I think it would be really cool if we can make it dark outside if our time zone is night time. I've seen other apps/games do this and this is a really cool feature. What do y'all think?
What would be the difference?
Might make stuff hard to see...
And we could simulate weather. Like if its raining in our area, there could be a light rain on the screen with puddles. I've seen this also. I don't want to name the game/app in fear of breaking a rule. If you wanna know just pm or if a mod could tell me its ok I will list it on here.
Purchase lights/camp fires/etc with gold/elixer to light up your base. Easy solution.Quote:

I feel as if this is a great idea maybe have it use location services and if it doesn't flatter your fancy then just turn it off. This idea could actually make the player feel some sort of personalization as you will. If you don't want it to do real time weather there would be a way to turn that off but keep the day and night time aspect alive. All aroind great idea, keep it up!
Would be nice, we will see by the decor "torches" and all corner walls have torches,, and villagers and builders carry lanterns.
Really good idea.
If you look at any other game that takes place at night, it is not hard to see. maybe all of the buidlings can be normal, but the sky, ground etc show it is night time. take plants vs zombies for an example. the night levels are at night (duhh) but is it hard to see?Quote:

How about making the normal troops stronger during day and dark troops stronger during night?
Bump! Bump!
As you probably have noticed, COC has be going through bug after bug that SC works their hardest to fix, but if you think about this, having to tackle so many different time zones is another indicator of a bug to happen. The servers won't be able to keep up with this. I don't doubt their abilities, but it just adds more problems to be taken care of.Quote:

Look what I made in PHOTOSHOp:
Attachment 18318
And supercell will have to monitor the weather in EVERY country that plays this?Quote:

maybe if you had day one hour, night the next, day next hour, night next and so on. (similar to night/day on minecraft)
Maybe partner up with weatherbug or weather channel. Sync Clash of Clans with one of these weather apps. I'm not a developer, so I don't know how it works. Just an idea.Quote:

I was thinking more along the lines of zombie farm... I think it actually follows the time on your phone or tablet to tell rather its dark or night.Quote:

Awesome idea! And when its night time, stuff like the fire from the army camp and the lights from the town hall illuminate the village. that would make it look awesome!
Thanks for the support on this idea guys. What's the next step we take to get Steve or SC to actually look at this thread and give and yay or naye?
This is a great idea IMO it'd just add a cool element to the game!
Hmm... What happens when you visit someone elses village, is it thier night or your night? I would like to see this but couldnt, as it would most likely cause more lag and delay than usual
Villagers and builders will wear torches, inferno tower light, TH10 light, torch decorQuote:

I kind of think that is a good ideaQuote:

No it would work off your clock settings on your phone or tablet, whatever your clock says would be the day/night option in the game.Quote:

Well? Powers at be look at this yet? :-)
I think this would be a great idea! I have always wanted this too. But instead of rain in our time zone how about a random weather or time for the clan?
That's a pretty interesting idea! You have my "yes" :)
YES YEA I agree that would be cool and yea PVZ is true in night it's fineQuote:

It's a good idea but we all have different time zones so might be hard for supercell to add everyone's timezone just so it can have weather and night & day added into the game but it would be a great new feature added.
Bumpity bumpity
Imagine how legendary raiding a village at night would be. Flaming arrows blazing, fire balls aflyin'... If this feature was toggle-able, I think it would be really cool. Ps. Seasons would be nice/weather patterns
Bump. I need more people to "yes" this idea! Thanks
I really like this idea, it would add a greater sense of realism to the game and just make it overall cooler.
However the weather sync idea is a bit far fetched. How about just predetermined weather cycles (rain, snow, etc.) for each whole clan, and day/night cycles are determined by your time on your device.
Hopefully supercell does this!
Maybe it can be linked some app that gives the local weather to input your local weather effect.
For day/ night/ dusk/ dawn it could be based on the time on your device.
My idea that would CoC would sync to the time of the device, also to the local weather, so it could also rain, etc. I give this idea 5 stars!
I'm not sure if the weather-thingy would work properly but the dynamic time sure would.Quote:

Was this ever nayed?
Thanks
Its cool, but at night it will be hard to see, maybe if it could be controlled better & don't make it too dark, & if they add the moon which could give light to see, & make it that when you r playing at day, its day, when you r playing at dawn, its dawn, & when its night, its night, & when it's raining, it's raining, & when it's raining with thunder, it's raining with thunder
Dont just bump your dead thread back to life....
And dont you have the game wouldnt you know???
Yes. I think it's a good idea, but should probably be toggle-able for those who wouldn't want it. Although In order for you to be able to see stuff during nighttime, you'll need some light. One source could be fireflies that help light up your base, and maybe troops + spells could glow. Or maybe the screen just gets tinted a lil during night. Idk.
adding to this. What if there was just a general Clash of clans time and every two hours, the game switches from night to day.
I can't believe I read the whole thing. x.x
Anyway, no, night time graphics would not make it hard to see, unless intentionaly made that way. Many video games, new and old, have done fine with a night theme.
Also, Timezone sync isn't that hard. Hardest part would be redoing the graphic sprites to also change color to a night time version of itself. ALL of the graphoc sprites. Granted, they wouldn't have to start from scratch, but would have to re-render all the models. Assuming they don't do some simple filtering effect, which may look cheap if they did.
Same with weather. It just depends on how much detail they are willing to do. Getting the data for weather is very easy, and changing settings in game a snap. It is GETTING the settings MADE in the first place is what takes time and effort.
It will create a lot of problems. But i like the idea though 😊
It would just be graphical. If there where battle effects reliant to it being day or night, that would add a brand new dimension to everything (just like how the graphics would be), and would be a nightmare to re-balance combat. (sorry, had to on that joke).
I rather be able to choose different weather types and looks than real time stuff, but this idea is still great anyway! +1
I knew there was a post like this out there.
I was discussing this the other day in my clan.
I support this - I would love to see the pretty lights and possibly fire flies in my camp at night.
Awww and a shooting star that lands on your base! Pretty!! :rolleyes::o
- dinner
Heh, mood weather. Can pick what you want based on a whim.Quote:

Weather based on your area, while that would be cool it would take up so much more memory. Slower and laggy-er game play is not what anyone wants. Plus making sure things like rain and snow or other precipitation doesn’t mess up spell effects or any other graphical parts of the game play would take time.
These are things they can definitely do however, one thing at a time to help with bugs and other issues.
Start with a day and night. Make it according to the time on your phone/tablet/whatever. Work out how it effects the people playing.
I for one would find a lot more people when their base is at night. Less chance of them revenging me while I build troops so I can continue to attack without worry of breaking my shield. Also on the defensive side... wouldn’t break a shield of my own when in the dark. Any change like this comes with consequences in a multiplayer game. How it affects game play and the people playing will weigh in on the "if" they want to do something like this.
While I love the images of my attacking at night or seeing my wizard towers blazing away at the now ninja like archers attacking me, setting the sky alight with electric fire, I can see how it might negatively change the game for some people.
