Compareable to full assault, the factions are no longer locked 100% during WD-Battles.
I noticed, as a freeloader was given access to the team during WD accidently by an officer. But it is not possible to get him off again :-( I canīt kick him out.
Gree does not correct our mistake and says the player has to stay inside till the end of battle - Thanks Gree!
And you can swop the status from officer to member and vice versa.
Mistake was accepting him, and it is nice to promote and demote.
Sure it was, i am telling you to avoid moreQuote:

GREE we want answers! This is a serious problem as to why you never told us anything about this!
If people can join a faction during WD now, then as Leader I need to be able to kick members during war too. This is crazy, Gree, make up your mind, and maybe, just maybe, consider letting us know when you're going to change something like this!!! If they can get in, we should be able to kick too. :mad:
You let him in by mistake, but it was an officer YOU appointed who did it. Don't blame Gree for your mistake.
And kicking during WD has been covered exhaustively. In NO way should this ever be allowed to happen, of back and read the discussions on this topic.
I can see why Gree won't let leaders boot people from factions during war.... That would be a valuable tool to remove current targets and ponies for the opposition. IMO, I don't think leaders should be allowed to boot people during battle.
HOWEVER, I do think it would be interesting to experiment with letting leaders boot people during wd, but as long as the faction is not currently in a battle. Would be a simple logic statement, no?
If faction at war, then lock faction
Else, unlock faction
read my post, i am not whining and blaming gree for our mistake. only thing i accuse gree for: they did not inform about this serious change.Quote:

i am not talking about being able to dismiss players during the war in general. a team should be formed before the battle and go through it and freeloaders allready recognized. but someone wanted to show another person, that entering a faction during the battles is NOT possible. but it suddenly was! bad surpriseQuote:

Say someone expended an entire vault of gold in a top 150, but the leader decided that the person was 2k WD points short of what he expected. If the leader boots, that is a massive loss to the player who gave a vault to the faction, and he just lost an investment of real money. There is top much risk for abuse to allow kicking players during WD. If you pick up a freeloader, oh well. You kick him, then place him on the international blacklist (not found on this forum of course).Quote:

Seems to me as it is the way as it has been during the full assault event.
Maybe you should have a meeting, talking about the importance of public relations. I mean you admins are Greeīs mouth (and ears). CJ promised better communications with us. But who could you do, if the devs are not informing you?
If you leave a faction during WD, can you rejoin the same faction during the same WD event with the same account?
if this is full assault rules the only people who can join must already be outside ANY faction when wd starts....they could then join during event...once inside faction they are locked in....but again we were not told that this change was implementedQuote:

I think gree should a system for requirement wd points for example.
B4 the war event start, the leader can a set a requirement of wd points every players need to scores during the war, n lead everyone knows about the requirement. Once the war start, the requirement can't b change. If the players meet the requirement wd points for the war, then, the leader can't kick him/her out of the faction during the war event. If the players don't meet the requirement, then , the leader has the right to kick them out.
Simple n easy right. U can kick out the freeloader n can't kick players that meet the requirement wd
This is messed up. No players should be able to enter the faction after the WD started. On the 6th war we had a new player added to our faction. He was not in the waiting room before the WD and non one in my faction let him in. Now he's the weakest link in our faction racking up 7000+ losses and counting. Basically sabotaging our WD event.
These glitches have become the norm and a joke. I am truly disappointed in the developers ability to put out a quality product. Mistakes happen but should not be the norm for every event. If they worked for my company i would have fired all of them by now.
Unless you are the leader and have no officers.. this isn't the case. Sounds like you have an officer to root out and dismiss. Pretty sure both belong to one person.
I would never want anyone to have boot ability during WD. Already had to recently deal with a Prozac leader (not VFF - even though I was there to help) who kept booting people on a whim just in regular play AND several times have seen people join to help win a goal and get booted by a trigger happy leader 13 seconds after the event - before prizes were awarded - and then the mess of asking agree to fix afterwards is a nightmare.
On the slacker joining mod-stream - he isn't the problem - he was probably just a hopeful - the problem is the one who accepted him to begin with - probably the mini of an existing officer (just a guess).
good luck :)

an easy fix for "who let PLAYER Y in" = AUTOPOST
remember when they added autopost for donations... it cluttered up the in-game forum but most teams use a third party chat app anyway...
"Player z donated 10 blocks"
"Player x let player y in"
"Player wtf has declared war"
it would need to be a "locked autopost" so it can't be deleted...
Did anybody notice what happened to WD points when someone left. It used to be that if you left all points that you had contributed were wiped out. Is that still the case?
Here's what happened: Our developers have changed the way factions function during World Domination. It is now the same as Full Assault. If you are in a faction at the start of the event, you may leave the faction, but you cannot join another faction. If you are not in a faction at the start of the event, you may join a faction. Players must be approved in order to join a faction. Apologies that this change was not communicated prior to the start of the event.

Not every single change has to be listed but some general idea of what is being changed (instead of the once in a blue moon posts you guys are doing now). When the development team is working on changes or updates to the game / system, they will already have this info so posting it here is not that hard of a problem.
Is this still the current case? We had a buddy wishing to hop ship as dirty as it is yes during wd as a lack of team expectations pre wd.
I had saw this and made mention of it but didn't want to risk it. Are we still able to leave or join a faction in wd

you can join a faction if you havenīt been in one. but you cannot hop. once you leave a faction during wd, you cannot join another teamQuote:

I left came back left again came back then got locked in might have because it was the same faction??
whats the freeloaders name and lvl?
Do you guys actually talk to each other? I was in a faction at the start of WD, left and joined another faction at their request. I lost my points and individual war points (had to start all over) but you CAN be in a faction when it starts, LEAVE and JOIN another faction.Quote:

Until the developers gets a boot up their back sides and starts communicating the correct information, you will always see a laid back approach to communication coming forward. My view now is not to trust a dang thing that comes from GREE period. The information that they release isn't 100% accurate and also they don't notify anyone about changes unless a stink is brought up in the forums!
I am an officer on my faction, after being told from this thread it wasn't possible, I still heard in game it was.Quote:

Maybe being officer rank in a faction has some bearing on leaving and joining, just a thought cause that's all I can see as being diff in my case.
I know for a fact that one of the players who joined my faction was an Officer in the previous faction. I'm still at a loss on this one.Quote:

I guess the trick is, you should leave and be accepted at a time when the faction is not at war and hasn't declared yet. Try that next time. It sure worked for me.
