Probably because gem sale is low, and they can do nothing but listen to people anyway.
This update looks so good!!
Interesting to see what it will be like designing th8 bases with 4 mortars, th9 and 10 won't be as interesting because they have 4 wizard towers and air defenses so it will just fit in.
Im from India so rather than calling this halloween update, we are calling it the diwali update...:D
PS - Diwali is the biggest festival in India and its on 23rd Oct this year.
war loot is badly needed and th8 dont need another mortar but its the biggest thing that has happened to th8 in a long time so supercell wanted to let they know they are also being considered when adding new things.it will be intereting to see how they will fit in but it doesnt affect dragon wars
Well, although many of us complain about a new mortar at TH8 (and I agree because it breaks many beautiful and balanced triangular designs), it will be VEEERY useful in defences against TH9s, because it is too easy for them to destroy TH8s. Well, a nice update overall, and higher bonuses are great to be implemented.
Collector buff.
Town hall banks a lot more loot. a lot more.
Training cost of hogs back to what it was before it was increased. (They were not nerffed till the double bomb update). Now they are over nerffed because hog attacks are iffy at best so they dont get used often
Clan war leagues
Push the button, push the button, push the button :cool::cool::cool:Quote:

diwali update .... sounds nice
How many minutes will the updates happen?
RIP Barching. Gotta find a new cheap comp to farm now.
A really well thought out update responding to sensible suggestions and concerns especially the increase in war loot. Thanks guys.
Can you give us a vague time of it 1 hour ish or is it in like 6 hours or 12 hours just a vague time not precise as the timing will be up to Apple and Google exactly but a general time look as "soon" with sc doesn't mean the same for everyone else in the world and a perfect example is the db how the last remaining 4 slots have been "coming soon" since March or April 2013Quote:

Mortar should be available to TH10 only. How are TH9's supposed to loot now? Good for defence, bad for looting - I dont think it was needed at all.Quote:

Other stuff doesnt really bother me.
I have to say I pretty much agree with this.Quote:

Are we sure it is a 4th mortar and not just a design change. It says "interface changes" - "new mortar at TH8". I guess we will know soon enough eh.....

Awesome! Looking forward to hearing more!Quote:

As far as i know, those are the only regular complaints left that they havent had at least a little go at solving.
Why do we have a feedback thread before the update even came out? How are we supposed to comment on stuff like loot bonus when we don't even know what the bonus is?!
Today is the day to Clash! :D
Because anything is a start. Doesnt matter how much more it is, its more loot around than before. Ideally lots more, but, still.....more.Quote:

- New stuffs are usually nice to have. No complaints here, looking forward to them.
Limited-time treats lasting through Halloween weekend
- Always nice to have a 1 gem boost :)
Clan profile and search improvements
- Neat little additions, I like the extended clan descriptions the most.
Increased League bonus and more War loot
- I guess this is one way to improve the economy, hope it's enough.
Boost improvements
- This is a sneaky way into getting people to boost more :P. I usually only do 2 barracks at a time with BAM and BArch. However, the boost pause/resume is fairly good, what about boost during mandatory breaks?
Other Interface Improvements
✔ New Mortar at Town Hall 8
- Dangit, this will make BArching a bit tougher now...
✔ Player profile now shows the highest unlocked level of a player’s troops, heroes and spells!
- Very fancy, very good for recruiting people.
✔ The Hero icons will now show Hero ability status also in replays
- This feels more like a bug fix than interface improvement...should have been like that from the beginning.
✔ Army camp contents are now visible to visitors in the Army Camp info screen
- Also seemed like a bug fix...you guys kinda lumped the changes with the CW camp/cc view with the normal camp/cc when you blocked opponents from viewing CW cc troops.
✔ Time to remove obstacles is now lower
- There's really no point to have this timer be any longer than 10 seconds...just give enough time to cancel removal when you accidentally clicked on removing an obstacle that you wanted to keep, ie trying to keep a tree stump forest.
✔ Increased War loot storage capacity on all Clan Castle levels
- Well...of course you'd have to do this if you increased the CW loot bonus.
which country?Quote:

As it has been said already. I too like this update. It doesn't solve everything but at least its a step in the right direction.
Don't worry, everyone gets the update almost at the same time.Quote:

Sure, its not there yet to download but the image is that of halloween update and the information about what is comming is there. They are not neccesarely trolling you guys as much as spreading misunderstood information. Which is silly, but really if you are fanatic about the updates you would be following the facebook page as that is most likely the first to be updated.
Correct but not available to update.Quote:

I saw a few questions about how much the increase is, so I added a few more details to the original post, same info here:
✔ Get at least 20% more Gold, Elixir and Dark Elixir from Clan Wars, win or lose!
✔ Keep more of your war loot even if your Clan doesn’t win the Clan War
✔ Store more war loot in your Clan Castle
✔ Get a bigger League bonus from winning multiplayer battles in all Leagues
Getting a "Attacking is disabled for a few minutes" message now.
Still no update in play store though.

Might be just me. I just tripped the timer for playing too long and got kicked out, so it might be related to that.Quote:

More info about loot increase:
✔ Get at least 20% more Gold, Elixir and Dark Elixir from Clan Wars, win or lose!
✔ Keep more of your war loot even if your Clan doesn’t win the Clan War
✔ Store more war loot in your Clan Castle
✔ Get a bigger League bonus from winning multiplayer battles in all Leagues
Now, maintenance started!Quote:

let's hope league bonus will get a better improvement !
Yup, ive also got attacking is disable while maintenance break is over message
what about the Valkyrie? wasn't there some mention about this troop?
Maintenance break just started, with one hour and a half to go :)
Really excited about this update, especially the little loot league bonuses increase, and in war too.
And the 4th mortar.. Well on thing's for sure, I wasn't excepting it to be available at th8 too, but that's just for the better, can't wait to start upgrading it :D
And same for the skeleton trap :)
Feedback?
Well, hard to feedback before playing the update, but since you asked already...
New permanent trap: The Skeleton Trap!
✔ Ambush and distract your enemies with a small group of Skeleton troops! They might be short-lived, but will certainly get some attention.
✔ Skeleton Traps can be set to target either ground troops or air troops. Find the right mix of trap modes for your village!
✔ Skeleton Traps become available at Town Hall 8 and can be upgraded to deploy more skeletons at once.
Fine. Sounds nice. Cant really say more than that at this stage...
Limited-time treats lasting through Halloween weekend
✔ 1-gem Spell Factory boost special is back!
✔ Harvest some bonus Elixir from special Halloween Headstone obstacles
Thanks. Not sure why i'd be gemming my spells...I am not exactly raiding very much so normal speed is fine actually...in fact, I dont waste elixir on spells. Its not as if I'd get it back and then some from the raid I eventually take #fixtheloot
Clan profile and search improvements
✔ Specify your Clan’s war frequency in your Clan profile, anything from always to never
✔ Specify your Clan’s location, or declare it as International
✔ Search other Clans by war frequency, location, member count and minimum clan points, even without specifying a search name
✔ Know what Clan you’re searching for? Search via hashtag to get the exact result you need.
✔ Clan descriptions can now be much longer!
Nice - this will help people I suppose. Leaders, Elders and players alike...
Increased League bonus and more War loot
✔ League bonuses increased on all League levels!
✔ More War loot! Increased rewards from victory, defeat and draw
Ok - loot bonus will help with the loot drought - if it is significant. I mean, you probably need to at least double it below Master league to be fair. The situation is truly dire and an extra 10k on the bonus will not help. People are literally choosing NOT to raid rather than play the game...but you know this. I'm sure your stats confirm...
Need to see what the WAR increase is...but there are a number of other, more fundamental reasons why i do not war. I will come on to them in a bit...
Boost improvements
✔ Boost all buildings of the same type with one button
✔ Barracks, Spell Factory and Hero boosts will now be automatically paused during maintenance and can be resumed later for free
✔ Slightly reduced boost cost for Elixir Pump level 11, Gold Mine level 11 and Dark Elixir Drill levels 5 & 6
- Boost all buildings - doesnt bother me. Would have rather seen dev time go into something else
- Pausing boosts during maintenance. Good. About time on that one, not that it impacts me as a non boosting farmer.
- Reduced boost cost of pumps. Thumbs down. Fix the loot at the point we raid and stop trying to make people pay for resources...
Other Interface Improvements
✔ New Mortar at Town Hall 8
✔ Player profile now shows the highest unlocked level of a player’s troops, heroes and spells!
✔ The Hero icons will now show Hero ability status also in replays
✔ Army camp contents are now visible to visitors in the Army Camp info screen
✔ Time to remove obstacles is now lower
✔ Increased War loot storage capacity on all Clan Castle levels
New mortar. I think that on balance it will be bad for people using barch or armies like that...
Player profile - nice
Hero icon - so?
Army camp visible to visitors - yay! Oh hang on, i dont care
Time to remove obstacles? Who cares? How about reduce the cost of next?!
Increased war loot storage - ok whatever.
Things you are missing...
- Builder lag bug
- Lack of fresh content - same old game for waaay too long - too many people maxing their base and raiding for just walls and heroes. Fresh content is not simply something else to upgrade!!! Its alterations to gameplay...grow the game...dont just recycle the same old stuff. Except for war, what has changed in 2 years?? Your players are getting bored
- Opt out in war so your clan does not need to pure war or pure "non war"....some of us like different things, let us remain in the clan regardless of war preference.
- War is still quite boring. Can we have clan perks that build the more wars you win? How about territories so we can build an empire - bigger empire, bigger status and reward...I'm sure given the gameplay of boom beach you can make that work - its not too dissimilar
- I'd say loot is still a major issue even after you league bonus alteration but i will wait to see what you have planned
Oh, have to go but I still had a few more...I might edit but if not, my grade for you is:
C+
SC has the potential to do much better but is messing around too much and takes too long to grasp new concepts. Another term like this and their future is in question
The big red button has been hit.Quote:

Here's what we'r waiting for...Maintenance is on d way..1 1/2 hrs. Can't wait. Tnx SC!😊😊😊
I'm getting the maintenance message now! Its happening:o
I love the new update, all except 4th mortar for TH8. The skeleton trap is an awesome addition - we needed a new trap. You have addressed the economy, so thank you for that. Always love a Halloween theme and you have delivered. THANKS SC
Agreed, But if am a trophy pushing th10 and find a th8 in champs...i sure aim 3 stars( and i derserve it for being alot higher lvl with strong heroes and 5 spells) and i dont think it will change by adding another mortar.Quote:

Nooo. I was farming!Quote:

The new mortar is going to make the loot problem worse. The only way to cut an profit on elixer before was barch, now u are taking that away? Wow. Why don't u just make it mandatory to spend gems, that's what u r working towards. Unless the league bonus triples, this Is going to heavily unbalance the game. The economy has just recently stabilized, and now this.
before the maintenance my google + wasnt sign in what will happen ? :'(
Marika will this update prevent any troop from being selected as default during matchmaking? Dropping a troop unwantedly is SUCH a pain particularly when this occurs numerous times everday!
Other than that thankyou for providing us with another awesome update! :cool:
NB. The addition of increased league bonus is much appreciated. ;)
Thanks for the information Marika. I always appreciate supercell listens to the players. Yall improve the game to keep it interesting. I've been playing 1 1/2 years and will continue to do so. Thanks again and Happy Halloween! Clash On!
Wow, what a fantasic update. Now the full notes are available this is probably one of the best since Clan Wars.
This goes to show that Supercell do listen to the community. All the vitreol, the venom and bitterness needs to stop now.
Increasing loot bonuses for Clan Wars and Leagues was the simpliest way to inject a little more cash into the economy.
Well done Supercell!
Great war improvements! Though, I really hoped there will be some war league finally. Now we can compete in wars with other clans only by total wins...
Everything we asked for! Everyone wanted new traps and lower obstacle cut down time!
update ready or after break?

Now, the prospect of upgrading another mortar and some new traps is thrilling, but it is not quite enough...sorry...
My previous post will get lost in the "Yay the update is coming" posts but I think SC have an awful lot to do to be honest. I run a high level clan and people that love the game are leaving. 'nuff said...
Now these changes are very welcome. I wasn't anticipating loot changes in the Halloween update. Great to see that these have been included.Quote:

For all those that are already complaining about fresh content - you are clearly not being fair to SC. The skeleton traps alone has a significant affect on all attacks and base design. Think of all the things you can do on defense by placing the traps strategically. You can use it to lure troops, heroes or what not, away from your storages or THs... totally disrupting the original goal of the attacker.
It's impossible for SC, nor would they want to, introduce "game changers" on every update. Although, tbh, this update although not apparent, is load with game changers.
New permanent trap: The Skeleton Trap!
✔ Ambush and distract your enemies with a small group of Skeleton troops! They might be short-lived, but will certainly get some attention.
✔ Skeleton Traps can be set to target either ground troops or air troops. Find the right mix of trap modes for your village!
✔ Skeleton Traps become available at Town Hall 8 and can be upgraded to deploy more skeletons at once.
Great addition that would surely change the way people defend
Limited-time treats lasting through Halloween weekend
✔ 1-gem Spell Factory boost special is back!
✔ Harvest some bonus Elixir from special Halloween Headstone obstacles
Nice festive theme
Clan profile and search improvements
✔ Specify your Clan’s war frequency in your Clan profile, anything from always to never

✔ Search other Clans by war frequency, location, member count and minimum clan points, even without specifying a search name
✔ Know what Clan you’re searching for? Search via hashtag to get the exact result you need.

Much need to find more suitable clans and clan mates
Increased League bonus and more War loot
✔ Get at least 20% more Gold, Elixir and Dark Elixir from Clan Wars, win or lose!
✔ Keep more of your war loot even if your Clan doesn’t win the Clan War
✔ Store more war loot in your Clan Castle
✔ Get a bigger League bonus from winning multiplayer battles in all Leagues
This MIGHT just improve the loot and encourage wars
Boost improvements
✔ Boost all buildings of the same type with one button
✔ Barracks, Spell Factory and Hero boosts will now be automatically paused during maintenance and can be resumed later for free
✔ Slightly reduced boost cost for Elixir Pump level 11, Gold Mine level 11 and Dark Elixir Drill levels 5 & 6
Little things like this make the game easier to play
Other Interface Improvements

✔ The Hero icons will now show Hero ability status also in replays
✔ Army camp contents are now visible to visitors in the Army Camp info screen
✔ Time to remove obstacles is now lower
✔ Increased War loot storage capacity on all Clan Castle levels
I still feel that the mortar should be for TH9
I think Clan Wars is the answer to your content concerns. If you've exhausted all of the gameplay in terms of upgrades then clan wars is the way to continue to get enjoyment from the game. If you're not enjoying any aspect of this game, you should probably stop playing.Quote:

If you're clan is full of miserable people, it is best for them and for SC that they leave the game. I, along with you, and your clan mates have played the game long enough to know that SC will not release content at the rate you are asking.Quote:

AWWWWWW YEAHHHH!!!!
Hope the league bonus will fix the issue.;)
An additional mortar will be a nightmare for TH9 barch farmers.
Skeleton trap serves as invisible clan castle troops, if placed correctly can distract the gowipe/Gowiwi/Dragon attack.
Time to consider a new base design folks
Awesome Update :) , Nice work Supercell :)
