Isn't it ironic that you love the game but hate its makers? I understand the position of anti-engineers yet both sides have logical arguments. SC wants to address this issue as smooth as they can. They pointed out that they can't have a solution that can't be sustained in the long run. Engineering should be allowed to exist, only to a certain extent not the very lopsided matches we see today.Quote:

So update drops in 2 week maybe?
The side against it is more logical and some of the engineers are just bad players trying to cover up that they can't 3 star someone of equal th level and you call it logic. And no, engineering is not easy to adapt to like some make out, the people who exploited it early are the only ones with an advantage or that will ever have an advantage from this, anyone who follows suit this late in the "game" will have a blistering hell of upgrading wait time, elixir farming, dark elixir farming, upgrading in general to go through while they take 150 or more days to get much done compared to the ones mentioned earlier, how does 75 more wars worth of time or ♥♥♥♥ losses sound? The damage is already done, the best SC can hope to do is mitigate the issue so there won't be any more damage. And personally why should SC show any consideration toward the engineering clans, most of them are just second accounts anyway, and if they up and quit, the genuine side of the game won't miss them.Quote:

Your hate seems to stem from the fact that you got most of what you want in the game, but you didn't want one thing, so the whole thing needs to burned down. That's like saying you want the game to crash and burn because revenge doesn't work. It's just one aspect of the game. There are dozens of aspects, each with a dramatic range of possibilities. Many good, some bad. I don't think the game is the pinnacle of games, but it's scratches my itch quite well for a few years and I'm happy SC gave it to me. If I didn't, I'd delete it and move on.
Im not critiquing that you think engineering is bad, again I agree, I'm critiquing the degree of what you want to happen SC and your personal emotions on the subject. You're letting your rash temper get the better of you I think.
Clan wars are the largest aspect of the game, they're basically a sacred piece of the game, and SC spent nearly a year letting a bunch of good for nothing scrubs trample all over that sacred piece. And no, I don't wish anything bad on them, but they are pitiful for letting this go on as long as it has. (Maybe the update that's even greater than clan wars is the update that fixes clan wars. lol)Quote:

Or weight the hell out of them so the incentive isn't there anymore. I promise you, that will put a quick end to these clans.Quote:

The former carries with it a legitimate and significant drawback, the latter can gain a massive attacking advantage and still maintain a clan-wide challenge to 3* them back (especially relevant in smaller wars)
My clan has seen more than usual lately, they utterly stink at attacking, and need to be able to bully in order to even dream of pulling off a 3*. We've still spanked them, but I can see the frustration. When these clans take engineered THs to war in extremes, it's rather eyebrow raising and a potential problem.
We seldom mind a single engineered account, but when the entire clan does, yeah, it can be advantageous for them and annoying, especially when they suck at actually playing the game
Really waiting for the next Monday and hoping some good news regarding the update.
Top things I want in the update. Anything else is a bonus.
Fix engineering. Throw it down on these people exploiting the game just as SC did on the TH outside. The longer they wait the more painful the change will be. TH level needs to carry the majority of the weight. If you fail to upgrade everything you will pay dearly. Single biggest issue facing the game today IMO.
Time. Give us MORE time for attacking. We need it for TH10-11. It hurts us more not having it than it hurts lower levels having the extra time.
Trophy system. It is totally broke. Fix it so everyone wants to push.
Less used troops improvement. Continue to try and make those troops not used as much better. Last few updates have done a fantastic job trying to address this, please keep the effort going.
This would hurt rushed players as well...causing them to be at a bigger disadvantage. The solution to engineering isn't as simple as giving added weight to the TH.Quote:
