If you could merge the two systems together that would be great,

Say if someone is wanting to join the clan but has just left a clan they would be on probation for the [X] amount of days they have left, after those days they would be allowed to cap.

It would also be neat if they got a rank for this or a little icon next to their name so you can tell they are still on their probation instead of having to go into the clan settings to check.

Thanks

I would support this being done, it to would make recruiting easier for my own RS3 clan. We've had to temp rank some people in the past in our osrs branch so recruiters knew that the person was joining but on probation LODJ RS3 Division

I feel like a hybrid of the old system and the new system would work well. Why not just make it so when you leave a clan, there is a flat one week cooldown until you can cap again in ANY clan, and remove the delay in joining another clan altogether. If somebody wants to leave a clan, there is usually a good reason, and there shouldn't be a delay between them leaving and joining a new clan they want to join.

Players should not be punished by being unable to join a new clan because their old clan was not meeting their expectations. Remove the clan joining timer and implement a one week delay in citadel capping that starts as soon as one leaves a clan.

As previously stated, this will not work as it completely undermines the purpose of the change in the probation system.

The cooldown period should not be thought of a punishment. It is not a punishment. It is simply a cooldown. In fact, joining a clan and not being able to participate seems like more of a punishment then simply waiting a week in between clans IMO.

Allow players to go 'on loan' to other clans, this would prevent pre-clan cup hopping, it would also allow players to try out a clan well before joining.

No. A loaning option is exactly the kind og behaviour we do not want in the Clan Cup. We want to discourage Clans from bulking their numbers up during the Clan Cup and there several notable examples where half the team fielded had joined in the previous week or two weeks before their match.

Can the clan combat cup also be done with less people now as for even my clan it was hard to bring the required amount of people. Since we only took part for fun.

Then maybe less clans need extra people who want to take part Ceecs - leader of Ceecs Clan

Fixed Citadel Build/Cap reset - change the citadel build reset so that it is at the same time and day for everyone.

No support. Our clan is very reliant on the build tick being on the day and time it is, I have worked this into my schedule on the long term and this would create nothing but problems for our clan.

What would be great, however, is if I could sticky my clan's build tick to a certain day/ time. Every Sunday at 19:00 game time. Not, "oh someone didn't join for five minutes after build tick, it's every Sunday at 19:05 now."

Remove 7 day Cooldown, add 1 Clan per month limit

This would be a worse version of the current system.

"Is it true RuneScript has no double/float?"

This, along with finding out that up until two weeks ago you didn't even have increment/ decrement operators makes me wonder why you would even bother to continue supporting RuneScript?

I'm honestly curious why you don't just phase it out and start using a fleshed out, stable programming language for the purpose of content creation from this point on, while letting the engine continue to support legacy scripts. Surely you'd be able to create better, more stable content that way.

I can only imagine how hacky some of the older scripts are. I'd love for an opportunity to have a look at some of your code...

Until you realize they have invited all the bots they have been using and have traded with most of your Clan and half of you are banned as Gold Farmers...

That's not scary to think about at all. Trade with the wrong person? You're just as guilty, criminal! That doesn't make any sense.

---------------------------------------------------

This would actually be the best solution if it wasnt for the fact that it would still allow people to join on clan cup weeks

I understand the system but it does make it harder to recruit people.

There were 3 core reasons for the change that we felt had to be addressed/changed.

Original message details are unavailable.
1)

The delay on new Clan Members being able to function as a full member of the Clan ie Citadel skilling.

Bad justification. I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain about this. And even if this was a relevant problem, the solution would certainly not be changing the whole system.

Original message details are unavailable.
2)

The ability of individuals to leave one Clan and take part in activities, including the Clan Cup, as a member of another Clan straight away. There was a significant issue with this during the Clan Cup and led to disqualifications.

Decent justification. But couldn't there be ways around it? And if there were disqualifications, wasn't the problem already properly noticeable and reportable? Ultimately, was it worth it to change the entire system over Clan Cup?

Original message details are unavailable.
3)

That "Clan Hoppers" caused significant concern to a number of Clans and were something we wanted to address.

Bad justification. Again, you're killing an ant with a freaking nuclear bomb. Irrational response to a small issue. If ''Clan Hoppers'' were really a concern, you'd limit how many times person A could switch clans, not for how many days person A would have to wait to join a clan at all.

I know I'm late to the party but I must leave my opinion here. It's pretty clear that the only concern which guided this update was the Clan Cup. Clans were left in a dark place over some event who happens once a year. Resources were dedicated to unneeded changes we weren't consulted on, rather than much needed and requested changes. That's kind of sad.
