    Thumbs Up New clan war idea/feature- speed up prep day

    While I do not think having a surrender option in a war is a good idea (can fairly easily be abused), I do think having the option to speed up preparation day is good. Either allow the Clan leaders to have the option to select "Begin War Day" and when both leaders have opted in, then give the clans a 30m heads up. The other option is to allow each clan member to have a way to mark their base as "ready for war." Then when/if every single member of both clans mark ready, the war will then begin. Otherwise, the default start time will be 24 hours still.
    what do you think? Does this make sense?

    No you can't do things like that, it would cAuse so many problems, I still get people joining for war and then leaving two minutes after the war is selected, some people don't come online to check bases, there is nothing wrong with the current system

    There is a need to keep the rate of bonus payouts at 48 hour intervals, anything shorter upsets the game economy and cuts into SCs profits. (if they are paying those amounts more often then they are paying a greater amount)

    There is also the problem that if you and your clan are all set and hot the ready button you have to wait for the other clan. What can happen is you want for a long time and finally go to bed, then the war starts without warning in the middle of the night when you were not around to expect it.

    If the time off prep day was simply added to war day it would help with both these matters. The rate of payout remains at 48 hours so SC is happy and also even though the war suddenly started at an unexpected time the longer battle period means you have more time to just pick up on it when you would have anyhow and you would not have lost any time.
    If everything angers you then you will spend your entire life being angry.
    If everything pains you then you will spend your entire life in pain.

    There is currently nothing preventing players from doing that now, joining and leaving like you said. And I didn't say anything was wrong with the current system. I just think this is a way to improve it. If your clan likes the 24 hour period, then rock on. Some clans finish all their prepday work in the first hour so it would be helpful for them.

    I admit I too was not getting what this had to do with coming or leaving.

    But you are only speaking to some of the issues that have been raised here.

    ok, I see what you're saying with adding it to battle day. But as far as starting it at midnight if you had already hit "ready", that is why there is a 24 hour window to attack. Each clan would still have the full 24 hours. Also, that is why I suggested a notification and delay be sent after the second clan clicks ready... That 30m notification can be adjusted to two hours if needed.
    Also, I don't see how it would cut into profits majorly. If anything, you may get more players speeding up their upgrades... Esp heroes

    As far as your 24 hours is still enough suggestion that is not true. When the 24 hours starts matters to a lot of people. There are of course kids that do nothing but game all day so of course they can fit in their attacks. But for the players with school and demanding jobs etc.. the time to be online supporting their clan for war has to be carefully scheduled. So if the war starts at a time that does not work for them they are only going to be ok if the entire time that they were originally planning does still fall within the battle day. that's why you should extend battle day.

    The only way adding the time to battle day would be a problem would be if you are just another guy looking for how to shorten time between bonus payouts. We get a lot of folks coming here giving every reason they can think of to get their bonus payouts faster. Nothing wrong with that, anyone (including me) that says they would not like to start getting more war bonuses is lying. But if you look at it from the point of view of those that have to pay out the extra bonuses they see it the opposite way, and they are the ones that get to decide too. So you will need to address that issue in your suggestion otherwise they will never go for it no matter what I say or anyone else here. Just a reality. I have offered you a way to do that but if you are passing on it then good luck. Its SC and not us here that you need to convince that they would benefit by increasing their overhead costs.

    Some one please tell me how a "surrender" button can be abused?

    Are you telling me you would quit your own war right after it starts?

    How will this be abused? Please tell me.

    You are jumping on multiple threads posting this question yet those threads do have the explanation posted in them. Do you think you could take a break from your posting to read a little?

    A surrender button can work; it's not like their isn't abuses already in the game. Also, I'm on multiple posts looking for a good reason why to keep it out and I have not found one.
