoy what the clan has to offer. Each week kick a few inactive and replace them. This recipe works for my clan and hopefully it will give you some ideas for yours.

After that no drama and no trouble and also English only in clan chat or they are removed also,but as a whole I find blitz players to be quite professional and drama free,only rare times I have trouble.

It's for clan leaders to discuss the issues we face like recruiting, retention, incentivizing, motivating, and keeping players active. How to best track our members, reduce drama, and other topics that clan leaders face every week. This channel's purpose is a place for posts which benefit all clan leaders and their clans.

I need to be able to access the recruitment channel just like everyone else in Clan leadership, and I always follow the rules to the best of my ability.

A few scrolls down below and we have a message in the very same channel. The date is 22th of August at 1:36 AM. If my math isn’t incorrect, I don’t think there’s 7 days in between.

Okay, it's the time difference at play here. Apologies for mistakenly thinking you were referencing my tourney recruitment message as I also posted one there on the 22nd.

For me, I posted a message on the 28th at 3:55pm. On the 21st, I did at 7:36pm. Since you are 6hrs ahead of me, my message on the 21st was the morning of the tuesday the 22nd for you. According to my timezone, I post once a week every Monday.

Surely this can't be the first case of a similar situation if the "once-a-week" isn't moderated according to a standardized timezone. If we have to abide by a specific timezone, can it be written in the rules? In the future I'll try to limit my posts to 5pm local time so it still shows as the same date for you.

Given this context, I really think I should be allowed to repost an advert for my clan. It's a simple mixup.

shut minnow

I don’t think the issues is so urgent that it requires an update to the rules.

fallow nymph
# shut minnow I don’t think the issues is so urgent that it requires an update to the rules.

I'm not necessarily saying it's urgent, just that an agreed-upon timezone should be set in writing. Otherwise the "once-a-week" is subjective, hence this situation.

I never called you a muppet & certainly met no offense. I was just confused & I think we were both missing each other. I already mentioned what I can do to avoid this moving forward, even if the rules aren't updated.

Can I repost my Clan's advertisement?

shut minnow
#

Wait a few days and then you can do it.

lament crescent
#

Just so I know for my own clan, is the requirement based off of a certain time zone or exactly 7 days to the minute? If it is neither of those 2 situations, how close to 7 days should my clan make an ad to avoid time zone problems with any moderator (I’m assuming you all are in different time zones)? Thanks!

shut minnow
lament crescent
fallow nymph
# shut minnow Nobody is surely going to inspect all different possible time zone combinations ...

You've already set a precedent for the channel being moderated according to CET. Why would it not be a good idea to specify that in the rules, putting the responsibility on us as channel-users & ending the whole discussion?

If not, then the only other two methods I see to moderate "once-a-week" on a consistent basis is to either have members prove 7 calendar days separated their adverts, or ask everyone to cross-reference the timezones for each current moderator before they post to ensure no conflicts occur with a message appearing on a different day for every mod's local time.

Everyone who sees this should be asking the same question. I habitually posted my Clan's adverts once every Monday for months and had today's deleted because an advert I posted three weeks ago, late on a monday evening, appeared as Tuesday for a mod 6hrs ahead. This is messy & a better system should be put in place.

Please do not take this personally End. I'm not out to insult anyone & would only like to understand how I'm allowed to advertise for my Clan. I posted a message late-evening Monday the 21st, then early-afternoon Monday the 28th. I followed the rules as they're written.

shut minnow
# fallow nymph You've already set a precedent for the channel being moderated according to CET....

I think you are over exaggerating the issue a little bit, don't you think? First of all, I did not set anything, as you suggest. Again. It is simply me relying on what the platform in front of me tells me. That's all. Secondly, I honestly believe such addition to the rules is not needed. This is, if my memory is not letting me down, the first occurrence of such discussion and I absolutely do not expect it to happen anytime soon. If you check the channel and messages from other moderators, you can notice the vast majority come from Acrisis. He is repeatedly asking people to mind the rules and not post ads every day/every other day, et cetera. I don't think that him, nor anybody else (including me) intents to purposely check the timing of every single individual and whether their content is in Moscow Summer Time or Eastern Time Zone. I hope that it is clear now. So, as a solution that works for both sides, I suggest posting your ad on a specific day, waiting 7 days (whether it shows you 7 days and 2 hours and 6 days and 24 hours to me does not matter) and then simply replying to your own older message the next week for instance. That makes it clear that you are aware of the time requirement, one does not need to check your log and it also negates any possible discussion of time zones and differences.
P.S: Please stop pointing fingers in every single message. I also don't exactly like the fact that many of your messages end by saying what I did wrong and how wrong I am ✌️

fallow nymph
# shut minnow I think you are over exaggerating the issue a little bit, don't you think? First...

