Dear supercell, concerning the global chat community

Nope. Global is becoming too quiet.

Giving them them a a chat server of their own without allowing access to the greater chat is not a solution.

Again, I advocate a global and local option when in chat.

I think we may actually be arguing the same thing point from a different vantage point.

here is why you should support an Indonesian server. There is no such thing as Malaysian server right now. You can't select it. Because there is no Malaysian server, it is possible that supercell have made the seperation based on the country of origin.

If there was an Indonesian server, which is very similar to the Malaysian language for they both understand each other, then there would not be that seperation by countries. There would be seperation by user choice when the user selects a particular language.

This is the reason the original post asked for server.

1) The chances to meeting the same player in global are extremely low.

2)We already have that, they are called CLANS, there's clans for everything, from pushing to war maniacs.

3) How can you have a community when you will never see the same players?

4)They can just ignore x player or go back to their clan chat.

5) ♥♥♥♥ sure let's just give pedophiles and the I need a gf morons a green light to go full ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

6) They will still flood the Eng global, just like how Eng players flood the norsk global.

7)Get ready to see a gigantic number of highly inappropriate base designs.

8)It's called clash of CLANS, and most of those guys are just looking for attention or trying to impress others with their badge lol


Global is a *beep*hole and I can prove it, you'll will have a very hard time finding good and loyal players from there, so what's the purpose of global? I see nothing but pedophiles, I need a gf and people are that mentally unstable.
SC should remove it from the game.

This post is in Spanish, this is an English forum, users are speaking in English, its easy to understand and communicate. It would be hard to communicate with that poster as i have no idea what they are saying, we can't communicate with them or help them as not many would understand it. Similar with global, if you can't chat with them, it defeats the whole diversity aspect.

The global is becoming rather quiet and lonely. Why do you want to restrict people further?

Might as well put everyone on one Global chat server.

On the contrary, in certain servers, we actually often meet some dedicated global community members. The fact that you do not know this, demonstrates you do not know anything about the global community. This explains why your rebuttals are based on false assumptions.

Again, we have a global community that meets in global. It is a lot larger than a clan would contain, far more diverse. No clan can substitute for that. And clearly, we do not have the filtering.

But we do.

Players on the clouds cannot mute players in global. Probably, you do not know that. And your other solution is not to chat in global?

Do you realize that what is happening is that exactly those perverse players who breaks the rules are reporting any decent player that stands up for them. So your bad players are not getting reported but the opposite. The current mindless reporting system that is based on number of reports even if the one who is reported is the victim, needs to go away. A new reporting system, where supercell receives the actual chat message so the true offender can be punished is a better way.

You never know. Currently, they have no choice but to flood because they do not have a sever.

how is this different than now? You do realise when a player is reported with the report button, supercell does not get it. Only when a layer takes the time to take a picture and then sends the picture to supercell that something is done about it.

It is ok to impress others. What is wrong with that?

Sorry, but I have seen wonderful group of people and I have recruited some great players.

I'll be honest... only thing I see in Global Chat is a spam of 5-year olds complaining, people trying to get members by giving free co, bunch of trollers, rushers, and desperate people that try to get a girlfriend/boyfriend on a GAME.

I'm not very eloquent - here is a better explanation of localizing from the tai guy - do forgive if it's slightly off topic but does explain the issue

2. Why do we still see some straggler Indonesians, Pinoys or Malaysians in English global?

A player's global is determined the very day the player first installs and plays the game. Supercell makes a note of the login country or location and this is recorded as the player's personal leaderboard or global. For e.g. an Indonesian graduate student studying for his MBA in the USA downloads and plays Clash of Clans for the first time in the USA - this Indonesian graduate student would be defaulted to the USA global.

A Malaysian IT professional who plays Clash for the first time whilst in England would be defaulted to the Great Britain global.

Indonesians who play the game for the first time in Indonesia are defaulted to the Indonesian global.

Malaysians who play the game for the first time in Malaysia are defaulted to the Malaysian global.

Pinoys who play the game for the first time in the Philippines are defaulted to a Pinoy global.

3. Why are the Indonesians, Malaysians and/or Pinoys invading Norsk?

The majority of Indonesians, Malaysians and Pinoys are trapped in their own respective globals. Their only way to get out and communicate with their brethren who began playing the game in a different country is by going to Norsk.

Likewise, Indonesians, Malaysians and Pinoys who began playing the game whilst overseas are probably trying to reach out to their countrymen in their home countries by using Norsk.

Norsk is being used as the bridge to straddle the different globals that pockets of Indonesians, Malaysians and Pinoys are trapped in.

4. Is localising global the way to go?

No, placing players forcefully into separate globals by mere reference to the country of their first login is a hopelessly flawed way to handle the issue of saving server space (it's the lazy man's method of doing things) and does not take into account the very mobile nature of mankind and how advancements in travel technology have made the world into a global village.

It also does not take into account the fact that there are many Indonesians, Malaysians and Filipinos who are fluent and fully conversant in English and who may wish to remain in an English global.

It does not take into account that in respect of Indonesia and the Philippines, these are countries with large migrant worker/expatriate populations in other countries.

5. What would happen if Supercell tried to localise India and Bangladesh?

The same "problem" that we are having with the Indonesians, Malaysians and Pinoys would be replicated.

India supplies the most number of IT professionals worldwide. Indian IT professionals are found in many countries across the globe.

Bangladesh has a large migrant worker population in other countries.

6. Where do we go from here?

LOCALISATION IS NOT THE ANSWER - at least not in the manner that it is being done now which lacks both sophistication as well as demonstrates a certain lack of sensitivity to the geopolitical, economical and cultural peculiarities of the countries affected.

Rather, a better solution may be to create language channels - Indonesians fluent only in Bahasa Indonesia could then opt for the Bahasa Indonesia channel. Malaysians who are only comfortable speaking Malay could choose to go to the Malay speaking global. Pinoys wishing a Tagalog speaking environment would just opt for the Tagalog channel. The Indians can opt for the Indian channel (although I suspect most Indians would speak English whilst in the Indian channel due to the multitude of languages and dialects that India has).

*The English speaking crowd from these countries can choose to remain in English global.*

7. What should Supercell do with Norsk?

The poor Norwegians have all been but ousted from their global... lost in the mounting cresendo of "English" voices in their Norsk global. If postings here at this Forum are to be believed, increasingly Indonesians and Pinoys are resorting to Norsk as well. Perhaps it is time for the creation of an "International" global and for the Norwegians to be given back the use of their "home".

8. Supercell - confront the global issue which is of your own creation. Closing and deleting threads will not solve the problem. Global threads are popping up with increasing regularity and almost on a daily basis.

GLOBAL NEEDS TO BE REWORKED BY SUPERCELL. IT IS BROKEN AT THE MOMENT.

The purpose of these features is to win back those players who stopped chatting in global, and many have even stopped playing the game, because of the problems.

So eventually, we will get more people, not less people. Of course, those who are rude, disrespectful, and do not read clan descriptions will eventually lose because serious players will filter them out and permenatnly mute them.
