I'm so frustrated with these clan games at this point. I hate the freaking BH to start with. I get my three attacks per day on most days. I said at this point because I'm hoping they will open it up later on.
But, these clan games with nothing but BH really irk me. I'm having so much fun, raiding for a minute and a half and waiting for five. Yeah, just what I always wanted to do.
I'll try to get 3000 points on my main and 1000 on my other 14 accounts but I'm not doing it for me. I'll do it for the clan. But I won't like it.
This latest clan games challenge does not provide a clan with a choice except compete or don't. I understand that it is to promote the builder base (which is there because it cannot stand on its own merit) but I do not believe that this make a lot of clans as active as previous games. Having a varied choice of challenges so as everyone can have fun was a great method of making the clan more active. Just my thoughts.
JUST DO IT!!!! - shia
50000 seems out of reach..that too in 4 days..atleast they could start the game as soon as the update landed or keep it 6 days as before..
Meh... Have to say I’m also somewhat dissapointed. I feel like I have to choose between either letting my clan members down or playing a game I really don’t like..
Normally it would be an easy choice and I would simply not do the games, but as I’m a part of leadership of our clan family, I should set a good example
I'm afraid like it or not Builder Base fans are people too. I don't really have a lot of sympathy with people who have stubbornly ignored the BB and now complain because Supercell have started a short event for those that chose not to. It is no different to moaning about a war event when you don't war or a Hog event if you hate hogs.
The game is for everyone no matter which aspect they prefer and if there is an event that you aren't a fan of then simply don't take part. For example...I hate Curling so during the Winter Olympics when it was on I did something more fun and trimmed my toenails.
NB. Please note the comment about sympathy is only addressed at those forumers complaining about us BB fans having our own little event not people who hate the BB but are quite happy to let us play for a few days.
After opening hour and a bit our clan usually has 4000-6000 points in the bag... This time we currently have 650.
Slow clap for those behind the current Clan Games.
I think you seem to be missing the point of many.
I personally am happy some love BHB. We have 2 in our clan that almost only play BHB. The problem is not that the CG are for those people, but that they are ONLY for those people. Every CG prior has been for people who like BHB because there were always BHB options. But to make it only BHB options you are simply alienating a lot of people, and upsetting just as many. This is nothing like a war or hog event, because CG are a clan event that require participation from everyone, and there have always been both options for both play styles.
Remember SC has many times said we ould never be forced to play BHB and would not miss out on anything for ur main base because of it besides (mostly useless) gear ups. Well, now we have proof that those words obviously meant nothing.
Holps. I see your point there. Main villagers have no problems with BB fans. Main villagers have no problem with Builder base tasks too. But did somebody like it when your ability of getting the finish point has been stretched badly? I see no. Literally no point to Reducing the Tasks Rewards Points. Even I myself doing it for my beloved clan and other Members too otherwise my Best friends who are in my clan would love doing those 400% and 500% Destruction main Village tasks. I can't do BB tasks from all due to rubbish troops in my other Accounts. Everyone is Somehow incapable of doing it now. In lieu of that? We have to do More BB tasks just for the sake of something we love.
:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
I hate it tho :(
Lol at this.
But yeah, I am sure SC wants players to play more Builder Base, but seriously this is not the way. 4 Day Clan Games with the same maximum points as 6 days Clan Games, and the challenges points are reduced. Grit and Grind time. BIG TIME.
So I guess: JUST DO IT!
In a game that is obviously in decline the clan games were the one thing keeping our clan going and going strong! With litterally no one, out of 45 members, playing BB that incentive is gone. I get people wanting specific BB tasks but adding no main village quests is just plain wrong. In general we have somewhat of a hype going at the start of clan games. It goes without saying none of that is taking place at the moment. To add insult to injury, they nerfed the only troop that allowed me to rack up BB points. And nerfed it into the ground if I may add.
No one is attacking builders base fans, they are free to love the builders base, in fact, it it builders base fans attacking people who dont like the builders base, so it would make more sense to say people who dont like the builder base are people too. The problem as others have stated, is that since the reward are useful in main village, Its a case of people who dont like the BB who feel like they are having their arms twisted to play, others feel simply excluded. Your point of the game being for everyone, yes, thats why you shouldnt exclude main base tasks from the clan games. Supercell has 2 choices here
1 inferior choice - make rewards builders base only, so no one feels like they getting arm twisted to play BB to not let clan down
2 great choice - how about making it 60% BB tasks that count 3 times the amount of MB task?