Okay just to make sure I understand - I should post my message on any day of my choosing, then wait a full week to post the next, by replying to my earlier one. And when the rules say "7 days apart", is that 7 calendar days or no earlier than a 168hr separation?

Because my two messages were on a Monday, then the next Monday. I thought that's what 7 days apart meant, as I did for the last several months. So is it one message every 7 calendar days for my local timezone, or no two messages can be posted within 7days, 0hrs of each other? If it's the latter, the rules certainly need to be updated to specify this.

shut minnow
#

Post a message on monday, then wait for a week (or more) and post your ad by replying to your older message.

#

The only reason your messages have been deleted is I was checking some of the more serious rule violators and noticed the time differences in your messages weren't exactly ideal, according to my time. No mutes nor bans issues.

fallow nymph
# shut minnow You are looking for something that's not there 😅 It's simple, let's not over co...

I'm only looking for you to specify what "7 days apart" means. That's all. Is it 7 calendar days, or no less than a 168hr / 7day, 0hr separation?

I post as often as I'm allowed on purpose because it's my obligation to find good players for my members to enjoy the game with. I did this in the same manner for months without hearing anything. So if it's one message every 168hrs then I still recommend the rules being updated to specify that because, why not be direct & transparent?

If the expectation isn't that rigid & we can post two messages, let's say, 6days, 20.5hrs apart, then in my opinion you were wrong for deleting it & not allowing me to repost. I just want clarification so I can follow your rules.

Kind of you to finally leave the nasty comments at the end of your messages. I would personally prefer if it was clear from the way the ad is presented already, meaning it might as well be Monday to Monday but to make it clear you are aware of the requirement. The reply solution works the best in my opinion. And I have already told you nobody is going to check all time zone permutations and whether it's full 168 hours or not.

#

I was checking the ads, multiple violations popped up, and yours was among them. There's absolutely no need to exagarrate the issue as much you do at the moment.

fallow nymph
# shut minnow I was checking the ads, multiple violations popped up, and yours was among them....

I don't think I directed any nasty comments towards you. Sorry if you felt like I was. All I can say is that wasn't at all my intention.

I also don't think I'm exaggerating anything, only trying to understand what the rules are & why my advert was deleted + I'm being prohibited from reposting it today. So if it might as well be Monday to Monday, I was correct in posting as I was yes? My messages were 6days, 20.5hrs apart so even though the 168hrs won't be the deciding factor as you've said, I was still pretty dang close to it.

My messages being among the violations can only mean that I'm being moderated according to a timezone which is very different from my own, and the posted rules make no mention / give no warning of this. I will use the reply function as you've suggested to show that I'm being ever-mindful of the frequency rule, but other than that I don't really understand what I did wrong.

#

@shut minnow can I request that you have another mod tell me I won't be allowed to repost my advert today, if that is indeed how I'll be asked to move forward?

Monday postings are what works best for my schedule, and if I'm going to continue that I don't feel it's right for SIGYN to be subjected to a 3-week gap between adverts because of a simple misunderstanding that (hopefully) won't happen again.

We can keep this professional. I'm allowed to be confused & ask for clarification, especially when I'm being told different things by different mods.

My clan recruitment / comp team recruitment messages were wildly different. I actually use a different template for both as I'm too lazy & can't be bothered to typed it all out each time.

I'll ensure my messages in #clan-recruitment are 168hrs+ apart in the future & I will comply as best as I can with #tourneys-team-search. I only post there, at about the same frequency, to recruit for tourneys. That being our comp team. I understood that as an appropriate use for the channel. Thanks again for clarifying 👍

I think this is a spirit of the law vs the letter of the law situation. I thought 7 days meant 7 days, not 168 hours? So when I'm posting, I post on Fridays. I never paid attention to if it was 2PM or 7PM. I was trying to follow the rules of every 7 days. I thought the spirit of the rule was to keep people from posting over and over, not to regulate down to the minute? By End's own post, he was just over 3 hours off. Is this really worth all this dicusssion? Could we not just be happy that he was trying to follow the rules and got off by a few hours?

I'm a rule follower and can do the 168 hour thing in the future. If you guys are going to be that strict (which is fine), then maybe we could get the pinned rules adjusted to say 168 hours, so we don't make the mistake of thinking 3 hours isn't a problem. Being a mod is hard and thankless and I APPRECIATE you guys trying to keep the channel clean! But I thought it was 7 days, not 168 hours too and was trying to help, not exasterbate the situation.

You say it may as well be Monday to Monday, Mayo says 168hrs+. I'll err on the safe side & continue my posting next Monday with at least that gap between messages.

# brittle venture What is this channel for???

It's for clan leaders to discuss the issues we face like recruiting, retention, incentivizing, motivating, and keeping players active. How to best track our members, reduce drama, and other topics that clan leaders face every week. This channel's purpose is a place for posts which benefit all clan leaders and their clans.

gilded moat
#

My Suggestions to minimize Clan leaders struggle:

  • Improved clan search site
    Showing all clans with free spots, ranking after preferred characteristics (WR, Battles, Activity)
  • Player status
    Player Status (in rating, Garage, tournament, platoon) this should provide clanmates easier overview on the activities of each player to avoid long search
  • Improved player search
    I want to have fast access to potential clanmates, it is highly unlikely to meet fitting players in battle
  • More Clanspots (50+)
    having bigger communities would be a benefit for those who often search for platoonmates or tournament teams (access to more players)
  • Clan leader and deputy rewards
    ( can be anything ) which should reward, hard working volunteers in order to keep the Clan working and making everyone happy

And having a second person in the top level role. When a clan owner quits the game, dies, gets banned, or similar, a really good clan has to decide to run with a hole in that spot or to re-form a new clan. Re-forming means a new name, supply level I, etc. It's a pain and WG doesn't have a method for removing a commander. If there could be more than 1 commander, the remaining one could kick the lost one and the clan could continue without all the hassle. This would be an easy change.

Too bad we can't code up the clan improvements ourselves and donate them back to War Gaming for the benefit of all. I'm seeing some great ideas here. Unfortunately, improving the clan stuff doesn't attract new players, so I fear these requests will fall on deaf ears - they will put their dev resources on other topics. Still, there is always hope that they will see these useful requests and implement them.

Clans are the core of the game but are sometimes treated as afterthoughts. If we can agree on a core group of clan improvements, how can we get them in front of staff and actually get them to read the suggestions?

It depends on the kind of clan you want. You can set it to auto accept everyone or players with certain stats. Competition clans are going to be recruited differently. You can hand-pick new players by befriending people at lower tiers who are newer. There are many options. Be sure to put together a good advertisement with a clear message what your clan is about and post it at #clan-recruitment.

# distant oar do i put the discord server code or link?

I find the pinned rules on that confusing. Links are forbidden. Some guys do it by just listing the last letters of your invite. For me, I just say our discord link is in our clan description to avoid getting tangled in the confusing rule.

stray granite
# distant oar do i put the discord server code or link?

I posted this above, but I'll post again to save you from having to go find it:

**Either you as clan lead or a deputy needs to be almost constantly recruiting. ** You need to track your players performance and/or activity every week. The problem mostly stems from players who stop playing this game and don't bother to leave the clan, so you end up with tons of members who are no longer players. By tracking your players, you can start kicking the most inactive and replacing them with active players. There is a syndrome of "I don't want to join a clan that is inactive" and that's an uphill battle.

Depending on the kind of clan you're building, this may ore may not fit your clan. But one suggestion is for your recruiter(s) to play down low in the tier 1-5 arena. Look for players around the 1000-1500 mark with no clan. Why there? A player with 80 battles may quit next week. A player with 60,000 battles and no clan has probably been in a clan and just wants to play on their own. So find new players who have committed to the game and are willing to enjoy what the clan has to offer. Each week kick a few inactive and replace them. This recipe works for my clan and hopefully it will give you some ideas for yours.

distant oar
stray granite
#

Yes, that's the uphill battle, but you can overcome it with patience. Once you get some reliable members, promote some of them to help you and delegate responsibilities.

I haven't been through it myself. I'm only going from the horror stories from clan members who have been stuck in abandoned clans in the past. I also seem to recall a thread on the forum that concluded there was no way to reclaim one. There seems to be a complete lack of documentation on the subject. However, if they did allow a second clan lead, they could solve the problem right up front. Better for the clan and easier for WG support.

We went through a 6 month wait for support to act. Having an Executive Officer type who could do everything would have gotten us back in shape much quicker. Someone needs to be able change auto-recruiting and promote/demote to fill gaps, for example.

