SC is ♥♥♥♥♥ing us on war stars now??? What is going on here???

[kdrakakis]

Have you been trying to get the war hero achievement and not being able to do so? Because no matter how hard you try the 1000 stars are always a bit further away? Perhaps a bit TOO far away? Well, worry not, there is an explanation: not all stars you win in wars are counted, apparently, as I only recently discovered.

Yes, you heard me correctly. For a long time now I could not understand why I appeared to make slower progress in war stars than I expected. So, I decided to start noting the number of stars in my achievement before each war attack. Here is what I noted:
a) If I go to a clean base and I win some stars, stars get counted appropriately.
b) If I go to a base with some stars and I get more stars, then ALL of my stars are counted... so the achievement is not counting new stars.
c) If I go to a base with some stars and fail to get more stars (so, say, the base has been 2 starred before and I also get 2 stars), then NO STARS ARE COUNTED!!! Yes, you heard me correctly.

So, to all of you out there who have patiently been waiting to attack late and cleanup after you team mates... stop doing this! Attack early and hit two clean bases, so that your stars get counted for sure. Let your team mates be the suckers who attack for nothing.

Was this always like that, dear SC? Or is this yet another "brilliant" idea of yours silently introduced in the new update? Just for the record, this policy is TOTALLY UNFAIR AND IT SUCKS BIG TIME.

It's just an achievement, not that important tbh but its about progress is not like they will make it that easy for you to achieve..

[gristy]

You only just discovered this?

[NogoodnamesAvailable]

It is important. You get a good amount of gems when that achievement is finished

This just in: The sky...is blue

Same as it ever was...

It has been like this since day 1. I assumed it was common knowledge.

Been like that for a long time now

If you look on the summary page for your clan you'll see the war stars that you'll get. You only get credited for NEW stars in a war.

Yes, by all mean, put your own war stars above the interests of the clan. Attack up if you have to, but by all means, take care of yourself first.
