Clash of Clans | Game Updates | Ruled Out

Ruled Out From Future Updates

Here are some amazing ideas that have been ruled out by the dev time for the time being.

Source: Official Game Forum

Playing clash of clans (or any other SC game) on a computer or through a web browser e.g. Facebook
Donating (or trading) Resources or gems to (with) other players
An exchange building to convert between elixir, gold, dark elixir, or gems
Assign multiple builders to one build/upgrade
Upgradeable builders’ huts
Player search function
Active/ Live “Online Status” examples: colored icons, on/off indicator, etc.
Indicate last online date
Remove the “Report” button/feature from global chat. Abused too often, and mute is better solution

Add other clan requirements to apply besides trophies, ex: Specific troop lvl, TH lvl, lab lvl, game lvl
Customizable clan flag
Add ability to send short message to rejected applicants similar to when expelling
A large text area for clan rules that just the clan can see (separate from public clan description)
Leader (and co-leaders) ability to delete messages in chat
Modify clan msg of player joining with who invited player: xx joined clan, invited by xx
Add clan rank to Clan Info Screen – Quicker to reference than scrolling to end of top 200 list
Increase clan size: 75 or 100 are most common requests
Separate Elder+ chat tab in-game

Ability to camouflage/purchase camouflage – (make AT appear as a barracks until within range)
Ability to load current x-bow with elixir or dark elixir for extra bonus of some sort
Stack def structures – ATs over walls, Teslas on top of barracks (truly hidden), etc.
Upgrade to 2-story walls that Hog Riders/Jump spell can’t penetrate (maybe limit #)
Display both X-bow range circles at once for planning – different color on inactive one
Modify Clan Castle – toggle defend/not defend (like heroes)
Auto request Clan Castle Troops in clan if you win a defense (Shield didn’t activate, still attackable)

Gem mines/drills
Wizard Laboratory to create/upgrade wizard projectiles/spells
Add a second laboratory or a second slot in current lab to do two researches at once
Queue upgrades/builds
Troop Armor Building. Research upgrades to troop armors/attack/speed, etc.
Swap buildings – drop one on the other, pop-up or double tap to swap if same size
Ability to turn on all def building radius circles at once to check coverage
Trap/Explosives hut to upgrade/build bigger ones
Lightning Rod to absorb Lightning Spell

Customize troop builds = to order, permanent productions, saved queues, etc.
Queue troop donation notices when offline – display when back online or new interface to see info after
Show total training time left above barracks
Show total elixir costs of troops sitting in army camps
5x or 10x button in troop training screens for faster queuing
Ability to rearrange barracks queued troops (ex: click/hold slide troop icon first in queue to the middle)
Modify healers to include healing air troops
Troop carrier (Trojan horse-like) it moves on its own until damaged, then troops pop out
Release a hero for every troop type (Some more may come eventually, but not EVERY troop)
Prepackaged troop clusters = similar to clan castle deployment, but you can load like 50 troop count in 4 different clusters to deploy on offense all at once.
Have clan war troop donations count towards donation statistics

Ability to filter matchmaking by Resources or Trophies available
Capture live attackers and have them reassigned to your own clan castle, army camps, or new structure
Bonus/award if attacker skips your village – partial payment to you on match fee
On Offensive Battle Summary include resource cost of troops/spells used
Ability to assign 5 or so of your own troops to defend Town Hall, same AI as clan castle, smaller radius
Ability to transfer a revenge to a clan member or public hitlist
Auto reset/repurchase Traps if you win a defense (Shield didn’t activate, still attackable)
Add a small chance to “Steal/Win/Replace” spells on an attack victory (suggest 3-star only)
Back button in matchmaking for accidental “Next” clicks – Perhaps cost double fee to return
Deactivate spell selection after casting to avoid multiple mis-casts, make user re-select if wanted
Add a 1-2 second spell casting cooldown to prevent unwanted multiple mis-casts

Separate tab in chat for troop requests
Revenge list indicate online/shielded or currently attackable without having to click each person’s button
Ability to hide certain attacks in battle logs
Show loot/trophies which were available on battle logs in addition to what was earned
When revenge used – defense log includes original attack results (Resources/trophies/%/stars)
Modify Att/Def Won stat to include losses as well, example: Attacks: 38/12 Defenses: 3/12
Add comma or space at thousands space in ALL places: Upgrade buttons, spell/troop buttons, shop, etc.
Add a counter when all builders are busy to indicate when first one will be free
Allow iOS Device battery indicator icon to be displayed while in-game
Upgrade menu listing all things upgradable
Ability to turn on white buffer lines without moving Building/decoration
Add a League Chat area
Ability to hide Traps/Bombs (perhaps Tesla) in edit mode to give an “attacker’s view”

Resetting or restarting a specific village
Rate base feature
Keep replays through maintenance – increase from 4 to 6 or at least since last login
Add a setting to disable village animations to improve performance on older devices
Add Gem use confirmation on all functions
Botany Research- Ups spawn rate of obstacles and/or increase in chance/# of gems when removing
Additional Leader boards based on Town Hall level
Add ability to play background music while in game natively
Add push notification for Hero ready (healed/able to attack)
Log gem usage/gains in gamecenter (or ingame) so users can look to see where they went
Add an unmute option for accidental muting – or have a list showing all muted to pick certain unmutes
Add custom sound notifications for Clash push notifications
Add mini-games, something to occupy time
