Defensive one time only use...

So, I have been thinking of possible cool things that would make the game different for me. One of the ideas that I have had in my head for a few months now was this... (not sure if anyone has ever posted about this before.)

Now that we are able to watch live raids and watch us being destroyed on defense. I think it would be cool that if you actually log in to watch the defense you should get a one time thwart spell or button. So say you are watching and you see that they are about to lightning you DE! No one likes that when they come along and do that, so you can use the thwart spell and wham they get blocked. You can only use it once on your active attack and only can pick one structure to save. This allows both players to interact with the attack and you are not sitting there just watching everything go down.

The way I thought of this idea was when we had the x-bow glitch. You never knew if the bows were correct so you ended up surprised. Either you adapted or you lost. Like I said at the beginning I am not sure if anyone has suggested this, but I think it could be fun! Have a great day!

I don't think the logging in and watching the attack as it happens is actually happening at that very moment. I believe what SC done is gave the capability of a replay while the attack is occurring by sending the deployment data to your screen. So the attack may be happening 1 or 2 seconds earlier than you are actually watching.

I think, to implement some kind of real time reaction would or may cause lag since this game may not be designed for real time pvp action.

Yes, this has been suggested before also.

Fixed.

Yes, there is a lot of lag that is happen in the game. I don't quite understand how it's actually happening, but one possibility is that you aren't logging in and watching [insert Your in-game-name] being attack as if it were a war replay. This is can be assumed because there was/is a glitch where after you watch a live replay, you see [insert Your in-game-name] instead of "You" in clan-chat and global chat. Moreover, you can mute and report yourself on global due to this glitch.

I think you aren't being logged in because it would interfere with the attacker. Since they cannot attack someone who is online, you cannot be online. So, yes, most likely they are just sending you replay data that arrives a little late. There is too much lag in between that would have to be cut out for the small chance you are watching and want to w♥♥♥♥ their lightning away. To remove the time in between there would have to be too much optimization that I don't think SC wants to spend their months to implement this, even if their game will be faster as a side effect.

The most we could get to interacting right now is if the attacker was shown a message:Defender is watching you destroying his/her village. This could serve as an ominous foreshadowing of revenge, but other than this I don't think we will get any more interactive than this.

So, LAGGGGGG
therefore, no.

Cheers.
Btw, the GFX in your wig is amazing. :)

Blocked Idea... very common. Has come up many times...

Thanks Emerald.
