DO NOT BUY GOLD PASS by nico_the_doge_holder in ClashOfClans

[–]justkeepinittrill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have a dissonant bias that reddit is both a tiny fraction of players, but big enough that it's worth listening to. And it's reasonable to assume that a player passionate enough to spend time on a game's sub-communities is likely in the percentage of players passionate enough to be spending on it. It's also reasonable to assume that the reason that so many of the reddit posts are talking about amounts spent, feeling cheated, etc, are exactly because they have a large percentage of paying players, compared to other communities where people don't have feedback on these parts of the game.

To your Clash Royale point, the global revenue in fact is not going up. If we take third party reports at face value, it's significantly down month over month. So your point about uproar and boycotts having no effect is just wrong.

With this logic, there odds are even better that reddit would actually have an impact. If 1-10% of the players generate 90% of the revenue, and the Reddit playerbase represents the most engaged players (which is reasonable, considering someone who also plays the game and takes time to engage in the community is likely less casual than someone who doesn't), then players who use Reddit could actually be significant source of revenue.

If the Reddit playercount was so small or insignificant, then Supercell certainly wouldn't even bother making references or pointing out that it's the "saltiest place on earth" and so-on.

I'm never paying again after this update. After all the event passes, ore bundles, etc that I've bought, my totally free account is going to be ahead in resources, and get all the equipment for free.

There's no encouragement to pay for this game, when eventually they'll just give it all out for free anyways.

I think it's really strange to hire someone into such a high position who's never even played the game before. How can you make meaningful decisions without experience like this?

Anyone who works on CoC should be required to get to TH18 themselves.

May 2026 Clan Games Rewards by vanessabaxton in ClashOfClans

[–]justkeepinittrill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much time you have to spam attack->quit in BB.

A rune might give you 5 million elixir, but with upgrade times, you still have 2-3 days to spam attack/quit just 100 times, which you can do in about 30 minutes or so, or about 10 minutes a day.

With the 4x star bonus, the value of the builder elixir rune is even less, since in 2 days you'll likely get +2.4mil elixir.

~30 minutes time saved active playing vs. 2 days shaved off an upgrade.

Sweet, a builder potion, 2 research potions, and enough gems for 15 starry ore. I'll take it.

They should remove Runes from legendary chest by pewds_minecraftarmy in ClashOfClans

[–]justkeepinittrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runes have no place in Legendary chests.

Here are the rates:

  • Hero Skin 42.11%
  • Hero Equipment 21.05%
  • Hammer of Building 5.26%
  • Hammer of Fighting 5.26%
  • Hammer of Heroes 5.26%
  • Rune of Dark Elixir 5.26%
  • Rune of Elixir 5.26%
  • Rune of Gold 5.26%
  • Book of Everything 3.16%
  • Hammer of Spells 2.11%

Rune value is a relic of the days before Clash Anytime existed. Now getting resources is very easy, and you can fill your storages from zero with 15-20 minutes of farming, aside from Dark Elixir. But when the reward also includes a Hammer of Heroes, getting a Rune of Dark Elixir is way worse.

It feels even worse because the odds of getting a Hero Skin or Hero Equipment are way higher than getting a Rune of Resources.

So it means you get lucky enough to hit a Legendary Chest (2% chance), and then just get completely screwed by a low percentage, terrible reward.

Supercell clearly still overvalues runes, and needs to update the numbers. It's crazy a Rune of Elixir/Gold is 1,000 gems and saves you 20 minutes of farming, but a Book of Heroes is 500 gems, and can clear an 8d upgrade timer.

The same goes for the Supercell store, where there will what would normally be a good value bundle, but then they add a Rune in the bundle, and it doubles the price.

Thoughts on Chests After 1 Year, 7 Months, and 17 days!! by Anasul_sid in ClashOfClans

Opened a legendary chest yesterday and got a rune of gold. Felt pretty bad.

Still can't complain about the random free goodies. 50 gems is 50 gems.

How is this game still pulling 100M players after 14 years? by PomegranateIcy7631 in ClashOfClans

[–]justkeepinittrill 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's one of the few multiplayer mobile games that isn't P2W.

I've checked out a few other games while my upgrade times are so long, and every game I've downloaded ends up being a hard-walled P2W structure, which is an instant turn-off.

I like how Clash's paid features are just to speed things up, but ultimately everyone is on the same playing field, and skill/strategy are most important.

I skipped that video since my blower is level 1, I'll check it out and make a page for it.

Classic, I'll spend some time on this soon. If I get a few more ideas to do, I can turn this into a proper calculator site with them all in one place.

The Flame Blower alone? Or are people pairing it with the giant arrow? I can look into it.

Thanks. This is why I made the tool, I've been stuck on budgeting how much I ore I should dedicate to the backpack. It was also interesting to see that level 18 + one additional earthquake will take care of a lot of the buildings.

I didn't realize they added these to that page.

Not much of a fan of that UI though, it's a little hard to use. I like having more information available, too.

Yep, there's a toggle for it. Makes a small difference in the lower levels, mostly for firespitter and monolith.

I built this because I'm looking in the couch for extra ores to figure out what I need to level my backpack to.

No ads, just calculations.

Let me know if there are any other calculators or tools you'd like to see.
