War Time Limit

[matrixphijr]

I think the time limit really needs to be changed, especially for Clan War attacks. For regular attacks, 3 minutes is usually enough, but in Clan Wars, it's a completely different story. Against an intelligent defender at higher Town Hall levels, even Hog Rider attacks run out of time a lot because of everything that needs to be done to 3-star a War base (i.e. luring Clan Castle troops and heroes, discovering traps, picking off buildings in the map's corners, AND executing a full attack). I can't even list all the 90+%, 2-star attacks (or sometimes only 1-star when the Town Hall is among the last buildings) I've seen where the attacker did everything right but just didn't have enough time to take out every building.
In a format where stars -- and thus, overall destruction of a base -- are of the utmost importance (rather than loot or trophies), it just isn't fair that the number of buildings in a base is anywhere near as important as the defensive power of those buildings.
If it were me, I would add a minute to the time limit for Clan War attacks, but even 30 seconds would be a step in the right direction.

Yes, this is an awesome idea

If the attacker did everything right they wouldn't end up with 90%+ they would end up with 100%.

The attack is not just about getting everything done correctly, it's getting everything done correctly and efficiently.

If they are doing a hog attack are they bringing wizards to help clean up all the left over trash on the outside?

If they are using gowipe are they bringing back end loons/hogs to take out the last defenses and clean different parts of the base?

If they are using mass drags do they remember to deal with the corners in some way?

I haven't been to th10 were it does look like it gets much tighter but th9 and down 3 minutes is certainly enough.

And my point is, sometimes that's just not possible within the 3-minute time frame. In essence, we're penalizing attackers for being meticulous, which seems contrary to the point of a Clan War. Just taking care of a Clan Castle with a lot of troops in it can sometimes take up to a minute, mostly due to the one-at-a-time spawning of those troops (maybe that's what should be changed). But what other option does the attacker have? Disregard the Clan Castle, throw in all troops at the start, and hope for the best, all in an effort to save time?

It means that your attacker have additional time to get that extra star on your base

Sigh, this has been suggested many times, what would be the point in giving more time, that would just give the capacity for everybody to achieve 3*s all wars would end up in draws and become boring.

This is a very selfish request in my opinion, you need to practice attacks more, better preparation etc, you shouldn't be given the ability to 3* bases all the time, learn from your mistakes and attack better next time.

If 3 mins are ample time in regular gameplay, it should be ample time in clan wars.

Fully agree. Well stated.

Yet I'm still advocating it. That should tell you something.

I'm sorry, did I ever say this was about me? Because I don't see any mention of that in my posts.
You don't like the idea? Fine. But don't assume I'm here because I'm whining and looking for something to blame. I don't appreciate the arrogant attitude.

So lets explore this, you are comparing an attack you have at least 24 hours (assuming they change their base, 48 if they don't) to plan and tailor an army for a 3 star, as opposed to attacking a base you have 30 seconds to plan your attack with a generic farm/push army....

And you are saying you need more time on the base where you have at least 24 hours to plan and prepare..... interesting.
