Winter-Update-Post-your-FEEDBACK-here

I remember the first Christmas I had with Clash of Clans. It was really Christmassy. The villagers were wearing santa hats. The barbarian in the icon was wearing a santa hat...

But this Christmas update and the one before that was not even as good as the first one. I'm not gonna talk about the previous one since it is irrelevant. But this time, the villagers are not wearing santa hats, the water is not frozen (or has no floating ice on it), and the pine trees have no snow on them as well. The whole scene looks too warm. I think the scene needs to be darker and the greens need to be less vivid...

Also, the snow on the bigger tree looks a bit weird... I don't know why but it looks a bit pixelated.

Otherwise, it is a good update :-)

I saw that too, but it looks like no one else cares that the game can now access all of our personal files/pictures/video and practically anything on our device AND external memory cards.
Maybe that's because we live in such a safe beautiful world that SuperCell doesn't even think to provide explanation as to WHY THEY NEED AN ACCESS TO OUR PRIVATE FILES/MEDIA.

I very much hope more people will pick this issue up and wish that someone in SuperCell give us official answer.

I will not allow such a blatant intrusion. I was level 83 max th8, the game is now deleted from my device.

Anyway, my point. Giants level 7 will also free up Th10 to actually attack EACH OTHER. Before what exactly could a Th10 do against even a premature Th10 if they wanted to lazy farm? 50% looning, that is right, or barch. If you wanted the goods, you pretty much had to use GoWi or LavaLoonion. Both have a high DE sticker attached. I've been using the Valkyrie Tornado on weak Th10 (yes healers!!) and this is a huge boon for me.

Bring balloons to sacrifice to the seeking air mine gods. If appeased the DE mines will grant your healers safe passage through the battlefeild

Archers have become less effective and die more quickly, why not reduce their cost next update?

Why can I still use lix to upgrade my lvl 8 walls? Please tell me this is a glitch.

I was REALLY looking forward to the lix situation improving, but if we can still upgrade lvl 8 walls, which cost 1 million, then guess what - we still have a problem.

mmo guess the update as a whole will help things. But lvl 8 walls should not be allowed to use lix. Please tell me that SC is fixing this.

It feels...
...like this update was rushed. Dont follow ubisoft tracks SC!

I don't know about all the updates, but the elixir for walls adjustment was blatantly rushed. They slapped a band-aid fix that by removing it for TH7/8s will solve those THs loot problems, and to an extent TH9s, but the exact same situation will continue to exist for TH10s.

It was about time you gave the most dedicated players (and probably the biggest spenders) something. Th10 is the end game, hopefully in a few weeks we will be able to reap more rewards than all the th below us when we raid. Giants level 7 seem like a dream come true that will allow us to get the elixir we crave for our upgrades and that the th9 won't need. We all win tbh, it doesn't make sense that th9 stopped progressing bcs the loot situation was dreadful at th10.
Thanks SC!

I'm failing to see how you using lvl 7 giants will correlate into TH9s not dumping their elixir into walls for you to loot, which they can still do (lvl 9+). TH10s got a new level for a troop, but other than that this update completely ignored their problems.

I liked the idea of using my excess Elixir to upgrade my walls. Upgrading walls is going to be a complete pain and take forever. I am actually okay with walls taking longer to upgrade. The issue I have, is that now there is NOTHING to spend my Excess Elixir upon. While I can spend the Elixir on troops, I then have to log off after an attack and wait for another army to build.

BArchers worked because the cost in time to rebuild an army was not that great. I could fiddle around and with Clan Chat or move my village around while I waited for my army to rebuild in 15-20 minutes. Building an army of other types of troops just takes too long. But what if we reduced that time?

If the cost of troops stays the same but the time it takes to build an army with is decreased then I can spend my time actually attacking and enjoying the game. Archers are currently 25 seconds...a Wizard takes 8 minutes. Geez. Keep the damage and Housing Space cost the same but decrease that to 2 minutes or even halve it to 4 minutes. I will create more expensive armies to raid with and have more places to spend my Elixir. Just my two cents.

SC meant that you can't upgrade walls to less than Lvl9 with elixir. You can't use elixir anymore from walls level 6 to 7 level 7 to 8, but you can still use it on walls level 8 to level 9 and higher.

Are people really pleased with this update?

How can it possible have taken 3 months to produce .. it feels like they probably put this together in about an hour, tweaking a few things, adding an extra level to a giant. I mean come on, it's absolutely pathetic. Why not use the millions that you're making every day and put something good back in to the game, new quests etc, entirely new troops, town halls, defenses. Keep it fresh or you'll lose loyal clashers.

You're not the only one. Aside from the Layout Editor and 2x firing rate AT (jury is still out on if that was a good move or not, but giving SC the benefit of the doubt here and assuming they researched the effects of this implementation), this update was basically all smoke and mirrors.

The one thing, ONE thing they could have addressed which was a huge problem (the elixir for walls), it seemed like they spent no more than 20 minutes discussing before settling on a band-aid fix for it ("just remove it for two of the levels, now let's get the hell outta here I'm starving!"). I respect whatever skills these devs had in helping to code and design this game, as that is way out of my league, but good lord do they need help in their game economics department.

The amount of th7/8s whining is ridiculous. Completing lvl7/8 walls is pretty easy with just gold. You have to realize that th7/8 is a short part of the game 2 maybe 3 months. Once you upgrade your th and discover what grinding truly is youll understand why this was needed.

OT: Like the update, lvl12 collectors long overdue, lvl7 giants a good way to keep the pecking order with farming armies. (lvl6 giants smash th8,lvl7 giants smash th9). Archer tower change will prob hurt high level barching, but you really shouldnt be able to win against maxed bases with a 20 min t1 army and no spells. And save layouts is awesome
