the most frustartaing part of this game

[mrtogue]

I sit there in a clan chat that some times buzzes by so fast you just cant keep up with the 4 to 5 different conversations going on at the same time

other times its dead as hell and I am bored out of my skull

I read on these boards about bans and no loot or some incredible attack setup or some thing that got changed and it either makes some one happy or some one upset,,

but all of that doesn't bother me,,

the thing that I cant wrap my head around the most is....the up and downs I feel when I am playing this game

I like the game,,, don't get me wrong and I don't plan on quitting it any time soon,,, but the ups and downs,, man I wish it would even out some

let me explain what I mean

I am ecstatic when I am in a war,,, and I get 6 stars for my clan,,, I am on a emotional high,,, whoo hoo

then I collect my war bonus,,, only to be sadden by the thought I will most likely lose or spend most of it with in hours of receiving it,, ( thus I am down )

I get mad at a attacked I either totally botched or from a raid I got when I went off line to go pee out the 5 cups of coffee I just drank over the last 4 hours of playing,, again I am emotionally on a high again

only to be crushed when I go try to revenge and cant because for some amazing chain of events the guy who just attacked me less then a min before has a shield already,,,,, again another down moment,

and this repeats and repeats till I go off line and then the next day i proceed to do it all over again,,,

the serious of ups and downs of this game, is not unlike any other drug I have taken, during bad decision making days in my past

its addictive and its wrong ,,, and god I freaken hope I don't get clean cause I don't think I would like to go thru the 12 steps of coc anonymous

clash on brothers,,,

Um, 4 hours straight? Do you have a job or a partner? Seriously.

I love the ups and downs; it makes it all the better.

1) Put TH outside.

2) Start making some decent army combo - baloonian / Giant + Barch.
3) Log out.
4) People will snipe your TH, you will get a 12 hr shield
5) Come back a little before the shield expires.
6) Collect loot from collectors.
7) Attack some base.
8) Repeat from 2).


Don't open the defense log, unless you see your base 2 starred. Don't revenge anyone. This will automatically reduce your time spent on chat. Never go global.

If a game determines your mood swings, it's time to be inactive for a while.

Every MMO is like that. This will help you understand the details of how MMO's addict us. It's a good read.
