Armies being too expensive and time consuming is the real issue

[PhantomRaspberryBlower]

I think people are misdiagnosising the issue with the update.
People are complaining about the lack of loot. But the loot is certainly there. The real issue is that it can take 2 hours and a massive cost to win it.
It also a higher risk. Sometimes attacks go wrong. There is nothing more frustrating than building an army for 2 hours screw up then have to wait another 2 hours. Maybe getting raided between. That is what people mean by 'not fun'
One of the main reason people liked barch was because it allowed them to play more or less continuosly. Now even if v boosted you have often to wait half an hour.
What's the point boosting if it doesn't let you keep playing?
Then there's the donations issue. If we are at war and it takes me FORTY FIVE minutes to make a golem or a hound to donate that stops me raiding for ages. This is not FUN.

Compare this to boom beach where the maximum possible build time is 1hour 10 mins and usually you need none at all then it certainly looks like the build and cost of armies on clash have gone way out of control.

If armies and spells were cheaper and quicker people would donate more. Raid more play more boost more. Experiment more. Generally have more fun and be willing to invest more in the game and have a more rewarding experience.

Who agrees /disagrees?

Hell yes!

The game is perfect now, except for the training time which ruins it totally. Reduce by at least 50%.

You do know that u can gem your troops? Theres a little green button in your barracks. Tap it and your troops are instantly finished. The way the game is meant to be played.

1. learn the concept of generated vs circulated loot

2. build time and cost problems have been said multiple times

[rReuven]

ROFL
The idea was to starve the economy, and make people spend more gems this wont cut it for ♥♥♥

[AdLadz]

I agree. I often find bases with 350k+ of gold and elixir, but it is always inside storages of well developed TH9s and TH10s, which I need a big army to attack.

[oneeyeed]

You're building the wrong type of army.

[TheDefianceAlliance]

The train times/regen times are absurd. Absolutely ridiculous, I would support any changes to this.

[Agrippa]

Most definitely agree. Im a barcher that has nearly a maxed TH10. Ive also spent money on the game. Over Christmas I was making an army coming back 150 mins later and attacking. I was getting some major loots but...... and this is the big but. I wasn't chatting to my clan, donating and I've just gone back to barching. Not as boring, in my opinion.

You play the game and chat for longer. As a result I actually got kicked out of the game last night for being too long without a shield. First time since the update arrived. This game is at a crossroads and people in my clan agree. Smaller player numbers and more cash for supercell, by people playing their way. Or, and what I feel is and has been the success of the game. Large scale interaction with family and friends. I say family as my clan has been in existence since August 2013.

Why kill the goose that laid the golden egg
