Clan Structure Question

[Netharon]

If Donegali, or a Dev may know the answer to this, it would be much appreciated.

Why is "recruiter" Rank 3? It makes no sense. Line officers and commissioned officers cannot start clan battle divisions, so we basically need a clan with a bunch of "recruiters" that don't actually do any recruiting, they only have that title because they need it to start CB divisions.

Line officer and commissioned officer don't do anything different than midshipman by permissions. The game does not allow us to change permission settings, or rename ranks ourselves as a work-around. Tanks and Warplanes got much better treatment in this department.

We want to have 1 commander, 2 EO's, and the line / commissioned officers are promotions based on attendance, skill, initiative, and tenure. We cannot do this with the restricted preset options available.

Recruiter shouldn't even be an officer-like position, but it is - because its position 3 at the top with a star on the anchor, and they have clan battle division permissions instead of officers.

The best fix is to simply allow clans to name their own ranks, and let us set our own permissions by checkbox for each of the ranks.


On a side note - when clicking clan preferences to set the days we are active or do clan battles, the options to check or uncheck are as follows: Sunday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, Saturday. Days are missing, and some days are listed more than once.
Clans need some love.

Is this on the low priority list? I know it's been brought up several times in the past on the WG forum. Anyone know?

Sorry, cant help on this one, have no involvement in clans other than being a member. Banzai might be able to shed some light on it.

Thanks. Hopefully he notices the thread.

Would dearly love to be able to make your own ranks and choose permissions for them as it is a little restrictive as it is.

Ran into the issue a while ago when there were enough people online to play a clan battle but myself and others who could setup a division for it were not about. Ended up making a load of people recruiters to avoid the same problem happening again, but not ideal.

Regarding the schedule thing, if you have a look at the calendar it should show 4 timeslots available per day (Asia, RU, EU, US) with no clan battles on Monday/Tuesday. Obviously with timezones this means that some timeslots will appear to be on a different day - for example Saturdays clan battles started at 11.30 CET in Asia and will end Sunday morning at 0430 CET in US.

Thanks for the response, and the confirmation we are not crazy. Hopefully they do something about it and at least make it like warplanes or tanks.
