dont know why they havent considered this!

They probably have but that means you'll get resources for free.

You need to buy them

[Fr4ncisc0]

They want you to train full bases everytime. 1 hour of training to get 200k

If have been quite skeptic about the update, but I have changed my mind. Well done Supercell.

First of all I like the fact, that you take the efford to explain the upcoming changes in detail and not in tiny little videos.

I have the feeling, that your thoughts on how to improve things for all players (not for each individual player) are solid and well balanced. The fact that so many players a complaining about the changes is an indicator that something went wrong in the past. Of course many player will have to change their behaviour. They need to be more active or loosing trophies. On the other hand it will be easy to attack during those periods of time each day, when we have the time, instead of playing according to the shield.

I hope good news will go on until we finally see the update.

Looks like someone didn't get the update

[Vatchio]

That is wishful thinking. Those th8s and 9s will be hiding behind their failed attack 30% shields.

No because there will be more TH9s and TH8s in champion/masters. There are still going to be rushed/gemmers/dead bases to attack so its not like they removed any loot from the first 2 parts to begin with.

Players who invested their time will probably continue to play, but anyone who downloads the game after the update will delete the game after a minute!!!

[QUOTE=spencer0071;5870401]Y'all are slowing the game. Two attacks are possible before the PBT without gemming. BARCH and BAM are out. Big, expensive, long to train armies are about the only option now. But y'all still want us to play more.[/]

Gone are my marathon sessions of collecting the goal, spending it and logging off.
I used to be active but with work and having a life how do you play constantly.
With limited time this is how I play now. Login to collect loot before shield runs out. Get snipe and get another 12 hrs and go to bed. Wake up collect loot and logged of. After 2 weeks would have about 8 mill of gold and elixir to upgrade defense and troops. Yes once in a while get fully raided but make it up by waiting a few extra days. Supercell has nerf passive playing.

With this the moment you log off you get raided and lose 100k to 200k of each resources but if you don't get 50% army usage means you get raided a few times. You can never recover your loses from just collectors. You have to raid constantly to make up for the loses by attacking also. Yes encouraging playing but leaves out the passive players in the cold.

You either have to abandon the game or play constantly which works for the hard core players but for the once in a while players sorry it is game over.

Maybe it is Supercell's way of getting more dead bases with players leaving so that the active gemmers and other players benefit because they are paying Supercell and not the passive players.

Thanks alot.

I was expecting this to happen

[Sparetime11]

just gets worse and worse. thanks for spoiling my holiday weekend, sc. was about to drop a $50 iTunes giftcard on a gem box, too. but i'll be holding off on that for awhile and likely taking my business elsewhere.

these updates are going to murder my casual family clan.

"Ok dear dev team. We have a game called Clash of Clans. Our director just mentioned on the meeting that it doesn't matter that is properly balanced and all mechanics are working fine right now. The main goal for the next update is to get even more money prom players. Any ideas?"

Yep! Let't check it out:

1. To make 'shielding' even more complicated. Players will not be able to farm resources (or to protect them) just easily as now due to they will not be able to get shield because of TH is outside of the village and can be easily taken down. This means that any player with more resources would be more likely attacked by other players. Did you get me boss? Many players will be forced to buy missing resources!
2. What we can also do with those players that can spent more time in a game (when trying to max their loot)? I have a great idea - Personal Break. Let's make farming more restricted! And if there will be many 'haters'? They can BUY personal shield or guard, fair enough.
3. Looting and league bonuses - guys, using telemetry we've found that there are also many players using some weird cheep armies. I have a great plan boss! We need to distribute loot across more buildings to make it more complicated. Also league bonus can be scaled - less destruction, less bonus. Did you get me? Players will be forced to use more expensive / strong armies to be able to get the loot. Also the time required for army prep. is significantly higher. If you take into consideration Personal Break together with lower frequency of attacks - again, our goal is almost there - to make farming harder and to force players to buy gems / resources for expensive upgrades.

Any other ideas team?
Boss, there are still more things on the way. E.g. we can think about no loot from collectors at all. Also we can try to introduce all our changes as a big step for CoC to be more likely 'e-sport', you know. Basically more players would be more likely forced to buy resources however if they spent quite a big amount of money, we should offer them a 'feeling' that they are special ones. Any idea about names / titles? Titan players, League of Ancients, something like that..

"Great! You are the best team in SC. I hope that our mission will be successful. And if so I have a great surprise for you. Not just one actor - Liam Neeson; we will be able to pay also for Johny Depp, Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt. Our next advertisement will be directed by Mr. Spielberg and our target is not just super bowl but the first broadcast from Mars!"

Long story short:
Unfortunately another crappy game mechanic change. I'm really disappointed due to I was considering CoC as just one of those games with some kind of evolution however stable basics. I can see just big push on monetization right now. Guys again - you've scr*wed up Boom Beach before, why are your trying to make the same mistake twice?

[Cyprien1982]

i think you are right, players will benefit more from pushing into higher leagues even if you are a farmer.
you still will be using full armies to raid but will get that additional league bonus too in higher leagues.

dont think collector raids in gold or lower will be as profitable now, thoughts?

I have only ever farmed in gold/silver and have never relied on the loot bonus so my plan is to stay there at least for a few days post update to see if it's still the same. If not I'll need to push.
