Uneven match!!...ENGINEERED BASES

[ryryshouse]

I know, you're far from the only one that feels that way. Me, I need a reliable start time. Kids go to sleep, I go to war.

What I'm not getting is we start talking about variable prep day length, but end up with longer search followed by same prep day length.

And i know many that feel the way you do. I see how our clan checks out of the game completely when the match sucks though... they go to other games it is so bad. It is dead air for 2 days. This is a hard one.. I see both sides even though I am clearly on "my" side. ( my kids go to bed too , takes forever..... )

A ladder or some system in which folks come with a canned roster and can browse "available" wars still seems like the best solution imo..

Eagerly waiting for this sticky, anymore news on it or perhaps an ETA?

Arggg...the endless excuses they throw out to delay going to sleep.....I need water....I need another hug.....Silly question #1....Silly question #2.....turn on the fan.....I need more water.....

haha. I feel you guys.

My daughter is super sneaky, I'll bury my face into the phone to do a war attack and when I look up she is standing in front of me blanket and bear in hand. So sneaky. Then in her (daddy cant resist voice and pout face) Wock Wi Me? (trasnlation: Rock with me?)

Right, one of my biggest complaints about the game right now is, i use the clock tower but then 2 minutes in i need to fetch a piece of cheese, then a glass of water. 4 minutes now wasted of the 7 min boost.

The timing doesnt seem insurmountable. My previous answer was assuming search time was variable. Dorsan, i think suggested deducting the search time from prep day. Or more simply prep day can be reduced to 16 hours, but every player gets a 47 hour war timer starting from the start of the war search. So war can't start more quickly than now. If the search was quick you might get a gap between 1 war ending and starting the next search

[ryryshouse]

yea Oynx, not a bad idea.

Deducting search time from prep day to get war to start (more importantly end) at the intended time would be awesome.

Seconded. As part of a more "mature" clan with lots of kids and spouses in the picture, a guaranteed start/end time but with improved matchmaking due to some wiggle on the prep day, sounds awesome. Thumbs up.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I still don't get it. If it takes 3 hours for my clan to find a match, I better be matching with someone that's been searching just as long (in which case no change to the pool size).

Otherwise, how does the system decide how much to shorten prep day? By my search time, or the other clans? If I've been searching 3 hours to finally find a match with someone that just now clicked 'war', I wonder if you're thinking about shortening my prep day (and keeping the war start I was aiming for) without considering what that does to the other clan's planned schedule. If you shorten my prep day to account for time in the Q, then the other clan will get a less than 47 hour cycle.

ETA Along with metamucil for yourself, a little melatonin for the kids....

shorten by the longest search time without affecting the war timer.
