Clash Royale |OT| Should I keep playing when Im full on chests?
- Thread starter commish
- Start date
Sure let's make the game even more monotonous
I'm just saying - if you can't beat em, join em. Level the playing field
Nah. Don't agree with that, "The only reason I'm buying a gun is because he has a gun", thinking.
The last month of Clash Royale (before this weeks balance update) has been the worst month in the year the game has been out. Simply cos of Elite Barbarians. Seeing match after match of people using one specific overpowered card again and again isn't fun. Picking it and using it too isn't fun or skilful.
cant beat em join em suggestion only meant as a stop-gap til next balancing as opposed to quitting the game entirely. Development is ongoing with games like this so i was just surprised to see so many people say they're quitting because they weren't happy with the nerf on EBs. Seems extreme when the issue is obviously going to be monitored with analytics and addressed in future updates.
Wasnt meant to be antagonistic or flippant. genuine call to stick it out.
as an aside, it's not that I disagree that they're too powerful, they are - but there'll always be the possibility that new cards introduce imbalances - part and parcel to on the fly tuning.
If you cant beat em, join em (for the time being).
Gun analogy was a bit extreme dude
I don't fully agree about that last part. Just randomly tossing EB out there without suitable back up is begging to give the opponent (up to) 4 elixir advantage.
EB doesn't (or at least didn't) have enough strong counters but it's never been the brainless auto win it seems to be painted as.
Exactly the same, I dropped CoC almost year ago, no regrets (was almost fully maxed out TH9).

I left the clan and uninstalled the game; I wish there were some way to donate all my cards before leaving a clan. I just didn't really have anywhere near the enjoyment from the game that I felt I needed given the time investment.
Thanks to the folks here who helped during the early stages!

One of my biggest complaints is how long it takes for new cards to actually come into play. Even if you buy the "special deal" for a new card in the shop, you're still going to be left with an underlevelled card you can't use for weeks or months.

You're missing my point. It's not a matter of skills as those of who sucked (in your description) have higher trophy counts using lesser level cards.
The point is leaving no space for people to look forward to beyond a certain point.
Leveling up a common card to 12 costs 50,000 golds, which is a lot for F2P players. Sure, there will be exceptions to this and some will still excel. But the amount of exceptions gets much smaller.
I'm not criticizing the game as I like it still, but raising a point before supercell misses the timing to address it.
The game thrives when it's mainstream where even not the best players can have fun.
They kinda ruined the game for me at this point, but I was not really a hardcore player to begin with.
8/10 decks I play will have EB and skeletal army and the highest success rate for me to counter that is to have the same thing. Very boring
I admit that I hate fighting EB, and I will also admit that I think they require less skill to use well that other cards, thus adding to their "cheapness". But by now I think most people account for them in their decks and they are not THAT hard to stop, provided you don't overextend your elixir (they are the most punishing card in the game BY FAR).
On another note, I wish SC would refund challenge costs if you reach 12 wins. Isn't that what Hearthstone did, iirc?
Finally, I'm still not really feeling the new card. I don't know what deck he would be good in. His cost is just so high, and he's easily shut down by a lot of cards. I've seen people use him to support giants/RGs but I can't help but think that some other card would be more useful.

I have tested him out in my golem deck instead of muskateer, it's not bad since he takes out minions/horde much faster. He may stay in the deck once I get him properly leveled.
Though my deck is harder to use in this fast pace goblin barrel meta.

Executioner is kinda like a Bowler that can target aerial but is worse against ground due to lack of knockback.
Seems like a decent card once I get it to Lv5. My Musketeer's sitting at Lv9 and will be there for a long time.

my ICE G will be lvl 7 soon...is it rly better than ice Spirit?
any suggestions for switching skelly army...long term ill used a common in that spot or a rare...
Ever since the last ios update (I think) this game has been putting a little notification style bar on the bottom of my screen telling me good morning whenever I'm tabbing thru my open apps in the morning. What the hell is this? I'm about to uninstall this over it.
GAF (#QYYQCQ) has 3 open spots. Let me know if anyone wants to join. Just reply to this or PM me and we will open it up.
Doesn't matter how many trophies you have, only reason we have it closed now is so we don't get spammed with clan invite requests.
Hearthstone does this, but only because there's two way to enter arena there, real money, or in game currency. If you reach 7 wins or more, you get back the in-game currency (150 gold) you spent on the entry as well as a card pack and maybe some other rewards.
To do this, supercell would need to allow you to pay either gold or gems for challenges.

