Solution idea for the "end game" burnout

As my sig suggests.... i am no where near end game as a maxed out th11. But we all see posts from th11's who are fed up.....

A possible solution to this end game "burnout" could be something that Call of Duty utilised years ago... start again from the beginning.

Give maxed end game players the option to start again from th1..... but when they do, they recieve a unique badge against their player profile (or league badge).

In addition to this, if a player so desired - anyone can restart, at any time - their buildings, walls, troop levels etc are traded in and converted to gems proportionate to the level of the item being traded - for when the player starts again. This means that anyone can restart at the beginning - however only the fully maxed th11 could recieve the unique badge against thier profile.

This idea of the unique badge worked really well for COD. With players restarting again and again and again. Players stayed interested.... the challenge of the game is renewed by returning to the beginning.... and with the gem trade-in idea mentioned above, the dedicated player gets a kick start to push through the lower th levels again.

Added advantage is that the game gets regular injections of lower th levels - this helps keeping clans diverse and not be just a slugging fest of th11/10 in wars.

What do people think? Crazy idea or?

edit: would be a win win for supercell as well. customer retention is assured, plus impatience would likely drive the re-starters to buy gems to advance faster again.

It's definitely not a crazy idea. This is what many players have already done, even without Prestige-mode. It's a lot of fun building up a new account and it's great to be able to donate to yourself so that you always have troops ready for raiding.

True... many of us do this with mini accounts... which is more or less the same idea - whilst having a higher level main account. it is a lot more fun to crush people with your mini. lol

It absolutely is! It's also fun to go back over old compositions and strategies.

I think they should be given a second account. One that switches easily, and is easily accessible. I know I myself wouldn't delete my maxed th11(If I ever got one), but would definitely make another account.

Agreed. It's nice to have options and it keeps the spark alive. And because the game doesn't have a problem with stat inflation, that TH11 account will still be useful even if you focus more on an alternate account.

It sounds great, but why stop at only 2 accounts? I know I would love to have this feature, I have 3 accounts that I'm building now. I have my maxxed TH10 (except heros which I'm working on) and a fresh TH9 and a mid-TH9.

I'd LOVE to be able to flip between each TH on my phone without jumping through hoops or using my kids ipad. So why not make the ability to have 5 "slots" (kinda like game saves when you are playing video games) that you can save your account to. You can overwrite each one (with a 2 factor confirmation... "Are you sure you want to overwrite <name> <TH Level>" followed by "Are you absolutely sure you want to overwrite <name> <TH Level>, this is not reversible").

Actually, I completely agree with this kind of idea. This would obviously not be used by a lot of people, but still. I would like this if or when I become maxed.

Instead of restarting why are we not focusing on issues at high troophies. I'm at legend league and average time to be able find an opponent is roughly an hour. That's the only main issue. l've have one hour lunch break and I used to try to attack during lunch breaks. Last week I tried to attack at every lunch break and could find an opponent, 5 hours search for in vain. I'm not trying to attack during lunch breaks anymore. I'm playing less, rouhly two hours after dinner, that means only one attack per day. If I could find an opponent in a shorter time I will attack more frequently and game will be exciting as it used to be

Personally, i have never been that high (th10 in legends..... cannon fodder), so cannot imagine the frustration that waiting in clouds could create. Agree, my idea does not address the clouding issue. The purpose of the re-set idea (with gem trade-in) is to keep those players in the game after they had done all they could achieve in the game. Also a good option for those who have grown tired of the grind and need a fresh start.

Clouds is a function of number of players populating that trophy range and the shield system. Whilst the existing shield system works great at lower league levels - where there are more targets - at higher league levels it works against the attacker. In that respect, the old shield system (pre dec2015) might actually have been more suitable. Breaking shield to attack meant as soon as you logged off.... you became a target. th sniping also meant that there were a lot of th7/8/9 in higher leagues... they were pests, but they were also targets. To be honest though - i don't know what would solve the clouding problem at high leagues. Something fot Supercell to be working on to be sure.

Great idea :) i like it

Thx. i used to be a heavy COD player years ago. i think i maxed out Modern Warfare like 3 times or something. Going back to the beginning worked really well.... the prestige badge added extra "weight" to a players stats. If applied to CoC, it gives a player an added "wow" factor that is outside of the league badge - and the th level. edit: seeing someone with the unique prestige badge in global would make that player instantly respected - and very much chased to join someones clan. even more so than the usual - look at me im in titans league.

Maybe Supercell can think up a few other ideas to make restarting more attractive.... maybe an added collector/mine level, or access to heroes earlier (say lv5 bk can be unlocked at th7 or something)..... customisable skins for the heroes.... added range for the aq, longer rage for the bk... etc etc etc
