Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[Superfinch30]

Spot on Superfinch. You've summed it up perfectly. What chance have the casual clans got now? Players with full time jobs, and families, players who plan and attack in war in their coffee break at work. We don't have hours free to copy bases and sandbox attacks for 3 hours... we are screwed if SC allow this feature within war.

Why Ty, and yes.

Something else occurred to me, a rather apt comparison.

'In-game sandbox turns war into legend league'.
What do you NEED in clash, to go to legends?
Gems? Helps but not vital.
Max base? As above.
Extraordinary attack skills? As above.
It's TIME.

What is the #1 reason more people don't trophy push? TIME. They either don't have that much spare time, or certainly aren't willing to spend it watching a spinning magnifying glass.

So, in this hypothetical brave new world of legal sanboxing, what do you need to win wars?
Good offence/defence balance? V important....but not as much as was.
Great base designs? As above.
Attack skills? As above

TIME. More TIME and patience than the other team.

Argue all you want mates. But this is a game feature now. So its not cheating. SMH



And as usual everyone will use it. Like they adapted to the December update.

Lol I will adapt by moving to another game. It's sad for me to say - I hate to be that guy because I've put a lot of time into my clan and base. I have plenty of neglected PC games I can get back into.

I will wait and see if they elaborate on this to make it difficult to abuse. Hopefully you guys won't have another dead TH10 base to contend with.

Remove clan-wars skill and this will remove the game imo.

I'm amazed that SC have yet again completely misfired with an update and not predicted the potential exploits people with too much time on their hands will find in this system.

This is going to suck out all the fun and unpredictability out of clan wars. Our clan wins 99% of our wars through careful planning and a solid attack strategy. If I fail on my target, someone will clean up and vice versa, it's a team game. We don't need this at all.

Scrap it or it will be abuse..

For Supercell it's like all or nothing, this is just a desperate attempt to keep people tied in the game.

Thats the greatest update ever....can't wait....... i need to know when??

[Holps]

I still think a side effect of this may be to reduce the reliance on Clan Wars to keep the game interesting and therefore the obsession with how unfair life is.
Having read through this entire thread of course there are concerns and many are very valid but can anybody deny that as a stand alone idea this won't be great fun?
Rubbish about wars being dead and the game ruined are so ill-advised as we have no idea how this will be implemented and whether there will be safeguards and checks in place. If there are none, the people highlighting concerns turn out to be right and wars are spoiled for the masses then we will no doubt cross that bridge and on Supercell's head be it but at least let's see it in action and try it out before we burn the place down?

[Burners]

Scrap it or it will be abuse.

I am not looking forward to putting more hours in wars. I know my clan will win but is just more hours now cuz opponent is modding too. Lol

[IainMc]

My thoughts echo quite a few others, that whilst this seems a nice idea, it will inevitably be used to help war attacks either by just copying the base or using a lower townhall to scout to get trap locations as well. Just find the nearest equivalent to that enemy in your clan and practice, practice, practice. This is essentially free sandboxing. If this is going to be implemented it needs to be suspended during wars (prep and battle days). It works in Clash Royale as there isn't any inter-clan tournaments, just multiplayer, but is a bad move in Clash of Clans in my view.

So i guess we have to be all at approx the same level in a clan... i am way stronger than most players in my clan, i can crush any of them and only a few of them will be able to on star me.

But they are irl or clash friends, i wanna stay with them no matter our level difference.... so it's useless to me.
