Opted out? Opted in? Show it on the main village view.

It's hard to get everyone in the clan to update their Opted In / Opted Out setting.

It takes five clicks to do it, and on the home village screen there is no indication of your setting.

Not infrequently, I or someone else has to tell a new player to the game how to find the war opt in/out setting, and it is surprisingly a difficult explanation.


War opt in/out status is obvious enough on clan view, where the leader looks, but for a member who is not at the top of the trophy ranks, they have to scroll down to even find themselves to see.

I suggest that one's war opt in/out status should be visually indicated by the background colour of the crossed swords icon/button on the far left. A green background means you are opted in. A red background means you are opted out.

Further, you should be able to change your opt in/out status from the screen accessed by touching that crossed swords icon/button on the far left.

That is exactly how it does work now?

Well again, you can. Clicking that icon for your own account brings up a button for "profile", and clicking on that brings you to your profile, with the button there for "clan wars".

Not sure why this is hard to communicate, but it is.

The button is the third from the bottom on the left. The bottom left button is the larger "Attack!" button. Above that is the training button. Above that is the war button.

The war button shows two swords crossed. The suggestion is that this button should include a color indicator, green/red, to show you one your main village screen whether you are opted in opted out.

Pressing this war button takes you to the war functions, EXCEPT it DOES NOT give you an option to Opt in or Opt out. Pressing this button does not bring up your profile.

Pressing this crossed swords war button brings up the war summary page. Outside war time, it brings up the last war summary page. During war, it brings up the war map. I think in both cases, there should be the green/red "Clan Wars" opt in/out status that tells you, by color, whether you are opt in/out, allows you to swap.

I think it should be more prominent, on the home village screen, and on the war map, whether you are opted in or out, and easier to change.

Having forgotten to change a alt. account back to opt in after a queen upgrade, is became clear to me why so many clan members also forget to fix it.

Ok. I get it now. So on the default view, looking at your base, the war button should be green or red. Sounds good to me.

Sorry, I misread your first post.

I thought you were talking about the icon on far left when showing clan members. I didn't realise you meant the war icon on the main village view.

I support this idea

What happens when the icon is red, but the leader puts you into war anyway? Of course there would be a little red number showing you have attacks remaining, but on top of a red icon? I don't think people would see it, or the fact that the whole icon is red would draw less attention to it. Solving one problem will create another.

A person's profile is one tap away by clicking the blue XP icon in the upper left. It's not hard for people to check it there. If someone forgets and they miss out on war, then maybe they'll pay more attention next time.

I really think co-leaders being able to change people's status will solve many more problems, and help this one.

Every time I see this thread title “Opted out? Opted in?” I immediately follow with “let me begin, I came to win, battle me that’s a sin.” Maybe it is because I hear it so much during Wisconsin Badgers games. Anyway, anything that makes it easier to see is an improvement in my opinion, although like Johnny says, I don’t see it as much of an issue anyway. It is very easy to see on your profile. I do suppose having it on your main page without going to the profile would make it even more obvious. Personally, the change I’d rather see on this related topic is the ability of the leader to turn players red/off.

No disagreement with the wish for leaders to turn inactive people red, but if that change WERE to happen, how do you expect the semi-active casual player to KNOW?

Yes, it’s easy to get to your player profile, but why should your opt in/out status be hiding behind that layer? Facts are, members in my clan, young ones, have trouble finding it, and myself, flipping between a few accounts in a few clans, I find it tedious to check and wish for an indicator on the main village view.

Did you look at the image I tried to insert, but is only linked? The colouring is not the whole thing. The number of attacks left will still be obvious

Here you go:
https://i.ibb.co/g4tCDbZ/09474942-E2...95-DB9-BEF.jpg

To insert an image, it must be either saved in forums (very small size), or on a host site, the address must be surrounded by the [img] ... [/img] codes.I screenshotted your image to make it mine, and hosted on imgbb. Other options are listed in my sig: ‘How to post pictures’ (but note that tinypic has stopped working for most, and imgur is a pain for forums on mobile... imgbb works same, and is inserted in same way).
Edit: ‘reply with quote’ of this post will show the bb-code used to display the image here.

I like this idea, a lot. We constantly have clan members not looking at their status so it being on the main screen is a great idea.

I also agree (yet again) that co/leaders being able to change people to red is desperately needed.

Having co's change members opted in/out status is not necessary. It's just 2 taps away. Tap xp(go to profile), tap opted in/out. That easy. If all the micro managemente has to be done by the co's, do you even have a clan?

I would support the idea to turn the status to Opted Out of someone that has been offline for a full day or two days automatically.

Yes, the easiest way to access war opt in/out is via the top left blue star button.
It would be similarly good if that star had the red/green indicator of your current status. A war status indication on the main village screen is the main desire.

I think having the indicator in the war button is logical, but so is having the indicator on the button that leads to the ability to change the status.

I run a clan that explicitly caters for kids. We are not hardcore competitive, but I like members opt in/out status to be updated, and sometimes they forget because they don’t see it. Indeed, as I mentioned, sometimes I forget on an alt. Account. I don’t think this is micromanagement.

I would seriously and adamantly oppose that idea. 2-3 weeks, maybe, though even that much is debatable, but anything less, just NO.

Definitely no. Many of my members only log in for the weekend war.

Maybe two weeks? Probably not though, not even six months, because we have this privacy expectation in CoC that no one knows when you are logging in.

Auto-opt-out for doing no attacks in a war would be very good.
