Star Bonus, Treasury, Loot Cart and more!

[delkil]

You guys screwed up a great game by adding a bunch of convoluted stuff that even YouTube fanboys can't explain -- Shields, PBT -- in order to solve problems that didn't exist. Every time I do a search, one third ofthe people aren't in a league. Why? They quit!

Now, you are adding even more strange items to the game such as The Treasury and the Loot Cart. It just makes it more confusing.

Why not just admit you made a mistake and revert back to what was GREAT?? We'll forgive and forget.

If you guys at ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are bored here is a task for you: Figure out how to keep people from running mods in wars.

And in the future, there is a saying we have in the States worth considering: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Hello Clashers,

As mentioned in our latest posts, we’re currently working on an update that we intend to roll out as soon as possible. In the meantime here is a preview of what’s coming:

Introducing the new Star Bonus! Win five stars in Multiplayer attacks in order to win a daily resource bonus!

Housed in your Clan Castle, the Treasury is the safest place to store resources. Your daily Star Bonus and War Loot Bonus are automatically stored in the Treasury for safeguarding and only a very small percentage can be stolen.

Last but not least, we’ll introduce the Loot Cart. After your village has been attacked, a percentage of the stolen resources will be added to a Loot Cart in your Village. Once you collect the resources from the Loot Cart, these will be transferred to your Treasury for safeguarding.

Besides these new features, the update will also include a few bug fixes and battle balancing tweaks.

We’ll provide more details soon, stay tuned, and let us know what you think!

1. So you are a SC employee and know exactly how the star bonus & loot cart work? Sweet, please give us a full run down.

Huh?

Where on earth do you get that from?

I have said nothing that isn't pretty obvious from Anoushkas posts.

2. Reducing the amount lost is a good thing, but as I have stated before, a more complicated fix to fix the huge problems that they have created already by making a complex system just so the game was "as intended", regardless of what made it so successful in the first place, is just insane. That in itself is a massive mistake in my opinion.

Possibly.

Let's wait and see how it works in practice. I don't think it will add significant complexity from the players point of view, but we can't be sure until we see the actual implementation.

Why throw out something saying "if everybody had your mindset"?

Because it would only be a major issue of most people were determined to find ways to attack without giving a shield - which appeared from the paragraph that was responding to there to be your mindset.

Of course it is working for some, but it has so many flaws that it is definitely NOT WORKING FOR MOST.

I don't believe that, although neither of us is ever likely to know the effects on "most".

We can see that a number of the complaints are about the shield system - though not that many really, compared to complaints about other parts of it.

But even if half the posts on the frum were complaining about it, that would say very little about how "most" are experiencing it.

..just have a read through a few threads, but as we both know, you are more than up to date with the general feelings on this and most of the concerns, why would you bother commenting based only on your own experiences?

Correct, I wouldn't.

You obviously do not care about how others are finding COC since the TH11 update.

Any reason for that nasty little lie?

If you are doing great, good for you, but most are not.

So when did you carry out the poll of "most"?

As has been pointed out a number of times, posts on a support type forum are not remotely representative.

Yes, loot has been a little better of late, but the other aspects are down massively.

Other huge issues that are keeping people, including myself away are the social aspect of COC going downhill because a lot are actually training the bigger armies SC wanted (that means a lot less time online because not many sit and chat for 2 hours while they wait to raid).

I know. I don't understand why though.

They really aren't necessary.

The other big hit is clan wars. A lot of people do not see the point to war with their 'war troops' when they are using them for every single raid anyway...the fun of running those troops once or twice a week is gone.

I hadn't thought of that possibility.

Seriously, what are you seeing on here? Some of your posts are really good, but these ones seem more like troll posts. Can you not separate your own selfish gameplay from what is obviously the majority on here?

I am not having loot issues at all, but I know and understand it seems to be an issue for most...I've been standing up for them.

Most of the posts since the 1 gem boost seem to suggest not many are having issue right now.

But I fully realise that is only because of the 1 gem boost.

I was one of the first people saying even before the update landed, that it would inevitably lead to a loot drought.

This latest change should hopefully alleviate a lot of that, so long as the amounts are genuinely significant.

Which again, we don't yet know.

When a company drops an update that is so universally hated by the players (and is mocked by gaming sites all over the world), surely some of those people have a valid point?

Many have valid points.

I have never suggested there are no issues with the December update.

The PBT was initially too restrictive. They changed that pretty quickly, and since then the main complaints about that have been from people who are encountering bugs with it.

Loot was always going to be a major issue. At the moment, they have a flimsy sticking plaster in place. I just hope this update will provide a better improvement.

EDIT: OMFG...I just noticed you are not even TH10....when you get there, try getting the loot plus the 70% for your massive league bonus increase....just wow!

I have no intention of going to TH10 until the loot issues are fixed. It is a;lways hardest at a new TH, and any loot issues will seriously exacerbate that.

Though one of my clanmates has gone to TH10 since the update and is doing better than I would have expected.

Firstly, if you comment on my post, please have something to say....and I have addressed many issues too, as you know very well .

True.

When I responded above I was in a hurry, and didn't really have the time (or TBH the inclination) to repeat what I had posted several times just before, that is why I said look at my other posts, rather than repeating it again.

I have responded to your previous post more properly.

But my question still stands. Why do you believe the announced updates won'#t address any of the issues?

[Ajax]

So you expect me to search through your profile and all your posts?

If you can't be bothered actually responding with a proper reply to a post I made to somebody else, what does that say about you?

Why make multiple posts on the same subject? You aren't saying anything different to your previous response to me here.

I have responded to your belated reply.....I'm still waiting for yours .

Perhaps you need to be given some sort of clue about how forums work.

You can't expect immediate replies to anything. Most people aren't sat on the forum all day every day (I am often on more than most, depending on the demands on me in work, but still frequently have periods of several hours without being on).

Any reply that is made the same day can hardly be described as "belated".

[Ajax]

Does anyone know when the update is coming out?

Outside of Supercell?

Nope.

I'm not sure even Supercell know.

[Ajax]

What problems are you saying they have heard...the dead clan problems? The people quitting problems? The fact people are less active now? Less people tagging in wars?

By far the most common complaints since the update have been about the availability and retention of loot.

Those are the problems they are trying to address with this update.

[Ajax]

WRONG - many players make a game of it. How much of this poor chaps resources can I steal and then bail when I hit 29% so the next attacker can take from him again.

I don't think it is a high proportion, except in the low leagues.

[Ajax]

I saw it all coming after the sneak peeks (you can check my older posts...all the non-♥♥♥ fanboys warned them).

Do you realise how much use of that word damages your credibility?

It indicates you can't accept that people can rationally have different points of view

I even told a few of our TH9's not to go to TH10 until after the update. One actually cancelled the upgrade after he saw what they did...they are now farming walls at TH9 because of this situation.

And even though you probably think of me as one of those "fanboys", I was also saying exactly the same thing - from the first sneak peeks.

Suggestion: Any loot which will not fit into the Clan Castle Treasury should be added to the regular storages and so not lost (unless they are full also).

[Obeee]

SC should be super careful with what they are trying to do cause if the people that havent stopped playing already wont stop too! The one stars has gone over 300,000 in one month! It took 3 and a half years to have 700,000 one stars! NOT LOOKING SO GOOD
