Make hero's & spells usable while upgrading.

I'm sure this has been requested before. If so I'm merely here to add a voice. The hero's, and to a lesser degree the spells, are a huge staple to attacks/defense once you reach the levels of receiving them. And that to go without them for a period of time is somewhat mind boggling on many different factors.

One, you gain these cool things to use except they aren't usable if you progress, and progress is one of the bigger/biggest drives to keeping interest in something. If you take away that interesting part then what's the point? At least until they finish, which is days, weeks, months of without. Especially when that part become a staple for success an further progress in other areas of playing the game.

Secondly, let's say you change hero's/spells to be usable like the CC while upgrading, you'll have that much more interest at ALL levels of the game and not just at max. This would keep more people playing, and more playing more actively, which in the bigger picture maintains a healthier environment to play in and keeps people spending time/money on CoC.

And finally I don't see any negative implications of making this change. It benefits the players and nor should it be detrimental to the business end. If anything it might improve it, again especially hero's, as people can now experience them more in battle they might be more willing to spend more for the sake of that next level of progress.

Thank you and hope you consider it.

Just wanted to bump and also clarify that while hero's and spell factory are upgrading they are usable at their current level just like how it is when something is usable while upgrading on the war base.

Bumping is only allowed in clan talk subforum.

If your idea was interesting enough, people would talk about it.

Nothing is usable while upgrading, only recent because of clan wars has defensive structures become available just for war.

This is the price you pay for upgrading. Don't want your upgraded building to be down for the count? Want to use it immediately? There's already a built in solution for it!

GEM IT!

That is where you are completely wrong.

Their entire business model is based on making money on impatient players. Want your spells immediately? Gem it. Want your hero for a raid? Gem it. Want the barracks available? Gem it!!!!

Making them all available would absolutely take a portion out of their revenue!

No upgrade takes a month to complete. Unless you are back to back upgrading a hero. This is basically the same thing as suggesting that defenses under construction should be functional.

I have become very dependent on spells during attacks and less on my king, and it will drive me insane wen its time to upgrade to jump spells, as it did when i upgrade to rage... I havent upgraded my king yet since im a terrible de farmer but im sure ill have a hole in my defense from it now...

No there are plenty of structures that are usable/in use while upgrading like the CC and army camps. Guess what? People still gem them because they want the extra bonus the next level brings sooner.

People will still gem hero's and the spell factory if they want to quickly play with new/more spells or stronger hero's regardless of whether they're able to use them while upgrading or not.

I'm making the case that being able to use these staples, just the same as your clan castle, is even more enticing and keeps more interest in the game at all times. I have clan members and friends who'll take a week off just because they started the final spell factory upgrade. Only logging on to collect collectors or refresh builders. Some practically go inactive because their hero's start taking too long and they lose interest. I myself have simply put off upgrading hero's altogether now because I'd rather have the fun of using them.

More interest can mean more active playing. More who are actively playing can also ramp up spending. This part is mainly for supercell and those concerned about supercells financials situations.

For everyone else, more things being able to play with equals more fun.

Yes when I said months I was referring to overall accumulated time.

Also no, defensive structures are no where near as vitally important while "playing" CoC. Why? Because there's multiple defense structures. You can spread around the upgrading and still perform a great defense.

If there were multiple spell factories like there are barracks or if there were multiple BKs or AQs and/or a single one wasn't so vitally important to have I could then might see your point. Alas that's not how it is.

If heroes and spell factory are upgrading they are useless in attacks.

Please do not dig up old topics. There is already a topic to deal with this suggestion so please reply in that one if you support the idea: [PETITION] Make Heroes Usable in Clan Wars... While Upgrading.
