Clan Wars FEEDBACK here

I found it to be a fantastic experience. It was great to develop strategies in clan chat during a war. It has really brought the game back to life for many people. It may be buggy but no one can really blame SC.

But clan wars is here to stay, so if you don't like it and don't want to participate in it perhaps you should find another clan of likeminded people who can only do farming without any war interruptions, at least until a future update provides a better mechanism for both parties to co-exist in the same clan.

Did you even read what i wrote ?

I like the clan wars very much, think they are great adition to the game and bring in new exitement.

What i don't like is that as is now, basickly you have to choose between eigther playing war OR playing the normal game..

So what i suguest is to seperate them (the army making for them), so actually you do not have to choose if you want war, and loosecout on real game.. Or want real game and loose out on war.. But actually the posibility to play more of both.

Problem is the fighting time it takes away from the real game... Cooking an army at my lvl. for war, with troops, spells, heroes and all takes about 3 hours... If all used in the war attack (and we go all in, so all do get used) i now face 3 hours again of cooking a new army before i can go into an attack in the normal game.. So thats 6 hours taken from normal gameplay (and now i get auto logged off cause of the 6 hour period.. Lol)

In those 6 hours i could have done lots of attacks in real game, especially if being a bit carefull with my spells and heroes.. So could not only have improved my trophy score (for those of us caring about that) but also have made much more loot than the bonus for war.. And in the end, the loot talks if i want to upgrade my stuff and naturally i will be playing where i can get most loot.. So not in war butvin the real game instead.

Seperating the two.. Then you wouldn't have to choose between them.. You could do your normal game attacks when troops where ready in your normal village... And your war attacks when troops where readyvin your war village :-)

I just typed a response to a couple of others. I see what you're saying, yeah there could be a way of separating the two. But I guess Supercell wants to make the war village And its troops have an impact on the game so you will actually care about CW.

Separating them could solve it! And allow us to play more even. Like once the screenshot of the base is taken to be the war village when the war starts why not take a screenshot of the army/spells too. Then after the first attack the army & spells is instantly replenished for the second attack. The "war army" in this case is like the war base. Can't change either one and we shouldn't be able to until the war is finished.

Meanwhile we get to play with our regular army!

It's a pain, especially when you are all in different time zones and what is convenient for some isn't always for others for when the war starts. My trophy base doesn't function well for my cup level where I farm so I have to work all this ♥♥♥♥ out to get my base right for the war then try to get back to my farming base once it's locked into the war. I have to stop farming to make sure I get a shield and time to change my base before the war will start and lock my base in. Waiting hours for spells and heavy troops is annoying and expensive. And for what? 1 million in gold max and 4-5k de? I spend more on the troops and spells I have to use in the war battles than I get back in rewards. The actual battles offer next to no resources and the bonus at the end is dismal. The time and effort it takes means I get next to no farming done while the war was on. When you look at the big picture it's not really worth the time and effort required to participate in it's current state.

I'll be happy if they add a separate war base for CW so it doesn't affect our normal game, heroes available for attack as it's supposed to be a place where we can showcase our base at it's full potential but that should also include attack (we get faced with trophy clans and max everything so it's hardly a level playing field if we all have upgrading heroes), a separate CW army camp and spell factory so we don't have to kill our normal game participating in the wars, and lastly better rewards... the rewards are far too small to make it worth our while.

Same exact feelings here

People that are kicked or leave should be replaced by active clan members previously not eligible due to number of players. We had 42 clan members so when war started our bottom two players couldn't participate. Then two players left and one was kicked. Our bottom two still could not participate. Also there should be a way to tell who your recommended target is before battle day. We have tried matching up our map positions but it's off each time. We have had two wars and are 1-1.

So far I must say that Clan Wars is fantastic. I could tell that Supercell put a great amount of time into this project and it most certainly shows. I love how it works and I also love the loot bonus, but i have a couple of complaints/requests. Honestly if these handful of bugs are fixed I believe Clan Wars will be the best thing ever.

1. Multiple Base Layouts - I know this is highly requested and is probably going to be in the net update anyway, but it is really annoying to having to keep switching bases.

