A solution for the "annoying 24 hour " prep day

I know that the prep day being 24 hours is really boring...

So I just came up with a solution to this problem...
And here it is..

When a clan has found an opponent for war...the prep day begins...and the use of preperation day is to donate troops to ur clanmates for the protection of their bases at war...and donating troops doesnt take long...well in my clan in abt 2 hours all the cc of the clan mates are full...but the thing is we still got 22 hours left before battle day And this is the boring part...everyone wants to battle as soon as the cc are full as there wont be anything else to do

My solution is simple and easy...a new button is needed to be added to the war map called 'prepared' or maybe something like that...This button can only be used by the leader of the clan

How the button works:

when a clan has totally prepared for war the leader presses this button and it is shown on the war map to the enemy clan that you are ready and is waiting for them to be ready...and if the enemy clan presses this button they are both taken in to the battle field for war

NOTE: IF EITHER CLAN HAVENT PRESSED THE BUTTON WITHIN THE NORMAL PREP DAY TIME PERIOD(24 HOURS), THEY WILL STILL BE TAKEN TO WAR AUTOMATICALLY WHEN TIME IS UP

Anything u wanna know or any suggestions?
Dont hesitate to ask or tell

Thnx :D
Have a nice day

I was thinking the exact same thing! Thanks for posting it. :)

No problemo.. :D

I think this is a great idea! This will also allow for more wars. Which will work in SuperCell's favor. It will mean that more troops will need to be created and it will take away any unneeded wait time. Great job in thinking of this one. I'm all for it.

Have you ever thought it is there to limit the amount of battles you can do to every 2 days, and therefore the lot you receive? The reward from the clan wars is pretty big, why would something like that be attainable potentially every few hours..

Nice idea. try bumping this post if no one replies. This is a great idea

Of course, if this idea was incorporated, the time limit between clan wars would have to be increased by the amount of time left when both clans hit the "prepared" button to keep the two-day war pattern.

Won't it be better to start searching after everyone is ready and troop is donated? It would eliminate the preparation time and gives everyone a full 24 hours to attack and scout?

Yeah, but you can't scout out the opponent bases to make your armies and donate troops. There needs to be some preparation time, during which you can see the other clan's bases.

No. The point of the preperations day is to help people recoup their loses of elixir and gold. Training troops gets expensive and is time consuming. Especially if you're training wizzys healers and dragons ect. And Also people need time to upgrade their defenses and troops which take days to complete. I am not in favor of this. There should be a cool down period for people to recoup their losses. The preperations day does that.

Maybe there could be a vote as to whether the preparation day ends or not. That way, everyone gets a say in whether they need more time to recuperate or not.

I want who ever says that prep day needs to be 24 hours, to read the post again..cuz I mentioned to press it when the clan is READY ...!!!

And one more thing..u have 24 hours for battle on the 'battle day' ...during that day u have more than enough time to scout and make army for battle...

Anyone else wanna share their opinion..?
:)

Useless, Just useless, Have you ever heard of time zones? That's why it's there, I see no point why this will be useful. I need these 24 hours. Supercell won't change it so there is a reduce in time, a ready for war, or anything that stops prep day quicker.

This is an example of what I think would be useful to make the preparation day shorter.
Once at least 50% of the players press their "ready for war" or "ready for battle" button, the preparation day will immediatly arrive at its end and the war begins.

50% or 75% of the players on each clan (or whatever they think it's appropiate), including always at least one Leader from each side should decide.
I've made two picture examples so you can see what it would look like. So tell me what you think.

Of course, once the button is pressed, all modifications to the village layout won't affect the war layout.

Great idea bro...sounds good...

I would love a ready button for both clans so the war can start sooner. A few comments around this are:

1. I think I would want the ready buttons to kick off a 1 hour count down. Some folks like to be online at the start and a 1 hour count down would allow for folks to notify their clan mates or just check in periodically. But, if the ready now buttons were clicked with less than 1 hour left anyway, it would start on time.

2. As to not having too many wars - I really would prefer if there was a limit to the number of wars. One of our leaders keeps pushing the start war button quickly after the end of the last one. Its non stop wars. They must work for the US government.... In any case - it would really be nice to have a cool down period between wars - maybe 2 days.

