Lowering the time searching for an opponent by 6 times

I just came across a thread pointing out something that has always bothered me and many others I have met on the game. A lot of the time playing CoC is consumed by searching for villages you can attack. The higher you go in trophies and leagues the longer time you spend on looking for a village you can imagine yourself having a chance of defeating. This results in countless hours not actually playing the game but just tapping the "Next" button.

Here's a simple solution in order to decrease that time. To make it simple see the image bellow:

Basically what you do is you show a preview of 6 villages at a time. In my example above I have only included number of won/lost trophies when attacking each village but in this screen you can also add amount of available resources as well as other relevant information. From this screen the player can tap on a village and open up a live preview of the chosen village. In the new pop up preview the player has an "Attack" button in the bottom center position for starting the attack and a "X" button in the upper right corner for closing the live preview and going back to the list of available villages.

Pros with this change:
- Obviously less time searching for the right base to attack
- If trophy pushing you are shown 6 different trophy options available for winning rather than one at a time
- By adding the "Attack" button it will no longer be an issue of mistakenly attacking a player you were not intending to attack (which I can imagine has been suggested many times)

Cons:
- It will make it possible for players to advance faster in the game since they can find attackable bases faster

So please do discuss how this suggestion could work in practice, if you see other problems with a such change and maybe how to solve those.

93 Trophies for an offer? How big are your whales? :smirk: Not as big as my Grand Oak Trees, that's for sure.

On a serious note, I like this idea, and would be ok for someone like me, only at Crystal League. However, searches would take 6x as long if it was 6 bases to 1 person. However, 6 people could get access to each set of 6 bases, and then it would act as sort of like a first come first server system, where if 1 person chose to attack a base, then the other 5 would be able to see that that base is under attack and therefore be unable to attack it themselves.

However, if my idea was adapted to this, the nexting cost should stay the same, as you will still be able to only attack a maximum of 1 base for every 1000 gold you spend.

This is daft.
Not only can you not see how much loot there is, you can't see if it is in collectors or storages.
A big NO from me.

I don't think you read the whole post, you just looked at the picture. That's just an example of how it could look.

(Also for the sake of others don't quote the entire main post ;) )

Haha I was waiting for someone to notice that ;)

Very good point, maybe "grey out" a base you get up in your list if someone else starts attacking that same base.

The cost is something I haven't taken in consideration, 6k was just something I put in, but I'd guess Supercell probably have their own formulas to use to come up with a logical cost so it doesn't affect the game negatively :)

Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem like this speeds ANYTHING up. I still have to look at each of the 6 bases. The search tool still has to find me 6 matches to display. If anything it would take me longer because if base #1 is good I'd just attack it today. With this idea if base #1 is good, I have to look at bases 2-5 just to make sure they aren't better. So 1 out of every 6 times the speed is the same (when I pick the last base to attack), and for all other iterations it takes me even longer (when I pick a base that isn't the last one and end up looking at more bases than I would have otherwise).

How on earth from an image that small are you ever going to be able to tell where the loot is on a base?
You'll still need to go and look at all the bases anyway, so it will be slower, not faster.

I believe this idea won't solve the problem. This will actually make search times even longer. You will have to search six times as long for bases. I do not understand how this will make searching for a base faster.

This would not help anything as the actual search times of finding bases are not sped up.
