If you're wondering why so many are unhappy, allow me to explain. Many of us have been around for awhile. Doing our part in keeping the online community active and interested, doing our part to support the servers and game devlopment costs(buying gems). Sticking with SC, update after update. Promoting the game via FB and websites that we maintain at our own cost. Keeping clans alive and active. When this update hit, a great many of us old timers took it as a slap in the face. It showed that our loyalty and support over the years was meaningless to this company. At the end of the day ALL of that could be tolerated it was for the good of the game and our clans.... Our clans.. Clans got nothing this update. Point of fact being in a clan is now even less important that ever. Clan chat has gone quiet. People are playing, but not interacting. The new village has nothing to do with CLANS. If I wanted to play Clash Royal I would. But I don't, I wanted to play Clash of CLANS. I am of the opinion that this is why this update is so unpopular. I cannot fathom how anyone thought this would go over well. This catastrophe could still be salvaged, but I'm not holding my breathe. The new game mode is rubbish, the stratagey is strategic spam. I just don't get it.....

Yup. My main coleader who was with me on the first day of founding our clan like 4 years ago, a max th11, just quit this morning. "I'm too far into this game to start over"

WELCOME TO CLASH HELL!!! A HAHAHA HAHA!!

I do not know why many people are complaining...I literally came back to the game yesterday and had no idea about the update. It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least.

Why aren't people just happy the game is now getting the same sort of love as CLASH ROYALE has gotten?!

Title says it all. If I wanted to play clash royale I would not have deleted it after a week.

There are so many moving parts with this update and it's still so early on that I'm having a hard time understanding or accepting a lot of the feedback already in both directions.

In the past I've preached patience on the forums and more importantly within my own clan where I've spent countless hours teaching players, cultivating a social aspect, and running a successful clan in nearly every aspect I could have wanted. SC have done some unpopular things in the past that have definitely been for the better - removal of TH snipe, certain re-balancing updates, new loot system, new troop training system etc. For the most part, I believe the changes have all worked as intended and made them game better as a result.

I'm not going to condemn this update for all of these reasons, but I will go on record to say the following:

The Builder Village: In a vacuum, I don't have a problem with it. So far I've had fun. There are some great aspects to it.
- No engineering - forces players to upgrade everything per TH level
- Forces players to put effort into base design and adapt
- Makes a trophy system relevant and fun
- Should reduce or eliminate clouds
- The roll out plan has been user friendly, incrementally introducing features
I have some criticisms too, but they aren't huge and may be things that iron themselves out with time. For now, my focus will be to just have fun with it.

The problem is though, that the new builder village does not operate within a vacuum. As such, I feel a great concern that everything that made this game great over the years is seriously in jeopardy. There is simply so much unfinished work in the regular game / war world that I cannot believe this has been rolled out.

War is a train wreck right now. Every clan is engineered. About a year ago Billius made a great thread predicting this and it's coming true - https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...-and-Farm-Wars

Nobody can trophy push because of clouds.

The actual TH10 game play (for war), while better then it has been historically, is still mostly rubbish (won't speak for TH11).

Now we have a new game mode (or whatever you want to call it), and everyone who stood by all of these other items and worked for years to develop skills, bases, friends etc, are out in the rain wondering when SC is gonna hand us an umbrella. The new game mode addresses a lot of these issues which is great in terms of the new game mode - at the minimum it's an acknowledgement that these things are real issues - but that doesn't excuse the old game mode from being fixed.

Maybe they will fix it, but those are my concerns. I'll leave it at that.

Very well said. Every part of this is true and very much the way I feel. Also thank you for being rational about it (new game mode) instead of immediately condemning it as many did before they even had time to really play it and think about it.

As for th10 balance (war or otherwise) I think that level 7 heal is gonna make a bigger difference than many folks realize but it'll take a little longer for us to recognize it.

Engineering... wow what a disaster! If this isn't fixed soon even the most die hard coc fans will turn against supercell (IM PRAYING THAT SC HAS THIS ISSUE ON THE TOP OF THEIR "TO DO" LIST and will have this fixed VERY SOON! Not "soon" but "very soon")

As for the new game mode on its own... I really really love it. It's literally a whole new game parallel to the current game and I just can't say enough about how cool it is. I sincerely hope supercell includes updates to both games in future updates. The forums immediate and way too early hatred for it has me concerned that supercell may abandon it and that would be a spectacular mistake in my opinion.

Also wanted to say thank you Supercell for your hard work and for putting up with the player base hyping out of control over this update. I for one and the majority of my clan really like the new game mode. Great work 👍

This new builders game sucks.
you get kicked off the network during searching and automatically lose cups even if you hadn't found someone yet.
total ♥♥♥♥.
ive been getting kicked from the server a lot. My local network is fine.

[mido101991]

I like the update .. very cool addition .. the only thing that i disappointed is that nothing new to regular town hall

[Sjir]

this update sucks deeply.first and last post.

My point is that there are a lot more hard core players who are upset, but choose to remain quiet this time around. If supercell is running analytic, they should factor that in.

I'm a hardcore player. 5 accounts. 4 th11s. 2 of them maxed. All I'm going to say is this should be a separate app. It's a different game. The mechanics are different. The second village does almost nothing for the account you've spent years building. You can now just play 2 games with 1 app is all it is. I wish they had just added onto the original game instead of building a new one.
