working on 7v7 as an official "Pro" format though, with the E3
Invitational being the test of how that works.

Subject: WAY TOO MANY CLANS LET GET INTO CLAN WARS
Link on message: #1935065
KeyserSoze1, on May 21 2012 - 20:08, said: There are tons of little clans trying to recruit like crazy for a very few people.
If your clan is got very few active players and your wanting to do clan wars it makes more sense to Merge with some of the larger clans.
Heck I know right now I could clear my roles of chip holders and take 30 plus easy.
So even if you dont want to come over to RPM thats fine but find some smaller clans and merge with them to make a real 100 member clan and lets get some more of you on the map.
If your not doing clan wars after awhile you start to lose players to other clans so it makes more sense to join forces.

Tanitha: You only need 15 players to go storming through another clan's
land. Ask MLP they did it back in the day.
Holding land is another thing, but again MLP did that with good diplomacy, backed up with some threats : )
Their actions on the battle field soon had a swarm of new recruits on their doorsteps that they could pick from.
Then it wasn't long before they had the players to hold most of the land they took from the top clans and alliances.
In short, you don't need a 100 player clan for clan-wars.

Tan.

Tanitha: The fact that you cant buy your way to victory, is something most
people would say is a good thing.
Gold is meant to make the game easier to level up, not turn the tide of a battle.
For example the premium you bought will make the leveling much faster and save you a lot of time.
As said above, platooning with a artillery will drag you into higher battles.
There is a matchmaking chart in the official matchmaker thread which will better show you this.

limits, etc.) but you guys can always leave feedback on which team
sizes you've preferred so far.

its a good idea, but remember that to fight at E3, teams need to be aviable at a given time, and that willbe maybe diferent from current events because of the E3 exibition battles schedule. so isnt team perforance the only status that is required i think

GeneralDirection: I don't necessarily agree with this being an issue. It would be if
the IS-4 had been removed from the game, but it's still there. So
you kept the IS-4 with similar gameplay to its tier 9 version, and
also received a new tier 9 tank for free.

What I want is a very simple option that you can select so matchmaking will only put you in games where there is no arty that youll have to deal with. I do not see this as an unreasonable request and from what I have gathered it would make many players very, very happy. Including me.
