New matchmaking and game difficulty

[Samscott83]

I think the trophy match up is great in that we are getting fairer battles, but I personally relied on being able to take easy resources every 3rd or 4th battle to continue and cover costs. No one likes being raided by someone 20 levels above them and losing 180K of their stash, but now there is nothing. Keep matchmaking the same but find someway to inject more Elixer into the game. If you can only raid 4 times a day from collectors, what are the customers doing for the other hours of gameplay they are used to????. Playing some other developers game for free.

Why not match by level, these people tend to have a similar level of defence as you, but you still get the variety in attacking. If you find those with low trophies who are farming you should be able to win more resources, if you find a good player you may be able to win more trophies from them.

All good players spend some time hunting for trophies and some for resources, but now we have lost the mix and have to go for one or the other

Seams silly to have most people now attacking with 1 soldier just to lose, I've had about a dozen of these attacks in the last 24 hrs. Please tweak something to fix this - either put more resources into the game or make things much cheaper, including troops

Prior to this update you had some good views and opinions on things all to do with clash but I'm sorry pedro your views on this new update are so wrong if you cant tell that this update does not just favor ppl that spend lots of money on gems then you are really working for supercell,and can you please stop endorsing the update on all the threads one is enough,as you are the only person that is.

I'm liking the update, and I don't spend tons of gems. Please do not speak on my behalf.

Respectfully:
This is a strategy game... and just like in real life, the rules change, beyond our control.
To truly be sucessful, we must all learn to adapt to ever changing conditions.
The pre-halloween update was difficult to adapt to, but I (and my clan) did...we just had to continue playing to figure out what worked best for us. In first day or two of that upgrade, I too was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ranted and raged... Then, I figured it out. I actually came back to the forums to retract my rage.
The previous update (The "Halloween" update) also caused some ranting and raging on the forum. (This time, no raging from me... I learned my lesson the first time) The dynamics changed a bit, and I (and my clan) adapted.
Now, this latest update is upsetting people. The way you played before may not necessarily work as well this time. Give it a few days and try different strategies... I'm sure people will be able to find out what works for them.

I understand that many people don't want to drop trophies. But honestly, trophies are completely arbitrary anyway and only exist to glorify you within the COC community so you may increase your rank. Before flat out refusing to drop your trophy's, why not give it a try? If you got up that high, surely you can get there again! Temporarily (perhaps that's what many aren't understanding... the drop can be completely temporary) reduce your trophies to get "better" attacks. Build up your resources and upgrade your defenses, then continue your rise through the ranks. Don't be so quick to get frustrated. Play the game a little more, even if it has to be in a different tactic than what you were first used to. Im sure you're able to find a way to enjoy it once more...perhaps you'll enjoy it even more this time!

Good luck!

Supercell, I get the change n I totally support it, harder matches means more challenge, meaning more people using strategies instead of release troops and clap hands at the 3 stars I got for using my iPhone correctly.

However, can u please explain what has happened to the resources, have u lessen the available resources again? I got attacked with 500k elix, the attacker got 3 stars, totally destroy me, but only went away with 100k? He was only 1 town hall lvl above me. Please explain.

To answer your question, I am enjoying the update so far. My attacks are more challenging (which often means less rewarding {elixir/gold wise}) yet I'm discovering that I can beat levels that I previously wouldn't even have attempted.

For what it's worth, somehow, it seems​ that my defense is more successful than previously. I now seem to be winning attacks (even from higher levels) more than before. Prior to the update, I wouldn't win very many attacks at all. Since the update, Ive been attacked 6 times and only lost a star on 1. (And no, the defense victories were not a 1 troop trophy drop... they were real attacks.) I don't know if that is a result of that update, or just my upgrading of defenses... But I did gain over 100 trophies on day 1 of the upgrade without me attacking... something that had never before happened.

I feel for your team... you can please some people some of the time, but you DEFINITELY can't please all the people all the time.

Thanks for a great game.

Because level is meaningless. There are many things that you can do that give you experience. Why should match making be based off the number of troops you donate or trees you clear?

I've wondered...what is the XP for, anyway? I don't see a purpose for XP unless somehow it's factored into the matchmaking?? Otherwise, it's "just there."

Because it measures your EXPERIENCE, which is a much better barometer of skill than an arbitrary trophy count.

I can only imagine what it must be like for lv 10-20s trying to advance in the game honestly when their matchmaking pool has been saturated by lv 50-60s. And how many trophies can they potentially win by pulling off the impossible and beating a lv 60? How about a whopping 30 trophies!

The lvl 10-20s will probably not see many 50-60 lvl opponents, they will most likely see opponents closer to their level. the 50-60's will lvl up after their farming escapades.

the upgrade is good but for high trophy like us must wait maybe 1 hour to find a match sometime need 2 hour.
