My Comprehensive List of Feature Requests
Below is an overview of all feature requests I have. I have been playing for a decent amount of time and have come to have an intimate understanding of this excellent game. I enjoy seeing the updates Supercell comes up with (mostly, lol) but I have a few of my own. My ideas solely focus on game-play as I will leave coming up with new stuff to the experts in Finland ;)
I am aware that a few of these have been brought up before, but I include them for the sake of completeness for my thoughts; I am very OCD like this! XD
- Player look-up and a Favorite/Friends List - This would not have to include the dreaded PM ability so often brought up, and could even be on an opt-in/opt-out basis, but it would do wonders for keeping tabs on members who have left for other clans for a while or just to find and invite people who are otherwise ghosts (no way to find.) The friend list, if made both ways, could include a PM ability to make for easier in-game communication with folks who aren't in your clan at the moment. As per the "dozens of people with the same name" problem, everyone has a unique tag now similar to clans...
- Communication/Text Entry Revamp - Typing on CoC sucks, nuf said.
- Clan Max Troop List - A section on the clan page similar to that on a profile indicating the highest level of each troop a clan has to offer. Helpful when considering a clan or seeing if someone in your own clan has what you need.
- Kicking and Promoting from Clan Chat - Simplifies promotions and makes kicking 10x faster in case of an emergency. I know this one is old, so I have no idea why it hasn't been done yet...
- Move Entire Base -As said, I am very OCD. Many times, I have built a base and then realized that the whole thing is off-center and end up rebuilding it or painstakingly moving everything a tile or two. Sometimes you might want to build a corner base without having to work outward from the corner, this would just be an all around helpful feature for the layout editor.
- Online Indicator on Clan Page - Self-explanatory. If privacy is somehow a concern, make it on an opt-in basis. But seriously, how much personal information is gleaned from knowing if someone is online???
- Reduced Clan Mail Cool-Down - Another "oldie but goodie!" Even if Supercell increases the message size, it is still often times necessary to send more than one message in a short amount of time. Even if this is just for the leader, it would be a great help. Another (perhaps better) solution would be to grant a X number of messages per week or season, something like 20/wk for the Leader and 15/wk for Co-Leaders (as opposed to the current 14/wk) Spamming leaders would simply lose their clan, so this would be self-correcting.
- Fix for War Base Troop Issues - See my other thread on this topic for more info...
- Client-Side War Attacks - I know what you're thinking: "This was just fixed to prevent ghosting!" Believe me, I love the ingenious fix introduced recently, but what I am suggesting would work in tandem with it. While in the past, you could sincerely start an attack, lose connection and have a chance to retry if the drop was before you deployed troops, that is no longer the case. I have been screwed by this both on Wi-Fi and an excellent LTE signal. A simple fix would allow for the attack to be run client-side once the attack has been confirmed and registered on the server. Then if a connection loss occurred, the server would be updated with the client's version of events in the attack. The moment the connection is interrupted, a freeze on the battle would occur for anyone watching with an indication that connection to the client was lost. There would then be a short time (5min or so) for the player conducting the attack to reconnect and allow their attack to sync up and override the server's version. During this break, no one else could attack the base for obvious reasons. Boom! A fix that prevents ghosting and accidental failures at the hands of a brief connection loss:D
- Cancel All Troops - This is a multi-faceted request. I'd like to see the ability to stop all troops training in one or all of the barracks for when you need to switch gears quickly. Going hand-in-hand with this would be the ability to dismiss all troops from camps and CC with a single stroke.
I will attempt to keep this list updated as fixes occur (sure hope the do) or as more awesome ideas come my way!
