Guess you guys have seen the new DE troop video of Mr T and his Hog??
Looks like he can jump walls and take a few shots from mortars and Tesla towers too.
No use upgrading walls now, so far 2 of the new DE troops makes walls obsolete.
What do others think??
yeah they've really just killed walls ._.
And assuming no surprises, I will start my TH 9 upgrade for that very reason. Walls were the hardest thing left amd now they aren't as important anyway.
I'm probably going to start TH8 without maxing out walls as well.Quote:

I might bend the rules... maybe I won't max ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING first... I'll wait for the update first though.Quote:

This whole Dark Elixir heroes thing has left me cold. Archers, Barbarians and Goblins I can relate to but a black guy riding around on a pig? Seriously, what the ♥♥♥♥ is that all about?
I realise ultimately it's just a graphical excuse for some logical gameplay but there are trolls, dwarves, cyclops, minotaurs no end of fantastical, mythological adversaries to choose from. Yet CoC has to make up something so bizarre and politically sensitive as this??
Seriously, after all these weeks and all that time and effort (not to mention a fair few quid on gems) I am going to have to give my continued support some serious thought.
The gameplay better be bang on for these additions because I have to say, these new characters place Clash of Clans firmly in the kiddy corner. One thing's for sure, if I do keep going, I won't be sharing this obsession with my mates - well not the grown ups anyway.

i don't think you're going to see many hogs farming though... most people save their DE for heroes
Lets hope it costs 15000 each
sounds good to me guys, don't upgrade your walls! leaves more resources for me :P
Not really. Most get their heros and then don't care about DE any more because they don't want to increase their hero downtime.Quote:

Well Mr T riding on a Kentucky Fried Chicken would have been more stereotypical for sure.Quote:

do you have a problem with a new troop being black, or just that it resembles (very obviously) a TV character?your post seems to imply that you would be less upset if the troop was not black, which veers toward being awfully racist. Please be more clear what you are saying to avoid misinterpretation.Quote:

no one, and I mean NO ONE has posted anything about the Valkyrie being another female stereotype, fur bikini etc, or that she looks like Red Sonja. Funny how all the attention has been on the hog-rider.
If Mr T had been the walking troop and Red the pig rider, I doubt there would have been so much of a problem, and that is very interesting if it were the case.
No! Lets not hope it costs that much!!Quote:

Human being of unmentionable colour riding a pig - hmm, yeah, someone is going to have to explain that one to me.
Which heroic mythology is this referring to? Is the guy riding it the hero? Is it some reference to "pigs might fly". Is it an heroic pig with an ordinary human? I just don't get it.
For the record, and IMHO the Minion is a reasonable sop to some creature from the underworld and of course fantasy games are full of scantily clad women with extraordinary powers.
Bloke on a pig I don't get, whether he's black or not...

<edit> oh and I can't resist rising to the ad hominem: by a bizarre twist of fate I once interviewed Morgan Freeman and am happy to report he didn't think I was an idiot...
Stop the complaining :). We dont even know how much these costs. What if they were 500 de each or something high so we wont be able to use it constantly unless you gem of course? What if they take up 5-10 spaces for one? I dont hear you guys complaining that dragons can fly and have a huge HP/attack power. They take up 20 spaces, cost 40k elixir.
I have faith in Supercell as they will balance it so it doesnt get overpowered. Dont worry.
People are always going to complain about anything black.
Earlier there were no black units, so people complained.
So they added one, now people are complaining because he happens to ride a pig. Here is something to think about:
If the barbarian was black people would complain that the basic, most stupid unit, and most expendible unit, is a black guy.
If the archer was black, people would complain that the unit that typically is stashed in the clan castle, is like being summoned to a "slave quarters." A small 3x3 building with up to 25 archers inside.
If the goblin was black people would say that the game is racist for making a black unit the unit that prioritizes gold and other resources over all else. They would call the black unit the "greedy" unit.
If the giant was black, people would say the biggest, most hulking unit in the game, is stereotypical of the black athlete. They might also complain that the black giant is always sent in to this death, with the sole purpose of dying so the white army can flurish.
If the wall breaker was black (aka: suicide bomber) people would say it's a shot at black muslims.
A black healer, would be could be viewed as offensive becuause they don't actually fight, they are just there to serve the white army.
The list can go on and on. It's just a game everyone, just play it for what it is and enjoy the game without being so angry all the time. If you are offended by the game, don't play, simple as that. I for one, plan to keep playing CoC as I still enjoy the game and view the units colored pixels and nothing more.
Yes and people are always going to misunderstand. For the sake of argument, lets make this "hero" blue and just because there appear to be one or two of them in this very thread, we won't worry about upsetting any Smurfs.Quote:

Very, very true.Quote:

with regards to Mr. T. and walls i'm curious to see what his impact will be. to date our other wall ignoring troops were also immune to mortars and cannons, since these guys are ground troops i think they may not "nerf" walls. sure they ignore them but they don't poke a hole for the rest of their friends to come through and they are susceptible to more damage so they might die pretty quickly without some support from other troops. i guess it comes down to cost/troop space. if you can swarm these guys and it takes several splash damage shots to kill 'em that could be dangerous.
there could be some really effective uses though, such as taking out mortars/wizard towers/air defenses that sit right behind the first layer of walls. a healer Mr. T combo sounds a bit scary as a TH 8er. i look forward to learning more about these troops sometime in april when they are released.
Yes, u summed it up quite well.Quote:

Multi-racial society is the most difficult to please. Even until today, racism is all over the place.
Here's a simple test to see whether you are racist or not. I'm holding a gun to your head, and i present you with a question. Answer it wrong and i kill u, answer it correctly and i let u live. Here's the question, a convinient store was robbed last night by a man with a gun, eye witnesses said he was eating a piece of fried chicken before he entered the store, base on your smartest guess, is the suspect black or white?
My point is, we are all a little racist, let's not pretend.
I can't be wrong whatever the answer..because you've asked for MY smartest guess...Quote:

No, the suspect was caught and there is a correct answer. So u have to guess the correct answer.Quote:

there's a correct answers in terms of who was caught/did the robbery, but it's a whole different kettle of fish to ask for someone's smartest guess...because it's their opinion, and they therefore can't be wrong (unless they lie to themselves, but you wouldn't know this).Quote:

To be honest it looks to me like they just took the barbarian form, tinted him and added a mohawk and bushy eyebrows more than Mr T... but that may just be me. The hog i agree is a bit much... haven't ran across a hog that can jump over a wall a giant can't step over :p
Not to mention that annoying sound he makes when he gets deployed.
:rolleyes:
I don't need to know whether you are lying to yourself. There is a correct answer, and your life is on the line. As simple as that.Quote:

Exactly, except in this case, there are several hints to the identity of the robber. Feel free to ignore the hints though.Quote:

Hmm, good riddle. Based on the fact that you are holding a gun and care about the robbery of the store by someone with a gun, my guess would be that you held up the store. Therefore, in the interest of personal survival, I would say that the person who did it was the opposite of whatever skin colour you have.Quote:

Then I would call the A-Team and have Mr T pop a cap in you. While riding a singing pig from The Lion King.
Why not ask the witnesses who saw him eating fried chicken?Quote:

Why on earth would a dying man scribble "fried chicken" on the floor? And with what, his own blood? I would write "someone please feed my cat while I am dead".
Either he was pin pointing the murder weapon, or he was hungry and that was his dying wish.Quote:

So answer this....am I racist sandalhat?
That's a bloody mess.Quote:
