Missed opportunity....again
Is it that hard to refresh the experience with some new gameplay content? Every update is the same. A few tweaks to the user experience in chat, menus etc and then cash grab troop upgrades. The new hero abilities are toted as "free" but in actuality it's just an effort to get people to upgrade their heroes another 5 levels. For me personally the best part of the update was the ability to speed boost hero recovery. Also the ability to chat while visiting/replaying. I would really appreciate seeing some new gameplay content added. Ideally it would be best if the new gameplay was interactive for the entire clan. I am not a software developer and have no idea what it would take to implement live clan wide events or even a "clan wars". However I now play battle beach and samurai siege and both have implemented these ideas and my clan has all shifted their interests. Also other features I have noticed that are successful is having a clan profile and the ability to level up your clan. This is really exciting as higher level clans have perks available that benefit all players as each new level is achieved. One example is at level 12 the entire clan receives a 5% boots to all their troops effectiveness. The clan leveling is well received by all former clash players i know. Also the clan rewards during live events and wars are well worth competing. The last war event was very successful for our "alliance" and we were able to unlock a few rewards for all our hard work. We received a few new temporary attack/defense units and a temporary maxed elixer mine. We all competed as a clan and felt rewarded after all our hard raiding. You can see everyones individual participation so it makes it very exciting and fun. Clash of clans easily has the best raiding AI and graphics but they just don't reward their players for playing. Even the looting has become a major chore that doesn't pay. Yes I am a TH10 player but still I have seen samurai sieges's currency system and they just aren't stingy with the available loot. I can make 5-10 million jade (gold) in an evening of hard raiding. That would be great for me in clash as im currently working on level 9/10 walls. Anyone that know clash knows that making 10 million gold in an evening with a TH10 ain't happening. Yes I understand the loot penalties to help prevent big accounts smashing smaller ones but I get pillaged all the time in siege and it just doesn't bother me that much knowing I can go out and make serious loot in one evening. Anyway this sounds like a samurai siege endorsement but in all actuality I just wish supercell would make an effort to freshen things up for players such as myself that have dedicated a year to this game. Its just not as fun anymore. I think we need a big update next time. Something literally game changing. Sorry for the novel but i feel like this is my last effort. Hopefully someone hears me.
Thanks for your time peeps,
Knox
More feedback from clanmates
I posted yesterday as well but my clan wanted to add more issues we are experiencing. When I and about 2 others went to raid, the action froze. We troubleshot this issue by using several devices and other wi-fi/internet servers.
The issue as it happened: drop troops, nothing occurs, time stops, then about 20 seconds later everything unfreezes but the deplyed troops are dead and we lost the time from the raid itself.
Wonder if others are experiencing similar issues.
