Stop implementing Unnecessary/controversial ideas

[Lolnubiwin]

So...ive noticed that a few things in updates have degraded the game over a period of time..we also have some very controversial topics such as spells costing elixer now, and townhalls being sniped for free shields. If anyone agrees with me please say so, this game is so much different then it was lets say 4months ago, i actually preferred the game 4months ago then now, we have too many unhappy players opposed to a few months ago

Updates that had contained the hogs/witches i believe created a very large amount of unhappy players mainly because of them being too strong and unbalanced, and then also having them being nerfed to the point where some people believe they have wasted money on them. I am going to be honest with you guys, i honestly truly think that the trap update has degraded the game alot.

Then.. You have a VERY VERY high amount of players quiting because you can't revenge in champion anymore, i see about 10clans that say they are quiting because of that,what impact does that show to the other couple million clashers? Its not positive
(NOTE-I WILL EDIT THIS LATER WHEN I THINK OF OTHER POINTS)

Many of these changes have been great, except for the hogs/witches being overpowered of course. Removing "cheap shielding" was a very good move to balance the game, but of course the players abusing it are gonna be unhappy and through a fit. Many of these changes aren't "controversial" because a few people don't like it, they are steps taken to better the game. If they didn't change anything for four months, people would get bored and quit. The game must move on at some point, whether or not you agree with the choices SuperCell makes to do so.

Being blunt, I think this is totally off base. The alternative is appeasement; doing whatever it takes to keep people happy in the short term with little regard for the long term consequencesl. These updates are designed to improve the game in the long term, despite any and all complaints in the short term.

No, SC doesn't always make the right calls in my opinion, but I do think they have their focus on the right things. I almost hate to say it, but I think it's clear that the masses don't always know what's best for the game in the long run and are more interested in enjoying the game more and more with each successive update. There isn't anything wrong with wanting that, but to expect it is a bit much.

No controversy = no progress

Took the words right out of my mouth. Game development is tricky. I've seen countless of MMO/RPG/other online games go downhill because the game-makers were only focused on pleasing the majority of their players, without putting much thought into the consequences of whatever they were implementing/adding to the game. SC is proving to be different to that.

I believe the updates are necessary to keep the game interesting... however, I do agree that some troops are way over-powered. A well designed, maxed out base should in theory, be able to defend against mostly all types of troops. Players at championship leagues are currently being 2 to 3 starred by mass hogs. This is also a reason why they are upset.

The recent updates with traps is a move in the right direction. I am looking forward to seeing new base designs that utilizes these traps to hopefully slow down the hogs.

Controversial ideas are needed to make the game better. Just like SuperCell attempted to ease the DE lightning situation with the 200% loot bonus dropped to 150%. Personally I think they could have done more to reduce DE lightning. But that change no doubt is on the back of several controversial topics over the tactic.

So you do realize the current updates are for the sake of balancing the game? Despite whether or not they appease the top players who abused the previous inbalance.

I believe this is good. We need fresh blood. I go down the top200 list and at least 100 are people I've seen for at least 6-8+ months up there. Most game developers don't listen to their player-base at all and we take SuperCell's involvement of us for granted and we do nothing but complain. Instead of complaining accept the future of the game and learn to succeed with it or get out of the way.

I think the update was a good one. It is improving the game long term.
