Let’s not forget how horrible jrex1000 thinks the 5th year anniversary was...

My biggest hope for the 6th anniversary is for the collector boosts actually lasting a week like it had been in previous years and not having to boost again every day after that.

I thought this 5 year anniversary was quite entertaining and most players didn't think it was awful.



Your opponents in war had to deal with shrink traps too. And it's a game, shouldn't be taken that serious, even if it's war.

Well yes, I will add that’s just my opinion.
Oh, and every person in my clan, and every opponent at the time, because we DO take war seriously.
That’s a choice. That’s how many people choose to play the game.

Many traps can be predicted or circumvented by a good plan, even without necessarily knowing exactly where they are.

Shrink trap wasn’t like that. A single trap that could effectively decimate a huge chunk of your army, that could fit in any 2x2 space.
Utter nonsense for anyone that does take war seriously, should they choose to.

While I also didn't care for the shrink trap, I did find the Giant in the hut to be kinda amusing.

Maybe we can have a Golem, Hound or E-Drag in the hut this time. ��

Perhaps a bit too seriously? Sit back and enjoy the chaos on both sides. I found it quite amusing. And annoying when my queen turned into a mini queen. But it was fun. It would probably be good to limit it to regular PvP though. We can still have fun and it won't annoy the serious war community.

I remember the Battle Ram, pumping logs in the camps... they were starting to grow on me!

The 5th anniversary was a missed opportunity. The idea of the builder going missing probably looked like a good idea on paper but the concept was just confused and it didn’t work for me. Maybe because it came so soon after that interminable cartoon where the boat sailed across the sea for days with absolutely nothing happening. Recently things have been a lot better so hopefully the person who came up with those ideas has been moved on - unfortunately maybe to archer tower design, but that’s another story.

[MasterEdy]

Nobody remembers that poor soul that posted the 99% 2* war attack here because balloons couldn't catch one giant circling around the builder's hut? And that even under the haste spell?

As much as I felt sorry for the guy, that was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen in CoC

Loved the shrink trap, never had so much fun that week, some people take their attacks way too seriously, it's a game people, not life or death

This.
I like the Shrink Trap as well, hope it makes a comeback.

[UT0123456789]

Bring back the Shrink trap.

If you have so many problems with it, use a rage spell. It directly counteracts the trap completely...

And if your army is so messed up that you can't fit a rage spell in, then make a new army or take the week off...

So first off I love the game, the latest update is great. However let’s not forget just how truly horrible the anniversary was last year.

A couple things that come to mind:
1. troops spawning from a builder hut when destroyed
2. The shrink trap totally ruining war attacks
3. And the most annoying thing, 1 gem boost on collectors only lasting 1 day instead of for a whole week.

I’m sure I’m missing things, but the 5th anniversary of clash should have been awesome, instead it was brutally awful. Here’s hoping the 6th anniversary is better.

Yep. I was completely underwhelmed by it. But a year is a long time and they have introduced a heap of great new stuff and had some pretty awesome events as well like hammerjam with very positive community feedback. With the introduction of potions, runes and books since then, along with clan games, they have a hell of a lot more to offer up this time around. I am optimistic of a great 6th year celebration.
