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

[Yharo]

I already know [Greyed] out stars don't get added...

My 2nd attack is always a cleanup or practice attack on a higher th8 base (usually top 3) despite me being the 2nd lowest th8 in war.

I had 190 stars after my 1st attack last war.
I 3 starred their top th8 as practice and receieved 3 [Grey] Stars.
My war stars were 190 at end if war.

Stars were conserved.

Simply put: Stars are conserved in war and either stay "waiting" to be claimed or get added to a person's acievement.

No duplicates are earned for already claimed star. There's no difference between a 50 pct 2 star and 99 pct 2 star.

End of day, first come first served in war.
Be glad war loot doesnt follow this system.

You (clan) can't earn more than the max star limit in war. If that were the case, its possible for a total of 300 war stars to be credited per clan in every 50 v 50 war instead of the capped 150 stars.

It has always been like that!

3 attacks on the same base:

1st player gets: 1 star: contribution to clan war stars = 1: personal achievement = 1
2nd player gets: 2 star: contribution to clan war stars = 1: personal achievement = 2
3rd player gets: 3 star: contribution to clan war stars = 1: personal achievement = 3

It is good like that as then all 3 players gets additional war stars achievement.

If a base has already been 3 starred, then no more additional stars for the clan nor war stars achievement from subsequent attacks.

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.

Actually you have it backwards. The people that attack first are the suckers. People attack first and get two stars while discovering all the trap locations and what's in the CC. Then the member of the cleanup crew takes that knowledge and builds the perfect army and deployment to 3 star the base. Do that twice and you get 6 stars per war. It is way easier to get 6 stars per war added to your achievement when you are in the cleanup crew than when you are a first attacker.

Most of the people that brag about how many war stars they have also talk about doing cleanup attacks. That is no coincidence.

You only just discovered this?

Could have done better

You don't get credit for any greyed out stars....

Otherwise I'd have like 230+ war stars rather than 190 stars since i 3 star almost every time (initial then cleanup)

He's saying if the base is attacked and 2*, that a subsequent attacker will find it easier to get 3*,& will have all 3* added to his achievement. This is how it works. Of course if it's 3* already, as in your example, no stars are added to the achievement.

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.

a) Pretty sure it's always been this way
b) if you attack a base thats been 2 starred and you 2 star it then YOU haven't actually earned any stars - the first player did - you pretty much wasted an attack, so why should your achievement go up?

What a big ♥♥♥ noob you are?
That is some obvious ♥♥♥♥ right there and u missed it?

[SeahJieHui]