The danger is clan lead/ EO disagreements. Letting the clan lead demote the EO would solve that problem.

Yes and it would also cause some internal issues by adding a tertiary tier to clan structure, because there is no “co-lead” that’s possible in practice
It’s clan owner/lead

Rest of the deputies

#

... or 1 clan 3X as big with 3 divisions... type structure would fit a similar idea. 50 members per division. 2 divisions 100 members, 3 divisions 150 members. You don't really leave the clan, just move them from division to division as needed. I'm not stuck on this idea, it just popped into my head.

spring quiver
#

Or you could make it even simpler and clan size can increase to a maximum based on the Supply level
Such as +10 max members each level unlocked, to a max of 150 members total
You could also scale up clan missions to match

stray granite
#

I like that too. @gilded moat got a lot of r_cool for increasing clan size, above. On your idea, it would make it harder to start a new clan, BUT it would also encourage the clan members to push harder so they could expand.

"improving the clan stuff doesn't attract new players" - i think indeed it attracts new players. As you said at the end, clans are the core of the game. So i think if clans would offer much more features than just some few bonuses (especially clan missions where rewards didnt change since start of that feature...), people would be more interested in joining them and it will just add another interesting activity into game

Anyways i always been saying that clans in blitz are very limited and they could get much more improvements, wargaming could add like thousand of things into clans

stable sinew
# spring quiver Elaborate

It would be convenient if leadership communicated with each other to swap players, make alliances to form a central stronger team that we could trade clan to clan each season so we all get our custom clan logos for each clan, if we made a central training hub for all of the teams to work together in and train the comp player base collectively we would get better players, and there would be better relations between each clan, basically we all work together, we all get what we want, and we all hate each other a little less in the grand scheme of things

spring quiver
# stable sinew It would be convenient if leadership communicated with each other to swap player...

As it is, comp players regularly swap between clans to play/tryout for whatever team they like that season. Turnover is high in all of the “pro” clans and the result is ever changing teams, and more importantly…competitiveness. If we just coordinated every season and got 3 INSANELY good teams every time that’s almost like rigging. It kills the competition because any teams that’s not “part” of the organization is screwed out of rewards because they have no chance.
That’s just kind of ridiculous. As for training and all that, that’s cool. I remember Pramo doing something similar back in the day, though with little success overall. If you want to do better as a comp player then you need to start trying out for teams, even if they’re bad at first you’ll definitely improve and work your way up to better teams

Clan tags don’t matter, only the team you work with

#

Let’s say this did happen though

stable sinew

What would stop these “stronger” teams that are all associated with each other from purposely throwing and getting their associated teams and clans into the top of the bracket. It’s a slippery slope all around when it comes to organizing multiple comp teams

I agree to that, communication could be better. I have something of an idea for that, but it’s a little ambitious and I probably don’t have time for it.
I more or less already keep in contact with higher level clans best I can, which is why I’m on like 150 discord servers. Not everyone is easy to work with but I do try.

You would be proud to know the situation that went down with the top 3 of each region from the recent clan event. Truly remarkable how so many people who don’t all like each other can put aside their differences for a common goal, and it gave me some hope for future communication

stable sinew

# stable sinew It would be convenient if leadership communicated with each other to swap player...

good start for comp clans would be automatization of organizing trainings. Many times room hosters need to struggle with it because sometimes they will forget to swap sides, maps or even change type of battle to supremacy. While creating room, there should be an option like "Clan war mode" where you could pre-choose maps you want to play, and it will automatically swap every 2 battles on each side

#

Unfortunately I highly doubt it will even happen. More players prefer to "have fun" in training rooms, so for example if 1000 rooms per day would be for having fun, lets say only 100 of them will be clan war rooms so it's only 10% - Wargaming might not see enough interest In that to make it worthy of developing

Regardless I’m gonna create a server for the purpose of improving the NA comp experience and I would love input and assistance from all sides, if anyone interested lmk

sterile gazelle
# wary elk what do you think of an inactive clan being disbanded automatically after a year...

I don’t agree with that because some clans that were active for 4-5 years and died off are still known for that name. An example is FLEET. Drakeon was the original clan lead and they were typically a top 50 NA clan. He joined us at CRUEL for Clan Wars 5 and stayed for about a year and then decided he didn’t want to play anymore but retire back at FLEET and retire the clan.
He started the clan, grew the clan for many years and decided to retire there. No games have been played by the 3 retirees parked there. That was their wish so why should someone else be allowed to restart that clan without his permission?
Triarii also has a clan that people go to when they decide to stop. It’s inactive but do you think someone should be able to pick up that clan name?