If you are playing at those trophy levels with those cards, then know you are punching way above your weight. I enjoy the challenge of battling higher leveled players, as long as they aren't being dicks about it.
Concentrate on leveling one card at a time, and you should find that you ratchet up your trophy count slightly with each upgrade.
I found the cards that gave me the most impact when I was in a similar situation were my direct damage cards like fireball and arrows which allowed me to one shot troops of higher levels more easily. From there I moved to my tanks, giant and miner, which gave me a little more breathing room before moving onto my other cards.
Yup, gg wp!

Reached 4k this morning...
and im gone from this game.
Thanks all
and im gone from this game.
Thanks all
So, I'd be looking to join one of the Neogaf clans if possible, after this clan chest is done. It has become quite clear to me that my current clan is bunch of little kids, so as a 32 year old that makes me bit uncomfortable. Especially following the discussions there. What are the requirements for joining? How much trophies do I need and what I need to do to be considered active? Im playing very regularly at the moment though, since I'm pretty new to the game still. Started after christmas and currently staying around 2200 trophies.

Yeah, given up on hound for now, they also bunch up and do no dmg at all. Also damages the baloon you put up behind the hound. You can still win ofc but it's an uphill battle.As a LavaHound player, Executioner is scary af.
When the dude pops the Hound, the pups automatically lose half of their life.
You can join our clan GAF. No trophy requirements. All you need to do is donate at least once a week.
All right thanks! I'll join after the current clan chest is done and if there's room in the clan then.
I'm running an Inferno Dragon behind my hound so I'm less impacted but it completely shuts down the hound even if I can get my miner to whack him.
I had a disappointing season ending. I had a new personal best of 4977 and was one win away from 5000. Then I went on a losing tilt to around 4600 which was frustrating. Ended up around 4800. Going to try again for the 5000 mark this season.
I know most players don't enjoy season reset but I do as it's a time to mess around with new decks and not have to be super try-hard mode. I've been messing around with a fun little deck this morning that has had some good success.
Goblins / Ice Golem / Tornado / Electro Wizard / Fireball / Hog Rider/ Musketeer / Executioner; Average Elixir: 3.5
It is a little bit of a top heavy deck, but all of the cards go really well together. Tornado/Ice Golem help distract for the Executioner/Electro Wizard/Musketeer to clean up. Hog Rider/Fireball are your primary damage dealers. However, if you can get any of the other cards to the tower it's solid damage dealt. It's been successful against many deck types. The only one I haven't come across yet is a Lava Hound deck, but it should do well against it.

The range and mini stun are a bit much. It did have a bigger impact than I originally thought but an executioner behind a tank is like having OG MM behind it. Very hard to remove by conventional spells, you need a second unit to distract it and then somehow deal with a big mass of HP hitting on your tower. At least I'm seeing a lot less of bait decks now.
Typically, I'd wait until the glass cannon locks on to tower and drop something to deal with it then, but Executioner's attack still damages units placed adjacent to it
it's a nightmare to deal with
I normally run a rocket in my deck so I guess I don't have to always deal with him straight up. And I usually also run EW, so I tend to drop the EW on the exec's head and deal with him like that. Will have to try him more in my deck. Wish I had him at tournament levels.

Elite Barbs need a health nerf

Still need more
I think health wise they are okay now.
I can mostly deal with them ok. If I was to nerf anything more it would be attack speed and/or attack damage. They are ridiculous if they make it too your tower and are caught short, more punishing than any other card in the game by far.

They need to sort out Graveyard to make it more consistent.
I've had Graveyard placed on the same spot across matches and I always used Guards. The results vary from my tower taking a thousand HP or maybe 2 hits.

Executioner is not really that OP, but if you rely on skarmy and horde then you gonna suffer and have to adjust your deck. He is a pita to deal with though, which is why i joined team exec.
Ah I see, hound was never my main but lavaloon was pretty good since the buff. Now not so much.
It's just occurred to me, I'm coming up to 6 months being at King Level 10. I turned Level 10 in August last year.
Also, while I was still Level 9 I got to Legendary Arena, also August last year before I turned Level 10. In almost 6 months I've managed to go from 3000 trophies to 4300 trophies.
That is quite a slow progress but it shows you at how that grind comes once you hit Legendary.

So now that the clan chest is done, I'd be willing to join in a clan with Gaffers.
How do I find this? All clans named GAF I found were just clans with one person.
Edit: Scrap that, found it. Can't request a join though.

Try again. I just opened the clan up. We keep it closed otherwise we get requests to join every 5 mins.
In your request mention that you're from Neogaf so we know it's you.
Thanks! Just did that.
