New war format stinks from an officer perspective

1. I can’t see who has place without going to the map itself. Before you could see in the BG member list who had placed.
2. When you look at the map the names are covered and you have zoom in to see who from the alliance place on that node.
3. It’s so so hard to get everyone to participate on a regular basis and this format is only good if everyone attcacks.

When you go to map itself (from in defense setup) I think you will see “joined, but not placed” defenders WITHOUT any # next to them (blank number, like previously)

But I think if you just look at defense roster list without going into map, you can still tell because I think it shows a “-1” for a node number (instead of blank node number). But the -1 still tells you they haven’t been put onto a node yet.
(*fyi, that's how everyone's initial placements looked, all with -1, when the change first happened.

During matchmaking for each individual war, game randomly would put them onto a node, but that is not permanent.
