If you get the star bonus your can't start earning another for 24 hrs according to the count down. This means you can only earn a star bonus every other day.
I was thinking a little bit of the same thing. It isn't a daily bonus; in this way, but it also isn't every other day.
Calculation:
- You do your attack to gain stars: attack A,B (C,D,E)
- When you reach the fifth star you get your bonus, including a 24 hour cooling down to go for the next round
After 24 hours if you get lucky, really good or gem the thing you could achieve the next bonus within the hour; then getting the 24 hour cooling down again after you win the 5th star.
You are completely correct that it isn't "daily".
Linking it to a language, local time etc would most likely be prawn to abuse; Might I do a suggestion:
Start the mechanism of the 24 hour cooling down after the FIRST attack and not after the last attack that earned you the fifth star! That way you can earn a daily bonus!
I think that would be a small change (looking at the mechanism in place now) and make the daily bonus (almost) a really daily one.
I was thinking more along the lines of I get home from work, get my 5 stars sometime in the next 5-6 hrs including a war attack, by the time I have the bonus it's let's say 11 pm, I now have to wait 24 hrs to earn the next bonus but that means 11pm the next say so no chance to attack until after work the next day. Hence every other day!
I have a better idea: Make it a truly daily bonus. Set it on a 24 hour clock, reset at, say 3 or 4 am, local time, or even server time, if that's eadier. If you don't get your 5★ by the time it resets, too bad. But you get a chance, every 24 hours to get your 5★ no matter when you get them during the 24 hour period.
if you don't get your daily star for today, what should happen? you should get 2 star bonus for tomorrow? or if you get your star in the last seconds, you should get another bonus a few seconds after that? No, So SC added 24 Hours limit to fix it.
What should happen is that I should be able to earn the daily star bonus daily not every two days. If people can't earn 5 stars per day, I don't see why those cant be passed on to the following day until they fill the 5 stars, but just because they can't earn the bonus everyday doesn't mean I shouldn't have that option does it? The day should reset at a specified time each day and any unused stars earned from the previous day rolled over if the person didn't complete that days 5 stars.
It seems to be changed since the maintenance today, I got my 5th star and it ready I had 20 hours left on my cooldown.
