*claps* *takes out gold medal from pocket*
This might be a 3 billion $ company, but one with only around 100 people (it were 85 in the mid of 2013) working for it... And a lot of them are accountants, marketing people, assistants, secretaries, and whatever... Let's say that there are around 60 programmers and testers, working on THREE games..... It's 20 a game... So what ?Quote:

And these were Premium Titles, also hyped by marketing and costing a lot of money.... And also there games were for days/weeks not playable after the release....
So we're talking about a FREE app... No one forces you to pay for it... And believe me, that there might be also millions of players playing it... I would say that it might be much more players than on these premium titles from these bigger companies.... So what SC is trying to handle with this small amount of people is outstanding...
So the only guy talking rubbish might be you... Go back to your Troll-Hole...
@the mods: Sorry for naming two games, but I hope it was ok in this context, also as both games are running on a different platform and in a complete different segment of the games-market...
@SC: you're doing an amazing job... And I know what I'm talking about, working by myself for over 25 years in the Game-industries in all possible positions... So don't let the trolls get close to you... You've earned tons of respect from the major companies, also in the one I'm working for.... And also by some "legendary" designer I'm working for and with...
And on behalf of the many people who've spent their hard earned money getting ready for a Clan War they can't participate in, I would like to apologize and furthermore, request a refund for what they've spent the past two days.Quote:

Have a wonderful day! 😃
We'll said OP.
Sure, there have been issues - and maybe they could have been avoided. But we shouldn't let that overshadow the fact that this is a much more significant addition than many of us anticipated. I for one thought that CW, if it ever came, was gonna be a bit of a cop out.
I love that sc didn't take the easy route and has been prepared to put their cash cow at risk with such a bold update so long in the making. Even a tiny bit of risk is not something that most companies can handle when it comes to messing around with a multimillion dollar/day customer base. Especially when they have another shiny new game launching.
From what I've seen, once they fix the current issues, CW is going to be amazing - creating variety - able to sit alongside regular gameplay without distorting it too much - injecting resources into the game in a way that doesn't encourage just 'grinding' it out, but also doesn't force anyone to do anything they don't want.
Agreed, despite a few minor bugs it's worked well and will only improve in the future ... Only thing I would like to see is an opt out button for players that cant or dont want to take part in the next upcoming battle, we have a few members missing or have left the clan. Ow and has left our battle a bit unbalanced ..
Despite a few minor bugs? Have you been paying attention?Quote:

Doesn't make SC bad guys. Doesn't make the developers bad guys. Doesn't make their intentions wrong. Doesn't mean I am a whiner. Doesn't mean they owe me anything. Doesn't mean I don't support the idea of Clan Wars. Doesn't mean anything other than that.
SC screwed up the launch of their biggest update ever to their biggest game. We will see where it goes from here, but no one needs to apologize for pointing out the obvious. And it doesn't interfere with the fact that Clan Wars is a great idea, much desired, they worked hard on it, and hopefully it will work well soon. :D
Ok so SC must have tested it themselves.. then they got youtubers to test it (that imo was a beta test) and they have now released the update to the whole community... if you are going to do something as big as that you would expect pretty much all the bugs to be ironed out... as for us... nothing even worked.Quote:

Its the same philosophy with submitting a piece of work... when you sumbit the final draft, the piece should be as close to perfection as you believe so.
Do you normally carry around gold medals?Quote:
