Builder Games - March 8th - March 12th

your point being...

this is a post about the effect on my individual clan

thank you i'll post in that thread as well

I was simply stating that there is a sticky thread, created by the community manager of SuperCell, about the current games. Quite a few other threads on the subject already have been merged into that thread by the mods.

There is still a good chance that they will move it there. The best place to post and get SC to notice is the ideas and feature request. Chances are it won't get seen here but it might.

I hated these games, I'm SO glad they are over. Over for us. We did finally reach 50K. I don't like BH but I will do what needs to be done for the clan and your clan mates should take the same approach. You losing members is because you didn't. I do understand, I was very tempted to not even try in these games.

I would get my loot for the day then set my defenses on one side of the base and the non-defensive buildings on the other. I dropped a 1000 trophies on my main but I don't care. I'll get it back soon enough. I was getting three stars on all most every attack.

I've been wondering if the economy might have been in trouble from the other clan games. Maybe not. I have several TH8s that are maxed as much as I'm going to max them so I did the challenges on those with dragons. In prior games, of course. Most still had an abundance of elixir but not was much as they usually have. So that thought crossed my mind as a secret motivation for these games. No way for me to know of course.

Again, I hated these games but I did it for the clan. Maybe promote that idea in your clan.

We have only around 10 people in our clan with 40ish bases so it can be done. But, participation is way down on these games.

We have no way of knowing. SuperCell do have the full overview of the actual data.

Besides "happiness" is pretty hard to determine .. some players are happy to grind several billion for their walls, but can't take the DE grind .. At the core of Clash of Clans you'll always find a degree of "grind".

Well, then SC should make an in-game poll asking players whether they liked these games or not. Nobody's going to convince me that the data of how many people played these games nor how many (including my clan) reached the 50k tier is going to show the real situation of:
1) how many did it beacuse they wanted the rewards not because they like BH
2) how many did it because they didn't want to let their clannies down (our case)
3) how many would choose MV challenges if given an option to do so
4) how many players did the necessary 50k and won't touch BH again
5) Any combination of above

Data are great, I'm astonished that that many people joined these clan games, but is the data sufficient enough in showing the whole picture? I'm inclined into believing that it hardly does.

Yes it makes sence..I hope next time SC dont add all BB challenges..otherwise forum threads will be full of insults and hate this time..Jst requesting to listen us!!!

Feedback in the form of "I don't like these Builder Games because I don't like the Builder Base" isn't worth a lot. It's an entirely natural reaction.

The entire player base isn't represented on the forums, not even as a scaled down representation, that's what I'm trying to say with the insanely huge number of players that are really playing.

SuperCell is very data driven, and they don't really change the game THAT much without the data to back it.

I'm sure, that based on the Builder Base participation data from the last games, they knew exactly what they were doing.

By now, the hate for Builder Base is pretty much like the hate surrounding the infamous "december update", when Town Hall sniping was removed from the game and the current shielding system was introduced. It's getting old, fast. Especially when the hate comes from the various Game Specialists.

Builder Base is a part of the game now. Clan Games are a part of the game. A specific Clan Game concentrating only on Builder Base, closely following the release of a new Builder Base level is pretty much a given and obvious progression of the Games.

I will admit, that this iteration of the games has taken "Farm with US" a bit longer than usual, but I think that's due to the fact that the Builder Base Challenges are quite hard (the average points per attack is much lower on BB, than on the usual Main Base challenges).

In short, the few hundred really active and the few thousand lurkers on the forum weigh very, very little in our usual banter, compared to the cold hard data from the remaining 173 million players.

the removal of th sniping and the introduction of the current shielding system, is a completely different scenario to that of Bh games.

The former was a necessary change in order to address a serious loot shortage in the game caused by so many players gaining an easy shield and thereby removing themselves from the pool of players available to be attacked.

The latter is an “enhancement” introduced for a reason. We don’t know what that reason is. I doubt very much that the reason is one of celebration. It might be as a gem exercise to generate revenue (fair enough, sc need to make money), or to try to induce more players into Bh, a combination of the two, or something different entirely.

If the reason was to introduce a new version of games so that the majority of the player base can have more fun, I venture to suggest that it hasn’t worked out very well, notwithstanding that only a small percentage of players are members of this forum. Only a few in my clan are forum members, but there isn’t a wide variety of opinion on these games, other than from 3/4 avid Bh players.

You know the next CG will be back to normal. SC don't need to 'listen' to us as this was just a one-off event because of the release of BH8. No need to panic or fret about it. Just ride it out.

My clan was not a fan of builder games however we still will max them out we are stubborn. Not to mention it’s free stuff nobody makes you earn the free stuff you have to decide if it’s worth it to you. I agree that I would prefer not to have builder base only games in the future but if we do I’m sure I will complete the challenge and get even more free stuff. Did I mention it’s free and optional so either step up and collect the goodies or step out and moan that’s your free choice

[9333]

Yes this clan game did suck but my clan still maxed it out it’s FREE STUFF if you don’t want it don’t play nobody forcing you to. Hopefully these type of games will be rare but if clan members left because of it they were not worth keeping anyway. I told my members do what they can but I was not pushing this games they stepped up and we maxed anyway after all we like FREE STUFF

Come back after one day and I’m so glad to see we are still studying English 101. The definition of the word blah blah blah, the analogy of the situation blah blah blaharen’t we all high and mighty and eager to win an argument? For those of you who actually spent hours and hours on this thread since yesterday, arguing and replying to everyone who has a different opinion than you, please keep in mind that there are many roads to Rome, not to mention most people are just stating how they feel. As players, don’t we all entitle to express that? Who quit and make you CEO of Supercell, that you get to police other people’s opinion?

Anyway, this round of clan games still sucks路♥♀️SC I’m sure I don’t have to say anything else, if you want to keep your players, just improve upon it during the next round. Peace out before some holy Mary start lecturing me again about the choice of words I used. I don’t have a Ph D degree yet, I’d better hide.

Totally agree people debating the use of the word forced..silly really. The people saying we are not forced really don't seem to understand the way in which the word is being used here. But I digress. I did a few challenges to help my clan on my two accounts with this bbclan games. It was incredibly boring and tedious. Please don't repeat these CG SC.. I am prob not gonna touch fail base again for a few weeks after this. Horrible side game with not so fast upgrades anymore.

The challenges this clan games seem to encourage gemming far more than ive seen for ages, it's pretty blatant. What happened to subtlety SC?

5000 points Needed to reach tier 5.
I can gain 3000 points but my friend is refusing to get more 2000, he is Frustrated with how Even destroying 6 buildings task is a heck of time. He eventually faces players who just took whole 3 minutes of battle during CT boost. Not particularly archers spam. And that matchmaking issue is common
