Hey all,
So almost 3 months ago (January 29), I posted a video predicting Clan Wars a couple days after the Hero Ability Update after my friend, doonta (Dark Sky), pointed it out to me and seeing something very peculiar in Daddy's Hero Tutorial/Guide that he released.
Here is the Freeze Frame from Daddy's Guide of what I am talking about:
As you notice, we began to take interest on the button located at the bottom right of the screen. The button that has two swords clashing against one another and is highlighted in orange. In my prediction video, I predicted Clan Wars, and in as a supporter of this, I began to point out how the screen shot is from a developer's base and how Clan Wars is in the making right after the Hero Ability Update.
So here was my video:
It was a very rushed and what I deem to be an incomplete explanation but the information and the main gist of my hunch was there. Clan Wars was in the making.
As time went on, people knew in their minds it was coming, but around the forums and other social areas, the topic began to die down.
But as of recently, ever since Daddy, Godson, Chief Pat, and Simon Tay traveled to Helsinki, they have altogether been giving us some slight hints; basically handing us the information.
So here are of some recent Images to confirm the button in the screen shot above:
The picture as a whole is just a comparison of a Freeze Frame from Godson's latest vlog from Helsinki to the first original photo. Plus, Godson even titled the video "Headquarters tour (Find the Hint)", so Godson was basically spoon-feeding us the Sneak of the update right there. [Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5stGGxcjrRE]
The final screen shot, as many will know is from Daddy's recent 16 second video. As pointed out by others, here is the picture:
So there we have it! Screen Shot after screen shot, the same image has made its way in each of these videos, just hinting towards the next update which will be drum roll please.... CLAN WARS!
Now of course, Supercell has allowed them to film it meaning that its kind of a confirmation for the next update. However, how will this Clan Wars be implemented? We know Clan Wars as a general idea but how will it be effected into our game style? Is it meant to target Farming or Trophy Hunting? Friendly Competition or Competitive in the Leaderboards?
My Prediction:
To further build on my previous predictions I would think this Clan War is mainly going to target Farmers as a whole and not Trophy Hunters as much.
The reason I say this is because Clan Wars would be a very complex matter as it is making its first time appearance in game. Knowing Supercell, they like to build on stuff which they have tweaked over time. For example the integration of Dark Barracks. Supercell didn't introduce witches or golems right off the bat, rather they started small with weaker troops such as the Minions, Hogs and Valks and built off them; changing their stats as time went on and adding upgrading levels.
And as a thought, the concept of calculating Clan Trophies, matchmaking between the two opposing clan members, Clan placement in their war, Rewards if one opposition attacking one another, and rewards if the Clan won the battle is a very difficult thing to manage.
Now I am not doubting Supercell's capability and they have always surprised and baffled me at the things they can accomplish update after update, but I am saying that it is a very complex thing for a first-time appearance.
Returning back to my point though, Clan Wars focused on Farmers for the time being, it would make much more sense. Right? A more laid-back and easy going implementation focused on basically 99.9% of the community to test the waters of this update. As farmers, no-one cares about trophies, rather only loot. Needless to say I am only speaking about people farming in 0-2300 trophy range but people who farming in 2600-3100 do try and gain cups in order to maintain their count.
So how will Clan Wars be used in a farmer aspect? I'm not quite sure...however it might just be how well you can protect you resources? It's a very generalized statement, I know, but it seems to be the only logical idea? Farmers like their resources so why not steal them?
And that's all I have to say about this new hype for the upcoming Update which seems to be coming nearer!
Clan Wars is coming baby! Awwwwww yeaahhhh!
EDIT! MORE IDEAS:
My thought on this Clan War's implementation has furthered after a couple discussions with my clan-mates; mostly from a clan-mate named: Toffee. Like I said, I'm still basing this off the thought of how Clan Wars will be focused mainly on the Farmers for the time being. But like I had questioned earlier, how will this affect Players and the Clan in the Game? So here are some things we decided:
1) Since it's farming, the rules of gemming don't matter
2) Also reminiscing to how these Wars will be targeted on protecting resources, these features will depend more on raiding ability and base layouts in order to protect/steal the loot
3)Cups don't matter in Clan because it's farming
~Following this thought though, how will these possible "rewards" from the results of Clan War be gained? Is it like the Top Clans on Leaderboards where a top rank of players in game gain the prizes? Maybe that might encourage competitiveness inside the clan in order to gain the prizes over your friends!
4) When you're attacking another player, what do you gain besides the loot/stars and how do you contribute to your clan as a whole
~ My answer will be, just like trophy pushing, Clan Rank over the other clan will determine the winner. Just like how Clans push to make Top 200.
So this might be how it's laid out in this scenario where there are 2 teams; x and y: Clan v Clan --> Clan X Trophies > Clan Y Trophies. Clan X wins and loot is then distributed among the Winning Clan via distribution
Now this part is what Toffee said in game which I kind of don't understand but many might. He said, "The system of loot winning sounds similar to the in-game gem prizes and trophy calculation from ranks"
Not sure what ANY of that means but some people agreed with him so I think it's useful info.
Toffee then goes on to say this scenario which illustrates what I believe what he is trying to explain above:
"...e.g clan 1 > clan 2 in terms of star counts. Therefore Clan 1 wins (X) amount of loot distributed into percentages based on clans. Percentages remain unknown but could relate on how trophy count does now; Top 10-50%"
He further goes to say: "Loot plunder could be determined by X amount of stars [won in battle]" -!!!
In recap, Toff believes loot will be based on stars stolen and also Prize Loot from the Clan Wars will be distributed among a top % in clan, just like how gems are rewarded to Top Clans every season but are always spread out to the top 10 players of the clan.
So this goes to bring up a very interesting though. Will loot bonus be a variable or a fixed value??