# distant oar do i put the discord server code or link?

To avoid Discord link spam & ongoing promotion, live links to Discord servers are not allowed on WOTB ENG Official.

( this is both to help stop scam Discord servers that steal accounts, have nothing to do with WOTB, etc ... and clan discord servers or personal discord servers, where somebody comes on and puts their link in every channel )

So, for the #clan-recruitment channel, it is suggested that clan leaders and recruiters can share their Discord server code.

If a full invite link is: https :// discord.gg / LeTTeRS ( without spaces ) - - > just mention the " LeTTeRS " part and/or ask for Direct Message.

Or you can have your Discord full link in your Discord Profile page as well.

Thank you very much for taking the time to update the pinned rules in the interest of clarity!

So if I may clarify further - according to the verbiage regarding the 7day wait between messages, you only need to ensure they're a calendar week apart? For example I can post an advert on 11am ET Monday, then the following Monday a couple hours earlier at maybe 8am ET?

I'd recently been instructed to wait a complete 168+ hours between messages, but that's a bit unrealistic / unreasonable in my opinion as it forces us to post later & later into the day if we want to maintain the same post schedule.

I know that was something that came up, but the original intent was just make it once a week.
And where the 7 days apart thing came in, is to prevent people from saying well today I post on Friday, and Monday ( or Sunday depending on where you live ) starts a new week, so I will post again on Monday or whatever; because it is a new calendar week.
So, if you typically post on Wednesdays let's say; I personally don't think there should be a worry about whether that is Wednesday morning one week, Wednesday afternoon another week, then Wednesday morning again ... based on a person's schedule, work, school, ...
The intent is that there is a span of 7 days, to prevent spamming, keeping it fair for all clans to get their advert in.

# quick oxide I know that was something that came up, but the original intent was just make it...

100% reasonable. Thank you.

Now one last thing - I had adverts deleted because I posted an advert late one Monday evening which was Tuesday morning for a different mod, thus making it appear like my messages were sent 6days apart instead of 7. But for me, I did my usual thing & posted on Monday then waited to next Monday.

Despite my dissatisfaction with that entire situation, I'll acknowledge a good recommendation was made by a mod to reply to your previous advert to show you're being mindful of the "wait rule". I'll continue to do that in the future, and I'll also include my local timezone in each message so mods can look it up & see that a late Monday post is still Monday for me & indeed 7 days apart.

All that said, could I humbly make 2 requests?

  • Ensure all mods are on the same page when it comes to enforcing #clan-recruitment.
  • Ask that mods are mindful when enforcing the 7day rule as their local timezone may be drastically different from others. I personally think it's a good idea for advertisers to include their timezone in the message so mods can double check that for them it was indeed 7days apart.

Hi @celest bison thanks for the heads up:
Starting September 26 (07:00 UTC), clans and tournaments will be temporarily unavailable due to technical maintenance until the release of the Season 2: Constellation update (September 27).

Can you tell us if we will have clan chat and can we work on clan missions during this period?

Wow! Okay, thank you.

We track player performance and we use honors contributed and platoons as 2 of our metrics. The only place I know to get that info is in the Clan Leaderboard. Some of the backgrounds you cannot read the scores. I wish they would do something about this so we can read the results. So how many honors and platoons did this guy do? I literally have to get a loupe and put it in front of the display to try to figure it out. 🔍
(I read it as 94 and 23, but am not positive)

#

This update had unforseen consequences and they should make it right . Simply because we were never warned we could loose these nor to claim them before the update. All they said was it would be unavailable to access on Tuesday.

noble yew
#

I think we should get the keys and/or rewards from completed levels but we might not get exactly that. WG has backups from yesterday but going through hundreds of thousands of accounts can’t be a trivial task. Giving everyone the rewards or keys for some clan levels would be something I’d like all my clanmates to get.

stray granite
fallow nymph
#

Why not just grant every Clan the max rewards they earned for the previous week & call it a day? Further issues occurring beyond today aren't our fault, but giving the typical rewards that most active Clans earn already shouldn't be any skin off WG's back & would erase any harm Clans might be subject to otherwise.

Obviously I'm biased as a Clan participant, but on both sides I think it'd be fair enough. Any thoughts?

