Revenge : Show if shield is active or not

I NEVER use revenge because:
Whenever you want to revenge you prepare a suitable army, an expensive one specially designed to beat the often higher level enemy. Then you press the button and get (98% of the time) user has a shield or user is online.
Result: You throw your full dragon army on to an enemy that's worth 1/10 of the cost of your army ... pure loss and tears.
Revenge has a very bitter taste because it cost me 10x more than I got out of it.
Waste of my time and actually the guy who attacked you stole twice from you ... where's the revenge in that.

If you want to improve the game and ask me about priority, fix this before anything else.

I don't want a timer to see when the shield will go down, but at least show us that you can or can't revenge.
There's still the chance that someone else was before you since you need to build your army and that takes time.
You'll probably even sell gems because you want to accelerate your barracks ... this is a win-win situation guys.

suggested so many times. look at the results of the previous suggestions.

I doubt gems sales will go up because of this. But I admire your audacity to entice the developers.

An indicator on if someone is attackable is ruled out by Supercell. It is a gameplay thing. I guess they want you to click/tap each time, plus have a risk of losing your shield while checking.

Also, take it from me, never attack purely on emotions. You will never get what you want out of it if you do. It takes patience and a bit of luck, but depending on how often you get attacked, you have a week or more to find the right time to hit. So use that time.

Well if even an indicator is ruled out (I checked the list and didn't see this specifically) then one thing is sure, I'm going to completely forget about revenge. Can I then propose another feature request: an option to remove the revenge feature from the game (in options), I find it's presence extremely annoying.

It is listed as "Revenge list indicate online/shielded or currently attackable without having to click each person’s button" in the sticky thread. :(

I've made a similar thread before, lasted for a couple pages of activity before someone bothered to look up the ruled out list and break the news.

Best method is just make an army, and go down the list, as if it were a free 'Next' button search. Checking every now and then through out the day usually yields something when you have 25-30 people on your list, with some of them worth attacking. There are some times when many of them just are open! As if they all dropped shields at the same time for a short while! People have habits, and if you are gunning for a specific person, poke the revenge button every now and then to just to check loot amounts and if they are attackable. Pressing the revenge button does not force you to attack, you can still back out of it.

I've seen it in the "graphical interface related" section °-°, what's it doing there, "battle related" would be much better.
Any idea why it's ruled out? When I'm browsing through my victims in find a match they are all on-line. I find revenge without knowing if the user has shield or is on-line much more risky than normal attacks, if you make the calculations you'd never want to use the revenge button, way more expensive than "find a match". This revenge button costs me on average 200000 elixir in troops that I can't use, usually dragons for the thrash bin, does that sound painful to you?

Also if this feature request has come up so often then there's definitely something very wrong with this feature.

Thanks for the info Warren, I appreciate.

Anyway if this is the way it is I'll continue pretending this feature doesn't exists.
I'll just forget about it again, it just came up again because someone stole quit a bit and ... euh I wanted a revenge.
I still want that button to remove the revenge button from the game :-)

Today I'll be sitting on my dragons and clicking every 5 minutes for 12 hours.
Hell maybe this guy bought a 7day shield, who knows. I probably won't get my revenge and he'll beat me twice.

Wat are talking about? Revenge is the best. I Cook armies wen shield is down and go in. If shield is up by the time ur armies is cooked. Then tuff luck. But an enemy attacked u twice?.......i dont think so....

Once because he attacked me, a second time because I can't attack him with my very expensive full dragon army that I'll probably give away to my clan mates.

There is some reason I came to awhile back... but I can't remember the details. :facepalm: Was arguing about server load and how it would reduce the need to give so much data from visits and repeatedly pressing the button. (revenge and gameplay are also keywords that could help you find my post)

I pretty much knew early on that revenge attacks would use a large amount of Elixir, and so just used it to reclaim, or steal, Dark Elixir from people that attacked, while also practicing with my dragons for Clan Wars. Gold was also a nice bonus as well when raiding, but normally isn't the most efficient way to get it.

I obviously get some enjoyment from it, since it does vent some frustration when seeing other issues with the game. Yesterday I posted about a person raiding me, and how stupid the situation was, since such attacks are strongly encouraged by the game. Later I troll raided back, getting back my DE, with extra DE, while making the attack sting by not giving a shield after the raid. (really need a "don't steal Dark Elixir, or else..." sign)

Anyway like I said then, and before, much of the issue with revenge attacks being hard to do (along with other issues) is that gameplay for defence sucks, period. People counter this suck-age as best they can, but in turn cause a cascade of other issues, and one of them is making revenge attacks near impossible for the average experienced player.
