Allow playing Idle during waiting for players in battle lobby

When you press to join the battle during Warzone Idle, if you press at the first minute (every :00 or :30) , you will wait until the battle will start, usually 5 minutes. You have your smartphone seized for 5 minutes, without the possibility to do anything. I suggest putting a button like "minimize" that allow you to play Warzone Idle during the waiting of the battle start. In this way I can continue with the game instead waiting 5 minutes without doing anything, with the smartphone blocked.

I second this

thats why i usually join at xx:x5 instead of xx:x0

but yeah, we should be able to play idle while waiting

Would love to see this. Minimally, allow us to change the artifacts to be used in the battle, and have them only influence use in WZIB and not regular WZI.

As it is now, regular WZI often uses different artifacts than WZIB, like Speedy Crafters, Craft Double, and depending on people's playstyle Speedy Smelters, Efficient Crafters, Efficient Smelters, etc. WZIB typically focuses on Army Camp Boost, Territory & Bonus Money Boosts, Hospital Boost, etc.

So b/c you keep having to swap them out for Battle-strong artifacts, the more WZIB you play, the less benefit your regular WZI game gets from the artifacts.

Seconded, although I would like more to be allowed to play WZI while waiting for an arena match opponent to show up. It happened to me to wait 30+ minutes for a 2vs2 match to start. It happened pretty often to get annoyed waiting, do something else, return and see that I got booted.
So, a feature allowing playing Idle while waiting for battle AND arena.

I agree, I usually don't play arena because of waiting time, so I forgot to mention it. But if this feature can be implemented also in arena I will play more

Very spicy

I just realized that if an active artifact is cooling down, you're stuck with it during WZIB.

I used Triple Strike to finish Triskelion, and now I'm stuck using TS in WZIB and can't swap in my SAC.

doh!

What I'm really trying to say here is . . . let the WZIB artifacts be independent of WZI Regular, let us swap them while we're waiting for the battle to start. While we're waiting for others to join and while the countdown to start is happening. Once the counter hits 0, artifacts are locked in for the match.

WZI, WZIC and WZIB need to have an independend set of of artifacts. Iirc, this feature was also requested in multiple previous forum posts.

Could Muli's userscript achieve this the same way it handles Template sets for QM?

Probably not, because you have to open a WZI level to change your artifacts