2. Clan Voting - It appears as though ours wars just seem to start on themselves. I know that this is not the case and someone has to start them, but there is no way to know. I wish there was someway a Leader or Co-Leader could send a request to go to war, and then it had to get so many "yes votes" from the other members to be sent out.

3. Locking Players In - It doesn't seem fair that if someone is in your clan when the war starts, they are able to leave. They may be penalized because they are no longer able to participate until the current war is over, but this also hurts the clan itself. I think that once you are in the war, you should have to stay until it is over.

4. Tie Breaker - This may be a rare occurrence, but in my second war, we had a tie. This doesn't really seem fair to either clan for putting in so much work. There should be some way to settle it. The best way I could come up with is the rest of the clan votes on 3 or 5 people, for example, to fight the others from the other clan. Whoever gets the most stars against each other wins. It could also just be the top 3 or 5, again example, but they aren't always active so thats why I think voting is better.

5. War Chat - This last one is just an idea. I think it would be neat to have a chat where both clans could talk each other. We could have some nice, clean trash talk, which would be censored of course, with our enemies. It would only be for the two days of the war, but it would be neat to be able to actually be able to tell someone you were going to wreck their base and actually be able to back it up, not just say it.

Donations made in the war screen don't count towards your clan donations.

Our clan is Adults only. We have a good mix of people but we've had 3 good players leave in the last 24hrs.
All three active people in chat, donations and regular raiding.

The feedback we are getting:

Going to war too soon:
Right after a war, we got challenged within hours. Many wanted a cool down or a choice to accept the challenge. There is none, and we lost one player because of it. He didn't want to do it again within a day of the last war. From what we know he's gone to a small clan below 10 so he won't be required to War. He's was an original member.

Wanting to Opt out:
Members want an Individual Member Opt-Out option, a quick poll indicates that it is the highest desired feature next to a saved battle war base layout. We have 2 groups in the clan, some social players and some love the competitive players.

A) Social/Farmers aren't liking that they have to change their bases and learn new battle tactics to raiding big guys (often with poor results), they can't opt out. They are either resenting it or talking about leaving.
B) The competitive players are struggling with inactive and inactive raiders on battle day.

We are adults who often spent a good amount of money for gems, but we have jobs, kids, homes and outside lives that might prevent us from raiding that day. We lost a terrific player who is social on chat, donates really good troops - but has a best friend with cancer and felt she couldn't guarantee being around on battle day - she left due to guilt.

Bad Donations to War Castle Suck:
i know that seeing donation details aren't in the works (saw your post) but the fact that unlike regular donations where you can see real time who's donating... Our having to investigate bases like CSIs to figure out who did it is getting a old. Lol. The troop dump troops option will help us with the problem of people donating troops they shouldn't. I'd say our clan would really like that option as a compromise, please implement it.

The basic message is we like our clan, it's a good one and we have built good relationships out of it. We hate to see good people go and are looking to help prevent it.

Here's an idea for you:
Found a friendly sub-clan that players can move into while the others go to war and don't go on back to back wars, take brakes from wars.
TS

You could please one person some of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time.
my clan had lots of fun during our war which we won, we're doing it ,in a weekly basis for now, I figure eventually it'll be less often but so far we are loving it.

That's an intersting point...having a fixed army set up...but thinking about it...maybe not so good. I really enjoy planning my cw-attack on the enemy. It's what would be fun on normal game revenge, IF it were not always so that the player you want to revenge is either online or has a shield i.e. the base is not accessable...or worse: the base is open to an attack, but my army isn't ready...and by the time it is, there's a shield up.
That's one of the reasons I'm really enjoying clan wars, because now you can!
It's great to think an attack through with more than 30 seconds at hand to do so, to plan the army set up you believe is best for this one attack and to make it count. Sometimes it will fail, and sometimes you pull it off, troops working together like clockwork...a grandly smug feeling!
Concerning loot: clan Wars is a side show, it's not supposed to replace the game play we have come to know and love, it's an addition. Naturally farming in the usual way will bring you more incoming resources. fine. stay with that, then. CW adds a more strategical aspect to coc, something it was a bit lacking for the reasons mentioned above.
Have Fun
