23 Hour Preparation Day! Why? Click Here!

23 Hour Preparation Day


Don't you hate when you are in a back to back war clan and eventually the wars start at 1-5AM your time?
This wont happen anymore with the 23hr Prep Day!


War searches take about 10-20 min, making the wars start later and later.
But if the Prep day is 23hrs, the war will start an hour earlier!

Don't understand how?


Lets say your war ends at 3PM.
You immediately start war search and war is found in 20 min.
It is 3:20 PM.
The next day, the war starts at 2:20 PM.
There you go!

Any questions? Just comment!

Questions asked by other users:

I.. actually find a lot of sense into this idea. It happened way too often to have to pause my war clan for a day to start the wars all over again with like 3h earlier than they got. We always start the wars at around 7PM to give everybody a chance to attack at acceptable hours, but we always end up starting it at 11-12 after few wars. Support.

I fully support this idea. I can stand to lose 1 hour off war prep.

I agree to this. Its not exactly about the timing but it's about how I think we can afford to lose one hour off of preparation.

I agree to this. It would make planning wars a lot easier

Thanks for all the positive replies, maybe if we get enough supercell can implement this!

I agree with everyone who agrees.

Nice idea! This will help planning the war a lot of supercell use this

They should just give an option for war loops that you would auto enter the war search an hour before your current war ends and has the next opentent preselected. Anything to keep the war on a fairly regular schedule

This is a great idea!

I approve of this idea.

Agreed. Nice idea!

there is another way....
start 24h (war preparing) counting from the time you click START WAR

Ever since I read this thread, I also thought about that, but that might be too complicated to achieve. I think changing the 24 into 23 might be the easiest solution to achieve this and also not make SuperCell spend weeks on coding something simple in a complicated way.

This wouldn't work because 2 clans in war against each other don't necessarily start searching at the same time

As for the OP, great thought!! I fully support this idea! You should make a poll:smirk:

I agree with 23 hours timer in order to give Searching the time to do what it needs to do. I like this as it allows a Non-Stop War clan to stay on a regular schedule

While it may be easier on a 10v10 but good luck getting 100 people from potentially across the world to all hit READY within 24 hours. What if you are against an international clan that completes this ready cycle at 4am your clan's time? Waking up to a 60v0 war score is demoralizing to just about anyone...

Supercell made the war timer the way it is to prevent warring too often. Especially relevant now that there are clan perks and XP based on war, they don't want people to be able to farm war XP and spike up in Clan Perks....

Could be interesting, maybe would start the search 15 minute prior to end? Any longer and you risk who ever you were matched with clicking cancel before your war ended. May be too complicated....

I think a simple code change of 24 hours to 23 hours would be sufficient. Shouldn't take long to do, could easily be done with an optional update...

I support the heck outta this idea!! We have wars in our clan starting at 10am that go all the way up to 4 am!

YESSSS.

we have this problem in my clan; we start war as soon as the last one finishes. I now have people sitting out because war is starting later (in the middle of the night) for them, and they don't want to wait 8 hours to attack. Fine by me, but I would LOVE to have a 23 hour prep day so I can have a set time for when war starts, so I don't have to answer the most annoying question in the world!

War ends - 1 min later, "When will war start?"

I would like that too. hope supercell will implement these!

:thumbsup:This would likely be supported by everyone who wars back to back.:thumbsup:

SC won't reduce the total 48 hour war time, as loot payouts are huge, and mean more people buy less gems to cover expenses, meaning lower profits.

I know why people want 23 hour wars, and 'Ready' buttons and whatnot, but for the idea as a whole, I'm going to have to give a :thumbsdown: to the idea

What...? :confused: You can't gem to start war early, so I have no idea what you are referring to here? What are people more gems for and why would the preparation day being cut an hour have anything to do with it?

I think you misunderstood...At that point I was responding to the people who ask for Ready buttons that can be pressed by the leader at any point during the war. The point being here, that after a war, payouts are a 'significant' amount of loot, which may have been else otherwise achieved through buying gems. If you could war more frequently (say war every 36 hours) that will increase the number of payouts, and mean less gems are bought, meaning less $$$$ for SC.

Cutting an hour off war time won't affect it (payouts) by much, but the biggest hurdle is the implementation of it, as it will require suspending all war searches at least an hour prior to the update maintenance break, as otherwise it upset the system, players being eligible for war etc. The upheaval required doesn't justify the benefit IMO.

War search could take more for one clan than another, giving one clan an advantage

I myself have this problem, but because my clan search is when I'm ready to sleep. However for back to back war clans I think this would be a great idea

On the surface, seems like a great idea. However, nobody thinks these ideas through to the next logical step.

If your clan (and everyone else's clan) hits the button at the same time every day, you'll be looking at the exact same pool of opponents for matchmaking every time. THIS WOULD BE BAD.

One of the great things about back-to-back war clans is that they have to stagger their start times, which means they are in the matchmaking pool against different groups of clans (i.e. those clans who are not back-to-back but have regular start schedules).

