The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
Alliance Leader Function Improvements

To help better organize alliances and prevent headaches, I think there are some fairly simple changes that would make an exponential improvement.
1. Allow alliance leaders to open/close battle groups prior to starting AQ.
Meaning, if you have only 24 members, then you may want to run AQ on a first come first served basis by closing BG3 altogether and allowing the first 20 members to join BGs 1 and 2 while the remaining 4 just sit out keeping your alliance from losing points when some numb skull joins BG3 trying to solo it.
2. Allow leaders to assign BGs to members.
A leader could simply click on a member within the alliance and then click on a button marked "Assign Battle Group" on which a drop down menu would appear, or a new page depending on how the Devs would prefer. It would say BG 1, BG 2, BG 3 or in the case of a new page, it would show all members currently assigned to BGs and let you drag and drop accordingly. By assigning a member to a bg it would then only let that member join that specific battlegroup. You could do this for war AND quest.
As a follow up to assigning someone to a battlegroup, each member currently in that specific battlegroup would get an in game message letting them know who was recently assigned to their battlegroup and who else is currently in that battlegroup with them
I would personally LOVE both these features! Thoughts? Improvements? Tweaks?

@Balm82 while I understand where you're coming from with this suggestion, I think you'd have to remove all their champions or none of them, not pick and choose.
Alternatively, if my above suggestions were implemented, perhaps a way of controlling this would be to assign that member to "no battlegroup". Thus, during the next war, they wouldn't be able to join, causing them to message you and be like "wtf why can't I join?" and now you get a chance to respond saying "last time you added duplicate champions as defenders. I'll unlock BG2 for you if you assign no duplicates."