If you use 2, people still have the choice so dont feel the twisting of the arm, and those who cant stand BB have an option, however most of us, even those who dont like BB will still play BB, except instead of resenting it, it will be a positive experience. We will be finishing the clangames much more easily than normally, we will have a choice and chose the BB tasks, and this means SC accomplish the goals or getting a lot more BB activity, and it being positive association activity, much more likely to lead more more players playing BB after the games.
For me it was a huge opportunity missed. Honey attracts more bees than vinegar as they say.
Yes of course I did... but this proves your point "you don't like the builder base and don't care about the rewards then just sit it out" is wrong. We now have to force our clan members to play a part of the game they don't want to play because if they don't the clan is penalized !
Think we are doing better than that, like you we would be well on our way to tier 3, we currently have a total of 50 points.
Guess the players are voting with their feet :)
http://i68.tinypic.com/auxit0.jpg
Sadly I have 550 of those 650 points. And I've been battling every 5 minutes (second attack always without BM) to get even that. I don't think we as a clan will even be bothering this time around. Which is kind of sad since we've easily hit 75-100k every other CG.
Darian seriously the clan game is so hard like really hard since builder base is also hard please this should not come again please thecl challenges are hard
I somehow managed to push 1500 points Within 90 minutes. Other mates are busy in Main village attacks and some of them are doing pretty fair casual tasks.
Ty for your suggestion:), I just Finished a task of Destruction somehow this way, Like i said before I won't mind if I tilt my trophies. I needed around 5-10% Destruction and just got that by Spamming an army of sneaky archers and quit.
Lol. Builder Games? You gotta be kidding. Just because you can't get people around to play builder base, you are now resorting to leaving them no option but to play builder base! This is ridiculous.
Our clan has decided not to play this unfair edition of Clan Games.
So now in both bases we are expected to drop trophies simply in order to be effective at CG? First for legends players in main base, now for higher trophy players in BHB who don't want to lose their progress being in the higher loot cap?
Makes perfect sense from a gameplay standpoint. 🤔
Worst Clan Games yet!
Dont get me wrong, i usually get most of my CG points from BB, and inlove playing BB. But, the bad things on this CG:
- A lot of ppl from most clans dont even bother with BB, so this throws down the mac points most clans will be able to achieve.
- They changed some tasks to make them worse. Less points from same tasks, etc. And ALOT of 1 hour tasks! Comon guys, lets not make much 1 hour tasks, they are the worst!
- This one is the biggest mistake IMO, 4 days for a 50k clan games! We’ve got some 6 days 50k normal CGs before, and those were already hard to get max points! SC reduced the time by 2 hole days, AND made a harder CG (because of BB only)! That was really bad!
Again, i love BB and love CGs, but this one was really bad.
I’ll get my 3k points, probably, but it will take an extra effort for me because of those stupid 1h tasks, and i really doubt my clan will even reach 30k
disappointing. . i don at all play BH .. so i have to start from scratch? annoying.. . go on do these to annoy ppl off the game. enough of waiting for clouds. . annoying sound bug reported 2 times nothing done yet. . now i get disappointed with a CG i was looking forward to. call it Builder @@1BASE!@@ Clan Games then.... duh.
I don't actually mind a themed clan games but my major issue is one of the challenges.
Destroying Mega Teslas?
I upgraded same day as the update and still have 2 days to completion. I hover around 3800 trophies and in 10 or 15 battles i havent seen one completed BH. This challenge is just about impossible and is trashed to get better challenges.
Unless there have been thousands of players that gemmed completion of BH and the mega tesla theres no point to this challenge being available.
For these clan games they are set for the bh base which I don't play. So I'm going to complete 1 challenge, wait until it ends and receive my awards.
Sorry, it's not Twitter. You do them or not, doesn't need this thread.
Builder base clan games are going terribly, atleast in our clan. I always suspected, most just do 3 wins per day to keep the master builder from getting too lazy.. Now it's confirmed. We have hardly even reached half of tier1.
I wouldn't describe our clan as the most hardcore out there, but we get by with 46 adults who get the job done collectively every clan game till now. We got every tier of every clan game till now.
The low points for the games don't help matters. The 1 hour for those 300 points ones simply isint enough.
I am sure Supercell is going to be able to compare the previous clan game with this one, after it's over & realize how builder base is not even 20% as successful as the main base.
Maybe throw in a few main base challenges for the majority as well.
Bh have limit in loot if you finished 3s loot you wait some time to get loot and attack again.we do attacking only for clan games without any loot think about it....