Mathewe, if everyone in the clan is ready for war, I don't see any reason why the war shouldn't start, no matter what timezone everyone is in.

What if there is a prepare for war button. The leader can see how many people have pressed the button. (He would see a number like 32/40 are ready for war). Then, based on this number, he could decide if the clan is ready to start battle day. When both clans are "ready for war" the battle day begins.

Any more opinions?....dont hesitate to write it here...
:D

people are from different time zones. thats why it was rejected before.

There could be a possibility that one of them youtubers said that Supercell said that this is rejected but, idk.

Just a possibility.

The leader would have to scout the bases of every clan member before pressing "ready". I continue farming right up to the last hour of preparation day. Then I change my base just before the battle day begins. Then I swap back as soon as battle day begins. I do this to protect my loot.
I would be annoyed, and it would hurt my clan's chances of winning if the war started suddenly before I (and/or other members) had a chance to swap base designs.
This would also make a lot more work for the leader, as they would have to be constantly scouting each members base until they were happy that everyone was ready. As almost every time we war, there's one or two inactive members, probably the leader would wait the full 24 hours.

My enemy clan definitely would have to wait 24 hrs. The current system is nice.

Well a battle day last 24 hrs, then u need time to find another battle, then u must prepare b4 u wage war

I like this idea! But this idea may not be easy to implement and may take up too much server and device space. To keep things simple, the leader should be able to show the clan is ready, whether clan members say so or not. If the leader is wise, he would make sure everyone is ready before declaring a war.

Look supercell a good idea! Isnt it wonderful!

A leader can be wise, but its hard for them to be on 24/7 checking to see if their clan is ready. And then face the complaints of members who actually weren't ready because they've become tired of listening to members say'"Lets go, lets go" and gone ahead with the war.

A 24 hour preparation day means that everyone can easily see when the battle will start, so if they aren't ready it's noone's fault but their own.

Yes. This idea is great. Prep day sucks. And to all those who think people won't have time to build their troops... You are wrong! They would say if they are ready or not and if someone isn't the leader just wouldn't click prepared. Also you have 24 hours of attack day to build your troops up. Great solution.

A good idea to all the waiting around. Another good idea would be a surrender option, if you are getting wasted by say 10 stars with only 3 attacks left, you can surrender the war.

There would still need to be time limits in place though, I.e only 1 war per 48 hour period, or else you could have numerous wars in a day. Which would throw heaps of loot into the game... Wait a minute...

Bad idea. The other clan would take advantage and hit the "prepared" button while your sleeping

The idea was that both clans would have to hit prepared before the battle started, so the other clan wouldn't be able to start the war until your clan was ready.

From what people are saying, it sounds like this idea appeals to members of clans that war all the time. It wouldn't really change the way our clan did clan wars as we would just let preparation day go for the full 24 hours.

well for low levels prep day is annoying, though for higher levels we have to work out the best strategies for each base with the clan, we have to figure out who fights who, we work out the best armies and scout out the enemy bases and give each other the best possible army to defend the base, we build war bases together and we make sure every single one of our members is aware and ready to war, some member of the clan our from different countries so it takes a little longer to get all this information around to everyone.
so in the end the 24 hours of preparation is useful and needed.

There's no way for any one person to know if everyone in the clan is ready, not in a full clan. Maybe in 10 man clans, but not the larger ones with diverse memebers.

Even if you allow for everyone to have a ready button for themselves individually, who's to say all 50 will ever be ready under 24 hours? Some people forget about coc for a few days. Then what if you force them to be ready, but I was planning on finalizing my war base before war day in order to maximize my farming? Or I change my baseto war but having to wait for others to hitnready, and never do? Then I get raided by non-war enemies and lose my loot?

I typically wait until the last hour before inset my war base, let it snap shot my base, then convert back to farming.

I have a solution for this problem of communication check out this thread http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...Clan-war-notes

Seems most of u like the idea...more opinions please..
And be sure to vote in the poll..

Yep...i have been thinking abt it...cu if not it won't be so fair ryt..

