Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[TopKnotch]

Any remotely active war focused clan can take advantage of this. Everyone copy their mirror. Add info from fresh hit scouts. Work with clan mate who is on clean up. Please don't make it seem like this tiny % will be able to pull this off.

Even if it's to get the aq walk Pathing down its a huge advantage. This without some sort of controls in place is mind numbing. We will see soon enough.

Strongly agree, exactly what i was thinking

My initial thought- and yes, doesn't count for much... the octopus cannot stop modding, so lets give the ability to sandbox to everyone.

I get why everyone thinks this is ♥♥♥♥ for war, but I feel like this isn't going to straight up ruin wars. People that take the time to copy a war base would need to have exactly the same hero levels, wall levels, defense levels, and know where all the traps are? It will be pretty difficult to 100% mirror a base, that being said, educated guesses of the traps are pretty easy, and I still think the clans that take the time to friendly challenge copies of their war targets will end up 3starring everything. But before everyone packs their ladyparts all full of sand, lets at least see how if it works?

I suppose Supercell is going to consider this FairPlay since everyone gets to do it. It is, in a sense, but it is also not the way I want to play the game. I prefer the skill it takes to 3* without practice, and I refuse to adapt to wasting time practicing against bases just to be competitive in wars. We've beaten modder clans before and we're currently on a 10 win streak, but this is likely the last straw for me.

Shame for Supercell since I was spending actual $ to keep my heroes available in war (27/25 on an otherwise maxed TH9).

I hate to complain, but this is the only way that Supercell will get a feel for how many people simply hate this idea. I doubt they care since almost *every* update has been geared towards appeasing the talentless hacks over people willing to put the time in that is required to get good.

If we dont add some ♥♥♥♥ etc. Moderator wont notice and noting will be taken. ♥♥♥♥ it if that update becomes abuse like moddlers. End it if that update happen. 30/28 heros within 18 months

Sounds fun on the surface, but there has to be a way to not allow it in war. Way too easy to have a clan mate build a base mirrored off the enemy clan and allow unlimited practice attacks. If people can copy enemy war bases during war this will be a disaster and we are back to the issues of modding.

A couple levels up or down on heroes does not make a huge difference, nor do one or two defense levels. It doesn't matter if the base is an exact match, a good attacker only needs to know how pathing and things of that nature will go. This absolutely will kill war.

Over 100 pages in 7 hours!! Wow!! So Sandbox mode is finally here!! A legal way to practice your war attacks! I'm more than happy with that. In a clan where everyone is maxed TH11 you need practice to grab the 3 star wins!!

Gonna see some epic new crossbreed attack strats coming out of this!! I can not wait!!

Actually it's only 1 page in 7 hours... but that one page has been repeated 100, oopps 104 times... lol

Thats the one pro to this, rest are cons

I don't understand what you mean by saying my base won't be exactly the same as my opponents. I mean yes you have hero/wall/defense level differences, but if you can 3* your clanmate with higher level stuff, you can 3* a lower one. I'm optimistic for the update, but I feel this will be abused, then the other side of me says this will only truly affect those who use Internet bases instead of making their own.

I'm curious what difference you think an Internet base vs your own design will make? If they can practice an Internet base they can practice yours.

You've just started a war. It's the 23 hour prep day. You suspect your opponents have copied all of your bases and are feverishly practicing so that on war day they can 3-star everything.

Then suddenly, 5 minutes before war day starts, YOU SWITCH WAR BASES!!!! OMG THEY JUST WASTED THE LAST 23 HOURS AND HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Will that stop them from doing it all over again during war day? Maybe, maybe not. But just imagine their rage when they realize they just wasted an entire day for nothing!
