Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[Ternic]

He doesn't alleviate anything - he is just speculating his very skewed opinion. If anything it raises more concerns that he did a 180 turnaround from a no to yes this is fine.

People will spend the time to do this (we already spent a long time to make armies etc.), copying a base is really not hard to do and would take minutes of the day. It will become a requirement to win. I'm not sure why others find it hard to see that far ahead.

Yup spot on. It used to be you could be very competitive in war without spending hours a day on it, if you were good enough. Skill ruled the day. I do not look forward to a war environment where he who has the most free time wins.

I don't know what SUPERCELL has planed about it. But as the members saying about to prevent SANDBOX, The friendly attack should not available in BATTLE DAYS or members in war can't participate. But there is still some problem. Others members should copy the base and will make a attack and which can see all other members, which will help them. And if is UNAVAILABLE in battle days players can use in preparation days as well or if UNAVAILABLE both in battle and practice days then nothing is left. So I can see only one solution...As in clan wars the battle day layout became active in next war...thus the Friendly Challenge will always be in current layout..If it is edited during the Preparation Day or Battle Day...It will active after the end of the battle..but the active village and war base can be edited as per the rule...But will not appear in the friendly challenge..

This is going to kill Clan Wars for the casual player and that is the majority of your clients. Stopping it during wars simply won't work. This is a big throw of the dice from SC. SNAKE EYES.

Why wouldn't stopping it during clan wars work?

Then on the other side, they have an awful attacker practice for 23 hours straight on a max Th10, gets a triple.

I doubt the awful attackers are going to bother with this. Awful attacks are done by people that haven't taken the time to learn how to deploy troops, let alone how to analyze a base & come up with the right strategy. They're not going to take the time to sandbox.

It is going to give an edge to a few super hard core clans that have multiple people willing to take a lot of time to build copies of your bases. The average clan rarely faces them & would almost certainly lose either way. This is a bit of a sop for the former modders, but it's available to all. I'll be surprised if any leaders in the FP war community cry over this.

If it is blocked both in preparation day and battle day then when will the members go for friendly challenge...coz most of the clans start new war after just the end.

Well, if you read the announcement, you would know that I will have to build opponents' bases for my clanmates to practice on. It has nothing to do with my attacking skill. And, yes I do regularly three star my mirror TH10. Still reserving judgment but possibly the end of clan war and the game.

Prepare to be surprised then. Look at the latest video jake put out, then scroll down to the comments. Large number of the big FP guys are viewers of that channel, and they almost all hate this change.

It's a nice game

It will be really easy to set up a scrimmage against friend clans now. You can just send over a few players at a time to do a friendly battle with little prep time and no practice hits then you just keep score yourself

Because the players can simply go practice at another clan.
