Do you guys hate the new wallbreaker update?

[RuthlessBarbarian]

I've answered "yes" just to mess with the stats. I do believe it is premature to judge updated wb without trying them.

Let's first try them out and than provide our feedback. At this point anything shared will be speculative.

My goal is to build a "WB madhouse" for the new WBs hahaha

new base designs will come out, which should be fun.

if wallbreakers only target walls with "things behind them," it may be possible to fool the new ai by creating fake walls. the wallbreakers might still be opening up areas of your base, but i always thought completely wasted wallbreakers were kind of silly.

i do wish, however, that decorations still prevented dropping. at least initially, that change makes me sadder than the wallbreaker ai.

any word about the trees/bushes/rocks? will those still prevent dropping? sigh...

I hate it. I use spikes on my base and now will have to come up a new base design. I also don't use wb's I traded them off with barbs and am happily living minus the long wait time and cost and I still don't intend to use them so I don't benefit at all from this update.

we will all have the some base design after all, layers and layers..

Anytime a company improves A.I, that's a good thing, just learn to counter it.

Wrong. They followed the exact same algorithm every time, thus they acted the same way every time. Perhaps it wasn't the way you expected or calculated, but that does NOT mean they acted differently.

Updating the WB AI the way they've done will just make it so people stack their walls a lot more. Ultimately leader people to just use air attacks. I think this also takes away from strategy not only defensively but also offensively.

I never had an issue with my wallbreakers. If you manage to penetrate the first layer of walls, all you had to do was drop more in the same spot you dropped the first ones and they would immediately go to the second layer of walls. Just because people don't understand how to use them doesn't mean they need to be dumbed down and take up more space in my army camp. People think 'oh man now I won't have to carry 30 wallbreaks' guess what, you'll carry 15 now but it will still take up 30 places in your camp.

Worthless update on the WB AI and a waste of time when they could have focused on more important things to update. Time poorly managed in my opinion.

Agreed. 10 char

well said twister.

I'm quite impressed that they are able to aim at the T junction of the base in that vid.

T junctions are a no-no then.

I don't think that's true, just put better quality wall pieces at those junctions. You should be able to lure 'new' wbs from weaker walls onto stronger ones. At least, I think that may be possible. Time will tell.

Just got attacked by 20 wall breakers. Man, I'm going to miss such replays
Skip to 1:10 for the wall breaker strikes.

Well the game has always favored the offense since not only can you choose where to deploy troops, you can also choose who you want to raid.... With this WB update, defense will become a lot tougher than usual unless they increase tower damage or fire rate and wall HP.

And thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't mean to set some fire or conflicts for making this poll. I guess I'll just make this poll again when the update is finally out.

I need to actually use them before I pass judgement as a player.

As a mod though, I can tell you this. Wallbreaker behavior/AI has been a top-5 complaint for months both on the forums and during clan visits. I'm sure it ranked high on the list with Facebook/Twitter and Support ticket complaints too. I was going to link a bunch of complaint threads, but I quit looking at about 25 recent ones - they're easy enough to find with a search. Point is, the Forums have been screaming for a change forever. As a result, the devs took all the feedback, and came up with a system they think is better.

Give it a chance.

Hope your wage goes down the toilet for good supercell..... Your losing grip on game and players.... Now we're forced to buy gems for stronger walls...every update gets stupider and this one is probably enough to push me off the edge.... Try playing without gems and perks you mods and Devs since you go' oh don't complain until you give it a try' and all that ♥♥♥♥.....a blue flying midget? A half naked girl wielding an axe? And MR T RIDING A HOG?! ( your gonna get sued for that)......
