Increased Time For War Raids To 4 Minutes

[itoslemma]

Apologies if this has been suggested before...

I understand the need to have some form of timer for raids. However, I have seen many beautifully creative raids fall short because of time.

Pros
- Added creativity to game play
- Greater flexibility in combo choices
- Greater competition potential in Wars due to greater distributional scoring potential
- Fun!

Cons
- Are there any cons??

Notes

its not like the player is blocked from entering his village during the attack (which is, I believe the real reason for the existence of the timer).

Suggestions

I have a small suggestion though. The addition of another minute should only be for Town Halls with level 9 and above.

I'm surprised no one likes this, really thought it was a good idea. All good.

Saw this just now. Posts seem to slip in IFR.
I don't see anything wrong with this idea. Its actually a good idea. War raids are more important than any other raid and having a flexible time can be the difference between another star.
Also, its not like the player is blocked from entering his village during the attack (which is, I believe the real reason for the existence of the timer).

I have a small suggestion though.
The addition of another minute should only be for Town Halls with level 9 and above.
So, only if the defender is TH9+, there will be a 4 minute timer.
The other Town Halls bases don't require this much time to be honest.

Thanks for being patient for 4 days before bumping the thread

I like it. I've missed out on 3 star victories several times due to the clock running out on me.

I like your suggestion. Makes sense.

Selfishly, I'd say no .... many times i've had a star saved against me when the clock runs down ......


Perhaps at th10, with so many extra defenses to overcome, plus the higher levels - but if you believe the whning cry babies bicthing for a nerf on lavaloon, there is no need there either, as lavaloon with rage should blitz you with time to spare..............

I have had many raids end at 99% because of time, however I am not for increasing the amount of time for a raid. 4 minutes is a really long time to do a raid. Part of the game is planning your attacks to 3 star in the time limit. Take into account if you were hit by a hog raid and after your defenses went down a giant bomb killed all of the hogs, with the 3 minute time that would be a one star attack. But if you add in an extra minute that gives the heroes ample time to break through all the walls and get at least a 2 star which I don't think is fair to the defender.

That is kind of the point. The game is pretty much all about blitzing. Smart slow play should be a viable tactic. Besides, I don't know if I agree with your lava loon and rage point, but that digresses from purpose of suggestion.

I don't disagree with this point. Thank you for making it. This supports TheCulprit's thought of making it available only for TH9+.

Instead of a fixed time increase, how about leaving the raid times as is, and implementing something like a 30-second increase bonus in raid time once say all defenses are destroyed?
