Upgrades During Town Hall Upgrade

[XxCONNORxX]

This is an interesting idea I had while watching my maxed out town hall 8 base slowly approach town hall 9. I had nearly maxed storages, but with my base maxed, I could not spend them. My idea is to allow the commencing of upgrades that require the higher town hall level (in my case, town hall 9), during the town hall upgrade. This way players could use their loot and continue to gain more. The new, higher level structure would not actually gain its higher DPS and/or HP until the town hall upgrade was finished. Basically, I could spend the elixir to upgrade an army camp to level 7, but no matter when the builder freed up from this task, I would not receive the extra housing space until the town hall was finished upgrading. Please let me know how you think this would work out.

I see why people would want the idea, but it makes no sense.

If you were in the process of getting a drivers license, you can't drive. You need to wait until you actually have the license. Same concept.

Well if you're using that analogy, the way I see it is that people spend time before they are old enough to get a drivers' license working towards it. This makes it so that as soon as they are old enough, they can get their license right away, similar to receiving upgraded structures as soon as the town hall has finished upgrading.

The point is that you would be doing TH9 upgrades for example when your a TH8 - never going to happen.

Or you can start the th a bit earlier to account for it like a normal person

We weren't supposed to drive?

Not everyone realizes that. Or sometimes people misjudge or forget.

Right now I'm surprised that I'm getting close to running out of things to do, or just finding it harder to find and remember what is left.

In line with OP's idea, could slowly open up the more common items, like extra cannon, or storage, and when done, the new and special stuff would be available.

Personally, would rather have a list of what is left to upgrade I can review, with costs and update times shown. Then I can get a better idea when to start that Town Hall upgrade. And I know it will only get worse. Was TH6 when I realized suddenly I needed to start that up, and now as a TH7, wondering when that upgrade time is, again.

And what if the person decides to cancel their TH upgrade?

Honestly, plan plan better and use the time to max your storages. I had my upgrades finish for TH8 with 2 days to go with 6M each of gold and elixir. Used 150 gems for the 2-day shield and let my collectors fill up during those 2 days.

Got both X-bows right off the bat and plenty left over to start other upgrades.

Simple, make it so you can't cancel, just like lab research.

It sounds very likely that complaints of accidental TH upgrades would rise. Plus there are people (maxing) who might want to cancel their TH upgrade when they hear about an update and new upgrades at their current level
