The Game is Now Divided - Casuals vs Hardcore (Maxed out bases)

[Stitch]

From the feedbacks on the update thread, it is evident there are two group of people in Clash of Clans now..

1. First group are those hardcore players who celebrate clan wars, and the chance at 3 stars with lavahounds, they are usually gemmers, and maxed out bases. They hate this update because its just 2 stars war now. GoWipe is almost impossible to 3 star, now lavaloons are also almost impossible.
2. Second group are those casual players who are maxed out, usually not gemmers, do not play for 3 stars, settle with 2 stars. They love this because they have been 3 starred by lavahounds for a long time.

What do you think?

Don't believe everything people tell you.

A lot of the people in category one will pretend that's the reason however Supercell seem to have stopped ways of "practising" on bases prior to attack. Even if the Air Sweeper wasn't here this fix alone will stop the majority of 3 star raids.

Because you simply arent a th10 maxed base yet, and have not tried 3 starring against a th10 maxed base either. You will never understand the difficulty before the update, and will never understand the difficulty after the update now.

Your original post there are two groups who play this game, maxed out and maxed out. Your next statement you are not maxed out, quite a contradiction.

"I've been playing this game since the beginning. I have a th10 and a th8.

By late game the attacks you can make on a th10 are very limited. Hogs, Giants, and Valks all become high risk due to heal being a less efficiant spell thanks to inferno towers. So while many people go to th10 looking for more options, the reality is that they are now much more limited in what they can do at war.

You basically have about 2 choices. Lavaloonion, GOWIPE, or maybe a moded GOWIPE. Now you can plan your strategy for the drop all day, but against a good th10 your success ratio is pretty similar to flipping a coin. Maybe it works perfect, maybe it crashes and burns for a 32% 0 star. Now the first year I had a th10 that was ok I guess, but at this point it's just plain stale. I have been hoping for some new units to breath some life into this game for a long time. I figured since SUPERCELL is pulling $millions daily they really shouldn't have any trouble on this.....
I was wrong.

Instead of adding something to improve creativity in the game, they added yet another defensive tower that actually reduces the success rate of half your war army options. SUPERCELL's updates should give a player more to play with. More options for strategys and attacks that got us into the game in the first place. Instead we are seeing things like Heal being shut down by inf towers(why? They weren't strong enough allready!?) Or the windmill throwing a wrench into the lavaloonion. And for the record the Lavaloonion is not an easy 3 star attack on a well developed th10. Between cc, traps, infs, AD, and high lvl queen, it's darn near impossable.

Realy hoping some new units are the way.

I have not been playing that long, a little over a year myself. However, I could not agree more. The only significant troop that has been added since I started playing is the lavahound. Surprise, this update counteract that addition. The problem is SC is so hell bent on limiting 3 star attacks that it puts all its effort into this. Make the game more fun and give us more option to 3 star with. Who cares if there are only a couple stars left at the end or war.

So productive.

I wonder what OneHive thinks about this.

"Jake from OneHive, here to tell you that CoC is ♥♥♥♥ now"

Imagine....

[itoslemma]

So you're just assuming that SC added a new defense with out doing their homework to see if it will actually affect an attack? I think what he is simply trying to say is that to 3 star a max TH10 with a good defensive layout things need to go next to perfect. Now with the slight defensive advantage added its safe to say that being better than perfect is impossible. Make sense to me.

The new defense adds a new quirk. While it may reduce the number of three stars, it may also reduce the number of two stars as well and thus still create scoring dispersion.

To say that it is now making the three star completely impossible lacks imagination in the face of a new challenge. To make such a statement without any actual evidence, is just downright ridiculous.

forget the sweeper its nothing. town hall based matchmaking has changed clash for ever! negative or positive it is too early to determine but there are arguments for both and certainly impacts end game th's more than lower th's!

No, there are also the casual players who hate this update because after getting 3*ed by hounds, they looked forward to the day that they would have max loons and hounds so that they could do some 3* attacks, but then SC nerfed it before they got a chance.
