Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[Zegaloft]

Great news, but ... Really hope that you cannot change your base design when in war. Would prevent ppl practicing the same base over and over. Seems like an easy fix

No, it's not easy to fix, or if it even is in the first place.

People can just have another account that can duplicate the base and practice on a different clan. Much like how some mods can still circumvent around the bans.

I really don't think, in over 3.5 years of looking forward to updates, I've EVER been able to say: this is a bad idea.

Even the great hero nerf, I saw the positives, in that they were impossible to defend against, and it was necessary for balance.

This is looking like doing a number of terrible things, while only really achieving 1 good. The good? Within reason, finally killing modding.
The bad:
Effectively removing FP skill from the game.
Killing any chance of winning any half competative war for anyone not willing to put serious practice time in.
The worst though: basically conceding to all modding clans....you were right. Your way of playing was the right one, and everyone that didn't mod were indeed lazy noobs as many tried to claim.

Burn-out rate amongst top modding players is extremely high. What you're doing here is killing the more casuals chances of winning, while inviting those that think they're happy to no-life (I'd include myself in that) to clash themselves to death in a limited timeframe.

Awful idea. Please rethink.
There you go Holps, the more elaborate answer since you haven't enjoyed Burners' or Fette's.

I can't say that I disagree with any of this.

I did not understand this... "The event lasts until the Friendly Challenge update goes live!"

1 gem boost I checked is not implemented... The gem boost is until the update goes live... So when it is going live? If it's in short notice. then I would loose the chance?

It's like black and white lol. The pros responses from the part timers. Being able to sandbox the exact queen charge/walk is rediculous

[JoseJones]

Does this mean the psychic octopus is dead in the water?

This shouldn't be available during war but otherwise I like it

Hopefully it can't be used during battle day, to prevent copying and testing pathing on enemy bases. Otherwise it's a great feature

[QUOTE=Holps;7385239 it will allow people to practise war raids by copying bases but as there are generally about 5 bases we face in wars and you can simply search to find one similar and practise that way what is wrong with this as a way to spice up the game?
I have no idea who has been buying the Donuts and beer in the SC offices for the past couple of months but keep it up.[/QUOTE]

Sorry Holps, for once I can't agree with you. This is madness. The casual clans are stuffed.

Can someone at supercell confirm if theres more to this, like unavailable in war day? Otherwise this is just a legalised sandbox.... which means theres no point testing your defensive layouts because the other side can just copy it and run different attacks against it til they get the result.

I like the idea to freshen up clans create more fun and possibility of in clan tournaments, but I hate the idea that this could completely ruin the war scene after we'd just got to a point where 'fair play' was winning.

Perfectly put!

No..

It must not appear during prep day as well.

If this feature is available during Prep day and war day, then Clan Wars has just become a battle of time. The casual players and clans will be hit hardest, while those with the time to copy base, and sandbox all day will benefit. This is just madness!

I hope they add the copy base button. It will save a lot of people a lot of time

Lol u need to get definition of cheating in dictionary.

This is basically a modified mod feature integrated into the game. If everyone can use why would u call it cheat?? ♥♥♥♥

Just because others do it, it doesn't make it OK. It's cheating because it removes the players ability from performing a skilled attack into a time based feature with no thought - just rinse repeat until correct.

How long before it has to become standard practice to win wars? Draws everywhere, makes the clan-wars feature useless.

Some clearly don't get it - but this will seriously put me off the game without the war/prep day restrictions. But hey that's my issue, not yours.

[Burners]

No more witch hunts? No more perma ban threads?

[BiffBangPow]

Unlimited raids does seem a little excessive. It will reduce clan wars to who can put the most time in.

I think if the amount of friendly challenges could be reduced to 1 or 2 attempts a day then this would be a great addition where players could practice but not completely refine the raid.