2-3 days worth of points (max daily mission points that can be earned X number of days X number of members) should be given imo (to not lose activity till the next weekly refresh)

The clan point problem is ongoing. I completed 7 already, but now it says I've completed only 2/7. Also, you can clearly see I've completed my 16 point weekly, but the leaderboard says I only have 8 points. AND it says 0 platoons where I've done dozens this week. It's just so messed up. 😖

fallow nymph
# stray granite The clan point problem is ongoing. I completed 7 already, but now it says I've ...

I'm fine with understanding if WG is experiencing unforseen issues. They should be allowed time to sort things out, but my members also deserve the rewards they were going to earn anyway. The same goes for any other Clan.

It's already Thursday & if this doesn't get resolved tomorrow, I'm pretty sure that means it'll have to wait until next week. I still recommend WG grants every Clan their previous last week's max rewards so there's no punishment for an update us players aren't responsible for. Pardon the ping @quick oxide but could you weigh in on this issue, and if you're in agreement with this proposed idea could you possibly open up a dialogue with WG on our behalf?

We track clan member activity/performance and the primary part of that is the 3 columns of the leaderboard. With the resets in missions and honors it just made tracking impossible and the entire clan would have suffered an unearned drop in their stats. To be fair, we only entered new numbers for 4 clan members who did better this week than their weighted averages. For the other 46, we did not enter new numbers and let their old numbers ride.

empty pilot
#

+1 Yeah, i couldn't kick anyone this week thanks to that "nonsense". We use 2 activity stats (weekly and 3-week) to determine who to kick but thanks to wg this week data doesn't show us anything. So we can only note down the results to use in 3-weeks activity check.

spring quiver
#

Had a new member get randomly kicked today and none of the deputies committed the act…very interesting bug

stray granite
#

A few weeks ago clan leaders were making useful, thoughtful suggestions on clan improvements like

  • clan families
  • clan size set to 150
  • improved player tracking/metrics
  • more granular clan leadership roles (multi-owners, recruiters, etc)
    Fast forward to today. Now we simply hope they can get clans back to working like they were a couple weeks ago. 😬
echo gulch
#

i see value in the latter two, but the first two quite hesitant

#

increasing clan size would only decrease the # of active clans (which for the NA server, there aren't even enough as is), and make it much harder to manage members

#

the biggest thing i'd like to see added is an indicator to show if a clan member was in a platoon

stray granite
echo gulch
#

i should clarify, a live indicator

stray granite
#

OOHHHH, yes, a platoon indicator. VERY MUCH NEEDED! I was speaking of clan data.

echo gulch
#

it would save a lot of invite spam lol

stray granite
#

Everyone wants to platoon with the clan leader. I can't imagine what it's like in your position.

empty pilot
#

Or at least "open to platoon" or "not open to toon" indicator. Due to limited playtime etc sometimes player wants to play alone but see tons of messages and/or invites just because he/she is online.

echo gulch
#

true, the ability to opt in or out would be good to include

fallow nymph
#

Our discord server has a dedicated channel meant to find toon partners. It's somewhat effective, but many don't have the discord open while they play so they may not see it. Our Clan chat is basically only used for the same purpose in-game, but I've often thought how useful it would be if WG installed their own system.

Here's my idea, some of it borrowed from suggestions made here. When you're on blitz, you have the option to send out a "toon request". This will appear as a Clan notification for everyone else, maybe as an extension to the platoon button. If you log off, that toon request is deleted. Once you toon up, the request is deleted. This way, as you play the game this kind of system should hopefully show a current roster of who's online & would like a toon partner. And of course, pairing all this with an "In Platoon" indicator for Clan members should help alot with invite spam as has been mentioned.

Maybe with the request you can choose from pre-defined options such as gamemode, preferred tiers & a short comment box to put what tanks you'd like to use etc. It still wouldn't be perfect, but I think a dedicated in-game system of any kind would be an improvement over what we currently have.

My clan has almost finished all clan missions and now we are back at 7th stage. How are we supposed to finish them now when some players are not able to play during weekend? Compensation of 20 points to few inactive guys is not solution when there are over 1k points deleted at end of week. 60 points compansation is far less than 1k points that we already had in difference. Talking about -DWF- on EU server. Personally, I had 68 points and now only 24 and will not be able anymore to collect rewards since now its shows only 3 missions done.

I’m kind of looking to begin a symbiotic relationship with a larger NA clan, someone who has more stringent requirements. Right now I’m a very noob friendly clan, I built a place for new players to hopefully learn the basics and improve enough to join better clans. I guess I am looking for some sort of feeder arrangement, I’d provide potential recruits and a place to practice, but I do need help with mentoring as I’m only one person.

