Can we please get a sticky to collect data on super long war search?

The only chiefs SC risks losing are the ones who were driving the game into the ground.

Luckily for everyone else, clash can find its roots and get back to what made it great to begin with.

8 hour search but finally got a war. i'd imagine our roster for 40v40 is probably one of the heaviest around so no surprise it takes a while to match.

breakdown, 13/20/7 vs 14/23/2/1. they have 1 extra 12 and 3 extra th11s but no big deal. half of their th11+ are below 30/30/20 heroes while nearly all of ours are maxed at th11 and below.

Our match times have gone out too, they were always under 15 mins but it’s been taking an hour. I think that would be about pool depth. We were all big 11s in 10 or 15 war size brackets looking for same of which there were plenty, now with different numbers of players in total having pushed the 12 button across all similar clans there’s less of us almost exactly the same and so very easy to match as was before. I think people are forgetting that as a possible additional general factor working alongside the issues of including engineered bases ir not and including a wide th spread or not in terms of explaining why newly longer times since update.

So the longer search times has actually caused us having 1 war since the update when we should have had almost 4

We have slightly long spins, 1-1.5 hours (think that's a little long for 15v). Hasn't changed in a while. Think the war pool is absolutely full of 9.11s/rushed 10.5s to match us with, everyone voted with their feet to leave th10, SC left 10s unbalanced for way too long.

Siege machine fixes th10 (perhaps makes it too easy) but they can't unrush now.

The not dropping items only applies if you have the items, but have not yet built them. Which normally means you bought one of the packs you get offered immediately after a TH upgrade, but have left the xbows/infernos/eagles unplaced.

If you do that, they will still count against your war weight now - they used to only count if you had actually placed them on at least one of your main or war base.

I am truly thankful for this reply Ajax.
I was aware that anything bought in a pack and not placed will count. What I was getting at, was omitting certain defences, in our case the IT, in order to carry less def weight, therefore lowering our overall weight. It did appear, having read elsewhere that they may be loose hall matching, or similar, meaning anything not dropped/used, could well be on the oppo base anyway.
I appreciate that this can happen any time anyway, but in the past, if they had ferno, then they would be lacking that 5k approx. per ferno elsewhere. BTW.. Even tho I appreciate the response, it was neither your nor Holps' posts that I was referring to. I will take the opportunity to let you know you guys are doing a good job, often under very difficult and trying circumstances.

Not to name and shame you. But your roster is causing the longer search times. You can be engineered and still match. What you cant be is unusual. "Commonality of roster" is key. If others are there, you will match. If nobody similar spins, then a change needs to be made at your end.

We dont have any .5’s or defenseless accounts with us. All maxed th9-10-11 and some newly upgraded th12. Maybe the problem is that we are not engineers

Hi.
In my humble opinion, the term - name as "engineering villages" should not exist in a professional game that is CoC.
Since the software and regulations allow you to create any villages, all the products of the player's imagination are correct.
It is wrong to choose an opponent based on a complicated algorithm that takes into account the presence of some buildings.
The player's free will - if he wants to play without defense is his business but the fact that his weight is underestimated is a mistake. Should be: TH10 without buildings, without a wall = TH10 with all max. It is the free will of the player that he is involved in wars with weak defense.

I am writing this because I can not find an opponent in clan wars for 3 days. The search took 3x 24 hours and nothing. I turned on the search for the fourth time ....

Regards.
Tomasz

Doesn't matter at all what accounts are used. Only thing that matters , is that someone else is spinning with a roster that is similar enough to match. There is another level in the game now, which will automatically increase the number of variables within the game.
If plenty of people have moved their account on, then what would once be a deep draw pool, will become ever shallower.
I believe, if you find a sweet spot for your roster, you stick with it. Until you find a sweet spot, then matterless of whether one should need to do it, you keep looking. It is what it is.

EDIT. Don't want to sound harsh. I feel for the people that have had their roster squeezed out following the upgrade. But being realistic, a roster that isn't working, isn't working. I genuinely have fun trying to find a roster that can match favourably. I wouldn't expect everyone to feel the same, but a non matching roster will need a tweak or two.
