Recruitment Tool Improvement - This Basic Function is Needed Urgently

Clash CS asked me to post this idea, as the devs apparently read these posts.

So invites to new clans disappear currently after a period of time. This is unfortunate since many of us need time to think about new clans, do some due dilligence, and make sure it is a good fit, especially if we only have the tools available in game to use...which is how the recruiting system needs to be..very robust and completely game contained...but I digress.

To better accomplish the function of recruiting....there either needs to be no expiration of clan invites or a countdown feature of sufficient length, eg. so we know we have say 3 days to accept...I was told it is currently 24 hours, I believed it to be indefinite, but 24 hours is just not enough time.

So you want to add to the full inbox problems?

Finding clan isn't a big deal nowadays, finding good players is. You can easily join a clan and leave if it doesn't fit your needs and move on to search for other one. While it's not the case for recruiting players with the current version of Recruitment tool

theres already enough in my inbox, and honestly you can't tell how good a clan is unless you join it and talk in the chat, so this extra time really isn't needed. Just decline it if you definitely know you won't be a fit, or join and see what they are all about before making a decision.

24 hours feels like enough time for an active, daily player to respond to your invite. Even if they don’t accept within that timeframe, they can bookmark your clan for future consideration.

The idea of bookmarking would help but really all I would like to see is a countdown timer so a person knows when an invite will exprire....indefinite may be too long but 2 or 3 days is not. I am testing the system and I have a max TH13 in Legends, with invites being accepted and I have received one in months. Before that i got like 15 in one day...but nothing else ever. So if invites are so infrequent maybe they should last longer?

I got an invite to a clan and it is a great clan I'm still in it and it's active it's just not a high level the only problem I have with the feature is that after I got in the clan I turned off invites but I still got invited to another clan even though I turned off clan invites

Friends can still invite you to their clan even if you've turned off invites.

What if Supercell revise the current "find a clan" tab and make it something like the recruitment subforums where the only thing we can do is post a "Looking for a clan" or "Looking for a member" message. Just 2 buttons, and maybe you can add a little note to it.

If someone posts a "Looking for a clan" message, elders and above can send an invitation to that user.

If elders and above posts a "Looking for a member" message, clan searching souls can join or request to join that clan.

Posts will be filtered based on locations.

This is unlike the current find a clan which is pretty much unusable because it only suggests clans (which is by the way not even looking for members), it was just like searching for a random clan and try to get in. And also, there's no option to search for interested members if you're establishing a new clan.

So maybe it's best to integrate the recruitment subforums, and other options like FB groups, so it will be easier and in-game.

Regards,

I have floated that idea numerous times and numerous places as it seems the likely true fix to the recruiting tool. But i get the impression perhaps the game team does not want to deal with making the tool better, policing is easy...yet I am at a loss as to why we do not have a "Recruit Me" or "Looking for" type section...

And the mention of it having resemblance to that one thing they removed will make it a ruled out idea, so don't.

But not making this, or any improvement means that they don't cater to new f2p and independent players anymore. New players are either mini accounts or paying players. Gone are the days where ragtag th7 clan warring vs. ragtag th7 clan with mass dragons.

Please just check your inbox daily and look at invites. Back in old days you had to go to global and get them immediately. We don’t need any reason to have more inboxes full.

Tell us exactly how it works for you, or make a thread about it, because it's obviously not working.

Why don't we need that reason? If one is finding a clan then he needs full inbox of options.

The issue is that many who use the recruiting tool consistently get inbox is full messages when trying to invite players. Making the invites stay longer would make the problem worse.
