Hi Daddy,

The answer to your question seems to be a collective "yes" from evidence I gather from the first 26 pages of this thread. However, troop and spell builds are slowed or lagged thus nullifying this effect.

This information (mentioned more than once or twice) I found while taking the time to read those 26 pages of this thread, which as a moderator, I would have assumed you would. At the very least, i'd expect you to skim over the page or two prior to you posing your question (yes it would have been answered). Not to be "wise", but the very nature of your question and how it was posed (short, dismissive, showing little to no knowledge of thread content, to say the least) seemed to be of the "smart alec" genre. I digress. What I was unable to find though, and it may just mean I have to read further, was your reply to the reply to your question. If you could link me to such reply or simply reiterate your thoughts it would be appreciated. I have quoted the response below, posted 2 posts after yours.

"I did, i wrote it in my post on the other page. The boost lasts longer but you don't win anything with it because the troop training or the spell timer stops also. (Only SC wins here)
Production of gold, elixir and DE also stops because of the timer...bug. So again, we don't win anything with it."

If any forumer here can help by linking me that would be just as good and appreciated and I thank you in advance.

It is present in the other games. TMK there has been no official reason or explanation of why. It is likely Supercell is using the code that causes the bug in all their games. They could have essentially cannibalized portions to save on the time spent on new code. Or it could also be related to the hardware or security measures they use in the games. Or other reasons.

1. Any opinions on this "bug" one way or the other from any notable mods? Link me please
3. Likewise for any prominent Clash Tubers? More specifically ones who were invited to SC. Daddy=Both










2. Likewise for any supercell employees?
5. What was the last official statement (prior to this thread) on this from SC?

Your time spent answering those to the best of your ability for me is much appreciated. Thanks. Im reading this thread from day one and am only on pg26 and this was a good catch-up. I see you have been at this a while, while maintaining a positive attitude mostly. I applaud you. Thanks again.

It's pretty clear now that it's a hidden feature (and against the developer guidelines of Apple and Google) but Supercell of course won't admit this. So you're left to believe what they say (as absurd as the excuses may sound) but what is more absurd are the ones that continue defending the time lag. That's why I love the ignore list feature, you never have to read any more nonsense again (except when these people are getting quoted, but when that happens they are getting burnt badly, so I do not mind)

Hey superclash. I have seen you have been part of the battle for quite some time. It must be tough. I don't want to comment too much without being fully caught up on the goings on. I see a ton of bans.....curious as to when some of the "fighters" had their breaking points. Especially since a lot of them seem to have started with cool heads. This must take it's toll and I can appreciate that. From what I have read SO FAR answers, or lack thereof, have been less than satisfactory. Just keep your wits about you.

Now let me tell you something, Supercell mainly employs game designing veterans, in one word one of the best people out there. So it is kinda suspicious that it's taking them a year and a half to sort it out. Don't get me wrong, maybe they don't know how to fix it, but there is always a solution to a problem. Hire someone who can fix it!

As coathanger has stated, SC is aware of this. They've said its hard and it would take a fair bit of time to sort it out. Alright, its been 16 month already, don't you think that during those 16 months they could have hired a team to look over it and see what the problem is? They could have, but they didn't. They didn't do it because it would cost them money, paying for that team to work on the issue and also they would lose the revenue they make from that bug.

Don't get me wrong, i dont really care about this since i gave up on supercell a while ago, however i've decided to fight for whats right for my fellow clashers so they can enjoy this game more. I am not an expert when it comes to game developing but i have seen this similar scenario several times in which the company makes profit of the issue and is not willing to fix it because it will equal to less profit for them. Instead they create a thread like this, get members to discuss whats right and whats wrong, comment couple of times stating that its hard to resolve an issue and that it has been on their top priority list for over a year.

This is a false dilemma. You have presented the argument with only two options when there are are other options available. Possible other options include but are not limited to 1) Fixing the time bug would take an unreasonable ammount of time and effort 2) Fixing it could cause side effects 3) Fixing it would delay updates indefinitely 4) Fixing it could be to costly.

Fact is no one other than SC can determine what action if any is appropriate relating to the bug. Bugs exist in almost all software and not all are patched or fixed. It just so happens that this bug is in a game that let's people spend gems(money) on any action within the game; this leads people to wrongly assume that any action not taken is done for monetary gain.



*Unrelated to the quoted post* Who takes chickens to the doctor? They might be taken to the vet, but seriously it's a chicken and they surely do not lay golden eggs. I do understand the point trying to be made however this assumes there is a net gain between people who gem the last hour or so of build times and people who lose faith in gems and no longer buy them as a result and the gain is the cause of SC not devoting time to fixing the bug.

Thanks for the kind words, it is not easy - on the one hand you feel like talking to a wall on the other hand are all these Supercell fanboys which defend the time lag (unbelievable, I know) and naively think just because Supercell posted it, it means it's the truth. And yes, it's a shame that intelligent and critical posters like Icekool have been banned and I have also received some infractions for reacting when letting myself getting trolled. I now know better and my ignore list is simply getting longer.

I know.

C'mon SC. This thread has almost 1000 posts, and 100000 views, and you're telling me no response has been given by Supercell staff, concerning this bug, nor any attempt to fix it.

Look, a lot (several million) people love this game. Even I would rate it my no 1 mobile game. A lot of people would. But this bug is out of hand. And it's VERY strange co-incidence that it is in all supercell software.

When people stole gems from you (gem bug), it was patched within hours.
When you steal from us however, it is NOT patched in 1.5+ years!

Outrageous, SC. I thought at first this was an innocent bug that would get sorted out - an error in the code perhaps.

But no. Every sign points it into being intentional.

Sorry for my ranting, but enough is enough. Please fix it.

No response? Why don't you read the thread first... And 'every sign points to it being intentional'. Can you please list them? And you're comparing it to the gem bug... Again, read the thread before posting. Your whole 'rant' has already been answered...

Have you ever heard of an argument? Your logic is, "If you don't believe my point if view, then you are a fanboy and you are naive"... Buddy, that's not how the world works...

They are deliberately covering it up / delaying,

1) present in every game
2) only effects times that will benefit SC
3) no attempt at fixing
4) I am comparing to gem bug because it put SC at a disadvantage. sc jumped to fix it. For this 'bug', it benefits SC and so they are keeping a low profile on this.
5) doesn't affect shields
6) This thread is overloaded with posts and argument and agreement.
7) this 'bug' has not been fixed over several updates, even thought this is very important.
and so on.....

btw, please give me the response by SC. i don't have time to search over 50+ pages for it. Please outline what it said.

All you have to do is look back a few pages...
