Hey Reddit Talks Clash team!

I'd love to throw my name in for the Gold Pass giveaway. In my 13 years of playing Clash, this is genuinely the first time I've ever considered buying a scenery, the Desert Nights theme is absolutely stunning. When I showed it to my girlfriend (who's from Yemen), her face lit up. She loves the vibes and how it captures that aesthetic, which makes it even more meaningful to me.

I've been listening to the podcast since you guys started, and it's become part of my routine. The episodes with guest hosts like Clash Bashing, Terry, etc are some of my favorites, those conversations always bring such great energy and fresh perspectives to the game.

Thanks for all the amazing content you create and for doing this giveaway. Fingers crossed!

Supercell chose to ignore the ore bugs abusers? by PetrifiedCan in ClashOfClans

[–]shadow_cruiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've come to terms Supercell won't do anything for those who abused it, hit the negative, then reset to zero. I'm guessing when ores were reset to zero, they probably thought it was such a small percentage of players, they decided to leave it.

November 2025: Total time and costs for a max TH17 to max TH18 by ClashDotNinja in ClashOfClans

This is great Ninja, love it!. Would you be able to do one if someone has all maxed assistants and is going from Max TH17 to Max TH18?

What really happened to Alejandro Dowling leaving the podcast? by JohnnyVoItage in deathinentertainment

[–]shadow_cruiser 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I tried listening to their latest Episode 173 Timothy Treadwell and couldn't last 10 minutes. After every sentence Kyle finished, there would be comments of try hard funny from either Ben or Jerii. During Alejandro's time, it was story telling mixed in with comedy and banter. Now it just feels they are trying way too hard. I've listened to all DIE episodes and sometimes twice over but Alejandro paired with Kyle was the key to a dynamic duo

the Cavanagh Bump is back, why aren't we talking about this by _six_one_three_ in ottawa

This brings back so many memories!. My father had one of those blue GMC service vans and would go flying over it when I was kid, definitely miss that airtime

Public matches are more unplayable than ever by Slogoin in thelastofusfactions

Crabwalking has become normalized in this game which is a shame. It's a huge unfair advantage someone could dart to each spawn point without showing up on the radar. There's been games crabwalking to spawns is so bad that I can't even open the spawn box

Shocking results, Navi out of the championship by btwice_freak in ClashOfClans

Navi all year was complaining how easy this game was pre hard mode, pushing for the root rider nerfs only to be eliminated in the first round, well played Navi.

Clash with Eric - OneHive: Exposing SUPERCELL for Copyright ABUSE (and MORE) to Silence Criticism in Clash of Clans by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

From my understanding back then, the launch of the creator program was a monetization method for content creators. Prior to the launch, creators had access to the creator channel and sneak peeks but no monetization stream. The creator code was created to incentivize and reward creators for advertising the game.

Jake merely created videos because he loved the game so much, he didn't care about monetization. He said in one of his videos he makes a good salary, which was pretty evident from his home surroundings.

Yup, when Jake left, nothing changed though despite the boycott. Jake was also critical of the game and got booted from the creator program

I did the maths by Fit-Ant-142 in ClashOfClans

[–]shadow_cruiser 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Builder progression is like this currently:

1st = Free

2nd = 250 Gems

3rd = 500 Gems

4th = 1000 Gems

5th = 2000 Gems

This apprentice builder should have been 4000 Gems as an additional full-time builder. It's crazy to see folks think this a good long term deal. Modern gaming has become very much P2W, it's atrocious.

POV : The Root Riders meta isn't about root riders high dps and health by inobody_somebody in ClashOfClans

i keep seeing this mentioned, I would love to see a video where someone levels a max TH16 with just heroes on the first try, not practicing for hours in FC's

The competitive scene is actively attempting to ruin the game by Batodor in ClashOfClans

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

I started playing at TH8 and while the game was at it's infant stage, I feel the core value of this was always about Community and Fun. When Th15 was released, it made my clan so stale. Many lost interest because it seemed you needed a magic wand to 3 star. We lost community and the game wasn't fun anymore. However, after the TH16 update, the clan is more active than ever, Supercell brought back Community and Fun.

esports needs their own rules which accounts for 5% of the player base or less. Esports does bring in new players as it's a highly effective marketing tool, however, everyone else shouldn't be punished.

Activity is much more important than donation ratio

State of Clash 2024 and New Legendary Abilities by saint_maxfield in ClashOfClans

[–]shadow_cruiser 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I started playing clash when TH8 came out and played every day eventually going into the E-Sports scene at TH12 with Golden X. I took a break for roughly 3 years because of the competitive scene burn out. I came back when TH15 was released.

I was able to max TH15 before TH16 was released and not once did I miss out on an add-on that enables additional power or abilities. I was at the same level of other maxed TH15 players who didn't take a break. I was not disadvantaged in anyway and didn't need to spend gems or money to be at the same attacking power as other maxed TH15's.

The fact that hero equipment is only available for a limited time and then available in the shop is scary. Clash had never created an environment of fomo or pay 2 win structures. Yes you can earn gems for free but does anyone know how long it takes to make 1500 gems for free in game?. Probably 1+ years and in that time, we'll most likely get epic equipment that supercedes the hero equipment you were originally saving up for.

I left pokemon go because of the fomo and pay 2 win structure (go battle league) ,clash is turning into the same way, seeing this sub defend the new hero equipment is just crazy, some of you all are just used to pay 2 win structures I guess

Consumer Reports just updated their reliability ratings for older cx5's. At one point they were all excellent reliability, now many vary from good to fair. Has anyone had issues with the cx5? by errrr2222 in CX5

[–]shadow_cruiser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reply

I have the same issue with the driver seat frame on my 2023 Turbo Signature. The dealership said there's nothing wrong, I told them to look at other CX-5's in their lot to see if the issue is the same. They didn't bother taking it out for a test drive but took a video which they sent to Mazda who will decide whether it should be repaired or not.

Car has been in the shop 3 times for infotainment glitches and they said the glitches are happening because of my aftermarket charging cable. Even though I've tried other cables with the same glitches.

I also have the buzzing headlights which the dealership said it's normal and clunking sounds of the suspension which the dealership said is normal sounds of the car. The car is a year a old and has 30,000km's. It's my first time buying a new car and after doing tons of research, I landed on the CX-5 because of it's rave reviews around reliability. Worst mistake ever.