I would like to remind you that there are only members in the clan xd, I sent two screenshots, the first one when I had a commander on my second account but it showed that I had a deputy commander, and the second one after some time where there are only clan members, so, with who i can contact about this problem? because i want my clan back

It has been 5 weeks and 3 days since our last game-status-update about the clan database. No official word, but mostly things seem to be working. I had one clan member show me screen shots of how his personal weekly missions got reset llate last week (not clan missions). His 300 crate showed 0 progress for instance after he had completed numerous personal missions.

Onboarding and kicking seem to be working reliably for us now. Is everyone else still having clan mission/management problems or do we think we are we finally past it?

noble yew
#

No clan functions problems recently. I haven’t had to kick anyone though.

The mission reset bug has been around for quite a while. A clan member had it last week. It almost seems random, I can’t see a pattern in who or when it shows up. You can avoid it by finishing by Saturday but that’s not always possible.

@stray granite we still seam to have the problem where players can't join the clan, without being specifically invited. I have been changing up recruitment settings regularly, including "no requirements", but still haven't noticed a single player joining without an invite, since that update. It could just be, that my clan doesn't show up at the top, when players are searching a clan. Dunno. Before the update, it usually only took a few hours, from kicking members, before we were 50/50 again.

I see. Creating a clan requires time and patience.
Once upon a time in wotb, with a few platoon mates / wotb friends; we joined a large and like minded clan, so we ourselves did not have to reinvent the wheel ... and then try to get to 50 members, while in a way competing with larger known clans that had a lot of appeal.

For your clan Discord servers, you may not need an anti-cussing bot, but I do. I found and am using Censor Bot (in case URLs aren't okay here it's https censor dot bot). I find it superior to the built-in, Carl, Dyno, and many others I tried. Super easy to use, setup, and it's free.

When someone promoted to become a deputy or demoted to private game send notifications to all the members I guess. Did your leader demote one of the deputies? Do you know that? (I promoted a member to deputy leader on November 20th. I received a message from another member saying "I received a notification that I am a deputy but I do not have a role right now." Maybe these two errors are linked. So the notifications are send to "every single member" right now, not just the related member.)

fallow nymph

fallow nymph
# crimson condor I see... that would require too much effort then

I think WG doesn't want us advertising raffle-type stuff or sign on bonuses mainly. In my opinion, there shouldn't be anything wrong with a reward bought directly through WG's store, which is also gifted based off game activity.

From a business perspective it seems like a net positive for the game. The company gets paid, and our players are likely to play the game a bit more with the added incentive. Win-win. But alas, their rules are clear about it & we can't advertise rewards such as this.

crimson condor
fallow nymph
# crimson condor Exactly... I would never engage with transactions outside of the game, a gift vi...

Absolutely! We host competition within our Clan regularly, whether it be 7v7 scrims, countdowns or even a 3v3 tourney which we did for the first time last week. We had 4 teams & built a simple bracket; it was a blast!

One of our guys gifted the winning trio a bit of gold. That kind of stuff is great for morale as far as I'm concerned. So even though we can't advertise stuff like that, you can still surprise your people with it & they'll usually be appreciative 👍

quick oxide
#

Some of the problems with clan ads with joining incentives and what not; is that there is no way to verify it, some of it would depend on real life info, and often there’s drama surrounding it when promises are not kept … And, some ads have just been blatant pay to join & play type stuff; which looks like a train wreck waiting to happen and just does not jive with the spirit of clan recruiting.

fallow nymph
# quick oxide Some of the problems with clan ads with joining incentives and what not; is that...

I can understand that kind of concern. I wish I could advertise our monthly giveaway for high mission point contributors, but at the same time I don't want players to join us only in the hopes they might get a bit of gold every now & then. I prefer our community to stand on it's own merits so I don't really mind not being able to advertise that part when I think about it.

The reality is most of those offers are probably not kept lol, so I think from a management standpoint that's a smart rule you guys came up with - even if some recruiters feel like it's a pointless limitation.

quick oxide
#

Thanks for understanding 🙂

wary elk
# wary elk what do you think of an inactive clan being disbanded automatically after a year...

we need some kind of automated system where inactive clan should be disbanded after a year or if clan lead were offline for more than 3-6 months the leadership can be taken by a deputy.
and also a way to moderate clan chat(this way it might also be a way to bring back public chat, now with moderators)
also wg should bring back a list of clan contributors to the clan supply like before even after they left.

btw when will the notification bug be fixed? as in when promoting/demoting/transferring ownership to someone will send the notification to all members

now even after joining a different clan the person is still on the clan chat list(can't screenshot it atm since I'm not in that clan(PRET))

I’ve no idea about a similar site for Tanks Blitz but you could always ask him for the username and where you could see those stats.

