Star Bonus, Treasury, Loot Cart and more!

Surprise - I have 30 people here who enjoyed pressing next over and over, then deploying an archer queen or half a dozen of archers. Then repeat.

While e.g. watching a movie or some other activity that only occupies half a brain, of course. While chatting with their clan mates. It's supposed to be a leisurely game, not an all-engaging activity. If I want the latter, I can work on my Japanese, train my sword skills or a thousand other more interesting things. I play Clash when I want to relax.

While the changes took some getting used to, I think they are good for the game. PBT was broken out of the box but they fixed it. As for TH sniping, good riddance. I get attacked now! My defenses that I spent so much time upgrading actually have a purpose. Looking forward to see what they do with loot as that seems to be the only issue left.

Did... did he just drag himself. You used th sniping, but was upset because your defenses had nothing to do? Why not just put your th in pre-update?
Not saying that I want th sniping, yes it was an exploit and im happy its gone the real problem is the loot system. 70% is a little too much for 100% loot. Bring that ish down to 50%

What a complicated, convoluted way to "improve" the economy you ruined, Supercell.

So how much is the Star Bonus? I'm guessing not much since this is the company that gave us "significant" league bonus increases in the December update (which ended up being a slap in the face).

What is convoluted about a daily reward and you receiving a portion of what you lose?...its something you dont have to worry about , it just happens without you paying any attention to it... It doesnt complicate things for you or anyone... Its the same as always, you attack you get some, you get attacked you lose some... But now you lose less while the attacker earns more... Nothing weird about this.

I agree there seems to be too much getting added, but I'm at least hopeful about the new system. I've been a vocal opponent of the big TH11/Shield/Snipe/Guard/PBT update and the announcement appears to address some of those problems. There was clearly more reasoning behind those Christmas changes than just "it's how we wanted the game played". I suspect things were accelerating toward a future problem that we hadn't yet felt - at least I hope that's the case and it wasn't just out of ignorance of how many people play the game and why. This update addresses problems that lots of players are feeling now, so I hope it works.

I'm very happy that SC is addressing the issues we have, but why does this feel like a box that's been taped over and over again?

I love the idea of a daily quest. 5 stars doesn't seem like much of a quest, but ok. It's something.

A loot cart just seems kind of silly. I'd love to be able to just defend. Is there a way to do that? We need an influx of new resources into the economy, but having it tied to a failure to defend feels more like a welfare system.

The Treasury is something that I really like. Still need more information about it though.

How would this address anything? What can a player do while they are waiting for an army to train? Before the update you could snipe while your army was training. What can you do today?

You wait or you boost. This is a freemium game. It is a model that is somewhat built on frustrating you into spending. You're not supposed to have anything to do. If you want to continuously raid for the purpose of getting resources or cups then use gems. If you're telling me you did it because you found th snipes interesting then you will most likely find banging your head on the wall equally compelling, since it would mean you enjoy punishing yourself.

Imma th10 barching at champion. At lower leqgues you can gibarch or giwi th9s...you could also use ballonions....or 2 golems while producing something that takes 45 minutes y normal barracks...maybe nit a small army but not a huge ear army neither...plenty options for armies than dont take long.

29% means either your base layout or league position are inappropiate.... Probably the layout is the problem.

Some good advise but what I have seen on me which is happening more and more is that people are stopping attacks at 29% You can't bury all your resource collectors in the center... No doubt some bases are better than others.

There's a difference: New troops, clan wars, clan perks, league bonuses, etc are actually fun (or they were fun at some point, at least).

Idk about you but the loot cart, daily star bonus, and treasury all seem fun to me.

I guess this is what Clash has been reduced to. I noticed a shift in the forums. It's like the IQ of the forums dropped 20 points in the last few days. I guess I understand who this game caters to now.

Well, if they revert the shield system, then we can no longer attack through shields. That means the shield pops every attack, so unless you have the time to sit there and babysit your village until your troops build, you're only getting one attack for every defense. This means, as a casual player, you pretty much have no choice but to put your TH outside and pray for a quick shield in order to have any hope of advancement (and even then, as a TH8 you're as likely to get steamrolled anyway). If they revert the changes, we'll be right back to only two attacks a day, to which I say, "No, thank you!" XP

Weird. I attacked 20 times a day in only 2 hours and I got a shield 39 out of 40 incoming attacks. Must have been incredibly lucky the broken TH outside system worked so well just for me.
