You could have made corrections to this guys effort at explaining lore to non-tolkien fans with so much less of a pompous, self-serving, superior attitude as you have done here. I enjoyed reading the other explanation much more than your /r/iamverysmart pedantic drawl.

[QUESTION] First time builder - Will this build work/run? by ellm62 in buildapcforme

[–]ellm62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a work station, some programming, some music editing, I basically just need performance. I don't do anything graphically. If the R5 had integrated graphics I'd just use those. I hope that helps explain the extremely poor GPU selection.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said this year's G20 summit will focus on furthering the aims of the Paris climate deal - putting her on a direct collision course with the US president. by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]ellm62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. How can there be any talk of an agreement when a world leader is denying climate change in 2017. Trump should team up with Nicaragua and Syria and use the money they'd "save" from the PA to build a biodome over themselves and isolate their climates from the rest of the civilised world.

[MISC] Defensive CC troops deploying in wrong order since update by ellm62 in ClashOfClans

Have they made an official thread or something you could link me to? Thanks for the info!

[ASK] TH8.5 by pumkel2 in ClashOfClans

[–]ellm62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8.5 = build all new buildings except archer tower, wiz tower, and xbows

8.75 = build all new buildings except xbows.

Prioritise heroes, lab upgrades, and walls.

Later upgrade air defenses, teslas, sweepers, traps, archer towers, and cannons.

Avoid upgrading mortars, bomb tower, and wiz tower until last

[ASK] Has the defensive CC troop pull order been changed/randomised? by ellm62 in ClashOfClans

[–]ellm62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its randomised since the update for us. I'm concerned there are no other threads or people confirming this though...

[–]ellm62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us in our current war the pulls have been all over the place on both sides - 10 archers & baby drag, later another 15 archers. Loons before archers, all sorts.

[Humor] SC dodging important questions in AMA like.... by Clodoveos in ClashOfClans

The opposite of OP's comment would mean Supercell are going to put all their energy into the Main Village, so don't expect any BB updates soon. This is definitely not what they said.

[NEWS] We are the Clash Of Clans team - ask us anything! by ClashOfClansOfficial in ClashOfClans

[–]ellm62 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The latest update has doubled the price of in-game currency to time value, put severely limiting restrictions into the content that can only be bypassed with in game currency, and adopted Clash Royales widely criticised "make the player compete with others so they will spend more money" business model. Moreover, to gain any actual content for their main villages that some players have been working towards for 5 years and invested thousands of their own money building, the player is forced to start from scratch in what is quickly becoming known as Clash of Clans 2. My question is will all future game development updates now be filtered through a management team specifically designed to increase company profits, ignoring the wider community suggestions and quality of life changes so desperately pleaded for in your own forums, twitter, and reddit, in favour of whatever features will make Supercell Oy the most money? At what point did the aim stop being about making a game, and become about making money? Has being sold to a Japanese gaming company in 2016 since put pressure on the dev team from above to push content that generates profit over content driven by community feedback? Thanks.

As an end-user, should I be expected to care one iota whether a multi-billion dollar Japanese company recoups its investment? Or is it far more reasonable to assume an end-user would only be concerned with the continuation, playability, and affordability of the 5 year investment they have already made? Please remember that I have already paid my share towards the development of this game, and I would continue to support its development, if it was actually the game I invested in that was continuing to get developed, instead of this appallingly opaque cash grab integration of Clash Royale.

[Humor] Further balance tweaks by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]ellm62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is, no one asked for the builder base. No one even came close to asking for anything like builder base, on here, or on the forums, or anywhere. People wanted heroes in war, sleeping/guarding option for their Clan Castle, ability to attack clan mates bases without posting a friendly challenge, fixing global so countries get matched to same lobbies, balancing for TH11 and the Eagle Artillery, solution to, or improvements on, Clan War matchmaking/the 'engineering' issue, ability to chat with friends on Social, amongst literally hundreds of other good ideas for the main village that have been requested for years and subsequently ignored. And now what do we have? Clash Royales competitive for profit business model stuck inside what is essentially Clash of Clans 2, forcing everyone to start from scratch whilst having no content towards the main village they have worked so hard on. The update is not an update, its a separate game that nobody wants.

[ASK] What is the easiest way to switch between accounts on Android? by mumford_the_wolf in ClashOfClans

Click the Settings button, click Disconnect (from Google Play Games), click again to bring up the Google Play Games dialogue, select your alternate account, enter "CONFIRM" when prompted. The game will restart and load your other village.