Ever notice how starting war at certain times of day gets you matched with certain other countries, depending on what time zone you are in and what time you start?

TL/DR: If everyone could easily start at the same time, there would be less variety in matchmaking and the quality of war match-ups would suffer.

---

But if you are staggering, and they are staggering, wouldn't you logically end up at the same place anyways? Since all groups of War Clans searching will all be staggering?

So if your only opposition is that the current system of staggering, ie, war starting later and later, is that it would mix up your match ups, that's pure fallacy based on your assumptions since ALL clans will be staggering.

So whether you stagger at 24 hours or are able to war at exactly 5PM your time every day, you'll end up with the same group of opponents.

At least with 23 hour prep time, if you truly believe in keeping things staggered in order to get different pools of opponents, you are free to do so while those that want to start wars at exactly 5PM each time can!

I find this pointless. Why update? You get 24 hours to attack. There is no need to attack THE SECOND a war starts. So you miss the first couple hours. I find it very hard to believe that EVERY base you can beat will be gone.

I fully support this idea and all supercell would have to do would be change the number 24 to 23 in the code. But they wont because theyre a bunch of lazy people

I love the idea. :D

Great idea. :o

But lots of people like to use war attacks first moment so they can get other things done and not have to worry about doing two attacks.

Yes!!! SC Please make it happens soon!

I agree! Much better than 12 hour war preps which means people in seperate timezones won't have time to prep :smirk:

I like this idea, but if clan found, how about no preparation day? Then that means-- Nobody can ever donate troops, XDXDXD

Would be a separate search that would match up with other clans looking for the same with a preparation time of 12 hours.

/signed this is my favorite idea I've seen on the forums!

Beautiful, beautiful idea. We have the same problem, eventually I end up waiting till the next day so we can start at a better time, it slowly goes from being early afternoon to mid afternoon to late afternoon to evening etc, and it's impossible to stay on schedule.

The clan war still lasts for 24 hours regardless of prep time. Which means if you only or to attack at 3 pm then you will have the opportunity to do that. As well as put troops in the cc during that same preferred time. You'll still attack the base you would if you waited till the final seconds. And you'll still get the same number of stars. I see where you're coming from but at the end of the day it's not worth putting in the time it would take to change the code.

/signed very good idea

If I haven't already, I sign this :smirk: I'm all for it, really easy yet useful fix and no downside. It usually takes our clan about an hour to find a war match, and this would help so much.

Signed...
:smirk::smirk:
But not voting on the poll, want to be able to see the full list of people.

Terrible idea, I need that extra hour because my clan doesn't donate until the last hour of war prep...

Jk 😂 that extra hour is totally pointless, I supprt this 100% 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

No.
There are two russian people in our clan. They are around 8 hours ahead of us. If we start one of our wars at 9:00 pm (we did that) they would have only the awake part of the day to attack.

not quite sure what you're getting at, but war would still be 24 hours, so they'd still be able to attack at any given time in a full day.

I aint going with the crowd on this one. I know its a strange reason, but it is called Prep DAY for a reason!

greatttt!
That would be give a chance to war without delays!
Thanks ! I sign this:thumbsup:

GOOD IDEA ;) i love it then i can attack without having worried too much about work since battle day starts after my work :).

Because in some case donation might be done sooner or at the end if BUSY and time runs out

I'm not voting in the poll, as I don't LOVE it, but it's alright.
I guess it would work, but I'd rather my clan has one day off war a week as a chance to get some regular raiding done.
Just my thoughts :smirk:

23 hours is a simple idea that allows clans to start war at the same time on a recurring basis. I approve.

would it really be called a prep day .-.

Sometimes, for some players, 24 hours of War Prep is too much. My clan is frequently ready to begin attacking within just a few hours of finding a war opponent, and I have discovered that this is true for many other clans as well.

I propose that a feature be added to the game that allows each member of a clan to indicate that they are war-ready, and when each member of BOTH clans declare they are ready, war will commence.
** If a member does not declare they are war-ready within 24 hours, war will begin at the normal time. **

Example (1): War search is complete and an opponent is found; each member of clan A presses the "I'm ready to attack!" button. If all members of clan B are also ready, war will begin.
Exapmle (2): War search is complete and an opponent is found; each member of clan A presses the "I'm ready to attack!" button. Only 50% of clan B have declared they're ready; war will start at the end of the normal 24 hour prep period.

I think that this will keep members of a clan more engaged with one another regarding war, as well as allow clans to war more frequently. I think that it will also allow an increase in individual responsibility and leadership.

I would like this feature. I think 24 hrs is long enough to train your troops many many times...
Selecting an option to start the war is a great idea

I think you should create a poll for this. I would say Yes to a we're ready for war check box.

This will give everybody a chance to do more wars. Also, I think that once a team has won all stars, the losing team should be able to admit defeat and drop out.

Let's move on, we've lost the war and don't stand a chance option.

