Make prep day 23 hours long

[ZionAntero]

Make prep day 23 hours long because since my clan does war nonstop, each battle day starts later and later every war because of how long it takes to find a match so after every 5 wars or so we have to have a wait day so that the war doesnt start close to midnight and we dont get matched with a chinese clan. Doing this hurts our win count. So make prep day 23 hours so that clans who war nonstop can start battle day at a time that is convenient for them

This makes no sense, 23/24 hours you still have the same problem.

i would love this change for the same reasons as you stated.

btw......I guess our clan is not the only one who cant compete with the Chinese....lol

actually, I think it makes sense to a very active war clan

war matchmaking gets very long at times
and those minutes will start to add up

last week you started 7pm, the next week you could find yourself starting at 8pm and so on

honestly, it won't matter to me (and my clan) but that's because were not "war-serious"


but for a very active war clan, I think this idea would be beneficial to them

We got spanked by the Chinese the other day - all maxed bases - don't even know how we got matched up against them.

I don't get your logic... he is saying that when it is 24 hours and you start a war at 9pm, you cannot start the next war until 9:15, then 9:30 and on and on and on until it is too late and they need to wait.

With 23 hours, they can start a war at 9pm, then start the next war at 9pm, then start the next war at 9pm.

Example (for the 2nd post in this thread - forgot to quote):

Day1
8pm - Prep Day Start
Day2
7pm - War Start
Day 3
7pm - War End
8pm - Prep Day Start
Day 4
7pm - War Start
Day 5
7pm - War End
8pm - Prep Day Start...

Makes sense to me! Pretty good suggestion, OP! Especially for clans who go to war all the time. Might get a bit confusing for people at first, but only for a short while.

Since the war opt in/out feature is in the game i hope this idea can get as much attention and be the next most requested add on for clan wars

Our clan wars 3 days a week to avoid this. Our prep days are Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. But the main reason we do this is because we like semi-consistent start times. So this would really help us as well.

As for getting matched against a Chinese clan, I hadn't considered start time as a factor in getting matched with one. What times should I avoid? We usually start around 8 AM, maybe as late as noon, though sometimes I'll push back as late as 6 PM if I have a nice research finishing. Like our current war, I have level 5 wizards completing at 5 PM today, so I started the war search last night a little after 6 PM, so I could donate wizards to war CC before prep day ends.

My clan is small, doing 10v10 wars. We win almost every war. However, a few wars ago, we got matched with a Chinese clan. As soon as I saw their clan, I knew we were toast. They were clan level 2, and this was only 8 days after the clan perks were released. So I knew that had to have won their 4 previous wars. They didn't have time for 5 wars, and it takes 4 wins with at least 18 stars and at least 9 opponents defeated to get a 10v10 clan up to 500 XP. So at a minimum, they didn't suck. Worst case, they might even be really good.

We ended up losing 19-23. We probably could have beat them, but we had some coordination issues, only used 11 of our attacks. Needless to say, the Chinese clan used 18/20 attacks, 3 starred our bottom 7 bases, though they only managed 2 stars total against our top 3. We managed 7 stars against their top 3 bases, so I feel we had stronger players. We just couldn't get everyone to attack, and our weaker players failed a few attacks.

I actually liked the competition! But I don't relish the idea of having to do it frequently. Anyway, it was our first loss in the last 10 wars. (I don't keep track, and the war log only goes back that far.)

We are happier with the straight 24 as it stands now. It makes our scheduling easier. Would not want to see it changed.
