I have an idea that I’d like to see if Supercell would consider. Would it be possible to have a “clan troop/spell donation pool” where clan mates can donate troops & spells to a clan “pool” where clan-mates can pick troops & spells from previously donated members when there’s nobody else in the clan on at the time they’re attacking? I find that when I’m attacking in the early morning or late evening, and there’s nobody else on, I can’t get any donated troops. If there was a “donation pool” where clan mates can drop troops and spells into this “pool” for other clan mates who may be playing at times when no one else is on, they could be able to obtain donated troops for their attacks when there isn’t anyone else in the clan on at that specific time. The donated troops could still be sourced back to whomever donated them so they’d get credit, and credit for troop donations are only counted as “donated troops” when those players specific troops are pulled from the pool by another player, and troops a player donates cannot be the exact same troops they donated - meaning the troops received by anyone in the clan would have to be troops that they specifically didn’t add to the pool, unless those troops were already available in the “pool” prior to them donating the exact same troops they’re attempting to obtain), but it would allow people who have the ability to attack when other clan mates aren’t on to be able to still fill their CC with clan troops for their attacks and/or defenses. What can be done to possibly have this thrown in on an upcoming patch or upgrade? Please let me know your thoughts and if this is something that could possibly take place, and if so, how soon? Thanks for the help and I look forward to hearing back from someone regarding this potential upgrade.
And one more additional item would be to be able to upgrade walls in both villages without having to have a free builder so walls can still be upgraded while other items are actually being upgraded (since walls take zero time to upgrade when builders are available). Just a thought...Thanks!
This would defeat the purpose of request if you can just fill it yourself without others being on. Also, a place where you drop troops/spells, anyone can snag all the good stuff, leaving things you may not care for or it be empty.
Might have to try to recruit people from different time zones or go to another clan with multiple members active throughout the day.
Leave a Builder free if you want to dump resources in walls.
First, the no-builder-for-walls: The game was like this in the beginning and SC changed it to require a builder. If anyone can dump loot into walls at any time then it will reduce the amount available to steal and it will hurt the economy.
On to the main idea: the troop pool has been suggested a ton of times over the past few years, and the implementation would be very difficult. You've thought through some of the edge cases, such as not being able to take back troops you donated into the pool, but think about the implementation, code, server storage, etc for that. There is also a lot more to the issue of crediting donations only when someone takes them - what if 5 people all give the same thing, then the order must be tracked so the first troop removed goes to the first person who donated it. Other issues: what happens if the pool is full of junk? Who can empty it? How do you limit how often people can take from it? Then what about clan management issues - now you might have a problem of a couple of people always taking all the troops. Under the current system they can only "take" what is explicitly given to them which is a built-in form of control.
Yeah, maybe SC can implement it, but I think it's more trouble than it's worth since the current system is really not broken.
