Frankly, I really liked the new update, but that is because I am TH7 and hadn't experienced all of the PROBLEMS with the update. I don't like it a whole lot anymore.
I love the extra 30 seconds per attack and the 23 hour prep day, but this update definitely splits player opinions. I find that split to likely be right in the middle of TH8. This split is very significant. Now that farming is useless, the game will be slower. That is THE problem for the YouTube side of the Clash community. A YouTuber I watch QUIT Clash because of the update, and I'm not just talking no more videos, I mean he deleted the app COMPLETELY! He was not having fun anymore because everything took so long that it was just a pain in the rear for him to remember to CHECK on clash and release nothing but war attacks in his videos! So it begged me to ask the community, DOES CLASH TAKE TOO LONG?
SC made the update to increase the need to buy gems, so that they wouldn't be uncontrollably right over the edge of the cliff, and choosing either to lose profits or put ads in the game. But now that they are making a bit more money, do you really think it should take in the range of six years to max TH11? I know this game is all about taking your time and sticking with "it", but I don't think that adding two-week long upgrades to do that is reasonable. This puts me on the fence about this update.
I was a hardcore farmer before the update, and I wasn't that upset when farming was eliminated, but then when I realized the effect this update had on high-level non-gemmers (and by non-gemmers I mean CHILDREN who CAN'T GEM) and especially on YouTubers, it made me upset. SC needs to release a big update every now and then, so that the popularity of the game won't go downhill from monotony and same old content. However, I think that this update, contrary to that statement, will DECREASE the popularity of the game!
I am making this thread for two purposes: 1) I think SC should decrease the times for some upgrades, especially TH, troops, teslas and other high-level defenses, and basically anything that takes more than a week. 2) I want your input: DOES CLASH TAKE TOO LONG?
