Less Confusing Cancel Button, along with Other Small Ideas
When you are searching for a Clan War or upgrading a building, or even something as small as stopping a decoration removal, you have the option to cancel it. The porblem is that cancels can happen accidentally.
For example, in the Clan War Search, a message pops up, saying something to the tune of:
"Wait! You can still keep the Clan war searching from another screen. Do you want tocancel the search?"
What I disapprove of are how the two options are
"Cancel" and "Done".
The "Done" button cancels the search, upgrade, or removal, while the "Cancel" button cancels your current operation before you can actually cancel the search, upgrade, or removal.
... I don't know if I'm thinking differently than anyone else, but is this not highly counter- intuitive? I frequently have to guess, since, in my mind, "Done" naturally means, "I am done. I am happy where I am. I do not want to do anything.", while "Cancel" signifies, "I want to cancel this."
Not only that, but the "Done" button is green, while the other, "Cancel", is red. This is another step that tells me that green is okay, while red means to go through with the negative cancelling action.
Same goes for the "Cancel" and "Okay" buttons used for cancelling upgrades.
I have accidentally cancelled upgrades, one resulting in a loss of 2.5 million gold (an archer tower from level 10 to 11, urgh...). Imagine how painful it would be for upgrades that cost even more! An accidental cancel resulting in the loss of 4 million gold would be very irritating at Town Hall 10, especially considering how hard it is to earn loot up there. That is six hours of farming, all because of an ambiguous message.
I am not a coding expert, but I am sure that this would not be a very hard change to make.
This would have no downsides, and, I am sure, a simple "Yes" or "No" would save many new players (upgrading a town hall can seem like a lot of work at lower town hall levels) an angry stopping of the game due to rage, and money for Supercell.
I appreciate that Supercell is doing their very best with more pressing issues, (like the Level 12 collectors and mines. Thank you so much for that!) but this could be mixed in with a bigger update. Like the upgrading of a row of walls, this could help very much.
An option to toggle a confirmation screen for wall upgrades could also help. A slip of the finger could cause 3 million gold to be lost, at town hall 9, while it could cost the same size loss of 4 million at town hall 10 that I mentioned above for the final inferno tower upgrade.
I can't imagine there being any possible downsides to this.
Another idea is to make a small square button on the side of the screen (much like the one for editting your base or viewing achievements) for toggling all of the options mentioned above, along with another:
Font and skins. I would love to have the Halloween and Christmas skins at different points in the year, as well as have different fonts in the game, to experiment. Jokerman, Algerian, and Impact are three fonts that I am sure would be loved.
If you have read through all of this, I thank you. Your patience is greatly appreciated by me. Thank you so much, and I hope that this idea reaches the ears of Supercell's game developers!
