I just might be a bad player - so what?

That was the joy of the game.

You could walk in, spam your troops and do halfway decent in the game.

As you moved up the town halls you had to start to figure out troop combinations.

But if you were higher than an opponent you could still "spray and pray" and get the job done.

A great way to kill time, and turn off your brain if you wanted.

What a phone game should be. Clash certainly isn't one of those AAA monsters. I'm sorry if the employees think that way, but unfortunately they're miles away from that goal.

Which is actually good. It's what made the game enjoyable and why 100 million people downloaded it.


And to be perfectly honest, can you imagine them making a 20-30 gig game? It took 3 updates, a year of 'extensive testing' and the coding equivalent to *20-25 YEAR OLD GAME* and it's still screwed up.

I never understood why people ever looked up and respected the low th lv players or defenceless bases that got to champion or Titans league, it was only possible by sniping, they were not skill full they just had a lot of time on their hands

Interesting... I was defenseless and NEVER TH sniped unless it was waiting for an army to build, and only then in gold because finding bases above gold was a waste of time. I typically hung around crystal unless i needed to push higher, which really took no skill at all except I had to manage WHO I was being hit by and WHEN I was hit in addition to being worried about HOW I was hit, unlike a "defended" base. So get informed kid because it took less skill to ride on the haunches of a defense than it did to recoup a complete wipe twice a day. Either way attacks were the same, one just required more play.

2 days to make 2mil is not good. You can get 1mil alone from your collectors. More if you started boasting

A level 5 cc is 5 mil, not two, and i got 2.5 mil per day. Silence.

Hello,

So in many of the threads where we complain we hear how we should adapt, or how we are spoiled by cheap shields or by free loot from TH snipes. How we don't know how to farm or how to attack.

I always considered myself a good player, and most of us did.

But... What if I am a bad player? What if 90% of the community are in fact bad players?

So, you have adapted, you are a good player and you love the update. Good for you. However consider this example: In league of legends ~5% of the players are in Diamond league or above. They can be considered good. If we consider everyone below them bad players, then in that game 95% of the players are bad. Now imagine that 95% of the players in Clash of Clans are just as bad as all those players in League. What did this update do to them?

See, the problem is, it might have made the game better for that top 5%. But all those bad players... No, they can't cope with this. And why should they? It is a game which we play for fun. If it's not fun, people might stop playing.

You can keep posting your fancy attack logs, it still doesn't change that our own attack logs are bad. And we will probably never improve.

Thanks for considering this,
Dorsan - a th9 noob

Amen! Certainly glad that I'm not the only one who would like to see an end to this elitist garbage and continuous bashing of people who dare voice their idiotic opinion in the mighty face of rich and powerful supercell. Why do you think the forums exist? They exist so that the players who care about the quality of the game they are playing can have a VOICE. So please, next time you see "another complaining noob who doesn't know how to 'farm properly,'" remind yourself that everyone has an equal right to be here. If you don't like a thread, don't go write a nasty elitist garbage reply about how you can 3star everyone 2 townhall levels above you. Just ignore it. If you have nothing nice to say....then say nothing at all. (Oh and if you are about to quote my post and launch a personal attack on me, please consider the irony, and don't prove me to be exactly correct.)

[Nightstalker007]

I think this update was designed to serve the 95% of the average to below average players up on a platter to the top 5%.

If you get raided successfully defend... your reward is 'no shield' and getting raided again and again and again until someone can finally take your loot. Shouldn't WINNING a defense be rewarded? Not punished by getting you raided over and over until you get crushed?

That's a good idea to get rid of elitists (I'm pro-update but not an elitist cus i sûck at attacking) but if everyone has to follow that then most threads in general these past few weeks wouldnt exist, because it isn't just the elitists and pro updaters like me who are rude.

[dorsan]

I have just read the only bad players can't play now argument in several threads AGAIN, so I feel this thread needs a bump right now.

[Wesley1001]

Interesting standpoint Dorsan. COC was a multi-faceted game, war, farm, or push! And for many of the casual players using barch, that was their source of income, a cheap strategy, and tons of loot from dead bases!

When SC made this update, casual farming was severely nerfed, many farmers didn't have experience with/didn't know other attack strategies, which take time and "skill."
This update rewarded the hardcore players. They have to realize other players need to progress, and much of their playerbase isn't hardcore.

You are the kind of players that SC does not intend should be playing this game.
This game isnt about fun. You can only play if you are dead serious.

To successfully adapt the new update
- sleep only when you have shield and army is building not when you feel sleepy
- keep an alarm based on shields and army making, pbt etc
- Spreadsheet for profit calculations, and write an algorithm calculating on average how much you lose/win and how many attacks needed for that 7-8 milion upgrades
- Gem/boost etc
- if you dont get a shield and only lose resources, you are not in right league. climb higher
- If you get smashed and someone walked over your base you are too high, drop
- if you farm dead bases with cheap armies, you belong to bad players category. get lost.
- you need to give higher priority on game than your school/office/wife/kids/exams etc. if you give lame excuses that i don't have enough time. This game isnt for you

All in all, listen to what SC tells you to do. We all have been playing it wrong for 3 long years.

then how new players will like this game ?
