From the post on the new AW match making system placement phase should end at 11 am PST, but our timer shows placement ending around 7:15 am PST. Am I missing something? Is this a bug?
The new war system is flawed, the AW war placement is ending VERY early than when the placement started. Causing many alliances to have war during middle of the work day. The old system was fine and alliances used the system to "NOT" match and blame Kabam for not being able to match. @Kabam Miike
This is what im telling everyone, its useless this system, it only benefits kabam and the few % who are lucky the placements starts around when they want it, for the rest off us we could be at work or sleeping when it starts!! All kabam care about is kabam and not us... nothing wrong with the previous method nothing...
Ours is scheduled to start in an hour, very early. It seems like the timer for when attack phase begins started right when a match was found rather than at the end of enlistment.
I'm confused why there aren't set times like AQ for attack phase. I thought that was how it would work from now on and enlist would match teams within the time frame. Maybe I read it wrong but it would be better if it worked that way. Not sure if it is possible.
@Kabam Miike we need a cross check here. Our alliance had a very short placement phase.. like 12h total! We are starting attack phase 4 ish hours ahead!
Yea I agree, being able to start war at a time that made sense for your alliance was a key strategy for 100% map exploration and least amount of impact on personal lives. We are gold 1 close to plat 3 all of us have full time jobs and kids so it makes a big difference.
ours will start in about 15 mins which is horrible because most of us are in the middle of our workday and will be for another 4-5 hours, resulting in the loss of moves...this is a terrible design...
clearly someones getting overpaid sat behind the computer right? Well there Wrong! Its shocking, ive had many people complain, if it benefits the west the people in the east will loose, if it benefits the people in the east the west will loose the war.
It wont be down to KOs it will be down to not enough energy to even complete the AW! Shocking truely shocking. What was wrong with the previous one? Albiet the 'war rating' issue which in fair was always 50/50
Because Kabam are known for their top quality competence. Sat here starting attack a t 3pm gmt when 20 out of are 30 are unable. So much for set times. Guess its the off season at least so they can work their s out.
Yeah what the heck is happening. We couldn't start placing defenders until later than normal and now attack phase just started way early. We barely got everyone in and didn't get one of our map defenses set correctly. 8:44am PST start time for war is terrible for our alliance.
You still have 24 hours to attack. Maybe you don't attack until 6 hours after it starts now if you live in Indonesia or something, but maybe before you were just finishing early?
I do think it will be a bit more difficult for alliances that are largely international, but that's always been a coordination struggle anyways.
Apologies for the confusion. How the matchmaking system works is that everyone enters the matchmaking phase at the same time, but throughout the matchmaking period, once your Alliance has found a match, the Defense phase of the war will begin and the Attack phase will begin 20 hours later.

Anybody else with this issue?
Please go back to old system when we can choose when we start, this new system is worse for most alliances!
there point will be we just have to adapt and place sooner!! which let's be honest it's not always practical for everyone but they don't care.