I must admit, even though our clan usually does more BB challenges than TH ones, I am pretty disappointed by some aspects of these games.
I am in no way against the principal of a one-off special games for BB, but they have made this one so hard that even BB enthusiast clans are extremely unlikely to get top tier.
The combination of reducing the time by 1/3 for the same points requirement (4 days instead of 6), and reducing the points given for big challenges means very few people are going to get near the 3000 personal cap.
I made a mistake I shouldn't have upgraded to bh7.
Just hover around with bh2 for CG points.
Is there any way to boost BB base's barracks without clock tower?
However, IIRC when games was released last year it was described a home village content. During all the BB complaints there was a lot of reassurance that HV hadn't been forgotten; that the next updates would be focusing almost entirely on HV, etc...
And now HV players find that the "HV content" (games) which is usually about 50% HV and 50% BB has become 100% BB with no HV input at all.
none of my clan members are participating in these BB clan games.
No excitement whatsoever
Forget 50k, I'd settle for 30k. Itl be lucky if we can hit 30k for the book of spells/fighting to reduce lab time.
Is it possible for supercell to intervene mid clan game & atleast, increase the points for each challenge?
It will surely help most clans hit atleast 30k to reduce their lab time (BoS/BoF). After all the main point of the CG's were to make the community at large, advance faster towards the higher lvs
Just imagine that the Serbian Water Polo team were looking forward to the 2020 Summer Olympics, hoping to defend their hard won Gold Medal from Rio, only to find that the IOC had forgot to mention that they were not including any water based events in the Tokyo 32nd Olympiad.
The IOC talk to the Serbian squad 1 week before the games start and tell them that if they take part as a team in the football tournament instead, and stay in the competition until the semi-finals, they could retain their Water Polo gold. The IOCs argument was that both games are played with a ball so it should be simple for them to play.
Two of the water polo squad were up for it (played it competitively before), but the rest of the squad didn’t enjoy football and couldn’t play the game “for Toffee”.
What should they do as a team?
I think ur post is insulting towards us.you are calling us stubborn.Here No MB fan made a comment on BB fan.We made comment only on this decision.Its simple We dont like it so we dont play it.From where this word stubborn is coming?your post is insult to us.
One question-How will you feel if SC announce today that players who took part in this CG cant play next CG??
This is exactly we are feeling
Agree with Ajax, Skrags and quite a few others in this thread. Whilst I don't mind a one-off themed clan games, and whilst quite a few in my clan don't really play the night village anywhere near as much as the main village, we had still had some hope for getting the rewards.... now the games have started, it soon became apparent that there was not much point really.
We will continue to try and get as many points as we can, but we don't have much hope of getting anything remotely worthy from the rewards.
:thumbsdown:
The people that are most upset about this are the players that have been playing the longest, who have invested years in their main village. Nobody asked for a whole new game to be added to CoC. The fact that it's completely monotonous and laborious only adds to frustration of builder village and now SC wants to make anyone who wants to help their clan achieve max points in clan games play it. No thanks and I don't think anyone cares if this is a one time event, few players are excited about the introduction of builder hall 8 and building up this unnecessary add-on isn't something to celebrate. Try grasping that most players don't like and never will like builder base and making it mandatory to participate in clan games is very frustrating.
I'm forgetting all my dislikes towards it and playing it. Just because those rewards will help our clan members.
Twice I selected 300 points assuming it as 1d tasks. Then I realized it's a 1hr task. Yeah I was stupid, tried hard, And finally as timer ended I was short of 1 star.
I'm not gonna complain. Because nothing is going to change.
Good luck..
#8th_post.
A mistake sc made is that prior to the start of the builder games, if you tapped on the games icon in the main village, it said “clan games start in xx hours xx mins”. Notification that the games would builder only came about 24 hours before the games start. so a lot of people were already anticipating a normal clan games.
I dont think this misleading information and late notice helped, bearing in mind that Bh is not as popular as the main village and, imho, there is a lingering distrust among some, myself included, that at some point sc will penalise those who do not play Bh. In this latter respect, these games could be described as the thin end of the wedge
Don't understand, say what?
I am guessing here, players do attack even without loot bonus and clan games is meant to encourage players to attack more than 3 wins daily.
