Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[Viviana]

This is awesome news SC.

On a side note, I hope the friendly battle feature comes with it's own 'copy base' button because reproducing another's ppl base layout is incredibly, incredibly boring.

Anyway, keep up the good work SC.

This is going to be a great change for Clash of Clans lovers . Clash of Clans is updating more after the launch of Clash Royale. It seems That they are competitors now . It is a great Thing , Friendly Battles were first introduced in Clash Royale .
This is a Huge advantage of having 2 awesome & most popular games by same developers.
It will help people (like me) who are not very good at war attacks .
Thank you SUPERCELL!

Who asked SC to make COC the most stupid game what CR is??? I think it will happen something similar than at December update........

...you must be joking, right

It means CW will only be fun for those who can spend hours on the game, not any more for those who can't, they will get frustrated, very soon.

TS

So true....so sad

Why would I want to attack my own teammates? They have seen my base defend or lose in all my war replays. They know how to beat it, plus they can see all my bombs and traps, so they won't have an honest attack with that info.

What I'd rather have is a 'go ahead and try' button so when I'm talking with some jackwagon in global and he says my base is junk i may offer him the challenge, and shut him up.

I'm not so enthusiastic about this change. If we all improve and 3star in war nobody wins, nobody streaks anymore, nobody loot bonuses and coc will be full of losers who perfect their attacks. What a bizarre game.

???
Really never thought I'd see this.

While I like what it will do for clans from a social aspect, and indeed increasing attack skill.....it does rather lead to: whomever tries the hardest, copies all warbases and practices the most, wins.
Though I suppose you'd partially balance that out with recent war record influencing matchups slightly.

So, tl;dr: while I like it, I think it's a bad thing for all but the most dedicated players.

I'm hoping there's a cool down.

This is awesome!

They are doing this to encourage people to not download mods. Why risk being banned when you can practice on your friends? And everybody can do this.

My first reaction to this is that supercell is killing clan wars. Everybody will be able to 3 star their opponent if they and a clan mates are willing to put in enough time. I hope I am wrong, but competition and skill in clan wars will be gone as 3 stars are all but guaranteed with legalized sandboxing.

Everyone already can 3 star their opponent if they are willing to put in enough time watching youtube videos, researching online, planning with clanmates, etc.

The "fair" play community does not know the definition of the word "fair." Modding was unfair because not everyone had access to those tools. This is built into the game so everyone will have access. And those that keep saying it's unfair because people who spend more "time" will have an advantage over those that spend less time. Well, that's already the case. Those people who spend more "time" watching youtube videos and studying and planning and practicing different attacks become more "skilled." This playground is just another tool to help people improve their skills. I can't wait! Thank you SC.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I never used Xmod and was among those bashing the cheaters when the bans started.

Now I will bash equally any "fairplay" people who can't understand that anything in game that all have equal access to is by definition fair.

I won't be recreating opponents bases because its too much work, if they recreate mine and the small advantage gained results in them winning more power to them, even sandboxed my war bases are tough so I would congratulate the enemy.

Re-creating bases is a lot of work, its not like you will be able to copy and paste the layout. I would rather put my time into farming on my multiple engineered accounts to be stronger in all future wars... just saying.

this sounds great. cant wait to try it out both offensive and defensive. Great way to find my weak points and fine tune my offensive. Clash on

[Bobbitz]

I hope SC is listening; this is ripe for a abuse. The solution isn't really a minimum two day old base (we all like to tweak our war bases and would like feedback), the solution is a one challenge every 24 hrs (accept, or offer the challenge).

I would hope to think SC has already thought ahead about this thought. I think we've wanted this kind of thing for a while, let's just ensure it isn't Modding 2.0 ...
