Before I post my idea you have to understand supercell will not just one day allow you to use ur heros in war. They make huge profit off people gemming there last days of the upgrade so they can use them for war.
I propose that supercell charge 20 gems per hero to allow you to use them in war if they are currently upgrading. It's a fair price to pay and I personally think supercell will profit more off this option as people are still going to gem there heros for everyday use
This actually seems rather reasonable to me.Quote:

Why would supercell agree to that? Me personally I wouldn't allow it when I could be getting people to spend a few hundred gems at a time as opposed to 20 gems. I get what you are asking for though, 20 gems for a temporary use of heroes during war and if everyone does it they will still be making a huge profit but realistically not everyone is upgrading their heroes at the same time.
Yes they are losing out on the 5% of players who spend 10 dollars to speed up one hero. But on the contrary these small gem purchases are highly in favour of supercell as they appeal to 100% of its players, they also make players who only rely on free gems a lot more likely to purchase gems as its gonna run them dry at 20 a possible 20/40 gems per war, also they are now at an unfair advantage, and everyone knows you never just make one purchase. Also the hero is still going to be upgrading after the war and people who are willing to spend 10 dollars to get a bit of extra war loot will still be inclined to upgrade as they will need there heros for raids.Quote:

I bet it would. I think quite a few people that would not be willing to shell out hundreds of gems at once would opt for this.
This is actually the best question in response to the post. However, we don't actually have the numbers on that. Only Supercell does😉. I knew a guy who would spend $20 a week to buy gems and he could boost pretty much anything he wanted at any time so yeah😒Quote:

if a compromise is what your looking for, that amount has to go up. 150 gems per usage in war. Not as expensive as paying the $10 but still pricey enough to make up for the loss revenue.
Having ng the gem cost this much Aldo ensures youre buying gems not just using free gems you've saved up.
150 seems really excessive to me. Remember we're talking about every 2 days here. Also it would also just permit hero usage during the war, not while raiding or defending.Quote:

Actually, on thinking about it, it doesn't hit 7 days for a while. Perhaps starting at 60 gems starting at level 10. Must be level 10 to unlock this feature.
That seems reasonable to me.
Whoo! yay for the compromise and the teamwork! *highfive*Quote:

I'm more in favor of a flat rate fee and I believe it should be a low one.
I was thinking along the lines of, since the stats are increasing, make the price go up as well, however i do see your point that the upgrade time flattens out at 7 days. How low are you talking for the Flat rate?Quote:

How about if you use an upgraded hero in your war attack, they're asleep in your war base based on how much damage they took in you rattack. And it's up to you if you want to boost (10 gems) or instantly heal (~50 Gems). that's about 100 Gems every war (2 heroes) unless you are a last minute attacker like me =).
I do agree something needs to be done here, but all I ask is for existing policy to be enforced.
Fact: Every war I'm without one hero. Even warring once a week, the duration of war falls during a hero upgrade, which is always one week at this point.
Fact: During upgrades, defenses function during war at their original level. This includes heroes, they do defend while being upgraded.
All I ask is to use heroes offensively in war during upgrades. During preparation day I look at bases and think, "what a time to be without the Barbarian King."
I really don't think any of these free options are gonna fly like having the option of choosing it for attack instead of defence, it's good for us but supercell and they have bills to pay

I think we compromise and meet in the middle again. 75 gems per hero for one time use during a war. That'd be 450 for 6 attacks as opposed to 1000 to finish it completely. I think its a decent middle ground that wouldn't lose them money.
Lets say you war 3 times in the week it wouldve taken a hero to upgrade. 550 gems if you just gem them for war, or 999 gems for the week. If you pay for the week you can use them in all raids not just cw, or 550 just to do two raids. :/Quote:

I think 20-50 depending on level, I buy 500-100 gems maybe every month and probably wouldn't spend more then 35 to use one of them
