I agree that a poor mechanic that is not used should be changed.
But I would also say that inclusion should be preferred, having a company control the ins and out only promote exclusivity. Lucky for me, I am no were near wanting to join the Lag War. But I can see that unguilded wanting to try it out might get turned off if they cannot find a competitive company that will take them.
The real issue now is we slot in 50 of our guys, and maybe 2-3 are logged off, it slots in 3 randoms, they’re hyped, they’re ready to play. We notice “hey, who the F are those dudes that are like lvl 30?” we remove them from war and replace them.
Now, a player was erroneously added at random, believed they were going to get to do something, then get denied at the last minute. They get mad, I’ve seen people send profanity-laced messages in response to this because they got kicked. Had they signed up and simply not gotten picked, it would have gone over a lot better. They basically are not going to get into the war either way, its just adding salt to the wound when it says “you were removed from the war roster” after they’ve already teleported and gotten ready.
I agree as well. We have had people get as far as joining the war discord because they were autofilled and hearing the pain and dejection in their voice when they find out that they weren’t actually invited and wouldn’t be participating is heartbreaking.
I was really confused onto why this feature still existed anymore. It’s so outdated and it was a band-aid fix to begin with in alpha.
That war slider for auto fill (ON OFF) needs to get fixed or actually function… Agree with OP too many people get upset about making into a war to only be kicked…
The issue there, is the random players have nothing to lose if they lose a war. So getting random people who do not work with you has a negative impact on the time, effort, and gold a company has spend.
Companies holding a territory want to keep it, and having lack of communications is an issue.
I was in alpha and the auto fill force, when added, was specifically stated to be a temporary fix until something else was implemented. once the 10% requirement was added, there was no reason for the autofill force to still be in place.
I’ll agree with the OP. Leave it as a toggle for those companies that feel a need to enable it. For those companies that can easily fill the roster it just gives false hope to those that get mistakenly invited.
as some one who got kicked several times as a lvl 60 healer. it is annoying. but also in invasions… whould love to experiance a war or invasion at some point

Remove the kicking feature so that neck beards like yourself cannot call themselves “special” anymore. Invasions / War are supposed to be faction wide and people from YOUR faction should be able to participate IF they chose to do so.
If you want PRIVATE PvP then flag up with your group and meet an opposing guild in the open. End of.
What is the point of “offering” something, if I as a player can NEVER take part in it unless I join a guild I have NO interest in joining. There is a LOT of good players (PvP) out there that can play their builds better than a lot of guild players and just because they chose to play PvP on their own or with a small group of friends, you chose to exclude them from a feature - worse yet, you chose to let other “players” decide whether or not a person can gain access to a game system, that was clearly designed to be accessible by EVERY player.
I am in game development since the early 2000s and I have never seen such negligence on your player base. Either go back to the old system (which obviously was broken) or make it free for all. This in-between current state is being abused, left, right and center.
I am getting upset everytime when I have to listen to my friend (who by any standards is an amazing DPS / Heal coming from games like DAoC) and being happy when he gets to join a war just to be kicked right after.
Whatever you do, either make it accessible for everyone OR leave it to guilds, you cannot do both.
Except if you’re on purple, and green is attacking you, a yellow guy can sign up for your war. Also, invasions are open to all members of all factions. Are you proposing banning all other factions from participating in wars and invasions except on their own color’s land? Because I support that as well
Should have two periods, the period where the company can manage who they want to participate, them a period that any free slot that still remains can be auto-filled without any power for the company to kick in this period.
My unique take on this entire board at this point is that there are no need for factions because the company organizer gets to control who goes to war, who gets to defend, who goes on invasions, and what taxes will be. Sounds more or less exclusive to companies at this point. If you are not in my company, you need not apply.
On the server I play, a company with my same faction has basically hiked taxes as a way to punish the opposing factions, but it also punishes their fellow faction members. Yes, fellow faction members get a minimal perk in comparison to the controlling company, so when they hike taxes, it does not really impact them (controlling company) with their huge tax break, but it does everyone else (Same faction or otherwise). With that said, same faction folks have no protections other then switch to an opposing faction and try to grow or join a different company from a different faction (Remember the 120 day faction swapper for only factions controlling the least amount of turf, yeah, that is going to get old real fast) to try to take out that company.
So as I said, if these are tools to be exclusive to companies, might as well just remove factions and just let the mega companies battle each other for control. Otherwise, if settlements are meant to be more or less a faction effort, perhaps work should be actually put into making it a faction effort and faction controlled, instead of company owned and operated. I swear, this feels like we are being controlled by large super corporations rather then being a coop.
Sorry for the late reply - real life n stuff. So yes, essentially that is what I was getting at. Why is anybody from Marauders allowed to join a war that he would have NO interest or investment in, in winning?
This is asking for Griefing, worst game design decision ever. Well I think they might have fired the actual game designers lol… So anyways, if you’re covenant and you want to help COVENANT to defend against the Marauders, then of course you should be able to do so.
If i am covenant and Marauders and Syndicate are fighting then I have NO business or interest in fighting for either. If I want to fight for Marauders, then well I should change my faction, simple.
The issue with just slotting whoever into the war provided their from the faction, what if you have 50 lvl 60s signed up and 25 lvl 10s signed up, and the game through RNG decides to put 25 of the lvl 10’s into the war, making half your roster lvl 10… there’s so many issues including making alts and just signing up for the other side and then AFKing as well.