Think for support
Have a nice day..
:)

Seems you missed the point: If you play 1 clan war per day, you will get many resources once you get a win.. They don't want this because of GEMS!

Cool idea..great!

Do you mind if i add a little tweak? How about once 75% the players in the clan hit a button on the war map that reads IM READY! then your clan prepared number goes up once your numbers are both at 75% then the clan leader can hit the prepared button. If there are inactives then thats the leaders fault for not replacing them.

Every single post you make you are so angry and you constantly criticize everyone and everything. People spend lots of time coming up with great ideas. Try to see the good in the ideas, not the bad.

This is not a bad idea, and it or something similar has been requested a few times I think.

However, I don't think it would be helpful for our clan as we have people across a few different time zones and knowing well in advance when the clan war will start is very important.

That doesn't stop this feature from being implemented, we just wouldn't use it. I suspect that a lot of other clans would find themselves in a similar position.

I know that waiting for 24 hours can be frustrating when you've got a smallish clan where everyone is in the same time zone and can get prepared quickly and they're all keen to get to war! But you might find that very often the clan you're up against isn't in that position and wants to use the full 24 hours anyway, so you're no better off.

Is this idea really so complicated you can't understand it?

If your clan needs 24 hours, then your clan doesn't hit the prepared button. If the other clan hits it, it doesn't matter unless your clan hits it too.

The real negative to this idea is that SC may only want the resource awards available on a 2 day cycle. If so, this means they would have to introduce a delay before you could match again. Doing that, tho, would kind of make the idea pointless.

My TH lives outside. I put it in a few minutes before the start of a war and once the war has started it goes back out. For that, i need to know in advance when the war will start. Other people have mentionned the necessity of scouting, preparation and army buildup. I totally agree with them.

Although this is a great idea, but not all clans have 100% communication with all their members. I say just wait out the 24 hours to be sure your entire clan is ready. This way the Leader doesn't set the clan to "Prepared" and a few members actually aren't prepared.

Better safe that sorry, right? I know a lot of people can be impatient, me included.

This idea may be great for some clans, but not for others. Just because 1 person (leader or not) thinks the clan is ready doesn't mean it really is. And just because 75% of the clan clicks the "I'm ready" button doesn't mean the other 25% is. Say you're in a 50v50 war and 35 of the 50 people click in ready and the war day starts. Guess what? The other 15 members may be asleep with their TH outside their walls. This would put your clan at a serious disadvantage on war day because you'd be giving up so many free stars.


Just because you're impatient and want to have constant war days with no prep days doesn't mean its good overall for the game or community. Overall it sounds nice but it's a bad idea.

Not a bad idea..it's pretty cool..it would be awesome if this works..

Yea...great..that would be a lot more better I guess..thnx for suggestion...
:)

The problem with 75% of the clan saying their ready is that 75% of the clan isn't ready even with the 24 hr cooldown. That's why in my opinion, it doesn't matter what the clan says, if the leader is wise (or dumb:p) to think everybody is ready, he would say the clan is ready.

Well...adding an xtra button doest mean u need t use it...its not a MUST to use it...its for the clans which wants to end prep day faster

And btw..my clan isnt small ..its got 47 members and all are really active...and everyone is really keen with battles and stretagies..
So we dont wanna take such a long time for a war(battle day) to start..

And I know there are a lot of clans which are same as us...everyone craving for a faster way to bring battle day
And the poll proves that majority of the clashers want this...so just dont go all negetive on this and just vote in the poll...

HAVE A NICE DAY
:D

I know it's not always nice to hear people criticise your idea, especially when you've put a lot of thought into it. However, the fact of the matter is, Supercell must consider all the positives and negatives of an idea before they would try to implement it. By positives and negatives I mean both for us the players and for them the makers.

So please take all comments for what they are. The fact that you're getting a lot of opinions put down means that it's an important issue that Supercell will try to consider.

But then what would happen to the other clan? Would they be attacked undefended?

For what it's worth, I wasn't actually intending to be negative about your idea.

As you said, people don't have to use the feature, so there would be no harm in having it.

However, as I voted in your poll to use the full 24 hours I wanted to explain why, as I felt it wouldn't be a feature that we would use in our clan due to the reasons stated. I also voiced the opinion that our clan may not be unique in this regard, but maybe I will let other people speak for themselves.

