3 updates that I am pretty sure everyone could agree would make the game better

First off, I am new to the forum (this is my first post!), and so please forgive me if this is misplaced, mis-categorized, or is repeating what others have already said.

As everyone waits in anticipation for the October update, there are plenty of great ideas and speculations floating around. The nature of most of these speculations are "game changing" and pivotal to the long term success of the game (i.e, TH11, hero updates, heroes active during war whilst upgrading, spell updates, etc). This post is not about "those" kinds of updates. Rather, there are 3 subtle and minor changes that I don't see how anyone could disagree that it would make a better gaming experience overall.

Ok, here they are:

1. When our attacks get "disconnected" (especially during war), cause the attack to go "on hold" for a 2 or 3 minute "grace period", allowing the attacker to log back on and resume the attack at the exact moment it got disconnected. I know what some of you are thinking: "Get a better internet connection you idiot!" But, it seems to me that it isn't just me that this "occasionally" happens to. It probably happens to me once out of every 20 attacks. But it also seems to happen to everyone in my clan every so often too. I could be mistaken, but COC seems to be more susceptible to disconnects than other apps.

I would at least implore Supercell to perform some analytical analysis on disconnects--how often do disconnects happen, amongst which groups, and when they happen to see if this is worth justifying outside of this measly little post. Of course, I may be one of only a fraction of other players that this happens to on a semi-consistent basis. But somehow I doubt it. Can anyone attest?

2. Give players credit for filling war castles by including them in the "Troops Donated" count. When evaluating which clan members are donating their fair share of troops, there is currently zero visibility as to who has donated to the war castles. I see no reason this should be the case. War castle donations are just as important, if not more important than 'regular' donations. There are always 2 or 3 individuals who end up filling all the war castles and get zero credit for doing so. Is there a rationale for this? I don't see how there possibly could be. If anything, those filling war castles should get just as much credit if not more, since their donations contribute to the well being of the whole clan. In addition, giving credit to war castle fillers will encourage others to particpate.

3. This goes hand in hand with #2....Provide a log of who donated to you and what they donated (perhaps with a 24 hour rolling history). I am sure many of you can relate to the frustration you experience when you see a request that says "Max Golem for war please" and you then see that their CC is filled with 6 out of 30 spaces. Or, you go to fill the war castles and occasionally find that someone has taken it upon their self to donate wall breakers. Maybe 5 or 10 new people are in the clan, and all are silent as to whether they are guilty. It is extremely aggravating when people blatantly ignore what is requested, but what is possibly more aggravating is that there is almost zero visibility on who donated what. Unless you are staring at your screen at the time someone donates to you, you have no idea who it was. There should be some modicum of transparency to those who donate.

Thoughts?

I think all 3 of these would be great additions to the game.

Thode Ideas seem good, but all I want in the ClashCon Update is being able to use Upgrading Heroes in War.

And Town Hall eleven of course.

Possible clan. Spacing upgrade, like 75 people In a clan? I myself have been with people for 2 years and none want to go anywhere, but we have no space left for people who want to join, making it difficult to find new recruits, maybe even adding clan upgrade as a clan perk? Just a suggestion

I agree 100%. In fact, I would rather this update than all 3 of the ones I mentioned above.

From SuperCell's perspective, they have to be thinking "If we do this, that will reduce the # of gems people buy". Al Contraire. It will ENCOURAGE more particpation. When people opt out of war, they start slacking. Everyone in my clan who opts out of war because their heros are upgrading seem to go idle and are seemingly losing interest. At the end of the day, that is LESS interest and therefore LESS revenue for SuperCell.

All those suggestions sound good to me and I would like them to be implemented!
But there is one other side you habe to recognize: All those suggestions take up much memory on the CoC servers, because for 1) The state of the battle has to be saved like every second, sure thats not more data than a replay, but considering a few million player that makes a huge difference! The same counts for idea 2) and 3), so its kinda questionable wether they are gonne be implemented due to resource restrictions.

I see your point but I'm not sure I agree, unless at the end of the day performance is impacted. Replays are already logged down to the second, so it would just be a matter of "flagging" those replays that were disconnected. They are already logged. Donations should be the same. They have to be cached somewhere for sure. If there is some kind of memory issue, then it would still be ok to limit it to a number of hours.

1. So long as it isnt exploitable, I'm fine with it... But they would probably have to get rid of the 'view battle' feature.

2. Only the people with the best troops should be putting troops in the war cc. You don't want everyone to contribute unless you have a th9+ war clan. I really doubt many of them are experiencing the issues you lay out....so really the feature isn't needed. You want recognition for filling war cc? Why? To stroke your ego? Who cares... I have filled most of my war cc without a peep. Why? I wanna win wars and I am willing to spend whatever I need to to win those wars. Don't feel the same way? Then maybe you should let someone else fill them. I won't stroke your ego...
2b. If you have five new people and WB show up in your war cc, tell them if it happens again they are all getting kicked. It won't happen again. If it does, kick em all. There are millions of new people. No really, millions of em. You will find more.

3. If someone gives you the wrong troop, tell your clan leader who it was. Just do it in chat. Call out the little basshead. If people keep getting called out, they will stop or get kicked... Sometimes it is an accident though. I have misclicked before, and I'm sure everyone has. Make sure you can tell the difference.

As amazing as 1 would be, it would also be impossible on a device like these. Even computers would struggle to have a feature like this on their games.
