Alliance Ranking Updates

[Mathlord]

I'm sure it has been mentioned many times before, but it would be great if we could go back to updating the alliance rankings daily. At this point they only update when someone joins or leaves an alliance or someone comes on/off vacation mode. If alliances are active and not recruiting, that means their power can stay the same for quite a long time no matter the changes in the alliance.

If this is done once a day, I can't imagine it would lag the server too much more than it already lags each turn change.

how often dose it update then?

[Mathlord]

It doesn't update usually. Unless an alliance's membership changes, the alliance power listed doesn't change at all.

[duncan]

so even when members are massed and they no longer have there orginal power the allience stat stays the same even thou they drop

your right that sucks big style

Remember its not about what makes the game better, but what makes the admin more cash.

[Mathlord]

But that wouldn't apply at all here. Alliance rankings don't impact selling or buying rates, unless certain people like to see their names at the top of the rankings more often

How about let's say if a member goes to vacation it changes too? (and not change daily)
Oh and alliances at war get it updated daily.

[Mathlord]

But if noone declares war in-game (as it is now), then things will never update. They do update right now when people go on vac mode, but again if you have a group of people that don't go on vac mode or add or remove personnel, things never change. You can reduce an alliance from 300 trill alliance power to 50 trill and it would show as the same.

Just would be interesting to see things updated more frequently is all.

[Mathlord]

Yeah I'm going to bump this as it is important imo. It won't require a ton of additional coding or game lag if done just once a day, and make the alliance rankings a little bit more relevent again.

Did admin not post once the reason for them not updating,

Also you are correct about the no one declaring war, and they dont because of the nox, maybe instead of voiding it completely, if someone declares war and the person returns it, the nox hits should be doubled, that way you will eventually phase out, but people will actually declare war on each other.

I think changing daily would be good...

Hope no lagg when it changes lol, i already have lagg every turn

[Mathlord]

But that's the point, we already get a minute of lag on the turn change, how much more could you get lol?

[Mathlord]

Bump, forget the vac mode part as that does squat to alliance power (thought it updated it but oh well, just further proves the point we need this updated regularly)

[FEARLESS]

C'mon, this needs to be updated.

[~Odin~]

im 100% for this....
it will make alliance rankings more interesting...
Instead of just seeing the same stuff in the rankings...
You have people building massive AC's then getting someone to join then untrain when there in...then they dont recruit so they stay there when they should be lower.
