Sneak peeks!!!:d

[Scribble]

upgrading walls, heroes regen reduced (thank the lord) and valk buff? Yes, I'm not blind, nor did I complain about any of those things.

So what is the point you are trying to make? They revealed different things for the new update. So what?

Idiotic idea! Now everyone will have very strong walls. Why do I even bother?

Everyone used to "BOAST/COMPLAIN" about having nowhere for their elixir to go! Why not be able to put it into walls? I dont get this like seriously does everyone just LOOK for things to cry about? This is a good thing. Granted i feel bad for those that farmed their butts off with gold for max walls but the game is changing and a change is good.

[lanesteele240]

You already have enough upgrades... Im TH9 maxxed except walls and im very content with this update because i STILL have TH10 to go through. Wa Wa Wa... Some of you guys need to realize all those maxxed TH10's out there need more to do than the rest of us and just be excited for when you move up. Im not on the forums alot for this reason right here. And its not just you its alot of ppl here. Suck it up. Its a great game and whining over and over apparently isnt going to get you guys what you want.

Most are just not happy that higher ups get more stuff to mash them with and they get nothing to mash the ones under them with

Thanks for the 1 gem boost super sale. Good looking out

People complaining that updates are never for lower level players would be like people complaining about candy crush and how new updates with more levels are never for lower level players.

[stinkypete]

I see no indication it's not being well received, it seems people are pretty excited about it to me.

I can see voicing valid complaints but to attach it to a pretty popular update and say this update is not being well received seems pretty odd imo.

Have you read the last few pages of Marika's sneak peek sticky? Hardly the overwhelmingly enthusiastic group of posts that normally accompany sneak peek threads.

[navjain]

I guess SuperCell should apologize for keeping the suspense going? Definitely wasn't disappointing for me or my clan. We talked about the new troop for hours!

You asking for the no-suspense reveal is like asking a Movie director to give out the whole plot and the climax of the movie in a trailer. No point waiting so long for the movie to release.

[Conan]

First off, let me state that from my point of view, your premise is wrong as I find that this update is being well received. Most people I know can't wait for the deployment, myself included.

1. Loot is terrible: Something has to be done about this. Every third forum post is about how terrible the loot is (Hint: No one wants to spend more on the army and the search than they reap in a win). The league and league bonus is a nice idea, but it doesn't seem well thought out. No one is locked into a league, and there is nothing for finishing at the top of your league, so moving up the ranks means zilch. More importantly, the bonuses for winning a "league" battle, even at high levels, is far far too low to make up for having to spend copious amounts of gold searching forever, and elixir/DE on high-level, high-cost, time-consuming armies. Boost the bonus exponentially, and make being in a league with 100 other players mean something tangible if you really want players to fight for trophies and keep their TH inside.

Loot is not terrible. I have two accounts, TH10 and TH 8. For TH 8 and under, it's fantastic, you just need to learn how to raid efficiently. My TH 8 is defenceless and I have no problems farming whatever I need. With TH9, it becomes a bit harder. You get TH 10's taking all your loot but generally speaking, Gold league is where I farmed and maxed out my TH 9. Now TH 10, yes - it's hard and loot is scarce. But you know what? it's the last TH level and it's "end game" content here and I'm not in any hurry to max out my TH 10 because then I'll have nothing to do! Indeed, farming at this higher level is hard and I'm glad they give a challenge to those who get this far. I'll soon be finished my skull walls so trust me, I know exactly what the loot is like, yet I managed to farm my skulls at TH 10, which was a mistake as I should have done it at TH 9, it would have been so much easier. I have no issues with the loot at any level and I appreciate a nice challenge, finally a game that is worth my while.

Another poster here asked "seriously, who doesn't want more loot?" - I don't. Really, I don't... well, not easy loot anyways. Can you imagine how boring it would be to easily farm all you need at TH 10, get to the end and just sit there doing nothing? What would be the point in that?

2. Opt In and Opt Out for Clan Wars (Chosen by Leaders and Co-Leaders): This needs to be addressed immediately. It should have been addressed when Clan Wars came out, and we have been harping on you about it since. Yes, there are ways to choose who goes to war and who doesn't. But no Leader wants to have to constantly boot and re-invite our clan mates. It is a tedious exercise and it eventually causes these booted clan mates to not come back (bad for clan morale), or quit the game completely (bad for clan morale, and bad for Supercell). We want to play and socialize with our friends and clan mates, even if they are casual players, those don't want to war constantly, those that take a break or can't participate in a war, or those that aren't competitively ready. I'm tired of the "Don't worry, I will invite you right back" game. Make this happen... like... now.

They have very good reasons to not do this and it is against the ideology they are trying to create in Clash. Steve put it very well and I don't need to repeat exactly what he said, but it's very logical and understandable. I would suggest you look up SC's reasons for not doing this and perhaps then you will see why this is not a good idea. I have to say, I totally agree with SC's vision here.

3. Matchmaking is bad: Go to the Clan Wars section and scroll through if you don't believe me. Consistent junk matchmaking makes clans not want to war at all. The algorithm needs to be tightened greatly, or you need to rethink your matchmaking system all together. Currently, it seems like the only way to get a fair match is to cancel your searches before the ~10 minute mark and start the war search again. Otherwise your clan is either far more advanced, or far less advanced than the competing clan because your parameters are too wide. This makes for a lopsided, dull war. You have stated that you believe mismatches are preferable to no match or very long searches. I believe the opposite is true. I would bet that the overwhelming majority of clans would rather have no match or wait several hours and get an even match than this mess we have now.

Strange. Most of the CW fights I have been in is very close and very tight. We need everyone's participation to make sure we get the stars. and yes, even with the quality of players in Solar, we lose some wars, but only by a few stars. I find the matchmaking to be perfect. In defenceless, however, we search for matches for DAYS before we are matched. so please, I would rather more broad parameters or else we would never get matched at all. Waiting days is really not pleasant, I don't want to see it get even worse.

see bolded. So instead of that, what will happen now is they will boot you without asking you to, and then re invite you anyway, either way you won't get to participate, so that is not a valid point with how clans are currently managing this.

Okay, I know this has been asked soo many times, buy seriously when is the update out? I was hoping it was out yesterday or today, but no... Friday night is a perfect time to bring out the update, and now by the looks of it, it will be out monday :/
