Supercell, Truth or Lies?

I said SC is trying to encourage the use of more diverse army compositions. It's blatantly obvious what their intention was in adding a fourth mortar, doubling the AT rate of fire, and increasing HP on perimeter buildings.

Just because they've attempted to nerf barch in the last two updates doesn't mean they're finished, either.

Something's not adding up.

Why else would they double the shot speed of the archer tower?

This is common sense, honestly. Now whether or not the changes are causing you issues are a different matter. After all, if you have max level archers they need max level towers.

The OP is stating that this is some sort of crazy scheme to screw the players. That's the part that isn't being agreed with.

It's kind of the sad tale of the day. Two years ago, apps were meant to be fun little Indy games which, sure, had a few IAP's but nothing outrageous or required to play. However, as the years go by, those Indy games have been bought out and turned into cash cows with ridiculous cash grubs and IAP's. Looking at you, Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies.

Clash is by no means the worst, in terms of blatantness, at least, but SuperCell is definitely manipulating the game mechanics to generate cash. Nothing wrong with that in premise, but, in this case, it has come at the cost of sustainable and enjoyable gameplay at higher levels.

The very fact that app games have "higher levels of gameplay" sort of totally negates your original premise. IF you yearn for a simpler game, go play one. If you enjoy the higher level complexities and challenges of CoC or its clones, play them.

I don't think you quite got what they were saying here.

They don't want the game to be simpler, they want the revenue model to be different.

I was responding to the "apps used to be fun little indy games" part that I quoted above. Still plenty of those fun little games left, most are free too.

Cough* Nerfing barch Cough*

Is Supercell a cash cow?
Have they sacrificed game quality?
Or have they done all the right things?
Pushed all the right buttons?

Would like to hear your opinions and any other thoughts you have on this,

It's about business which all lies. Just play it or quit it.

If it requires skill, then people start to complain. So so sad!

They still were referring to the revenue model, not the complexity.

What does "nerfing barch" have to Do with game quality?
1) barch wasn't nerfed you just need to get better with it
2) with this "nerf" and the update I think the quality of this game has been increased greatly.
