Switching accounts, Player profile, Training troops, Troop request notification
Supercell has been doing a great job with a regular streak of exciting updates to troops and game-play. I hope the future updates will introduce some interface tweaks and additional features such as:
1) Switching accounts
Many players have two or three clash accounts and it's all fun when you have a separate device for each account. But not everybody has more than one device to play clash on. Therefore, to encourage players who wish to have multiple accounts (it's also good for Supercell since players will buy more gems), there needs to be a convenient way to switch clash accounts on the same device. On Android at present, we tap on the settings cog wheel, tap on disconnect, tap on disconnect again, then choose the other account from the menu that opens up, ignore the warning that says you might lose all progress on the logged-in account, key in the word CONFIRM in capitals, and press OK. You will find it very difficult to do if you need to switch accounts a few times a day.
2) In-game player profile with player description
We might have a username that might be difficult to type for others or they might not be able to read it at all since usernames can be in other languages like Arabic and Chinese too. If there is a player description box on the player profile, a player might add a name he would like others to address him with. Besides a name, there are a few other things a player might like to add here (all optional, of course):
· Name he wants to use with his username (Eg: HanzoXFactor is Matt)
· Age
· Time-zone (helps other clan members to know when the player is likely to be active)
· Languages he speaks
· Kik, Whatsapp, Facebook username (very helpful when you need to communicate)
· Since when he has been on Clash (if he remembers)
3) Troop training presets with customization (I'm sure this has been requested before)
Most of us often use a particular army for a length of time – a certain number of archers, barbarians, giants etc. It would be very helpful if we can tap on one single button to get the barracks going instead of having to queue up each unit in each barrack every time. Players can be given three slots into which they can customize one specific army each and can train any of them by tapping on the desired slot.
4) Offline notifications for troop requests
We already get offline notifications about an upgrading being completed or a clan war coming to an end. We also need an offline notification for when someone requests troops. One of our buddies might be in need of troops for his war attack and we may not be online to see his troop request. In that case, the troop request notification will prompt someone to log in and donate troops.
Thank you, Supercell, in advance.
Private messaging ability within clan
This can be another useful feature.
Often co-leaders find a need to leave a message for someone. Although there is a clan mail option, there is a limit to it both in terms of number of characters allowed in a mail as well as the number of mails. And clan chat won't help much either in this matter since a player often has to scroll down looking through a long chat record to find if there is any message for him or he might miss it altogether if the message has gone beyond the visible chat log. Besides, the co-leaders might need to say something specific to specific members, such as assigning targets to attack in a clan war.
In such cases, the ability to send and reply to private messages will greatly help the co-leaders in their clan management work.
Difficult to switch account on Android
I have two account on android. When I switch one account to another account I have to type "CONFIRM" (all are capital letter). I think it is very annoying. Supercell please just put a confirm button, I do not want to type anything when I switch between my accounts.
