the only thing i see wrong with this game

this game is a awesome game how ever it has a major flaw and perhaps we as a group could try to address the issue.

the flaw is..... no reason to take time to enjoy 7/10ths of the game

level 1 thru 7 is usually blown thru without any thought to the amount of the game they are bypassing


this thread is not about how one level of base is better then the next
this thread is not about people rushing their bases
this thread is not about higher bases attacking lower bases
this thread is not a insult to people who do rush their base
this is not a thread on not gemming ( I have personally and will continue to buy gems )

this thread is about how there is no incentive to not rush your base

with that being said lets have a conversation on why there is no incentive to stay low level base.
lets have a conversation on what could be done to give people a reason not to rush their base

when you are all done with the tutorial you have a cannon and you are all excited about getting more defenses and how you want to crush other bases

so people do the mad scramble and either drop a few bucks into gems or the game becomes a obsession for about a week and you are totally crazed and cant let your phone out of your hands


and


you do every thing to get to the next level of base thinking your going to dominate if you can just get to dragons only to find out that no matter what you do, there will always be some one who can destroy your base. so the way of that warped way of thinking continues , ok dragons didn't work maybe pekkas.. or perhaps infernal towers, surly that will make you undefeatable right? wrong

am I saying that people should not upgrade their bases? nope people should , how ever I do think that there should be a reason not to rush your base , there should be a reason to enjoy the last weeks work you have done working on your level 5 base ( or any other level you are currently at)


in every game I have ever played there was always a reason to hover at a particular level,,, such as hidden items or a secret tricky spot to explore



super cell you created a awesome game but there is no reason to enjoy your low level playing ... you created a game that every one wants to rush to the end but no reason to enjoy the ride to that end,,


is there any thing supercell could do to encourage people to slow down and enjoy all the levels ? instead of jumping their way to th8 and 9 and finally onto th10 with regret?

I think it works very well as it is. It lets new people feel like they are accomplishing something by letting things progress fairly rapidly. If you slowed down th4 do the same game play as even a th8 it would take far too long for people to progress and they would lose many players before they get addicted. As it stands to get to the top of the game you are looking at spending thousands of dollars or years of playing. There are no rules as to how fast you progress. You want to go slow? fill your boots.

It's clever because you can do TH1-7 in the time you can do TH8. The whole concept of this was to introduce new players to the game quickly, not gradually. If new players were stuck for a long time on TH3 and TH4 they just wouldn't want to play it anymore.

The quick progress at the start makes people think: "OMG look at the top player his base is so cool. I want to be like that." And before they know it, because everything is going so fast they hit TH9 and realise..."Oh man you have to spend 24 hours a day on this game. Time to buy gems."

Supercell = Profit and more players because they got hooked so early on and thought it was going to be easy!

When the actual business model is "addict them & make them want to speed the game up with gems," do you really think Supercell is going to put together a task force to figure out how to help town hall 4's enjoy the gameplay more?

The whole idea early on is to make the upper levels seem insanely awesome, and create urgency to get there. If it wasn't that way the game wouldn't be profitable, and it then would be a terrible game because they wouldn't be able to hire and retain the staff needed to grow the game into what it is today.

Personally i enjoy my max th6 and max th7 by pushing and warring for one week.
But if you think you should stay 6 months in th6 and just enjoy that is not acceptable for me.
th8 is so unbalance and you cannot stay there otherwise will have full de storage and full elixir storages all time.
th9 is best for staying and practice strategies.

While this is true, it is not 7/10 of the game by any means.

If you add up all the time taken to build and upgrade everything (ignoring constraints on builders or on actually getting together the required resources), I think you will find that the sum of the times to max everything up to and including TH7 is closer to 1/10 than to 7/10 of the time to max everything up to and including TH10.

Slow down? This games only starts at TH9. TH1-8 is just to let you know what's this game is about. And most likely people who gems are the one at th9/10. That's when all the time consuming/effort comes in..
