Clan bonus changed? (in General)

Anyone else noticed? My clan is at 12th and is only getting 4%. o_O

Right now it's only top 15 clans getting bonus. If you run your mouse over the link underneath stats in the sidebar it says the amount of clans receiving bonus. It always starts off low and climbs.

It's usually the top 20% of clans I believe that get a bonus. The fact that not many people are fighting at this time means a lot of clans remain at 0 and aren't on the clan standings.

So when there are fewer clans with more than 0 clanpoints, the bonus changes to this state?

From what I've seen before, yes. Keep an eye on it later - providing you're still within the bonus range you'll see it spread out further. Especially once the Americans and the Canadians wake up!

Those who have actually gone to sleep that is.....;)

Unless you mistyped then you must have misunderstood. After cache flush points become available to gain and lose. If a clan has done neither of these it is not on the clan standings. The top 20% of the clans in the clan standings get a bonus ranging from 15% down to 0. Currently because there are a lot of clans who haven't gained or lost points they are not considered in the clan standings. Therefore making it much harder for a lot of clans to get a decent bonus in the first few hours of clan fighting.

ok, so only clans with either positive or negative clanpoints are included in the clan system for bonus.

Flamey has it right. I'm still half asleep. ;)

Yep and the reason for such a fluctuation is all the dead clans that end up on -1 or 3 at the end of the week, we can thank them for our bonus :)