Builder hall only games? Gimme a break. Darian, really bad idea in my humble opinion. Seeing as you guys are always looking for solutions not just complaints: You guys really should have just done a normal clan games and made BH games give far more points. This feels shoved down my throat. I sometimes take BH tasks in normal clan games- sometimes they're easy points, but I have the choice then. This feels forced. (don't come argue semantics with me about the definition of forced- it FEELS forced)
I actually feel like dropping my builder base altogether now. I have been becoming more and more alienated towards that base for the last two months because I am enjoying the gameplay and battles less and less. It was supposed to be a 'fast, night base' well only half that is right. Its nighttime. Because now upgrades are almost a week, takes ages to accumulate the resources, pah. It was sold as something and has turned into something else.
The people who are vehemently defending this builder hall nightmare clangames fiasco - enjoy your builder hall, I for one will happily now just use it as a gem village.
btw: check facebook supercell - your page is inundated by hundreds, if not thousands of incredibly upset people. This clan games has gone down as the worst received by far. And they aren't bound by forum rules there, they're saying it how they see it.
I'll be skipping these clan games - bugger the rewards. My clan of 45 odd people don't seem interested at all. Usually at least 15 people take a task in the first 10 minutes of clan games starting. I see 1 taken in the first hour. Proof is in the pudding. There shouldn't be a need to forcefeed us a side minigame if it was marketing itself, surely? Oh, but it doesn't market itself, because its boring to many. (yes, I know some of you just LOOOOOOVE IT - wonderful for you.)
That was Entirely not the Point of Clan games whatsoever Mentioned by Darian. He said in October clash talk(or maybe in November) they'll be Releasing Content which aims towards the Improvement of Social Dynamics, However he so said that it's somehow linked to Main village content. Whilst we saw it actually as a General feature for Clash which is Linked to both Main village and Builder base. That's why i can see why all these themed stuff. Builder base is not even 1 year old. Many users are not used to it. Some are not liking with how how Designed the progressive approach of clan games and rewards. I admit I Like playing builder base with one specific reason and only started playing for that reason and That is Clan games. I play it to take that Advantage of Earning points. I suspect Developers have Screwed up a little on our Game play style. And that's why most of us are not fond of it and Very Disappointed.
Just dont care about it (same like me) :P No1 force you to play builder base ;)
I agree with this as well. In addition to what you mentioned they've put meaningful rewards at the 50k tier - most of these 50k games actually got all the good stuff at 30k, so clans could stop there if they wanted.
The BB games wouldn't have been popular in my clan no matter what its structure. But this seems to be one of those cases where SC make several changes in the same direction all at once and it kind of predictably goes too far - rather like nerfing miners in 3 or 4 ways at once. So we have:
- a shorter games than usual
- a much reduced selection of tasks (even though I mostly do BB tasks, I do some HV tasks - reducing the range makes it harder no matter what your attitude)
- an apparent reduction in points for some tasks and/or requiring more effort (eg more guns destroyed) for the same points - so individual tasks have gotten harder
- the addition of at least 1 impossible task: destroy mega-teslas
- the raising of the points required for all the meaningful rewards from 30k to 50k
Not a good combination
Spoiling our day just because of a game.. isn't a good idea.. I told my clan those who are pro players select 100 point tasks which can be done fast. And allow those noob players(like me) to select 1d 300 points tasks. And it's working pretty fine in our clan.
This is the time to remember This is just a game.
Once we all were called clashers. And now it's main village players and Builder base players. :(
#holps_post.
I would rate the decision to make a BB only CG the second worst decision SC has ever made (only the Dec 2015 update debacle would rate higher in my book).
Just don't play CG this time. Supercell can't make us play a game that we don't like. Maybe the remarkable success of CG has gone to their head too much, so now they are using CG as a tool to revive their heavily criticized builder base. Try hard as they may, they won't make any success in that direction.
These games are going to SUCK for my clan. Out of 48 players only 24 are above 500 trophies and only 13 above 2000 trophies.
I take trophies as a sign of actively playing builder base or not. I know most people with a few 100 trophies tried the BB and didn't enjoy it.
SC should have raised the max points per person so those who do play BB can help the clan carry those who don't.
Completely Agree.I am really disappointed by the fact that they reduce points for larger challenges which were most points efficient way to earn points.Fortunately we have lots of members who love Builder Base ,so we should be able to get the max rewards.I not a BB fan but I will try to contribute as much as I can with my four accounts.
Builder base sucks quit pushing it on us.
