Disconnection Grace Period

[CitySushi]

I can't think of anything more hair-raising-annoying than when you attack another player only to have your phone ring, or your phone switch from data > WiFi, or you walk through a dead-zone, or you are just flat out disconnected – unable to return to your attack, even though you were only offline for a brief moment in time.

It's annoying when attacking normally, but extremely frustrating when it happens during a Clan War attack – of which you only get 2!

Please implement a feature that allows your battle to be automatically paused (briefly.. I'm talking 10 - 30 seconds at most) when you are disconnected, so that when you get back online – you may return to your attack already in progress.

Obviously this could cause issues when attacking normally due to player online/offline status. But certainly there can be something done to this effect in regards to Clan War attacks where a player's online/offline status does not factor into the equation whatsoever.

Since this game is primarily played on smartphones, the tide-turning negative effect of phone calls should be factored into the game... at the very least.

Thanks for your time.

Rhetorical question: How often is this actually happening to you?

In the thousands of raids I've done, this has only happened to me once. Literally- one time. Putting a feature in place for the .001% of this happening is unrealistic. If you're doing something important like a war raid, and you don't turn of phone calls- you're asking for trouble.


At what point does the server decide you're offline? Say I'm in the middle of a raid, and blow it big time- I could just put my device in airplane mode real quick, come back and gamble it rewinds a bit?

I just have a hard time seeing this actually work..
