Star Bonus, Treasury, Loot Cart and more!

Game is really not that complicated and adding a few simple loot features doesn't change that.

Agreed. It's not a difficult thing to understand.

Cool finally something is being done, can't wait to see how it plays out!

This game isn't remotely complex to me. However I can see it being an issue.

I can see it being an issue because for what the game is, it is more complex than some similar games of this type. Which can be a bad thing for certain audiences that don't enjoy that much depth.

Thats the danger of game design. Trying to appease the masses, and when you add more you just end up overwhelming people. There ARE ways to combat this by adding a little at a time.

However, the changes such as a treasury, loot cart, and a 5 star bonus isn't what I'd call complex because it's hardly a new game mechanic.

Not doing a full post.




But I am finding loads of loot in Champs I. Warden has been happily drink all my purple stuff.

Surely not making as much progress as before is an issue?

An issue? Maybe an inconvenience. I liked the game more pre update than I do post, but seems like SC has made it clear it's not reverting. So basically just rolling with the punches. I feel pretty good with the progress I've made for how expensive th10 upgrades are. And my clan(real life friends and family) are in good spirits, so it's game on as usual. Though just cause I'm happy, doesn't mean it's working for everyone. Who knows, maybe these tweaks will help. We'll just have to wait and see.

something will still need to be done about 1.5 hour armies and the social aspect of the game. When making armies that take that long folks log off and we lose all social aspects in clan. This needs some sort of attention.

I assume that when this tweak comes out they will remove the 1 gem boost and dead bases again. The dead bases while easy still allow us to use cheaper faster armies. This needs to stay around is some fashion. While dead bases should maybe not be the bread and butter of resource acquisition, there has to be something where you can still attack and gain loot and move forward, especially elixir.

[TheJudgedClan]

Before the changes, 90% of the bases had their town hall inside anyway and if it was outside you still had the option to attack the base and steal the loot.

That's not even close to being truthful.

Really...Nintendo, Sega, Playstation? They quit developing the games for those systems and forced people to purchase new gaming systems in order to buy the new content offered. They never changed the mechanics or core concepts of the games played on those consoles. Games can survive without changes over time. There are plenty of older generation console/computer/board games on the market that have the same core concepts/mechanics since they came onto the market years/decades ago. Those games still have a demand and are produced.

And I am mad that I spent all of that money and then they stopped developing for it. I want a refund adjusted for inflation.
Games can survive without changes over time? What world do you live in? Prior to online gaming, games had a very short shelf life. I played Mario, I beat Mario, then I only came back for nostalgia. Developers have to continue to work on games as long as they want it to survive. If SC had stopped with TH8 then this game and forum would be gone.

And then this... please explain how having more people searching for the targets means that you (as a hypothetical Legend league player) would have more things to attack?
If you double the number of people in Legends league, then there will, on average, be twice as many of them going on defence each hour. But there's also twice as many people sitting in clouds waiting for something to happen. Result: twice as many targets divided amongst twice as many people exactly the same number of targets per hour for each player. Exactly the same time clouding. Double the size of a pie and double the number of slices and each slice is the same size. It's not rocket science.

The only thing that affects clouds is the average amount of time each player spends searching per defence that they suffer. It went from 6 hours per defence (the old PBT) to 6 hours (4 hours + 2 hours extension) plus several hours searching under shield before the PBT starts counting. I've no idea what the average is, but it could well be 10 hours or so now. The obvious result: less targets, longer clouds.

What's scary is that from the little SC have said, and the mere fact they introduced a feature that would so obviously make the clouds much worse, it seems like they maybe don't understand it.

Are there clouds in Bronze-Master? No. Why? Because there are a lot of people there. What happens when you start to hit 3400 cups? You start seeing the same 50-60 bases while searching. That means there were only that many bases not online or under a shield. The higher you get the less people and thus more clouds. It's not rocket science.

The simplicity and variety is what made Clash of Clans the sensation of mobile gaming. The popularity of the game occurred, even though it had been played incorrectly, by a great many of the SuperCell customers.

Rather than embrace the simplicity which afforded variety, they're pushing complexity and a singular preferred meta.

I just don't get it. And, because the game was a hit while being played in a manner unanticipated, I don't think SuperCell gets it, either.

This post needs to be stickied for the devs /management to read. Well said deadpool 👍

These changes don't address anything... don't know why people are excited. It's a bunch of shiny looking new stuff that doesn't actually do anything.

It's pretty easy SC:
Add a defensive bonus
Increase win bonus by 50%
Allow dead bases to be put in the normal rotation of nexting

Done. Is it shiny and new? Nope, but it fixes your actual problems.
