Builder Games - March 8th - March 12th

This clan games is by far the personally worst that has happened for several reasons.
1. The points awarded are ridiculously small for large challenges.
2. Since BH8 has been released, the people who gemmed their builder halls to level 8 will be appearing at every trophy level that's worth anything. Basically the new defenses and structures will make it even harder for the non-gemmers to complete any challenges.
3. A segregated clan games is just a poor idea to begin with. (The same case if it was home village only, but this is far worse just because of the fact that 1, 2, 4 and 5 don't apply to the home village challenges typically) 3.1 Not everyone likes or even tolerates the builder base, some players outright despise the builder base.
4. There is far less of the buildings that need to be destroyed in the builder base than the home village, but the amount players are told to destroy is virtually the same.
5. (Assists 1-4 further) It also doesn't help that even if you don't use your entire army, in fact even if you don't use it at all but just use the battle machine instead, it still behaves like you expended your ENTIRE army and will retrain an entire army as such. (Which is completely stupid segregated clan games or not)
6. A cap of 3000 again? For this clan games that is tragically miniscule.... how about letting those few who like the builder base carry their clan mates who don't care for it? It'd be a good opportunity for the BB gemmers and BB addicts to capitalize on their love of the builder base lol

Everyone?? Are you even looking at these current games? sheesh open your eyes!

Yes, this particular one is completely BB focused. I was just as surprised on the realization, too. It is what it is. I'm all for experimenting, but I hope this fails so hard that they never attempt this particular thing ever again.

First and foremost, the tedious nature of doing challenges in a mode that you don't even like. And second, the smaller rewards causing players to have to do more of the challenges to reach their goals.

For me, I'm having absolutely no difficulty doing any of the challenges and I'm currently at 4,500 trophies. If I'm going to play this base, I want my time spent paid back in getting the maximum amount of loot I can. So, dropping makes 0 sense. But staying online for the better part of hours doing 100 and 175 challenges over and over is tiresome.

Oh I understand and agree with you completely, I was just offering a suggestion to those that don't mind dropping.

As someone who does not play BH often my contribution is trashing the difficult challenges so my clan mates can have easy
ones. My challenge cooldown is up to 50m on both of my accounts.

The biggest issue I have is that you typically have to do TWICE as many attacks in the BB to get the same points as in the MV. So for example in the MV its 12 stars for 600 points and in the BB its 24 stars for 500 points.

While I understand the armies train faster in the BB this doesn't change the fact that the player has to play twice as much to get the same number of points. This is why it feels like such a grind compared to the normal games.

I did 4 of the "remove 5 obstacles" in a row this morning. Did one, and then another would pop right up! :p It does seem that they are rarer but maybe that's because others in your clan have figured out that these are really the best ones to be doing. That's even more true with the big ones being reduced to 500 points. Either way this concept can be applied to any challenge that you take. Try to estimate how many attacks it will take you to complete the challenge and divide the points by that number. Then pick the one with the highest points per attack.

FWIW, I just hit 3k on my main. I didn't do a single one of the 1 hour tasks and trashed some here and there as well as taking some of the hour ones just before going to bed to get the free trash basically. My clan is about half way through tier 5 currently and I think we should be able to make it the rest of the way. Despite being someone who loves the builder base I'm not overly fond of just having the builder base exclusive challenges. I don't think I'd like main village exclusivity either. It just makes it feel like too much of a grind.

If, there's going to be a specific focus like main village only, builder base only, etc then I would like to see the clan games be shorter versions. The feedback for the games has be passed on ad nauseum to SC so I hope that next time we get a focused clan games that the feedback has been taken into full consideration. I like the idea of clan games but I hate to see so many people struggle with them or for it to become tedious instead of fun. This is basically what has happened in CR with the crown chest as it's just a weekly grind for sub par rewards.

With the very small number of players that would have the Mega Tesla built, why was it included in the BB clan games? In our clan (and probably 99% of all clans) it just takes up a slot that could have been filled by another challenge.

138 pages of mostly complaints this has to say something about the failure of the BH.

I thought I was in the silent minority that only thought it was a poor attempt as a side game. It seems I'm basically in the majority on this forum. Builder games is awful never have I logged in so much and disliked it so much at the same time. I literally am just taking % challenges making a couple lines of minions closing the app and waiting for the game to say my army is ready.

Trash it, wait 10 minutes resume with games

Take a deep breathe and rethink what you said. When/If you see see where you went wrong...you're welcome. Comprehension can be hard.
