Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[zerihal]

Here is an idea on the concerns of those who will copy a war base and practice on it with there team mates during the 2 days of the prep and war times.

What about not alowing the Friendly Battle option once war has been declared?

I think this would be a sensible idea. Sure, there might be some who would jump to another clan to try and get the practice attacks in for war, or use second accounts elsewhere, but for the majority it would likely make it more effort and difficulty than it is worth.

I am hopeful there will be some limitations on it. If not then war is going to lose a lot of it's excitement.

Put another way, a professional baseball player is allowed to take batting practice as long as he/she wants. The pitching coach or whoever will gladly throw batting practice all day, or they'll hire a machine to do it. But, this is not the same as facing Jake Arietta or Clayton Kershaw in a live game. There is also no way on God's green Earth that Kershaw or Arietta would be made available to throw batting practice the day before the big game.

I hope there is no limitation, this game needs to stop catering to hardcore players and bring back the light fun game that everyone used to enjoy.

A game that just focuses on the hardcore player, pushes everyone else out and make the game no longer fun.

Very happy to see something happen to the game to make it more social and helpful to players who just want to have fun with friends and family win or lose.

This is a great solution!

Make it so that bases that are made within the last 48 hours cannot be practiced on. good strategy

edit: wait no, this would suck because if you find a flaw in your base and change it, it cant be practiced on

The only solution is a 24-48 cool down in which a newly built base cannot be used in a practice attack.

Making something, "right" isn't necessarily catering to the "hardcore" player, whatever that means.

since you cant copy traps from enemy war bases, i dont see any problem with this.

[AlexanderCND]

Great post op

[rv4]

watch one replay, theres the traps.

Hmm, this might have serious teeth...



To have someone practice an attack against it, yes.



Ehh, I disagree here. I'd much rather have it be no exceptions to the rule, then I/many can feel comfortable that no edge is being gained. We're talking about friendly challenges. It's okay to wait 47 hours in order to friendly attack it in my mind.

I'd think it best to not get into the debate about, "hey, this isn't a significant change!"



To basically remove the possibility of practice attacking? No, 47 hours isn't too long. The game has done well this entire time without it. Not sure why putting a time limit on being able to attack it makes a significant difference

oh i assure you 47 hours is quite long. this will cause many players to get frustrated that they cant enjoy the new feature and hit their clanmates while during war. this is not a soltuion at all.

how about you make war bases that are made within the last 48 hours unavailable to be practiced on?

Brilliant update for testing new bases, unless a daft cool down is put in. Will make clans more active, well done Supercell.
