Clash of Clans - BH9 Dev Update Video - When Pigs Fly!

I liked the idea of doing stuff in the BH to get an extra builder in the main village

Well played!

[Aleph]

If the main advantage of getting OTTO is on the main village why would you (SC) make this (never ending) requirement list of tasks on the builder Hall?

You have the data and are perfectly aware that most players do not care for BH. You could easily have made an equally (never ending) requirement list BUT with tasks on the main village. (win-win situation)

I feel that was a blow below the belt.

Lets hope operation blue skies turns out to be all it promised to be.

I always felt supercell made it seem as if there will be very little cross over between builder hall and main. Now they are saying if you want to progress 20% faster on main you should have played the builder base. Yet somehow they are trying to minimize this like it's not really a big deal. To me this is pretty outrageous.

Galadon mentioned the cart.
As stated, I'll survive and manage. Just I'm wondering why a special troop, rather than 'any' troop to max. Or any two, for that matter.

It actually gives the rationale in-game: the Master Builder needs to perfect building proper axles for Otto to roll around properly. The Mega Tesla upgrade provides it with power, and the Battle Machine upgrade allows it to work without the Master Builder.

[Warios]

With the requirements so steep on BH progression to obtain Otto will it be that big of a deal in day to day wars?
For years players on the forum have said that "BH is a waste, no one plays it, the number of players that max are such a small % of the player base it is a waste of time."


So if the above assumptions are true, how many players will actually have an advantage?

Well if the mortar gear up is a requirement, that means you've got to have a main TH of at least level 10. TH 9 cannot gear up the mortar, that's why I leave the BB at maxed level 6 for my TH 8 and 9 minis (AT and cannon gear up). And maxed level 5 for main TH 7 (only cannon).

Kind regards,

I do believe then such things will result in the minimum requirement. Not sure if the mortar gear up is a requirement but I believe some gear up is part of it.

If a player would play the game “normally” like one would on a first account then after unlocking builder hall in TH4 it will take a while to reach BH9 and Ann the other requirements you must have to reach OTTO level 5 anyway.
If in the mean time you progress the main village normally then I’d believe you’d be around TH10 or 11 at least by then.

The forums aren't representative of the player base. Reddit isn't either.

All 3 gear-ups are the first requirement, so the Master Builder isn't available until TH10 at the earliest, which, like you said, is about when you'd reach BH9 anyway.

Hey Darian will we get a new loading screen after the Update drops ?

[Himewad]

The requirements are:

1) All 3 gear-ups (requires level 8 Multi Mortar and level 8 Mortar [TH10])
2) Level 9 Mega Tesla
3) Level 18 Cannon Carts
4) Level 30 Battle Machine

Exactly. Why require it to be a specific troop? Especially a troop that was unlocked many builder hall levels previous? Give us some flexibility to use the troops we want.
