Sneak peeks!!!:d

I don't understand this whole need for compensation or recognition just for grinding out walls. I don't know if it's entitlement, jealousy, or what, but it's a very strange attitude. It's the point of the game, you progress your base. SC made a change to fix the obvious problem with elixir at high th levels, it's ridiculous having max elixir for months at a time. They also brought walls down to a more realistic, though still time consuming, level. It's a good and necessary fix.

That's only part of it. Of course if you've spent months grinding you want some recognition. Say you spent the time grinding these walls, for ex 6 months as a th9 with full elix... Wouldn't you want these walls you could've potentially gotten then?

Maybe you would've been able to upgrade to th10 earlier.

Edit: Regardless, you do bring up a good point, and I 100% agree that the wall upgrade is necessary.

As a TH10, I have similar feelings to you and your clanmates. The main point you raised was to do with the archer towers now being even stronger thus making it harder for us looners. To further this, the elixir count is going to be significantly reduced on pretty much every base. These two updates are probably the only downside in my opinion. I have recently been farming with giants at lower trophy ranges purely to save elixir to save for the level 7 troops and the dark barracks. To be honest with you, looning is my favourite farming strategy since it doesn't require you to go through strenuous sessions with barching and instead have time to do other things.

However, with the 1/2 price and 1/2 training time mini update on the wizards, I've tried farming with wizards. I've never really used them for this purpose due to the obvious factors of price and time. But I've been enjoying my farming immensely and profiting from it very well.

Overall, my first look on the update is a positive one. Looking forward to using the new troop which as a balloonion lover is brilliant!

You are pretty close.

The SC games being at the "Top" usually gets a bit faster treatment from Apple. As you said, Google Play is almost instant - I don't remember Google ever delaying things.

The SC games are typically 5-7 days after they are submitted for approval. Then as you said, Apple approves them, but they aren't automatically released to the public, it just sits in the Developer account waiting for an SC person to push the button (timed with a server maintenance to upgrade the servers).

Typically if we forecast an update release on a Thursday, the app was submitted to Apple for approval the previous week, usually say Tuesday-Wednesday time frame. Then typically it takes Apple a week to approve it, and we start running the sneak peeks even before it's approved. If all had gone as planned, Apple would have approved it on Tuesday or Wednesday for our Thursday release. But... as I said, the apple event has things a bit jammed up right now.

Thanks for clearing that up! People truly have no idea how "at Apple's mercy" we really are as developers. The main thing the general public needs to understand is that the update is coming (as soon as possible) and that SC as a company has given us an awesome chance to build money before the upgrade with the boost! And to further explain how a 1 gem boost was possible but not an update.... 1 gem boost is done on the server (which SC most likely owns) and update is at the mercy of Apple's approval. Be happy that we got all these awesome things in one week! Apple's new devices, 1 gem boost, and a Clash update! This is one awesome week to be a geek!

Just change the games name to Waiting in Clans. That way people will better understand that's what this game is all about and complain less.

So why dont SC create a sticky thread to inform us?

If the Supercell developer don't work at weekend, why did the first sneak peak then launch on a sunday?

[reallyjosh]

So why dont SC create a sticky thread to inform us?

Because they truly don't know when Apple will approve it.... I'm definitely not even close to SC status, but I have waited 19 days before.

[Moustafaka]

If the update is after 1 week or tomorow on tonight? I am waiting if after 1 week its a problem

[Natesmiles]

No it isnt, you are expected to be at work by your boss, supercell dont have a boss or someone to report to, poor analogy, if supercell had said, the update will be on the 12th of September then fair analogy as that would be a deadline, but they didnt so its not

What I meant was saying apple is the cause of supercell not being able to make a deadline is a poor excuse.

Yes I know their is no deadline, but it's apparently assumed by this forum community.

Everyone has a boss btw ...

In very loose terms we as a whole are their "boss" if we stop paying them for their "work" then they are out of a "job"

Kind of went off track, i only really meant that blaming others is no real excuse here or in real life.

Come On!!!!!! That’s all?
We expect the Great Update (maybe the last) on the CoC history and In my particular opinion, I will wait for a “Surprise” when the update was delivered.




I think that the change on the walls upgrade is going to broke the stability on the game economy. It’s going to be very hard (more than today) to find resources, and not all the player like to attack with little archeries, we want to use all the powerful of our tropes.





Archeries and barbarias……….. that’s to attack villages under TH8? Boring.

Ouuuu yes, the Valkyrie, mmmm How cares??? No one use the valkyrie.




Regeneration reduced, Ok, this reduce the use of gems (upsssss, is not this the business?)



Dismiss the tropes …… all Know how to dismiss the unwanted tropes, this is not an update. Valkyrie……. Seriously? No one use her!



Finally you use three days of announcements to provide only one announcement? Lava Hound, I see the video and now the air attack is going to be the option? but only with the Hound #3, or not?

I know it!!!! Acher tower 13 to defense the Archeries and barbarian 7…. This going to be as the Pekka 5 that are risible destroy by the high level Teslas.

As I commented, I expect a great Update but, the great update did not arrive.

I think that the following update after this, is not going to arrive on time before the massive migration of the top player to other games due the actual boring situation.

If I’m wrong and this update was “The Update” considered by the players, I will print my comment and eat with an American Coffee.

Brilliant post, really enjoyed reading not even being sarcastic
