Has Clash of Clans become stagnant?

I'm asking because this is what I've seen talking to friends and other members of my clan. The game slows to a crawl at TH8 and above. I know people would like more from Supercell as far as content. The knock offs of CoC often have wars with four clans, winner getting gems, events that reward special versions of towers for a limited time, other artifacts to steal when you raze and town hall that when you collect them all reward an offense or defense item for a couple of days. They don't have these tiny loot caps because everyone can get a lot of resources raiding. Things like this make the same exact type of game much more interesting and gives something to do with your clan. I think Supercell is really dropping the ball as these are a great source of revenue as people want to compete to be the best. I'm not promoting any other game, I'm just pointing out that the knock offs took CoC and improved upon the idea, they put in the things that the player base always asks for on the forums. SC really needs to work on that in my opinion.

People I know have either mostly quit or just sit under a shield all day and collect gold/lix because there isn't a larger point to the game. There needs to be better interactive content and less focus on adding more solo content like new troops and towers. Give your player base a reason to be here or those that have quit a reason to come back.

Obviously, the game does get slower the further you go along... Many of the people who are wanting new material are people just like you, who are at, say, TH8, and are feeling it much more than a TH6 would... Just the way the game works (as all game work)

Keep a builder on walls if the game is getting boring for you, it seems like you are always upgrading something ( well atleast for me it does)

It only gets stagnant if you let it. I'm on my 4th month at TH9 and still loving it. Mix up troops, push if you normally farm or vice versa... Or so many other things to keep it fresh!

It slows to a crawl at TH8? Its the best at TH8. The end of TH9 and all of TH10 is when it gets stagnant.

Game is dying, things need to change!

I agree. I've been on th9 for several months. Upgrades cost so much I can barely keep 2 builders busy. The loot system is so bad now it's hardly worth attacking anymore, so most the time I'm under a shield waiting for resources to build up.
I play the "other" game too and must admit that the features they have are very engaging. I love coc theme way more but wish SC would add a new dimension to the game. A lot of people will come here and say it's just you and if you don't like it then leave. But truth is that there are plenty of people feeling this way and some, like you, enjoy the game enough to come on the forum and ask SC to do something about it. Let's hope they listen.

The rip off's have improved on nothing. If anything they have given plenty of reasons not to implement the changes some want.

If CoC simply mirrored them it would demean the game. That isn't to say that a well thought out and polished addition to the gameplay wouldn't be welcome, just that I have seen nothing that comes close to matching that description.

I would have to be on some sort of commission to talk up such rubbish...

I can agree with the game completely slowing down once you reach TH8, I've been working on it for about 8 months, reason is I keep getting bored of the game and quitting while I'm trying to finish it.

I find it extremely hard to find things to keep me occupied in the game, but now that I'm about 90 walls away from being ready for TH9, things start to pick up in excitement, the thought of TH9 keeps me going.

Maybe those things are being added in future updates. Keep in mind that if they added everything all at once, there would be nothing to look forward to.

i just dislike the latest updates when supercell sold their shares updates got slower and less content.

I'm a veteran TH9 and I am maxed besides my Archer Towers (4 remaining), Air Defense (3 remaining), and of course Walls and Heroes which take forever. The game really has lost its appeal and I am sitting on shields collecting from my collectors. I hardly ever raid. My attack log is 2 days blank and it is just getting too time-consuming. I really wish they would implement a feature that let you do something fun with your clan. The most interesting thing I have done in CoC is trophy push, and it isn't even that big a deal. Looking forward to changes \(^.^)/

For me, there are 2 point of view for veteran player n for new player. If ur self is veteran player ull get exited by new item in coc but thats the opposite for the new player because they will have more longer road to get to the top at least same as every veteran player

Um...I am a veteran player and moan every time sc put out an extra level for something or add a new defence. I want more interactive things not another 8 million dollar wall upgrade or 10 more levels to hero's. There should.be more to Coc than raiding (even if it is what the game revolves around)

Well when they bring out clan wars things should pick up an bit so we will just have to wait

The answer is simple: yes.