It may not have been said specifically said at the time CG was released, but all through last year there was a lot of talk that SC was focusing all their efforts on the main village now. Apart from a few new levels of stuff it's the only home-village-ish new feature. Other new features have been changes to social to see who is online and watch (applies to both), changes to clan recruitment (applies to both), addition of BB FC (applies to BB only). I guess we got new backgrounds for clan badges for clans level 10+ and that's more relevant to HV :smirk:
Frankly. It is kinda tough clan game this time. Build base 4 will face builder base 5. Then builder base 5 face builder base 6. The builder base challenge matchup needs to be adjusted.
Frankly not not everyone likes play builder base. People majority aim for the 3 challenge daily quest to clear and continue with main village.
Sad to say. This clan game really seem kinda irritating for myself and majority of my friends.
I'ts okay they reduced it. You wait about 10 min per attack on the bhb while in mb you need about 30 mins. Plenty of time to finish off those 3k points.
Oy, this Clan Game isn't going to go over too well in my clan. Most of my members hate the BB with a passion. This is going to frustrate a lot of players and might cause stronger feelings against both Builder Base and Clan Games moving forward.
How dare you give me free things and expect me to do something a bit different to get them.
We all are #@?@#$ from all side....
Time is less
Points are reduced
only just BB challenges:(
and No discount or Time reduced of CT
I personally donot even want to play BB ...BUT SC.....left me with no option(Note :Stay away guys who are going to say SC not force you)
Looks like someone take decision in rush
I can imagine how its going
SC :Hey darian Any suggestion for upcoming CG
Darian: hmmm...Forums and BB are becoming bored....so let make Next CG only for BB...and Set Forums and BB on fire:D ....
Note:Sorry if ..I hurt anyone ...just post for little bit fun
Guess Supercell invested heavily in the development of builder base with the hope to multiply their revenues rapidly. But people soon saw through what a 'scam' builder base was and they stopped playing it. Ever since, Supercell has been trying to seduce people into getting back to the builder base with little success. That was understandable; but taking away clan games from people, something they loved, in the name of "celebration of BH8" is a very cheap trick to employ. The response to this much hyped edition of CG, contrary to what some forum seniors might claim, shall be very poor.
agree 100%, the response and enthusiam in my clan, some of who like the BB, is very sluggish to say the least. Feels like supercell should have swung the other way, and made the tasks give higher rewards to help people feel good about it. Giving us a temporary clocktower longer boost or less cool down time would have helped to, and shorter gaps to new loot would also have made it more fun to do tasks when you actually can get some loot. To swing the other way, make it BB only, and then more difficult then usual leaves me a bit puzzled as to the intent.
For me, as stated earlier, they sound have had 60% BB, 40% MV and BB task count 3 times more than usual. Suddenly everyone OS doing BB tak because they want to, feel good about doing them, no one feels forced, and supercell I reckon would have walked away with a bunch of new and more active BB players. Which I would assume would be the goal.
edit: on the positive side, Its clear people love clan games.
It was bound to happen. There's a limit to free 'gems'.
It's a propaganda to force players to play builder base. In my clan, not one member has gone for BH8, many still have BH6. We just decided to discard this edition of clan games. It's a pity that after winning people back with clan games, Supercell now wants to force something down their throats that they don't want to swallow.
I understand what you are saying here, and can certainly see how it looks.
But BH8 was in fact almost completely ready when BH7 was released. Most of their work since then has been focused on the changes that are coming later in the year.
BH8 was released now because (a) too many people were getting close to maxed BH7, and (b) the big TH changes won't be ready until later in the year but they wanted to release something significant now.
I was drafting the clan games but now that I see they are all BB challenges I'm a happy bunny. Should mean I can find bases in legends without too much clouding.
Very well said, and my sentiments exactly. The lone exception being that I don’t love the CG as a whole; the frequency just makes them another chore on my opinion. That said, they’re bearable when you can do the Home Village challenges. This edition is just ridiculous.
If you have a flawed product, the answer is to improve it, not try to shove it down people's throats. There have been numerous posts in the forum on the flaws of BB yet SC chooses to ignore them ( remove loot cap, undo clock tower nerf, reduce hero regen times, MM issues, etc). You want more people to play BB? Make it better so people want to play it.
They have got shorter gaps for loot - 8 hours rather than the normal 22. They should have reduced the clock tower cooldown in line with that IMO, although that is still slightly less than the period between loot being available.
Incidentally, there is another level of clocktower available at BH8, giving 10 minutes boost. But I doubt many people have that yet.
Meh...builder base is only worthwhile to pass time between attacks and I'm considering starting a couple more mini's to fill that time.
Meanwhile SC thinks,,, "Take it or leave it"
