Hello all,
Very small and (should be) easy to implement idea for Clan Wars. The idea is to have a way for clan members to mark themselves as ready during clan war preparation and then shorten (possibly significantly) war preparation time and thus allowing clans to war more frequently if desired.
Must haves:
- Button needed next to each member name on war preparation map, only visible to own clan. Button should be same exact shield with crossed swords graphic used for war opt-in/opt-out, but smaller. Button action is not reversible once marked ready. Location of graphics marked 1 in attached picture.
- Once 80% of war participating members ready(good percentage since wars in multiples of 5), clan Leader and Co-Leader(s) have option to mark clan ready for war using same war opt-in/opt-out graphics. Location of these graphics marked 2 in attached picture and both graphics always visible to both clans.
- Enemy clan ready graphic always appears Red when not ready, then Green if ready.
- Own clan ready graphic appears Grey if less than 80% war participants ready, then Red if 80% ready and Leaders haven't marked clan ready, then irreversibly Green when Leader marks clan ready.
- Since button actions are irreversible, pop up dialog to ask "Are you sure you wish to ready up for war?" or similar should be utilized. Similar to current dialog to give up shield when attacking in multiplayer.
Minor details:
- Clan war end time in one of 2 ways:
- keep original battle day end time creating potential double edged sword (you can start war early and start attacking, but also gives enemy clan more time to attack you)
- make battle day end time 24 hours after preparation ends to maintain original battle day length (I like option 2).
- If this idea is put into place, once both clans marked ready, preparation time falls to 30 minutes left, NOT straight to battle day. This ensures both clans have ample time to be aware preparation day has been vetoed.
The best part of this suggestion is clans don't have to ready up if they like to stick to their own schedule. This is an entirely optional change to wars and won't force clans to change their ways should they not want to.
Apologies if suggestion already made, I went through the sticky'd posts' OPs and saw no mention of such idea but may have missed it.
