matchmaking

Before the last update, my village would probably get raided once or twice per hour, obviously depending on if I was actively raiding, however if I was actively raiding I was probably getting raided 1-4 times per hour, with a majority of them being th snipers.

After this update, every time I close the app I will get attacked within a minute guaranteed. There has not been a time since the last update where I have not been attacked within at least 3 minutes. This has resulted in the last hour and a half of actively playing, losing over 5k dark elixir. So you can see how this makes me want to throw my phone against the wall.

For awhile I did not think much of it, however now it is getting ridiculous and I would like to know if there is an answer to the unbelievable spike in my village coming up in matchmaking, or if its supercell's problem.

From what I've heard, the update included a new searching system

do you know what that entails?

Nobody raids me in Master 3..for like 30 minutes..thats good..
If i switch to farming (Th outside) my shield is up in "second" good job with match making!

Yes, because more people are finding you. Trophy range is not important anymore... When you log off closer th are finding you, and if your base isn't well prepared they will hit you hard. If you are getting attacked repeatedly, your base design means they aren't getting your TH or 40%, in which case you should have a farming layout with your th outside of your resources are so exposed they are hitting them and running. It's a bad strategy to have your resources full too. Even if saving up, your best bet is to raid most of what you need on the day your builder is coming up free.

This update is simply separating the men from the boys, the casual players and those who play regular. More importantly, those who sit on collectors from those who attack to get better and power up, which is after all the name of the game. This update has the intention of pushing people to their th-appropriate league and working to stay up. I've heard people moan about how they can't be bothered or don't have the time to play a lot. Bottom line, if you want to fight and win and get better with a challenge, you'll play clash and get better. If you want to level up by turning up and just clicking sparkly 'collect' buttons....... Go play FarmVille or something instead.

Would you expect to win gold ahead of Usain Bolt just cos you'd bought a pair of running shoes and turned up at the stadium? No! You still have to train to get there. You'll either get there cos you're good enough or quit cos you aren't. That's what's called challenge.... Something people seem to have forgotten is what a video game is supposed to be.

yah i understand that supercell really did that new system to make the game more challenging but the problem is their 1 trophy victory its making the game loose its attacking purpose (to obtain 3 stars) because its useless to aim for 3 stars if you win just a trophy its like they're encouraging players to switch from being attackers to snipers this just sucks especially when you're in masters league that many players attack you

Yes and is totally a nightmare, doing farming is not that easy now, and when i get disconnected, 3 times i get attacked !! I really don't like the matchmaking is really hard now to get resources and when you get some you are attacked and loose it, really not fair ! :thumbsdown: In many wars or attacking, the game kicks you out of the game, i'm glad they are doing maintenance hope we get this as it was !!:thumbsup:

Farming is MUCH easier now, as farming focus is RAIDING FAR MORE THAN YOU STAND TO LOSE IN ATTACKS. If you are ending up in negative, you aren't getting shields, aren't raiding in blocks and likely have a poor base design with your th not easy enough to take. That's not farming. Farming is about raiding plenty and accounting for the losses you will inevitably take. What you are doing is 'grazing' - eating up the few morsels you're fed in your collectors and a few lazy raids and relying on the farmhand (Supercell) to ensure you're safe!

Oh and Soularis, I kinda hear that. The trophy system itself needs revising. But as for the point of the game? It's arguable that they have changed the focus to be more about the wars than the leagues, which would explain why they've not addressed the trophy system at all really since the game began.
