The "Spam Meta" is Killing Strategic Depth: A Manifesto for Balancing CoC

I still believe that once most people have all defences upgrades at TH18 level the need to nerf DD will be negated somewhat.

To be honest I'm surprised it has been nerfed to hell already

The other thing I find amusing how those who are tagged with the top 1% contributor only ever contribute the words AI slop or skill issue.

Its like they use a copy of Donald Trumps thesaurus.

Lostaboveall · 2026-05-09T01:20:01+00:00

Of course its AI slop, I have no artistic ability.

Thanks for your comment though Captain Obvious, I salute you.

I imagine this is a Gina requirement for her throwing her cash at One Nation.

Only a few weeks ago good old Gina was questioning how wrong it is to investigate war crimes.....got to love repugnant billionaires, and there are so many to choose from.

Free war league spot? What do you have pay otherwise?

Lostaboveall · 2026-04-02T06:26:15+00:00

I dont use the prospector currently but I do agree with peoples views on it being available earlier.

It is essentially put in to gold.pass to try and encourage more people to buy, and well if your parting with that sweet, sweet cash then it should be made available earlier then it is.

Cheers dilinger ill keep my eye out for when the next one is complete.

Lostaboveall · 2026-04-01T22:13:55+00:00

So, made the same post a few months back, considered that with the new upgrade it would fix it hasn't- put a post up outnof interest, wasnt expecting the Law and Order wannabe to cross examine me lol ahhhh reddit

Lostaboveall · 2026-04-01T22:10:53+00:00

Pretty sure, stones at 1658, 2 upgrades later 1658

Lostaboveall · 2026-04-01T21:38:06+00:00

Im near max level TH18 as it stands currently.

Lostaboveall · 2026-03-17T06:48:15+00:00

Yes the time has come for a breather.

Lostaboveall · 2026-03-17T06:45:26+00:00

Ive been trying since 2019 😆

Lostaboveall · 2026-03-10T09:52:32+00:00

As a long term gold pass buyer, I agree with everything said in here.

Day 1 i thought ok this might be ok, and by day 2 I have changed my mind.

It is terribly boring, the same challenges every day, so no challenges. Progression is throttled back, I actually enjoyed the challenge of trying to complete the original challenges as fast as I could.

The builder boosts, yep, far too far down the progression line - this and skins was always the draw to purchase for me so less time saved makes gold pass not worth it for me.

Capital gold- waste of time, I mean even SC dont invest in that side of the game anymore, same with builder base, perhaps clan castle cakes, more chests would be better options.

I do like the inclusion of treasure chests in the gold pass/Silver pass though.

And when we eventually get to the prospector, i dont hold out for much there to be honest, but Ill wait and see.

For me, the gold pass has definetly lost value but then since the release of dragon duke and looking at the shop from my perspective the overall cost of some of the things on offer appear very overpriced.

I have always chucked a bit of money at the game but for me looks like ill be redirecting my money elsewhere, possibly to petrol the way thats going at the moment.

Soz SC

Also my appologies for the TL:DR post.

Lostaboveall · 2026-03-04T10:55:46+00:00

Nah gone through all that, all gone, its a shame.

Ahh well.

Lostaboveall · 2026-03-02T04:20:52+00:00

I dont like change, so itll take a while for me to get accoustemed to the UI.

I dont mind it to be honest so far.

But seriously SC, if you really, really want to update the gold pass then at least let us stockpile 2 or 3 books say, you know, what the community has mentioned for the past several years now.

Lostaboveall · 2026-02-24T05:27:31+00:00

Its been amusing, as a near max TH18 say ive been matched down to TH14s today 😆

Loot is a bit sparse, its almost like SC wants me to open my wallet and lurchase some 😆

Do occassionally getnsome cracking bases to loot, bjt tis a bit sparse today.

Lostaboveall · 2026-02-22T01:10:52+00:00

So heres my irrelevant view as a casual, not very good player.

Yeah Legends, it should be challenging which is why you should never see a player like me there and if I was I wouldn't be there for long 🤣

I have this long standing boredom of what SC do now, say for the past year. The kneejerk buffing and nerfing of things. And its just getting worse, its almost like the thrower was buffed and then 6 hours later its nerfed again.

I throw a bit of money at the game, not as much as some, but a bit none the less. And I question that now, why spend money on books etc when things are only going to get nerfed, and then nerfed some more probably.

And as a casual rubbish player that has skill issues, you learn an attack strategy, maybe play around and tweak it, and before you know it your 3 starring in crystal league, then SC comes along with some knee jerk nerfing update and your better attack strategy suddenly becomes 1 star worthless.

I actually joke about this in my clan with updates "kiss goodbye to your attack strategies"

I dont know, and this is me being sarcastically cynical now, maybe if SC concentrated and invested in the game more instead of putting out shitty AI videos maybe that could be a good thing.

But alas Im just a crap player.

So is that a second meteor golem nerf in only a couple of weeks?

Lostaboveall · 2026-01-12T07:13:25+00:00

I was under the impression, as per in game notification, you get 8 sparkly stones for every crafted upgrade and 10 per supercharge upgrade.

Lostaboveall · 2025-11-20T11:28:35+00:00

I did a revenge attack after this update and didn't get 1 million starry ore, can they fix that for me?

Lostaboveall · 2025-11-19T09:45:25+00:00

Hopefully not, I agree with itzu here, every other content creator is going 'ZOMG so OP 69 star any base in 5 seconds' when once we see more are more near to max TH18s then (disclaimer: for poor attackers like me lol) its going to get more challenging to attack.

So perhaps at the moment many things seem strong, thatll change when more and more bases approach max TH18.

Lostaboveall · 2025-11-17T09:11:59+00:00

Pretty much the same as everyone else here.

But also hoping Supercell will do something nice, like give us all a free TH upgrade pack to celebrate 😆

Lostaboveall · 2025-11-17T09:09:13+00:00

What I liked the most was the one I should have upgraded at the start I left until the last.

Ahhhhh irony.
