Balancing Blog Series: March 2016 Update

[Jeresum]

Do we have a sneek peek on time frame for the update?

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

damn, I was hoping there was a new Elixar Spell Factory coming out that I didn't know about.

My first impression is that I like this update. I only find one questionable point and this is the reduction of battle time back to 3 mins. SC justified their decision by claiming that this is something the "war community" requested, but the fact is that the war community is split, at best, on this issue. From what I have read in the forums and watched on YouTube, it appears that only a handful of extremely hard core war fans complained about the extra 30 secs, because it made 3 starring TH9s "too easy". However, numerous posts kept appearing on these forums requesting an extension of battle time, before the 30 sec extension was finally granted. I hope SC will reconsider this change and will not implement it after all.

Now 3 stars will be more valuable and even the damage percentage, I think it will be good.

I'd be the outlier then, but still I want to see some proof that ENTIRE community wanted 30 secs removed.

10 of these.

Ok Mr. Symantics. Of course entire is not the correct choice of words. How about, a very good portion of. Does that sit better with you? Because if you are going to simply continue to ignore the YT videos, the twitch rants, the Reddit posts, and even the few links that have been listed as a reminder in this very thread... it's pointless to continue having this conversation with you.

I get it. You like having an additional 30 seconds to complete an attack. Not everyone shares your view.

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.

The opinion of the "experts" should be what matters
CoC or not

Don't like the 30 second reduction. This should be for th9s and below but tth10s and 11s need those extra 30 seconds. While I agree with the fact that witches are OP, making them unable to trigger traps g

...or "spell"

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.

That doesn't make it just to remove 30 seconds. Just saying that SC should make more effort to hear out players BEFORE making such changes.