There’s also an old and a new “RU’ server. If he was playing on the old “RU/CIS” server and transferred his account to the EU server BlitzStars should have the stats for that account.

Give it some time 🙂

orchid knoll
# quick oxide The 50 member clan limit has been a pain from the start for large clans; causing...

Here's just a little snippet of how our family works.

Regarding clan limits and management, our clan family prefers smaller groups. We have a functional system where new members will start in my clan, BWING. If they have comp experience at tier 10/8 or have good enough stats to join one of our higher clans, they will be taken by the leads of the respective clan. Otherwise, they stay with me. Promotions are handled based on 30-day BS stats (you have the stats to move to the next clan = promotion).

Activity is managed in one of 2 ways: members are active in completing clan missions (we require a minimum of 40 points weekly) or participate in tournaments (easy to check since it shows up on their profile). Additionally, we require a minimum of 40 battles on every member's 30-day BS stats. Short-term inactivity is allowed so long as a member pings their lead about it first. Long-term inactivity means that they leave the clan and move to one we have designated for holding purposes. People who don't meet these activity reqs are first warned and given 1-2 weeks (depending on their history of activity) to meet the reqs, then they are kicked if they fail to complete them.

The hardest thing to work within a successful clan family is leadership. Ideally, all of the leads and deputies of a family should be enthusiastic about improving the clan. Our current lineup of leadership has 3 layers:

  1. Council (led by the Chief of State). They make blanket decisions about the whole clan family family. To be a council, you have to be a long-standing family member, a clan lead, recognized for your hard work and dedication, and have your promotion approved by the rest of the council/CoS.
  2. Leads: Clan leads to implement the council's decisions according to their clan's requirements but have more direct control over what happens within a clan. For example, we require all members to meet a certain number of career battles to be in some of the clans. However, our t10 comp clan XWING has an exception made by the lead for people with t10 comp experience or top 16 experience.
  3. Deputies: enforce the rules and assist clan leads.

The council and leads are the people who have the strictest requirements. Without good leaders, even top clans will fall apart. That is why, in addition to needing a long history with the RA, we only allow people under 18 or who have a restrictive schedule to lead. We have found that one or both factors have led to previous clan failure.

Finally, experiment, make mistakes, fix problems, and keep moving forward. Your clan/clan family will grow as you become more adept at leading, calling tournaments, recruiting, hosting events, etc.

@orchid knoll @hollow sail I know y'all were talking about this. I can DM you the server link to my clan family's discord so y'all can see a little bit of our structure.

I say better clans makes for a happier player base where people want to come back and play with their friends instead of moving on to the next game. Unfortunately, WG won't listen to us and seems to treat clans like an afterthought.

There have been so many great ideas in this channel about improving clans, there are just too many to mention. Just a few off the top of my head:

  • The ability to mute a player in clan chat
  • The ability to delete toxic, problematic, or drama causing messages from clan chat
  • The creation of clan families where leaders can move players from area A to B or C
  • The ability to view or retrieve player (clan related) performance data in game instead of having to type every line on Monday into a spreadsheet or database by hand and figure it out yourself
  • More granular clan roles like recruiter and moderator for example
  • The ability to have more than one clan owner or at least a backup owner in case the commander leaves the game, gets banned, dies in real life…
  • A tier 9+ clan camo selection just like the owner selects the clan icon. This way clan members can choose to wear their clan’s colors to show pride and membership in their 9+ clan.
    ...the list goes on and on and have been requested many times before.

Most of these would be easy to implement and some would likely end up increasing playership if we could just get them to listen to us.

Only extra work on the front-end of things, but once the system is in place it should be significantly easier to moderate. You'd only have to manage 300 people posting for 150 Clans for example, versus thousands having all-time access to use the channel.

It's moderation / rule-enforcement is rather specific & many will simply never understand how it works, so I think limiting the amount of users would help significantly.

I think the idea of muting a toxic member depends on where the chat activity occurs. My clan family almost exclusively uses discord, it a lot more convenient that way.

Good morning and thanks for the reply! There was a post that was a clan recruitment.
I had it saved as a link and now it's gone- there's no reason it would have been deleted and I recall several members had reacted it to it, so it seems odd that it's not there any more.
