Permanent replay slots viewable under one's Profile

Hi SuperCell,

Can each player be afforded 'permanent replay slots' that would be viewable in his Profile? The idea is to preserve memorable defenses, attacks or milestones that a clasher wants to store permanently. I think three slots would be enough. A top 3 highlight section if you will.. :o

I personally think it is nice to be able to look at the time I raided a 800k-800k base, or maybe my first ever Inferno kill, or when I was attacked by a top 200 player.

This would also serve to be good when reviewing members trying to join a clan. We can view their top 3 highlights!! Maybe a clan can say in their description that they want to see a person using GoWiPe or LavaLoonions... etc

I understand this would require server space. You can maybe charge gems for each slot. Or have it be unlockable at Th8 and above (1 slot= th8, 2 slots th9, 3 slots th10) I am sure you can find a way to justify/monetize the strain this would put on your server storage.

Thanks for a great game and more power to you!

This is a freaking awesome idea 💯💯💯💯 support

+1, some clans want to see replays of the new members to see if they can attack or not.

This would be awesome! Great idea man!

Amazing idea, nothing like a bit of gloating. Would love to showcase me destroying people who zap me or people who get wrecked by CC troops:cool:

Thanks for the support guys. I really think this would be really cool. I hope more people comment with feedback and I hope Supercell takes notice. If there are any objections, I'd love to hear about those too.

just record it, the amount of storage needed to do this would be disgusting

The replays do not work this way. They are not videos.

They are instead text files that describe where each troop was dropped and what not and then in game assets are used to show the replay.

Ever wonder why they wipe all the replays after a maintenance? It's to make sure that there is no chance of a replay being altered by any spur of the moment in game fixes they do (like altering the dps or hp of a unit).

This sounds like a good idea, but dahimi is right. (Shoot dahimi is always right)

I agree the storage needed would be substantial. That is why I am asking Supercell to monetize it to make it worth their while. Just speaking for myself, I would happily pay 1000 gems for 1 replay slot.

I gladly wouldnt. Unless you have money to burn, it's a waste of time. I've never had a replay I've wanted to keep that badly.

Thanks for the feedback. If they can't translate whatever format the replays are stored as into a media file, then maybe we can just select from the current crop of replays from that maintenance period. Meaning once there is an upgrade or what not, then the current replays you have in your profile would be wiped as well. I'd settle for that if that is the best that can be done.

What about if it was free?

Possibly, but only if the storage space it took up was small.

Translating to a media file would be extraordinarily difficult. The only practical method would be to somehow have the device record the screen during playback. However, I don't think the API will permit that (at least on apple devices) as doing so would likely result in huge breaches of privacy. It'd also be ridiculous trying to share these as you'd be asking folks to download a full video file.

Assuming you could get past all that you also have the issue of recording on different devices with different resolutions and trying to play them back.

What you suggest about simply allowing you to save replays until the next maintenance could work, but I don't think very many people would pay for it. I also don't think at that point it would add enough to the game for them to really bother with it.

+1

I really like this idea. I have had attacks before that I wanted to keep to show to friends. Having others members being able to see these replays is even better! As was already stated by other players, being able to have these replays to show clan leaders to prove you can actually attack effectively would be nice.
