Supercell I have a message for you.

There's also something to be said that you want what you can't have and don't want what you can have. Part of what makes the game successful for a long period of time compared to other mobile games is anticipation.

Also, if they gave dates and something outside of their control happened where they missed it, it would be suicide because people would be on here complaining that they broke promises. There are a lot of moving parts for each update to come out and many of those SC doesn't necessarily control, such as Google and Apple approvals.

Remember, that the forum is a very, very small portion of the people playing the game. I think people that play and are on the forums are more likely to be frustrated because they see the hype about updates. I know many that play this game and don't get on the forum and they seem far more content with the game than the ones that do get on the forum.

At the end of the day, they run a business and provide a service. If people are not happy, they can not continue to buy gems or play the game and move to something that better suits their needs.

If everyone in a clan quits around the same time, a person with common sense would realise its the clan that has problems and not the game.

Supercell has handled updates the same way for the entire time I've played. If you knew what you were talking about they'd be on the brink of collapse. They are not.

Supercell has made countless updates based on user feedback. You are way off.

I love these rant threads...... " SC is hugely successful, number one this, number one that, but if they don't change and start doing it my way they will go out of business"

sigh, they managed to grow the top game without any input from you, none, zero, I think they may know what they are doing.... ranting about them not running their business they way you run yours isn't going to change their business model, Afterall they make billions and im guessing your yearly sales are slightly less. I know this is a big assumption, but if you were running a multi billion dollar company you probably wouldn't have time to start threads like this.

They do however, have a place for ideas and new feature requests, some of them make it into the game. If you have an actuall idea for an improvement please post it there. Include details on the idea and how it will improve the game. That will be helpful. ,

We customers are full of awful ideas that would either break the game or end gem sales. They have no obligation to make us happy at all. Only a bottom line they need to keep healthy. So far they have managed to do a phenomenal job with a few hiccups along the way.


Stick to what you are good at, Clash of Clans, and continue to continually improve it, and satisfy your customer base. Simple.
I completely disagree with you on this one. Videogames have a shelf life. Historically mobile games have had a significantly shorter shelf life than other online games. If SC is smart they are spending most of their energy and funds on a new game (CoC#2 perhaps?) which may include many of the suggestions we have made here in a game/codebase that already supports them. Trying to phase CoC out graciously over the next 12-24 months with a replacement is probably a better long term business plan.

My $0.02 worth of dissenting opinion above in bold. Take it for what its worth.

how do you know they can do that? how you know they can just say "hey we're going to put this update out at this time just letting you know"? Last I checked there were channels they had to go through in order to even get a date set. There was one update a few months ago that they couldn't release because apple had to finalize everything before they could fully release it. Also if they're quiet there might not be an update coming as soon as you think. like you said if a company is quiet wouldn't that mean nothing is happening?...mate

They dont put those dates out until it is completely done and ready. Movies make a guess but it usually gets pushed or they put it so far out that there is no way they wont be done.

I think your right they should communicate with us more even a small chat but not just once a day or twice, i think they can reveal some of their future plans not all of them but some of small improvments etc that will 100% cme to game

Be patient and wait, there is a new content coming out all of the time. If you want to speculate and theory craft on the boards along with everyone else feel free to, otherwise cool your circuits the info will come when it's time.

At some point this game will die. A game developer should develop new games and not just add extensions to an old one. How long an old game can be maintained. Well we will see.

As for SC having to listen to us. Well it's their game. I loved the Wizards time. Hated the dragons event. I'm sure tons loved them. They can't please everyone. But they sure made tons of good improvements