I find this idea very useful, would be nice if they put it into the game :)

Great idea! I have to start wars early to end the week starting wars at a reasonable time. Because we have international players, the loss of several hours can change our attack plans as some players will be unavailable at certain hours. This solution should help make up for the loss of time while searching for war opponents.

This is a very much needed idea!! We do back to back war and even due to time delays for maintenance have had to cancel wars due to the time.

Please do that for the october update supercell

Polls is closed else I would have voted yes. 22 hours would make it perfect, sometimes you need time to choose who to include in war, and discuss with leadership on that

this would fix that

totally support this!

Great idea. Pausing a whole day of war is annoying. And your reasoning is spot on!

being a co-leader.. I FULLY SUPPORT THIS IDEA..

Can we get an option to bypass prep day? Or shorten it?

This is a great idea and allows clans who do back to back wars stay on schedule!

---

I've had same problem many times as well. This is a great idea

This needs to be implemented. Great idea. Very easy fix to an annoying issue.

I think this is a perfect idea for time planning clans like my third user one. We always want to do war every day light. I mean we start for our times at 6 pm to have war every day. And the war partnering will make it more off every time we try to start one right after, I think you get my point. So yes, support this:D

What about a sheduled war?
U can chose the day(s) u want Or even continuously war with the time u want to start (maybe have fixed times like on the hour - Or every second - to have better matches and less differences between the clan strenght). Once sheduled u can stop it like 2 hours before or something like that

this would solve lots of problems and bring some nice effects like stable time and fairness but costs flexibility which i personally dont need in this point

just my idea to that. Not sure if worth an own thread but now i put it in here

Love the idea. I'd love to have this. Especially in a serious war clan!

I hate losing a war day because of SuperCell patches which also push the clan war time back even further.

A 23 Hour War Prep would be awesome !

:thumbsup:

I really like the idea, especially when your in a clan in a different time zone

P.S. This is my 500th post. Doesn't seem like that though

im agree, this is good idea

At first I thought cause there's 24 hrs in a day not 23 lol, but then after reading your suggestion it's actually really good and I agree

Congratulations!!!

Your wish was heard loud and clear.23 Hour preparation day it is.

It's finally here! Congrats

But that presents another problem. Many of us count on that delay so that we have time to get off of work/school, get dinner, kids to bed, etc. to then get in the final attacks.
I like this offset but PLEASE include an extension on the other end also! Making war day 26-28 hours long would be ideal for my clan.

Your wish came true. :cool:

Pls pls go with this idea!
It's the best idea.
It's sickening in international clans where wars go into midnight 12am to 4am
With this update, we can all come to a universal acceptable time in our clan and it'll be GREAT.
pls go for it :D

Love the idea of an auto search option during the last 30 minutes of war. Might also be cool if each clan could have the option of selecting "We're Ready" and the war could start when both sides pushed that button (or at the usual 24 or 23 hours if both sides have not selected that option).

I has happened btw :)

Congratulations to the OP for implemented idea! Clearly shows supercell does read us!

I like the idea mentioned earlier about both team leaders being able to agree for early war day start if both finish prep early. I also think that it would be awesome for both leaders to be able to surrender and accept enemy surrender early as well. Sometimes we are really badly beaten after 5hrs or so, sometimes with bad war mismatch, with no chance of winning. It would be good to surrender and move on.. But obviously enemy would have to accept surrender to make it fair for them to finish their war attacks.

This allows farming clans to abuse the system and gain massive amounts of loot in no time.

The I'm ready one is a really good idea. But it would be better if you reposted this into the forum.
the surrender part, potentially could be bad. As if you get matched up with a clan that you are confident of going against, then they can leave and you lose out. Unless there was an automatic win clause if the opponents do this.

Yeah, I suppose clans that have figured out how to stack there war matchup in their favour, could benefit, and probably would encourage farming war behaviour....
Re other clan leaving when you think you have a good chance of win.... I was thinking of both clans agreeing before surrender is finalised. That way you don't lose out if other team surrenders early.

This is a good idea

After last update, there is no need for preparation day, since we can not scout the opponent's war bases. We could do more wars without preparation day. The only need of PD is for donations to clan castles but 1 day is too long, i think 2-4 hours would be enought, or we could full our own castles only at clan wars.
If you dont agree with the previus suggestion, at least do it 23h so we dont lose a day when the begginig goes at midnight.
When clan leaders start war search, they could have an option setting the minimum preparation time they need, and matchmaking match them with clans that need equal time or more

Since we can no longer see the enemies war base, I don't see the need for a full prep day. My clan would like to see it shortened to 12 hours

It is already 23 hrs yupi

http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...reparation-day

Check this idea... So every clan can choose how long they want for preparation day!

This is a great idea but honestly we could afford to lose more than an hour off of preparation maybe even just get 18 hours for preparation. My clan gets ccs filled shortly after the war is declared and we have to wait to start. Also if all players attack on both sides war should just end.

This idea is great I hate going to war when it's 3 am like who does that?

*me* Oh boy 3 am time to go to war
