Better warning of maint breaks

[rwelshjr]

I would like to suggest that SC give better warning on maint breaks where they can. (understood this wont be always)

This request is triggered by this last one that when we came out of the break we had little time left on our war. We actually started getting a message we could not attack for a while but our war clock was still ticking down so that got us in a corner on the time. Also we had a member that needed to leave for work (ER nurse, she can't just blow it off) and we lost her final attack.

With a little better warning of what was coming we would certainly have done a better job of planning and not been caught quite so out.

Even if they could not warn us they still should have suspended the war clocks at the same time we could no longer attack so it does not run us out of time. I admit we have had this happen in wars before and dealt with it fine, but this one was bad because we were so close to the end and had more people than usual attacking later in the war.

I always say "WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥??? I'M ON A CLAN WAR ♥♥♥♥♥♥!" when they announce it FIVE MINUTES before maintinance.

But only in this instance it think it was a server issue. There was a terrible lag and then things started going wonky. Shortly after complaints started the maintenance occured. That being said on others they could do a better job with announcements otherwise.

Our war had just started and we were able to get one attack in, but wasn't sure if it was recorded or not when it went into the break. Poor little 9 year old neighbor was biting his nails to the quick hoping he hadn't lost his perfect attack. I made him some cocoa and let him play mincraft on my desktop, but he sure was worried. Luckily it was recorded and he went home happy as can be.....well until tomorrow when he comes back to do his second attack! Lol
