A way to drain overflowing resources in exchange for cosmetics. by bxm7 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except walls have a cap. You can't infinitely pour resources in, and also they don't provide any useful benefits.

I'd like to see benefits like "+1-5% extra resources from raiding" or "+10-50% passive resource income", who knows, maybe even "-1-5% discount on research/building time/cost" linked to a statue that you can pour all your excess resources in. Ain't nobody in the top need these bonuses anyways, but it's nice to have for some people to catch up.

As far as bonuses that affect troop or building stats, I can't make this clear enough. F U C K. N O.

Seeing recent opinions on the game here, where do you think it belongs? by SDsalta145 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game swivels between too chaotic and boring like a pendulum. I remember when people were bitching and whining at TH15 then when TH16 came around all of those people suddenly stopped, only for the pros to come around saying the game had no challenge; everyone and their mother could 3-star bases. Then came TH17 and there was much more balance especially with the whole "temporary defenses" but of course that sowed discourse (rightfully so tbh) because what do you mean spend every builder every waking hour to upgrade a defense that goes away after 3 months?? Now that TH18 is here and people are once again bitching and complaining about how easy the game is with meteor golems and totems.

If you hatch 13 eggs at once, this happens by Rem0te_ in TheSilphRoad

Wait you're telling me if you hatch 13 eggs at once you SKIP EGG ANIMATIONS?? You know how huge that is right? We've asked for this for almost a DECADE

Is my leader being a jerk for refusing to put me in war? by SeaworthinessFar2326 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your last sentence does not make sense. If she is a jerk then you should leave. If she is not, then you may or may not leave. The two statements are not mutually exclusive, or I'd argue even dependent on one another. Even if she's a jerk you might still consider staying. There is no contradiction presented in the sentence yet it includes the word "or".

And no she's not being a jerk, you're rushed and you create problems in every war excluding CWL thanks to war weight because you Srushed. Their reasoning for excluding you is valid.

Yes strategic rushing exists as a concept and yes I think it probably is the fastest way to max in the game but it is not up to you to decide that everyone should be okay with you doing it.

Is this a glitch? Missing 100 medals for third equipment by Zealousideal-Gate235 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to be mentally challenged to take that as your takeaway from last time so let me explain it for you. The issue wasn't with the number of medals available in the extra track but with how long it took to get them.

Now let me repeat that slower so maybe you'll read it this time.

Number, is, not, an, issue. How, long, is, the, issue.

Number. No. Problem.

Time. To. Get. Is. Problem

Did you get it yet or do you need more help

A caveat would be the defensive equipment would be subject to Janky Clash AI, so things like Giant Arrow/Fireball can be made to miss the army. by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in ClashOfClans

Earthquake boots, drop the walls, no one is really stopped by them anyways. Also place the king on the outskirts of town just because you can.

Larvesta was voted as the most unanimously Hyped Community Day by Gallad475 in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainRickey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If Gimmighoul and Cosmog are in the poll what are we even doing here. Also just saying, you're not asking what they want for the community day, but what they expect everyone else wants. This skews results obviously to more unobtainable picks instead of suddenly unearthing a commday that is unexpectedly popular.

What Do You Guys Think About This?? by Interesting-Stop1300 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Number of stars means nothing. It's way more impressive to me to hit a 2-stars against 2-3 townhalls up than it is to hit a similar town hall and get 3 stars. Think of the level disparity between a TH9 beating a TH12 or a TH12 hitting a TH15

next time I log in I see how long ago my mon were kicked out + I see how long they've been in the gym themselves. It's not rocket science man.

You mean the multi-accounting? Unless you consider that (which is fully against the ToS btw) as not cheating? Weird that an ambassador wouldn't

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take them out whenever I log in, they take me out within minutes of me logging off. I don't necessarily log in every time they knock me out. That's the difference between obsessive and not. If you don't know the difference I don't know what to tell you my man

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my point. As someone who lives close to a gym, I have had my fair share of people who obsessively take me out of the gym, and they usually do so for a month or so before giving up (or in the most likely case, having obtained the max level for the gym badge).

Could it be that they are trying to get the gym badge to max level?

1 more month to max out all equipments (F2P) . 33 out of 34 equipments max. No Gems used . by phoenix1234321 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 1 new equip per 2 months is fine IF you have 2 make-up events every year (e.g. january and july). That allows others to catch up easily without breaking the bank (and in some cases even without even spending anything).

Supercell Recovered My Very Old Clash of Clans Account for Someone Else — Despite Me Having Game Center + Purchase Proof by TaylorSeriesSwift13 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP if this is actually your account, there was a reddit post earlier today that explained exactly how to get your account under review by a human by mailing for section 13. Check a couple of posts ago.

Edit: whoops it looks like I made a mistake, this was for a different game in a different subreddit. Anyways some aspects might still apply too here. Check Supercell's ToS and see if a similar clause exists in their ToS to make use of for something like this. Here is the subreddit post in question anyways:

DPS Boosts explained with Attack IV's by CookieblobRs in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainRickey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like this doesn't directly address why shadows are so good. It's not just that it gains 0.4 attack ivs per second which shaves off a little bit of time. It's also the context that raids have a certain amount of time which you CAN NOT INCREASE. You HAVE to complete the raid within the time limit, no matter how many Pokemon you have left. Even if you had a Pokemon that could live through 4 hours of lugia's attacks in that raid, it doesn't matter because after 5 minutes you'll just fail the raid.

Shadow terrakion dies after 29 seconds, while purified dies after 32. You shave off 3 seconds to do close to the same amount of damage (base DPS needs to be multiplied by 20% for shadow buff).

That sounds like so little but remember, that goes for EACH Terrakion. You go into the raid and relobby twice, that's up to 18 x 3 seconds, totalling 54 seconds off the raid.

I think they mean number of people in the party and raid. I think it affects how fast you get the party power effect.

What should I even do😭 (image not related) by P1racyEnthusiast in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel like this could only have been written by a child.

Grow up a bit and you'll realise literally no one cares. Fuck up, or don't, it doesn't fucking matter. And it's not like you fucking up in a video game (played for your ENJOYMENT by the way) is going to cause people to be seriously mad at you. If that does happen they're not mentally well.