I'm very happy for other clashers to disagree and vote to implement this idea if they feel it would benefit them. That is, after all, how these forums are meant to work.

Thank you for posting your idea and providing the opportunity for us to comment on it.

Supercell needs to look into this idea and bring it for us...some one from supercell please let us know what u think about this whole new feature...

Have a nice day :)

I think it is a solid idea

Maybe the button pressed doesn't necessary mean that the war would start immediatly after, let's say 75% players press it. It could mean two things:

1. That your base is ready, and after pressing the button you are free to change the layout of it for your own battles, that won't affect the "war layout" that will remain as before pressing the button.

2. The prep. time will be shortened. It could start immediatly or in stead of 24h waiting, the waiting time could be reduced to 12h, 8h, 4h... depending on what supercell would decide.

Let's remind that this is an acceptance by both clans, so even with different timezones, leaders are assuming they are able to start the battle no matter what time it is.

What? losses of elixir and gold?

Why are you not in favor of this suggestion? The leaders should be the only one that can hit that button and if someone wants to wait to let someone upgrade the leader should wait then?

I like the idea, and your view sounds like the same that suggest we need a "shield" to prevent to go to war because no one knows who hit the go to war button so they blame the game makers for having tolls as co leaders.

I love this addition to it, ill help solve the issue of "saving base"

its all fine and dandy for clans that are all american, but what about multicultural clans? i know a few people can fill up every ones cc but if you are a farmer and overnight your clan speeds up prep. day, you might get kicked out, or lose you clan this war.

For me, I'd rather just wait the day out... I have a life outside of clans so donate a bunch of wizards and dragons. then getting a 'mac daddy' army together in a day (especially a day when I'm at work) is plenty for me...

I would rather wait, I want to know the exact moment war starts so I know I have to change my base from farming to war base.

I'm not keen on holding a war base for potentially 24 hours because it 'might' start earlier.

More voters please...

A war every two days is good enough... If it's quicker than that you will become bored very quickly.

Yes, that's why a button will help people who are farming, because by pressing it you won't need to wait until the end of the preparation day, as the "war layout" will be saved and then you will be free to move your buildings again and sleep with no worries if you live in another country.

Need more voter...and be sure to share ur opinion..

Have a great day

There is a cool down period of 48hrs once a player enters a war.

The idea is nice but honestly I think it has little hope. This would really only be used in smaller clans, I can't imagine 70-100 people all agreeing its time to start within 24 hours. It would also create another point of contention if it was displayed on the map as people would start calling others out on not being ready or stalling the war. Just all seems impractical.

Well...supercell!! Give ppl what thay want!!

I voted as you asked, but against it.

Your idea assumes both clans will be ready close together. But it one clan says they are ready they now have to watch in case the other suddenly clicks it. Even with a one hour countdown like I saw that remains true they need to watch. if the other clan does not click theirs for 8 more hours (or especially if they never do) that's a lot of watching just in case.

Also, we time when we start a war to fit the schedules of the majority of our members. this button would mean that schedule could suddenly change after we did that.

The 24 hours is actually a good thing because people can count on it being exactly 24 hours. That timer on the screen is always true, no surprises that it goes away.

Also speaking for just myself now (guys that live their lives through their video games will flame me for saying this), I am seldom bored on prep day. I am usually jamming to get things in my life taken care of so that I can be free to work with my clan on the war when it comes. I am pretty much always very tight on time to do that.

Have you ever heard of time zones? Real lives? The prep day being reduced for 12 hours by the leader (who isn't going to care if 1-5 people out of 45 aren't ready) Isn't going to work for people who sleep for 8 of those hours, or works for 10 etc

also isn't part of the point of CW that it is always the same? When you look at a clan war wins you know that each one took 48 hours in total.

how many clan wars do u need in a week? 5? 6? Why? Why would you want that many clan wars in one week? Just curious.

this game has gone from( to some people) about clans and raiding and social chat and friendliness to back to back clan wars.

anyway not going to happen because it would just be less people buying gems and less profit, and I hope it doesn't because it would give people like u more clan wars:confused:
