Just had our first clan war. I snag more loot in one raid than I do spending 48 hours in a clan war. What's the point? My efforts are better spent elsewhere, as I'm penalized for being involved in the clan war over randomly hitting targets for gold and elixir.
You have to win the war to get the huge loot bonus
No one is forcing you to participate. If ypi don't like them drop your trophies so you won't be in them.
And yes, when your clan wins you can get a lot of loot actually.
I got some of my best loot ever during my CW
What huge loot bonus?Quote:

I can get 1M+ in an hours time if I'm very lucky through normal raids.
The rewards in Clan Wars is just too minimal.
Trophies have nothing to do with Clan Wars, the overall base strength is what's calculated.Quote:

I agree..I kept up with it and spent over 500,000 on elixir donating troops, raising my army and took out high level enemy villages. My return was 108,900. Not worth the effort. Half the clan didn't participate and they got the same loot bonus. And i neglected my regular game. Just don't see the point!Quote:

I got 400k of each and 500 due. Took out a couple th8 bases. Plus got 45k of each res and 100-200 DE on each of my war attacks. Add it up and that's quite a bit for just 2 attacks.
Also you probably only got 100k each because your clan lost.
(Sorry for not using quotes for your texts. I'm on my phone)
Hope this helped
Lol, I love that everyone is assuming we lost. We won like 98 to 61 on stars. My loot bonus was maybe 220,000 gold and elixir. I've raided more than that in a single attack farming, why would I waste 48 hours in a clan war to get less. It's lame.
Now if they wanted to give us bonuses that involved gems or faster upgrades by winning a clan war, maybe I could see the point.....
Actually you can still loot other villages in between your two attacks. I farmed 3mil in resources and collected almost 500k of each gold and elixir loot bonus because of clan war win during war day. I know some believe they must keep their villages in war mode the whole time and do not realize that once war day starts they can return their village back to farm mode. Anyways, I hope you find good looting!
I realize you can do that, and you can also switch your base back to farming after the preparation phase ends. Obviously there were numerous hiccups with ours (preparation phase got stuck and didn't go to battle phase right away, then when we were in war many of us couldn't scout, etc)Quote:

Karn.. if all you got was 220, you either fought Low lvl players or you didn't win both your attacks. Whichever it was idk, but it can definitely be worth it
I won my two battles and 395K was donated to the clan castle but I only got 79K because we lost because some idiot farmers and high level players that either didn't participate or failed miserably.
I spent between 350,000 and 400,000 elixir on my two armies and making donations to clan castles. Where is the return on investment?
I don't want to participate in clan wars again.
I am going to leave my clan so I don't get caught up in another clan war.
BTW, I can/have looted 2,000,000 gold in a day so why do I need clan wars?
Clan wars is not profitable. It isn't worth my time. Now I have to leave the clan :( to avoid this non-sense.
What kind of loot are you getting during normal raids? Because after a clan war we just had, I got like 600k of each...Quote:

But for me it was nice. 400k of each and 500 DE. Then the 80k or so each during my first 2 attacks with a couple hundred DE. Adds up to about 480k each and 700-800 DE for 2 attacks.
What I'm saying is, it can be worth it. Just have good team work and farm again like normal after your 2 war map attacks
They won't make the idea of picking players because it could potentially lead to leaders that will troll and not let people join the war even if they are active.Quote:

I won both of my attacks, both were 3-star victories. I was saddled with the bug that prevented me from scouting, game would freeze up and not let me do anything else until I exited and restarted.Quote:

Had I been able to scout and chosen my targets, I might've made double what I did, plus a little dark elixir. Still nowhere near what I'd gain from farming over a period of 48 hours. Clan Wars is still mathematically proven to be a huge waste of my time as a TH7 farmer.
OK.... for everyone you have to scout the enemy bases during prep day and it works just fine. In my exp and that of others the game will freeze if you try to scout during Battle Day. (Scout the based first.)Quote:

After your 2 attacks be about your regular clashing. Get your normal loot the rest of the war day and at the end its like a bonus check.
Op doesn't understand the reason for clan wars. It's not there to make everyone rich in loot. It's there to have clans work together and cooperate for the good of the team.
If the loot isn't enough for your valuable "time," don't participate. Easy enough eh?
I think the wars fall short in gameplay and rewards. Only 2 attack for the 2 days of war is a waste of time. I was a maxed th8, we won our war I got 315k of each. I would expect something cool like a 24 hr boost to build time or RSS...or something. Its not that engaging or exciting to go through 2 days of a war for 4 min of attacking for a bit of RSS and who cares if you lose, your not really losing anything.just to b clear I'm only talking about the clan wars itself. Just my 2 cents
The main point here is clan wars wasn't made for people to gain tons of loot. It was made to give clans the opprotunity to work together and enjoy the comradre of destroying an enemy clan through cooperation. If you're the selfish guy who is only worried about loot, it's quite simple. Don't participate. Nothing wrong with you wanting to get the most out of your farming, but realize that clan wars wasn't made for farming.
individual excellence and team play is miles apart!!!
team play overshadows the former
I don't think anyone voicing their concerns think they will get ten mil gold for a war. I know I was actually hoping for a cooperative clan experience but was left with what we've been doing for a yr now and that is going to another clan and asking them if they want a trophy push. Each clan would start a specific time and see who gets more in 2 hours. Now that's all the new clan wars is and with no real reward or penalty. Our clan won by 22stars with no strategy, just log on see who's left and attack. It the same thing you do normally. You log on find a base and attack and see how many stars u can get.Quote:

Just to think people are greedy for wanting a more engaging experience is very narrow minded. 2 days of war for 4 min of game play is crazy. The clan wars has a chance to make this game seriously exciting, but until they choose to make things actually cooperative we will have to make the best out of it. Now y'all need to quit reading and get back in the game!!
What he means is that you drop trophies in order to not be in the top ## of your clan and getting selected for the war. But yeah, I won't want to go to sub-200 and work my way up againQuote:

And to say its "two days" of war is pretty far fetched. All in all, its a few minutes of scouting and two raids. To feel like you're somehow slighted for loot with an investment of 20 minutes of your time (or the OPs time I should say) is missing out on the spirit of the feature in my opinion.
Gems should be in the prize. For example, 5-10 gems for each person that won the clan wars. Or 50-100 gems for the winning team, and the gems will be divided to the top 10 players that did the most damages.
I concur. Gems should be awarded in some form during clan wars.
My clan lost and i got 220k.
Clan wars is based on giving the loot to the members who wins the attacks. You can be in the war and get nothing even if your base is attacked three or more times and the enemy loses each time(gets no stars).
Why bother in be in the war if the members who do participate but do not get an attack win get nothing when they have spent just as many resources when they are done with their 2 attacks. Does not seem like a team clan battle at all if the loot only goes to those who have won the stars.
At least, if you do your own raid you get something for the resources that you have spent.
Otherwise, I thought it was fun but the loot is not evenly distributed to all member who do partake in the battle.