Since the introduction of witches *8 months ago*, the only new big features have been village edit mode and hero abilities. Zzzzzzzzzzz......

i remember a time when they announced clash would NEVER be available for android, cuz when I found out they weren't gonna make it for android, I bought myself an ipad to play, yet low and behold it happened....

ofcourse in time,

so ofcourse in time clan wars will eventually happen

they are probably testing ideas on how to implement

Maybe a little stagnant, but this is strange from a TH8. Aren't you looking forward to X-Bows and AQs at TH9? And then Infernos at TH10?

Change is good. There is talk of a monster update next time, so fingers crossed. (monster meaning large update not literally a monster).

I'd also like to see a new troop or two. It's very annoying seeing 5 messages saying "coming soon" in the dark barracks. Maybe they should rename these "coming much later" to ease the pain.

I agree stich as a lvl 8 my self I can't wait for x-bows.
It would help if they did the monster update half way through march and it isnt just clan wars (even though that is quite large).

And one more dark troop that follows the dark/death element and the next to be fire like the th ten theame and maybe an electric because eletricity is the relevent secondary element to fire. like dark and death, and water and ice

hi fellow clashers

I don't know if i am veteran player i am mid th9 lvl 105 playing for 8 months now, no gemming... i think to a certain extent it has become stagnant and i would love daily rewards and more activities to do with your clan besides donating troops, like trophy pushing, farming and donation competitions are all things created by the players themselves, nothing to do with supercell really except for their rare competitions they have. honestly if i did not have an obligation to my clan i probably wouldve quit a long time ago but i try to keep the game interesting for myself like making sure i get a free builder evry 2 days, making plans, stirring up some competition within the clan. i have played a quite a few of these "other" games and i always find myself back at coc and i think the reason is that... coc might have its downfalls but its still the best one out there especially with the chatting functions that other games of this genre simply are terrible at and i do not know about you guy but to save up for 6mil upgrade is rewarding and to see it completed at the end of 12 days gives a little bit of excitement

that is just my view point

Do we have to press next many times in other games? If no i might consider migrating.

In one of the others, naming no names, but the loot can be amazing like 1.8 mill in a single raid.

but as someone said earlier (growler i think) these other games are not of the calibre of CoC, unfortunately they do have some interesting events and to be honest they add to the gameplay in a manner which many think CoC lacks in abundance.

SC will not follow the others lead, but this also means that whatever they do has to have some originality, and that takes time to deliver, whatever they do deploy will, no doubt be very good, i just hope its not too late for a lot of us

I think no matter what content SC adds, the game will get boring again very soon if you're bored with it right now. It just adds another layer but underneath it is still the same. If you want something game changing you have to change your game. Literally.

I am fine with the game in general except for the "next" button issue.

It kinda changes the perception of a mobile game for me.... And it's making me annoyed. I have spent close to $100 bucks to support the developers.

$100 is nothing much but i just want to play this game and not just next next next and keep spending time in the clouds.

This is clash of clans, not clash of clouds.

The game doesn't stagnant as the game is always evolving, the player just gets bored of the repetition, and lack of fun which is something the game is lacking - the social side saved this game.

Not really "stagnant" but more like your game is stagnant. The game itself isn't stagnant at all, it is doing much better and improving. What's stagnant is your progress, as you go higher you will experience a bit more slowness. Like all games, it will feel slower as it gets harder and harder. Longer things to progress with. Like upgrades taking over a week because they become stronger. Also more expensive. You can try to manage to farm enough before your upgrade ends. That's the bright side to look at. It is like most games, the game itself is not stagnant, but the progress.

Yeah i agree whole-heartedly but im just hoping a change comes sooner rather than later because I'm losing patience watching the game i love die slowly.Also i agree with originality but what we need is loot at this very moment and thats just giving us what we as a loyal player base deserve.Even if we just got a confirmation that this a high priority i would be happy, and would give me a reason to feel optimistic and hopeful

Hmnn i agree but what could be added onto the game? Its already perfect to me lol
