Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

when this is gonna come? BTW is this to stop modders from using simulated raids?

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?

Doesn't matter what checks and balances you put in.
The team with least life wins, end of story.

Said least life team, will go to every available length to sidestep said checks and balances.

Top modding clans all had mods for a long time. So then the battle of spying, scripting, ringers, paid hitters ensued.
TWC chat full of accusations of who cheated the most.
Least life wins.

Cmon Holps, see a bit further.

Hey it pushed the 'engineering' threads off the first page... So there is a positive!

Veryyyy nice that will help the clan in wars;The next step COC must take is to show when a clan member is online

[CamaroGirl666]

I totally agree with you!!

[Skrags]

? But it basically takes war away from everyone who isn't a hardcore no lifer.

I agree. The casual clans have just been smashed even before the war starts.

But how is enemy supposed to know CC troops? Traps can be guessed but CC troops can't.

[BiffBangPow]

To be honest i think the system would work i they just limit the amount friendly challenges a play can issue in a day. One or two attempts at a copied base would be enough for a player to refine a raid but not to an excessive amount.

I registered this forum account to say that I agree with OP, disgusting was also the first word in my head when I saw the update info. Apparently the company isn't going to extend the promising future of CoC, and I so regret putting in another $100 just yesterday.

But how is enemy supposed to know traps and CC troops

By using common sense - or rather rare sense as it should be better known these days.
