Seems to like prep day is too long. Clans should only need a few hours for this. Considering you only get two attacks for the whole process. Any comments?

A whole day is just good.
nah not in an international clan!
timezones are all over the place ahhaha
Sometimes it feels too long, but I think its well balanced. You wouldn't know right away when the War will be over if lets say, they give you 5 hours for prep and 24 for raid
Nahhh,
1 day is good
sooo...this thread is "a complete waste of time":rolleyes:
1 day is reasonable considering of the time zone of your members!
Feels too long but there is a very good reason for it to be a full day. Our clan is from a single country in a single time zone so we can fill donations quickly, but a international clan will be more spread with one third of the clan always sleeping. When you also add that you want the best possible troops in the cw castles it makes sense to have a full day to prep. However it would be nice if we could keep our war base separately, mould it when ever and fill the castles. Then when the clan feels ready for a war they seek an opponent and start the war day right away.
Haha, suppose I deserved that. Well I thought it was, but now I don't, haha. Go figureQuote:

Work for 8 1/2+ hours,
Travel home, another 45 minutes,
Relax for at least a 1/2 hour,
Shower, cook and eat dinner and clean up, 1 1/2 hours,
And there's my 21+ hour day fitting into a a shortened prep day!
It is too long. Members will know if leader is going to start a new war after old one ended. They should shorten it down to 12 hours for prep.
Lets say the leader is from europe and he starts a war in his evening. Asian members of the clan have just gone to bed and americans are school/work. 12 hour prep day would create a tough spot for people not in your general time zone. While I agree the day long prep time feels really long as there is basicly very little to do during the prep day, it is very practical to have a full day to prep.Quote:

Lets say you actually read my post. If the leader is from a different time zone the members will ALREADY KNOW THIS and thus before they go to bed or whatever they could put their town hall inside so that when leader starts they will already be prepared.Quote:

Not only base design issue, but also donations. What if your people with the best troops is not able to get online during ashort prep period?Quote:

While 24 hours may be too long for you, it makes it easier for clans across the board and is also better for timing. Let's look a a scenario with a 12 hour prep. period and 12 hour war period (Times must be equal). If you start a war at 3:00 in the afternoon, go to bed at 10:00, and wake up at 8:00 (Luxurious sleep, I know.), you've missed half of your war during the time you were asleep. With a 24 hour prep period, you know the battle day will start at the same time that you started the war.
It is fine with how long it is. While I would love it to be shorter, other people might have to work, go to school, or sleep. also my clan has many people from around the USA and some from the other side of the world.
EDIT: I do go to school and have a job. Just in case you didn't think I did
i think its a good amount of time. Once everyone has donated they can relax and like it is stated above people are busy, so if they cooridinate a good time to start the war everyone should be good. :)
prefect? whats that mean?Quote:

How you really spend those two days? For me prep day involves looking at my designated opponent as we have agreed to raid the similary ranked base, donating some troops and eventually moving my th inside instead of my lab. War day I need to do two raids. I am fairly active player but still I have breaks during the day, at least for sleep at some point so doing a bit bigger army is no problem. As we are 2-0 in the wars and I have managed to win all four raids the benefits have been huge. 1.4M of gold and elixir for using bit over 700K of elixir on troops and spells. With bit more planning would have saved couple of spells also, but got too exited :) to be economical. Dark elixir is about 5K won and 2K used.Quote:

No, some people have lives.
16 hours would be fine or even 18 hours, there is no timezone that will miss out.
I seriously done little prep.. All I did was relocate my TH.. Which takes a matter of seconds.
Regardless of the timezones, 16hr would work better,
We need more available attacks 2/2 does not make most out of 24hr? battle day.
It would be better around 12-18 hrs
Smartie, not everyone lives downtown. Its a big world. When you go to bed, others get off bed.
Key word is prep "day". Wouldn't be prep day if it was an hour. I don't know what they'd call it then...Quote:

No, everybody gets on a different time of day so it's only fair to let everybody prepare rather than a small time frame, for instance the clan war I'm in right now started at 2 in the morning no way I could prepare while sleeping :p
I wish their was a sarcasm detector available for some people.Quote:

(thats what we do and we havent lost so far)
Agreed. My clan is also international.Quote:
