    Lightbulb WARNING - a clan war search will commence in 6 hrs!

    Instead of starting a clan war search straight away. Have a warning period to inform everyone before being locked in. clan members could then step out to the feeder / sister clan, or use gems to finish those upgrades before the war gets ' locked '.

    just to be clear this is simply a timer on the existing process with an mail alert. Nothing else.

    Note : good question would be, does this extra warning period become part of the preparation day or separate
    ..

    Having read a lot of post about an opt-out button os some sort which most of them I diodnīt like, I personally feel this idea makes sense, It doesnīt change a whole to the game itself, it doensīt put more power to the leaders, but it adds a way to ensure your clan is ready.


    Because of the way the match making is done today this would need to be an addition before the prep day so it would add a few hours, but it would also solve a lot of problems for clans today.

    I guess if it would be an option to select if you start a was as (co)leader this could be the million one dollar idea :-)

    Thanks for posting!
    Just quoted from SC website: Many of us had been big fans of games like World of Warcraft, which most people play for years, not just weeks or months. Our dream was to create game services with longevity like that. And we wanted to create them for the widest group of people possible. They would be games that almost everyone could get into.
    We believed (authorīs note: past sentense) in the power of simple, fun game play.

    This is a good idea, but I personally like the opt out button idea better. There is already enough waiting to start a war, and I don't really want people leaving the clan.

    Good idea

    Good idea, but stuff that is upgrading still works for war. For example, let's say that an air defense is being upgraded from level 4 to level 5. The air defense will be level 4 and function for the war.

    Yep, but , in your example, what happens when you really want the air def 5 to be in the next war. You could gem it in time.
    cheers

    Yeah the opt out feature has been discussed to death. Personally i would rather have something as simple as this and then have good clan management. Rather have ppl leaving during the "warning stage" with no impact and not after the war has commenced (preparation stage)

    Good idea. However what do you do if you don't have internet access while you are going on vacation such as camping or cruises, i know you can pay for it but it is seriously overpriced, etc.
    There are 10 types of people. Those who know binary and those who don't.

    You cant cater for every scenario. apply the 80% / 20% rule. this is just an improvement op the current system that does not change the game and hopefully only requires a small change . If so, it greatly increases the chance of being implemented

    I like the idea in a general sense, it would need to be at least 12 hours though not 6. Think international clan and time zones.

    I do not, however, think this replaces an opt out option. It simply can't address all of the issues that an opt out/in option addresses. And no- I am not going to respond to any comments on that as I don't want to hijack this thread into a opt-out derailment .
