Opinions and free so I respect yours guys, but at the same time MY opinion is that these complaints are hilariously ridiculous.
If you can't handle cryptical/ambiguous information on an upcoming update you should be doing something else until the clan wars are here. If you can't do something else to occupy yourself in the meantime, you are a sad person, period.
Clan wars is a lot of information to wrap our heads around, and getting the information from the youtubers works for me just as well as from SC. They seem to be covering the basics pretty well, and have a better perspective to discuss it than the developers and others who have seen it every day and know it already.
For the vast majority of clashers who only see the final information that is released in the game it's going to be difficult to figure out all at once, no matter how great the tutorial is, so the early release of information and video give us a huge advantage when matched up with most of the clans out there.
Not saying I wouldn't change some of the way SC is releasing this, but it does seeming to be working pretty well and gathers more eyeballs and attention then a release solely from the company. I could easily see them having only released that hog cartoon and letting us stew for a week...:eek:
Hi,
Speaking as a Youtuber here not a Mod.
I guess things can always be done better and it is a learning process, but I personally thought inviting well known members of the community in to help launch something this big was a good idea. We speak for ourselves, we are certainly non corporate and we all have a different perspective on things. We wanted to give a player feel to what is coming really.
At the end of the day it is what it is, SC need to make changes when they see fit to the game pre-release which means some of what we saw might not be 100% accurate in the end, we make the occasional error in what we said as well (I know i did in one of my vids). But MOST of what we said in the videos is absolutely correct and shouldn't be disregarded.
I feel that this is a pretty new way of doing these releases and like anything new it's un-expected and not perfect.
I wanted to thank Supercell as well for allowing us into their workplace, giving us the chance to learn what goes on inside their awesome company and to a large extent to share that with the rest of the community.
I feel like this post is unnecessarily apologetic. You spend your personal time to provide content to the masses at no charge, and should be commended as such.Quote:

Nah, i get you. What I'm trying to say is. There is still a week before the update (heard that in one of the vids). You will get the information in a format you're asking but at the appropriate time. I personally wouldn't expect this until launch though. Same as Supercell do on every update as the fine points are subject to change i guess.Quote:

Trust me, the forum will be the place for the information you want but we have to wait until the final production version is released. As they've said in the videos the screens and values are all still changing.
I agree, and this isn't a tough choice. Also, being too "busy" to watch a video is hilarious. If that is even remotely true, then don't watch it. Go about your busy life, and before you know it clan wars will be released. Time flies when you are busy after all.Quote:

I rather like the way supercell did all this. It was a new way of doing it rather than lots of sneak peeks... This way, we can get all of our questions answered before the very complex war starts. It was kind of like sending in a news crew. But the best part is that we get it from four points of view. I cant help but scour the youtube channels waiting for the next vids from these guys. Speaking of which, Godson and Daddy... get off the forums and get back to it. ;)
Not only that, but having players go out and meet SC and shed light to the community that think they don't care about our ideas and requests should be valuable info to anyone. I'm also glad SC choose this route.Quote:

If we are honest then we knew that the visit from the youtube gang could only have ever meant clan wars.
We have been a little bit spoilt in how much we have been able to see pre-update - videos ranging from gameplay to matchmaking explainers... whether you choose to watch these or not is completely your choice.
but like a spoiled child, more is always wanted... we need to remember that this great feature that we requested is upon us and we should be excited!!
...give them an inch and they will take a mile... let's just have our inch for now.
NEXT WEEK WE HAVE CLAN WARS!!!
:)
I don't see the problem. There'll still be sneak peek, if you don't wanna spend 10 minutes of your precious life on youtube, then ignore them, you'll get your info much later than others and that's it. Either way, information will still be delivered to you before Clan wars officially hits.
