Clan Wars, what's up and down? Such mess...

Seeriously!? No one touched on the fact that this game was developed around the concept of a global COMMUNITY!!!! I understand that often times gamers are introverts, don't care much for social settings, and and also tend to have inflamed elitest attitudes (all of which are very evident in this thread btw). I'm not bashing anyone here, but it's something people need to get over if they play this game. SC is not your typical gaming company, they value their global community more than you can imagine. That's why they have done things this way. It's them trying to show all the hate mongers out there that complain about the way they operate, that they really are paying attention to their players and those that are VERY passionate and dedicated to their games.

Complaining about not having time to watch you tube videos!? REALLY!!??? But you have time to browse and search the forums, and you've obviously seen the videos because you're complaining about them, and then made a thread to complain about them, and are now having back and forth discussions to complain about them...... Hmmm sounds like this isn't really an issue of having time. And besides CoC is MASSIVELY time consuming, so perhaps it's time mangent that is the real issue here.

Give it time, you don't have to watch the you tube vids. SC WILL release official vids and sneak peeks, there WILL be in game turorials. Oh, and if the issue was really about the information regarding clan wars being difficult to understand, perhaps you could have checked the sticky in this sub forum titled "clan wars questions", or simply started your own thread, nicely stating your confusion, and people would have gladly answered your questions. There is already far too much negativity, bashing, flaming, blaming, complaining, arguing on these forums, lets all try not to add to the "mess" as OP called it.

Let me say, I have no disrespect towards any of the four "YouTubers". But why do we have to follow four different channels of some guys spending half of the video doing "300 PEKKA phun attacks" or showing off their own town? I don't understand why, Supercell didn't prepare an official "one truth video/post" with all the available information.

Although I guess the hype from four "YouTubers" beats clear information from a marketing perspective.

Looking forward to the update nonetheless, good job on that!


Am I the only one that feels this way?

You are right in many regards, but hearing reviews from fellow experienced clashers is nice in its own right. These 4 have different perspectives and personalities, I watch all 4, some for the first time ever, during this time. I have found not all videos are great, but collectively I am having a good experience.

simon tay usually has the most professional presentation out of those 4 youtubers....if u need to pick one alone to follow then i'd suggest you choose him

^ and ^^ Exactly.

The update hasn't even been released YET there are bits being unveiled. Still complain? You can't be serious.

BUT :

- their official teaser is a hog and its rider singing on a piano driven by a barbarian. Really ?
- they have done all these April fools and Easter eggs stuffs, so people are all confused.
- their other official way of communication about CW is via Youtubers : is it normal that you have to watch four different channels to make yourself an idea which isn't accurate because videos are bad (yes I'm sorry, I'm not saying they are bad just for the pleasure, they are bad) and because Youtubers are talking about an update which has been tweaked since the last time they have played on it. Seriously ? So you're supposed to make yourself an opinion about this update with these videos, but you have to be careful because what you see is not what you will get ? What the hell ?

Of course this was mean well, but what has this led to ? Everything's confusing, everybody seems to have its own opinion. This is fun, whatever you want to, but not professional at all.

To my knowledge everything I have played has remained the same as I've been also double checking with the dev team about the stats. However it is likely some minor changes may occurred if supercell decides to alter anything. Sneaky Dave made a good point to wait until the official release which is a good idea, my apologies if u weren't trolling. But I can say at the minimum, clan wars will defiantly be well accepted by the community as a whole and open more possibilities of engagement between clans. =]

You don't have to apologize, it's rather me, i don't want to seem rude. You're right in what you said above, and I don't want to bash Supercell or Youtubers, I just feel like they could have avoided all this confusing stuffs. To make it short, I would have appreciated that SC told us the guidelines of this update, and you Youtubers go deeper with your videos. Instead, it's like they did this video, told us CW is coming and they are like : "go watch these 4 channels and make your own way about CW". This is what's confusing in my opinion.

Anyway, as some people said, Simon Tay's yesterday video was nice, and I liked your video about CW loot and CC. Enough said in a short time, let's give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.

Cant say I disagree...

The old method of sneak peek at a generally consistent time of the day, each day up until the update worked fine...these videos, which I have not watched, should be an added extra for the people that have time to do so...but there should also be a SC owned area that pulls ALL the facts together so the information is not so fragmented.

Good job to the Youtubers, no disrespect to them...it is very time consuming making videos so they deserve props...but some of us have limited time and its much easier to look at a sneak peek thread with new info at the top than it is to watch a load of videos...imo...

100% Agree, I like CoC and very optimist to its future because the SUPERCELL is trying hard to reach the players and listen to what they want, I think this complain is because people not patience enough to wait.

So please be patience, the update will come along with its official FAQ. don't watch youtube if you don't want to, no one will care if you watch or not.

Good Job supercell for the effort. Thank you, keep up the good work and keep listen to the players ideas.

Its easier to look on the facebook page via smartphone while at work / school one page...sneak peak features very clear...and the forum detail is easy to read... not so easy to watch a 5 min video ... or 4...or 8...etc

edit - oh, i thought these vids was how SC were announcing things...so sneak peeks have NOT started??

Wow.

Lighten up, you are taking this WAY too seriously.

There are almost no words for how over the top and ridiculous your posts are becoming.

I have a pretty solid grasp on clan wars from the youtube videos, they were fun, sometimes cheeky, just a little bit of flavor. Sure there are some extra details to dig into either with release notes or with additional videos. I will also add that in some ways the videos go into more depth than a well polished marketing piece because you actually get into more of the nuts and bolts of the gameplay with the youtubers.
