Welcome to the Builder Base!

[xc3ss1v30n3]

I'll try to give you my oppinion as a non SC representative.
If they said either 15 or 22 May, had 15 came and they said "nah it's gonna be 22", people would go crazy saying it's delayed.
People even got crazy and say it's delayed even when no specific window was announced, imagine what a window would have done.

A window would have kept people from spouting off all sorts of conspiracy theories and outlandish predictions of next month to next year. Yeah, there would have still been people complaining, that's normal. But, there really is absolutely no good reason to not give target dates if you have them.

Very super massive agreed

Ok... then don't.
It gets you as far in life as playing CoC.
Its just a game and another feature to enjoy.. if you don't have fun doing it then don't. Really doesn't need a thread for attention.

LOL, chill dude....

It's just like many had suggested (can't find the one post from a forumer that pretty much nailed our timeline)

Early/Mid-March when Anoushka posted the 2 threads saying the update could come in a month or more - we weren't sure if it would be April or May then (it happened to be in the 'more" category)
Probably late march, although, I think it was 1st week in April we knew it would be May some time.
Towards the end of April, we narrowed down our window and were aiming for the week of May 15th or 22nd.
When the boat videos started, we were still thinking May 15th week (probably about mid week)
The week of May 8th we narrowed it down to Wednesday, May 17th as our target date. Sadly, towards the end of that week, we realized we had a little more balancing to do. Monday May 15th is when Lach changed the post to say not this week - but we set our new target date as Today - Monday the 22nd. We hit our 2nd target date, which was in our initial 2-week window.

All the rumors of there must be major delays, major bugs, etc etc weren't true. We had the normal minor things the testing group found, but the devs had them fixed in a hours/a day. We work in windows, with the exact date not known until real close to update. It took 2 days for Apple to clear the update, and was ready in plenty of time for today's launch. Was no real issue with the build or Apple.

The big update threads really were just started to keep the main page free of the dozens of individual threads (4? weeks ago) it was never intended to say - hey, update is coming in the next week or so.

"By late March they knew it would be May before the release was ready. By early April they had picked two week window . By first of May they had it down to a "handful" of days window. And they are still working with the same timeframe at the present time."


Me again.

Sorry, I am not buying that you hit your target. Other then you moved it twice.

In all fairness, it was a massive update. Basically a CoC 2.0.

But also a massive let down with the greed factor.

You'll have more money.

I would have loved to, and although THIS update hit its window, there was always that chance that we DID have issues with Apple, or we really did find a big bug at the last minute that made it go to next week. Even when I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was check our channels to see if it started while I was sleeping, thankfully it was.

I would say in the the Majority here maybe.?.?

The update is good and looks like it will be fun I was a little disappointed to see how little the home base was affected I guess I just expected more to the Classic base but I'm only a Max 10 so I have 11 to look forward to.

The builder base will be a nice side quest but if I can only get loot in 3 attacks 15 minutes a day it will be a rush to LVL5 get the gem mine, builder upgrade for the main base and let it just sit in the background type of addition.

I can't see spending any time or $ on this base at least not yet.

Before the update:

The ony thing that could save Coc from dying is a new game mode! We need a new game mode asap! (Kid: And gem mine and night mode) Just new levels for your homebase is boring af


After the update:

Mimimi I'm quitting worst update ever




Every update that brings a little bit change to the game will result in countless complainers and "quitters". Even this awesome update. In my opinion it is the best update ever, looking forward to more improvements in future updates. Keep going Supercell I love it.

But I think and hope in 2-3 weeks all the hate is over because players get used to it and actually start to like the new features

[GodlikeWraith]

First off, I would like to say this new update is amazing. I love having a new base to take care of with new features. It brings alot more fun and is making me want to play more.

However what I dont like is its limiting gametime. I would like to be able to play and attack more on the builder base, but if I only have a limited number of attacks before I no longer get loot and have to wait 24 HOURS, then that makes it much less intuitive as I cant progress without having to wait for another 24 hours before I can actually get loot to upgrade something. That is a HUGE downfall.

Whats the point of limiting play time with the new builder base?
