Your server issues just cost my clan its clan war. It also cost both of my accounts the gems spent on boosting barracks. This is unacceptable.

It sucks for you, but it's just one of those things. Are you sure this cost you the war, or you just wishing to find someone/thing to blame? :rolleyes:Quote:

You said it. He had 24 hours. Not 23.5 and he is not wrong for operating under that assumption.Quote:

Ahh yup, you have a fair complaint, you may have had a decent chance to pull it back. On the other hand they other clan may have had some people having the same issue. TBH I wouldn't even submit a ticket, I would just write it off as one of those annoying things that happen.Quote:

:confused: I was still raiding, after getting frozen I just restarted. Or did it affect clan wars differently?
I have also been experiencing the same problems as yourself, just not in the same circumstances. I'm sorry your last very useful and sometimes most valuable attacks at the end were wasted because of this...
Sadly server based games do this. A lot. It's unacceptable, but sometimes unavoidable. Lets hope SC sort this problem out quick for others who are at this and other critical stages.
The gems things sucks and they should refund those. And it cost you the chance to win the war, there is no guarantee in a fight unless it's something like a th10 rolling and th7 or lower. If that's the situation you were in then I'm sorry for you.Quote:

Saving a strong attack until the last minutes of war is a good strategy in a close war. Maybe you just need to 3 star an easy TH8 to gain an extra star to win. Maybe you need to 2 star that tough TH10 to tie. Sucks when you lose because this way.
Ahhh classic supercell forums
User makes complaint about a problem.
Supercell's cheerleaders run in to attack the guy and insult him, hoping that one day the mods will notice their brown nosing and reward them with gems.
Yep, I don't understand the strategy in purposely attacking at the very end of the war. Could somebody please explain it to me?Quote:

Better luck next time.
I don't get it either...it's not like the enemy bases are going to change near the end of the war if you wait. Your chance of getting those stars is the same whether you do it at the beginning or the end, same for enemy attacks on you. Why would the fact you 3 starred the enemy base earlier than later affect how the enemy could in turn 3 star your base? I always attack right away because I like to get it done and over with, and I don't see any reason to wait.Quote:

With this mentality our wars are usually over in the first 3 hours or so..
We war once a week so I need to use both attacks to put my queen or king down so I can have them for the next war.
If anything attacking earlier is better as once there is a difference in score they may subconsciously think they are going to lose and not invest the time and effort into a raid they don't think would even make a difference and wouldn't even give them loot.
But besides the point, 24 hours to raid means 24 hours. Its obviously SCs fault here but nothing to be done about it really. They have already apologised and will not compensate you.
Yes, servers definitely suck at times. It's just the interweb world we live in. But LOL at people saying he had 23.5 other hours to knock out attacks. Knock out 8 hours from that day due to work (assuming he/she works full time) and another hour to a few hours to commute to/from work. Then add in 6-7 hours of sleep. At the max said OP is offline for up to 18 of those hours, which leaves him 6 hours to spend time with family, eat, watch TV or whatever. Just perhaps, that small window that he has, is the only window he really has to attack. Not everybody is gemming barracks for 8 hours a day.
So you wait for everyone to attack so that you don't have to do any heavy lifting.Quote:

Don't need to be a cheerleader to understand that networks, servers, and isp's go down. Your childish views on things are cute though keep them up.Quote:

So everyone is like this? Narrow minded much.. Leave the thread if you're going to be a nuisance.Quote:

2. SuperCell are 100% in control of their servers ( Well.. Kind of. But they should know when there are issues ), and it is their responsibility to sort their servers problems out. No ifs and no buts.
3. Not everyone can be online at any given time to do their war attacks. They have work/family/aaaaany other issue that is more important than your mobile phone app. If they only have 20 minutes to log on and attack, they only have 20 minutes.
4. It's whine, not wine.
5. Indeed nobody wants to go on global. But sometimes, just sometimes, they have to.
6. Not everyone who saves their attacks till last minute, are people who don't pull their weight. In fact, again it is a very common and useful strategy.
So.. Ya know....
i am not a fan of it, but my current clan's top attackers attack during the last 2 hours if possible.Quote:

So let me guess when you wait to the end and realize you can't win you probably don't even attack anyway because its "not worth it" ..give me a break..if you attack and 3 -2 star who your suppose to it does not matter.
This isn't opinion its fact.
♥♥♥♥
It works 100% of the time..I hit #1 and 2 ..my number 2 hits 3 and 4 ..everyone else does there job and we win..so thank you for admiring our strat..the war is over in 3.5 hoursQuote:

Of course it does, on the forums. 😏Quote:

i don't like to shoulder such responsibility, so i almost always attack my opponent's number 1 and 2 as fast as possible to avoid such responsibility.
The "Clean up" thing is a pretty valid strategy, but in my opinion the more important thing is to make the opponent think that our clan has given up the war and will not attack so that they don't have the will to make a big lead while they actually can (wasted their attack on free loot since they are sure they are going to win), while at the last moment we (like 5-10 people) attack together at the last moment making a sudden comeback.
this win would not have achieved if my clan did not do last moment attack, since the opponent will always try to make a comeback whenever we make a comeback.
do you understand mr Einstein?
Don't worry, e v e r y o n e else gets it lol.Quote:

We steamroll through the clan ...now catch up and try to take it from us.
Why would we wait to beat you down..we go out and take it.. Most clans either quit or make a pathetic comeback.
Oh well.
It's great that your strategy works.Quote:

Im not trying to trick anyone. Im making sure my clanmates are able to cover their targets. You're now arguing a different thing, than you attacked me for. Make up your mind. Otherwise stop trolling.Quote:

No they are not in control of them at all times. Even if they ran their own dedicated servers there are still issues that could arise. Educate yourself before you such claims.
If you don't have that much free time why even play this game? You won't progress with that litle amount of time, you also won't get both attacks in without spending gems. Seems like a moot point that has nothing to do with this thread.
Again of course it's a strategy you can choose to use, but it comes with risks so you can't really complain when a problem arises. It's no ones fault but your own if you choose that strategy and can't get your attacks in for whatever reason. It's not like this is a common occurence, in fact their servers have a pretty relatively high uptime with no problems compared to a lot of other large scale games.
We had something similar happen to us several months ago. We were up 6 with a half dozen attacks left, then we were all locked out in the last 15 minutes of the war. Unfortunately for us, the other clan was not. We ended up losing by 1.
Customer support told us sorry for the inconvenience, clash on!
Gee, thanks.
Unlucky, but if you'd attacked in the previous 23h30min maybe the result would've gone your way
