Clan Games - March 16th to March 20th - Details inside!

[CrazyHorse31]

I am thoroughly enjoying clan games and I think they are a great addition to the game. Great job SC! So, this is not a complaint. It is just an inquiry.

I’m sure this has already been asked and I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to read through the previous 25 pages of this thread.

What is the significance of the last tier usually having a single training potion as one of the options? Should the last tier, the toughest tier to reach, have the best rewards? I just don’t see how one training potion gets put into the mix. Any logical explanations are appreciated!

It gives the larger clans something to while not making smaller clans angry that they cqnt get the good stuff. Not sure i agree but im in a large clan that has no problem maxing the games. Its all about your point of view. I'm just glad it's not me trying to find the right balance.

It is an interesting issue for SC.

1) Do they give us information early, like so many players claim to want, while at the same time knowing changes often happen right up to the last minute? I think I do prefer this option.

2) Or, do they refuse to give us the information early, to avoid the bashing when changes are made? I can understand why some might prefer this option, but I don't like it as much.

3) The other option I guess is to give the information, then refuse to change it after improvements are suggested, just to avoid being bashed for changing it. I don't really like that option. There might be good reasons to change it, such as a simple mistake in typing up the original notes, noticing an unplanned negative aspect after releasing the notes, hearing feedback from the community, etc.

1) I don’t see the point of that, especially if it’s not made clear that this is up for discussion but put up as a stickie, like in the past with information we take to be fairly accurate, if past stickies are anything to go by. If it’s isn’t then it should be made clear.

2) I prefe that Option or just don’t at all and we find out when the games start, that works for me too.

I understand it’s a fine balance with giving info and lots of peolple are hungry for every morsel of news, and I also understand mistakes happen, sc are just people too afterall, but it’s gotta be one or the other or sc is gonna lose all credibility. If Darian says something I wanna be able to assume he knows what he’s talking about seeing he is staff. If it’s up for debate that’s cool to, just let us know.
Just take a decision and stick to it, because this particular announcement of clangames has gone down like a lead ballon in my clan tbh.

It is clearly option 3 imo.

We are not talking about balance changes. We are talking about clan games. The rewards should be set well in advance of the games going live. The notes should be read, proof read and then sent out.

It was then changed.

It was then changed again.

Now don't get me wrong. I am glad the second changes were rolled out. I had already told my clannies that the BoH was available at 18k points. Players act on the information I pass to them.

Whatever way you look at this - it looks unprofessional imo and poorly thought out. Perhaps less roleplaying as mom and dad and put more concentration into improving this feature. It should have been a huge success. They've had mixed reviews at best.

Darian has said that these changes were down to feedback. Hmm I am not so sure. There was plenty of feedback given in the last games and yet no changes were implemented. I accept it was a BH only event as a result of the release of BH8 but the feedback on all social media sites was negative in the majority yet no changes were implemented.

Now, what Darian has done is give forumites hope. Hope that the more they pester the more they have a chance of SC changing whatever the next rewards are going forward.

In 99% of cases you should make a plan and stick to the plan. Changing a plan last minute, and changing it again and again etc has a way of coming back to bite you .....

I'm my clan's single link to the forums. I've taken pride in providing early info on clan games and other things not laid out in-game. These games put a stop to that. I've given false information twice, causing my mates to use books and gems on the promise of being able to regain books through rewards. It's cost me credibility in my clan which in turn has lowered my faith in this forum. Sad really...

[JonnyVW]

Total junk, book of fighting came up from my trader yesterday, didn’t buy it as one was in clan games and now it’s not, well disappointed!

Very unprofessional SC

[Jaimyn]

Since my clan never gets above 20k, and the books are now set above that bar,
I can certainly say there isn't much motivation to do clan games anymore.

[GherkinSavorus]

So after seeing everyone's feedback, we've decided to make one more change to the rewards. We've removed the 50K point tier and moved those rewards down to the 30K tier.

That's great. Thanks for listening.

[WarriorGuide]

Thank you SuperCell for the adjustment back to a more reachable reward tier for BoH that more clans are able to reach instead of what it had been first changed to. It is certainly VERY appreciated.

Hmm lost my book of building before I even got it. Not cool but what is that about counting chickens?
