Opt In/Opt Out War

Supercell-

Can you post an update about where the opt out/opt in war is at this time? In the view of my clan, this is the most important upgrade that needs to be added.

Thanks!

1. Wrong subforum

2. This idea has been suggested many times, so use that handy-dandy search function in the upper right corner of the screen.

I agree! As leader of my clan, there are several people I have to kick right before war then invite back after war has started so they can "opt out" due to vacations or just unable to participate. We acknowledge our top troop donations every season, so having to do this messes up the numbers and is just plain annoying.

Agreed! SC should listen and add this instead of dicking the heroes about.

This is the "IDEAS & FEATURE REQUESTS" forum, he's in the right one.

Marika indicated early on that this feature was a good one but I have not been able to find any postings from Supercell regaring its intentions on this. I just would like to know if it is going forward or not. If it is difficult or not.

support i hate being kicked and sometimes not invited back

theyve done it a lot of times before and they said it was for war

Copied and pasted from on of the other 100 threads on this topic . . .

I still don't like this on a very basic level. You have people who can't participate this war? Guess what, the other clan probably does too. This is self balancing. I also declare shenanigans on not having enough time to participate in the wars because of time. It takes 20 minutes to get in two attacks spread over 48 hours. If that does not qualify as casual gaming I am not sure what does. So what does this leave us with as the core problem? In my opinion it is players who have different interests, which is a symptom of the staggering difficulty of finding a clan that matches your play style and interests. Because it is so difficult to recruit players and/or find a clan that is a good match for you we end up with lots of clans that are a mix of play styles and leaders who don't want to stir the pot by enforcing what they want.

Now before you disregard what I said as me being a big jerk you should understand that I have the same issue in my clan. We have real life friends who often do not participate which makes it difficult to win some of our wars. While this is a bummer it is a conscious decision we make. On one side we WANT to be a strong war clan. On the other hand we WANT to have casual members. Guess what . . . you can't have both and SC certainly should NOT make weaker clans artificially stronger just to make them as powerful as strong clans who work to be that strong. They put in the extra effort that your (and my) clan are unwilling to commit to. We are weaker than them by CHOICE! Again, this choice is exacerbated by the lack of clan searching/recruiting tools available but it is a choice we have made and that is on us.

If we remove the whole "manage your clan better" argument we still have the glaring issue of game balance that everybody seems to ignore when they post this request. There are just as many threads started here to complain about how unfair the war matchmaking system already is. Can you imagine how much worse it will be when your 20 member clan gets matched up against the 20 best members that were hand picked out of a 40 member clan to be allowed to participate in a 20v20 war?

Okay, lets break this down.. No need to get knee deep in this.

If you're training a 20m army, you're barching for one star. (thumbs down)

It seems like you're complaining about a different issue here. If you think there's a problem with matchmaking, then go post about the matchmaking system.

There's nothing wrong with opting in / out, and you can't dismiss the issue by saying you have the issue, yet refuse to attempt a solution. I don't see what's wrong with taking parts of a larger clan and going head on with another clan. Weaker clans aren't being made stronger with a feature like this, it's just clan wars. There's not even a leaderboard for this haha

I hope you have cooled down, and maybe posted that (above) in another post.
