Balancing Blog Series: March 2016 Update

"All Elixir Spells brewing time decreased to 20 minutes"

Does not seem very ambiguous or difficult to understand.

+1 ......

Who me links to all these threads from the war community that requested the 30 seconds be nerfed? I"m on the forums almost everyday and I rarely hardly ever see these posts. And not a single th10 or 11 would say that 3 minutes is enough for a solid 3 star attempt

It's kinda funny. I remember when the 30 seconds was added, and all the "elite war community" was on here saying it was a buff to the unskilled, the time wasn't necessary, if you couldn't 3* in 3min you didn't deserve it, get better, etc., etc.

Now they're taking it away, and the "elite war community" is panicking saying "OMG I NEED MY EXTRA 30 SECONDS, HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO 3*?!?"

It's rather amusing. That being said, I DO think they should keep the extra 30 seconds for TH10+, but the dichotomy of the community reaction is pretty funny...

Haha mate, people have been asking for this forever. Agreed with you

Be very careful what you read lol! Some of that may be correct but don't start making plans based on what you read from that. Why not just wait and see what's in the official sneak peeks and release notes coming any day now?

It's like this:

Hey everyone, new witch level 3! Hooray!

Many people buy gems, get witch level 3 = SC win! People who aren't as impatient try to save up to do all upgrades, just about get there and then...

Then they say witches nerf, nerf again, nerf yet again into oblivion. But wait...

Hey everyone, new troop coming!

Many people buy gems, get new troop = SC win!

Rinse, repeat.

Exactly, it's such ♥♥. They give you something, then counter it or nerf it and you are no better off than you were before. Every upgrade on offense gets met with an upgrade on defense. I'm done with this game for sure now.

Considering he doesn't even know how to spell elixir...

It's ok... But why nerf it AND take away 30 secs?
Surely it would be best to leave the time as is and adjust as required later?

You never watched any PowerBang, or OneHive videos? Its very apparent you did not.

COC is a casual game enjoyed by all walks of life. Some specialized COC-experts don't have the majority say on what's good or bad (maybe for them, but not for everybody). And SC is making it sound like everybody wanted it.

A company that hates it's community, which it depends on. Hmm, sounds reasonable.

It's not a lie. Almost every video Jake from Onehive puts out 3 min for th9 and below. He doesn't speak for me or most people in the game I know, but it has been said.

Great update. I think SC understood that good coummunication about changes is important.

Only issue: why not just allow buildings to be cancelled and be put into war only until completion. There are legitimate reason to cancel a building.
