I dunno.. Weird.. But I didnt complain.. Expect the unexpected :p. No but seriously, fs is right. Explain yourselves SEE! :3
Just another one wanting an explanation, no idea how the update didn't count as the "next submission."
the new patch was only to take out the winter graphics
Doubt this update is the one they were talking about. All this did was change the loading screen and take the snow off. Patience young grasshopper.
It's a new update though, I can understand if it couldn't be fixed with a maintenance break but we actually had to download the update to remove snow so it should have been added. Just frustrating when you attack at high cups with this sort of thing happening. I didn't lose the attack but I guess i'm just frustrated it wasn't fixed.Quote:

I really don't see how this glitch affects you so much that you can't even push properly, probably just over exaggerating.Quote:

As I've said before, I'm not a top-tier attacker, so my wins are generally by razor-thing margins, making extra defenses shooting at me a very big deal.Quote:

It wasn't even a forced update so how do they fix xbow with it if half of the player base doesn't download it?Quote:

It's just my opinion on the matter, if you don't like it I really don't care. Most people don't have a problem with it either, and I bet the majority of people not on forums don't even know about it. Sounds like it's a you problem and not so much the glitch. You're barely winning attacks by the skin of your teeth so maybe work on that in the time being.Quote:

I suppose you're right that I shouldn't have called you out for being condescending, better to let the mods deal with it.Quote:

Yes agreed, I thought it would be fixed with this "Update" maybe by update they meant when they release th11:rolleyes:Quote:

I've been doing that, I've told other people to do that, but at some point you get sick of limiting your targets, and I'm at that point, mostly because I took Supercell at their word for when this would be fixed.Quote:

I find it really frustrating when people say things along the lines of, "It's not a big deal, just suck it up."
If you're saying that, you clearly haven't used balloonion in high Masters or Champs and experienced the issue firsthand. Until you do, you have no right to disregard the concerns of others.
I also find this rather ridiculous. They said it would be addressed in the next update. They could have added the fix to this update and made it mandatory instead of optional. It shouldn't take over a month to fix something as simple as this. Especially when it's causing people so much frustration.
Mods deal with what, that I came into the thread with facts and told you exactly why the glitch wasn't fixed and continued with my opinion on the matter? Get used to people not agreeing with you, it's how life works.Quote:

It's just not worth keeping them down. They didn't lie, it will be fixed in the next update. All this update was was to remove the winter theme that people constantly complain about.Quote:

It doesn't take them a month to fix it, but I gurantee it isn't as simple as you think it is either. Instead of a half baked update just to fix one simple glitch they offered to wait and give us a real update with other nice things that they spent this month working on.
It wasn't a real update as evidenced by the fact that I am still playing with snow on my screen. Most updates are required to continue playing the game. I wouldn't even know an update occurred if people were not posting on the forums about the removal of snow (and I probably won't be downloading the update since it doesn't appear to do anything important).Quote:

The nuisance I felt would be tenfold for high cup pushers.
It's an unforced update, they can only change things that affects locally, e.g loading screen and game skins/graphics etc.
They can't change codes and stuffs that affects everyone, that will require a forced update to make sure everyone is in sync.
And that is one thing I love about Clash of Clans. Even if there are bugs, everyone has the same bugs. It is always a level playing field.Quote:

Could be right, Zen. I would have preferred a forced update to fix the issue though if that was the case. It may not be an easy fix for them who knows... all I know is it's a frustrating issue at the moment that I wish was fixed already.Quote:

It has to do with the fact that the X-Bow setting isn't saved correctly in the layout editor. That means they knew more or less where the problem was. Honestly they probably fixed it in less than an hour.
I only have a limited understanding of programming, but from that experience identifying exactly where the problem lies is hardest part. With the first bug post SuperCell put up they admitted it happened but was inconsistent. With feedback from us players it was identified as issue with the new multiple base design saver.Quote:

That's completely true. It's the seemingly random bugs which are the hard ones to track down. I don't believe this is one of those. This bug came with the new layout editor. That seems to suggest that's where the problem is. If so, I'm sure I didn't take them long to find it.Quote:

Depending on the base and layout, this information determines if they should attack or not. So when you decide to attack based on that visual que and it turns out bugged, it dampens their ability to strategize.Quote:
