Toggle players on/off for Clan wars

I agree with this one.

Not everyone have same free time playing like me. Like in my current clan, some people can only online playing 1-2 hours a day, some can only play at night, some can only play at day, and even someone just doesnt care with clan war, win/lose.

And if some members are going to holiday and have no signal during the trip, it also ruins the current war participants since the remaining need to work harder to win.

Forcing everybody in clan to participate in clan war in order to stay in that clan is bad design part of clan war. The problem is not seen if you don't know each other in real life, you can just leave the clan. However, like my current clan, we live at same town, know each other and we value membership(loyalty) as like we value our friendship.

Kicking and then re-invite is probably good method, but it feels weird and discomfort kicking your real life friends from clan temporary and then re-invite them just because they don't want or can't participate in clan war.

With simple "opt out" feature for clan war, it brings harmony and comfort for each members. And this feature I believe won't bring up anymore drama within most clans.

Clan War is fun but it makes this game becomes more hardcore than before. I believe this feature will solve the problem.

When a player decides to opt out, the system will simply pick the next available player with the most trophies, how is that any different from co/leader kicking the player?

Yes the system predetermines the strength of a clan before the star war button is pressed, but when a player who is part of the algorithm leaves, the system quickly recalculate... when a clan is one less player from required member, ex. 1 leaves from a 20 clan, the system automatically scale it down to 15...


Please use common sense before replying, and please realize you offered no solution.

Great, you are a programmer then send the equation to supercell.

There have been many solutions offered. If you simply choose to ignore the solutions and keep on complaining then go right ahead. I did not bother to check how many TH Levels are in your clan but if you are the only TH10 in your clan then I am assuming you are a leader or co-leader. If the only single high TH base player is not going to war then I suggest to not war until he comes back because most likely you will be matched up against a clan with at least one TH10 base.

There is no drama in clan wars unless the clan is not prepared. Win or Lose its just a game. If you want to win all the time then create a hardcore warring clan. Like I said before, usually its only two or three people who cannot war and there should be other players with similar TH levels who can compensate for those non-warring players.

1) An opt out button does not work for players who are not there to use it.
2) A person opting out has the potential to cause 4 other people to be affected.
3) A couple unused attacks will have less of an impact on the clan than #2

Would you like to subscribe to my newsletter? :D

I wish there was some way to manage the war roster vs the regular clan roster other than kicking and inviting. The leader should be able to manage the entire roster, and the individual members should be able to opt in or opt out.

The coding wouldn't change because you need to have your roster set before you start the search. If you forget to set it and start the search, you'll be bringing extra people to war potentially increasing the increment from 40 to 45. It would make it a lot less stressful.

I posted this a while ago but the thread got locked because it just turned into a flame war. I am just adding my opinion. You can take it or leave it!

Ever sense Android was added to the game platform, our updates have come a little bit slower than before. I understand that an opt-in/out button has been asked for quite awhile it seems like now. The theory seems easy enough, right? Just a button to add to the game of whether or not you want to war! Simple enough...or is it?

Android and Apple are completely different systems, playing together, in real time, on a mobile device game. This does not happen often folks, if ever. Also, think about how many different devices by different manufacturers you would have to push notifications to about opting in or out of a war (Not just hundreds of devices, thousands!). So you have all of those different devices, running Android 4.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3 so on and so forth all by different carriers. You are now talking well into tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of combinations of devices and OS's.

If you have an Android phone or tablet, you will know that some devices work better with certain apps than other devices. Or you may have an upgrade in your phones software, then an app may work differently than before you upgraded. Clash of clans has never had this problem that I am aware of. I play on 3 devices, all Android now, and it works like a champ on each device!

So while a feature that may seem simple to add, may have to go through tons of hours of testing just to add a push notification.

Most people who are strongly opposed to this feature belong to hard core war clans and realize that this would wipe out much of their advantage over casual clans. So what if your war clan won 60 wars over clans with 10 year olds and guys who log on three times a week. Beat 60 clans made up of people who take wars as seriously as you do and it might be impressive.
