Everything will get back to normal soon enough, I'm sure of it. As far as I'm concerned, being able to upgrade 3 archer towers to level 8, 2 wizard towers to level 4, maxing purple walls and started skulling in a week says quite a bit... Stop complaining.

A message to everyone getting all stressed out; R E L A X... Sure, SC want to make money - but no one's forcing you to keep playing & paying. Everything balances out at some point after an update. Be patient.

Agreed. Steve seems to be incredibly active on the forums compared to what supercells presence was like back in October or November. I agree on loot too, but was disappointed that as per usual they tweak research times that were admittedly outrageous. Even though they were outrageous, they were at least equally outrageous for everybody. Changing those a month after the initial dark troop update is absurd to me.

Anyways, your post makes me sad, since I literally spend my days listening to you guys, passing on and discussing your feedback with the game team. Maybe I dreamt it all?


When a change goes out, and a group of users don't like it, there isn't some magic ability to instantly roll back and correct a change of rewrite a feature. It's a serve side game which means any decision we make could take weeks or months to alter again. We listen to feedback and develop deliberately, with careful thought and consideration for each change due to this. While nothing I can say on this thread will change your mind, you can rest assured that there is Supercell staff and Mods CONSTANTLY combing through your feedback and finding the best compromise with the dev team on how to make the best Clash of Clans experience possible for all users, paying or not.


Also, I always find post-update loots a bit frustrating. This is due to a combination of factors. One of them being that many inactive players return and spend their loot. Another is that already active users are also shelling out a ton of loot and there is less available. And yes, inactive users are pushed farther down the battle queue all the time. We've never changed this, not with this update, not with any update. Churn is part of any game, and you have to build in considerations for that in MMO style games.


Hope that sheds a bit of light.


We'll continue to work on finding the ideal balance for everyone. Sometimes you should just expect a bit of give and take from update-to-update. We're not claiming to be perfect!

I was under the impression that those expressions were as much commonplace as generic replies, apparently I misjudged. Sarcastic comments aside, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I would however implore you to carefully re read through the entire thread, as Im sure you already have, and really read what people are saying.A few good ideas have been tossed around, and good questions asked.

This was all just "sarcasm".

Yeah okay. Reflex pseudo-contrition.

Definitely. And I appreciate you taking the time to post as well. I can't read and respond to every single post on a thread in detail, but I try to get the general impressions.

What are some of the best ideas you've read so far? You'd be doing me a huge favor to sum them up for me!

Also, I try to jump in whenever possible, and in particular when users feel they aren't being listened to. It's pretty important to us that you guys know we're here for you!

I think a lot of us would be happy for a one day Gem sale or weekend sale etc. Supercell does specials on it's other cash cow game Hay Day. Therefore, it seems logical a 700+ million business could have a Gem sale at least once this year

Why would anybody lower the price of something if the demand is still incredibly high? Logically this argument makes the least sense of all. Hay day has nowhere near the revenue COC does, therefore it makes sense to entice ppl to buy gems.

Good to see one of you actually watching in here. Can't you see a LOT of us are not happy because the update has killed loot, some of us have put money into the game, more than we would for games on other platforms. I feel a bit done over because it sometimes feels like I'm playing a running Beta - there have been numerous glitches/bugs/odd changes - the archers still continue to fire at insignificant walls even though towers are pelting them - dragons still wander off ignoring important defences and storages, to fire at camps that were further away when you dropped them ... wbs still won't run through gaps you've made with other wbs ... they still seem a little random in what they are aiming for, meaning we need to brew twice as many as we actually need! The extra air defence has made healers and dragons extremely hard to use [at least on bases that are well looked after] and I'd just completed upgrading the dragons I couldn't wait to use, now they're a bit ... well, meh ... I've emailed SC about my concerns, got a half-hearted response, at least i got one I guess ... but after spending money on the game, because I was enjoying it, now I feel I'm only continuing to play on because I can't get that money back! Come on here and complain [because it's the only place to really] and you get all this "leave your storages outside, bye ... etc ..] you feel alienated for being any way negative about something you did love, put money into, but now feel a bit robbed over ...

Well, there's some food for thought.

[edit because apparently 'c h e a ted' is a bad word!!?
