Clash of Clans is still going strong to this very day. That and Boom Beach also has animated commercials that gives the characters more personality, especially what they did with Hog Rider and Dr. T.
I think the point about dedicated players is completely fair. A lot of Clash of Clans players have been playing for a very long time, and are less likely to quit. I feel like new players who are just getting the game are not nearly as likely to stick with it. Probably why there's not a ton of growth anymore.
In CoC rushing is actually a pretty viable strategy, a lot of folks make a couple of alts n rush them to act as donation accts or to try out specific strategies. With the QoL updates you can reach th12-13-14 in 6 months rushing
The game has reduced upgrade times over the years and increased ways to get loot. Magic items, clan raids, etc. The game is better than it ever was, but I will admit there is something nostalgic thinking about when TH10 was the max level and global chat was still out. They need to bring back global chat.
They removed global chat for a reason, it wasn't an accident. They removed it because it had a problem of people getting personal information or grooming.
Nah global chat made it more popular, when u add too much restrictions to a particular thing it becomes dead, watch the social platforms they're completely ruined
I started playing clash of clans again last year, i went from TH10 to a TH11, and from my experience it is much dead-er than in it's prime (when i started), but it's still decently alive. I will say tho, since the global chat has been taken away, the game feels more isolated and so it makes it harder to see, meet or talk to other active players. And it also makes it hard to actually guage how dead or alive the player base actually is
It’s still well and Alice trailers on their main channel still garner millions of views and just take a look at judo sloths views a coc creator almost a million every vid
I have an idea Instead of saying "what killed the ___ franchise" you could name it "is the ___ franchise really dead?" Because the last 2 videos from this series I have watched has had an ending where it wasn't really dead, and changing the title would feel a bit less clickbait-y, even though I do enjoy the content you post But hey that's just my opinion Edit: when the hell did I get 100 likes
That's fair, what killed was always just the name of my take on the "Rise and Fall" format, the titles are simply branding to get people to watch the documentaries as when they're more obvious people are less likely to watch (Trust me, I've tried). I'll keep it the same for now but if I do more videos with the "it didn't really die" vibe i'll switch so that it would work better overall, but having one video of five be called something with completely different branding and formatting just doesn't look nice, and at the end of the day the content of the video matters a whole lot more than the title, so getting one that gets views is more important to get people to see the actual message.
It's dead mainly because around 70% lost their old accounts and their support won't even help recovering it. People spend money on their game, why can't they even make a small effort to recover it
In my opinion, clash of clans REVOLUTIONIZED mobile gaming as a whole, despite not being that much talked anymore, it still has an up and running player base, as a CoC player myself, the game itself is fun, despite the long upgrade waits in high town hall levels, Clash of clans is still alive, is just not as known in the internet as it used to.
Not reallly revolutionized, just made a trend. Coc itself made no groundbreaking elements besides its predatory monetization scheme. Ironically, games recently like genshin impact have dramatically raised the bar on what mobile games are capable of.
This is the only "what killed" video i disagree with. These games still have millions of players, and active eSports communities. They aren't dead, what are you high on?
"Its 2013 and you have nothing to do so you decide to download this new hot game your friend keeps telling you about. You were amazed by his base so you decide to make your own" don't you remember?

Whales are the money makers for the company, but they have to be fed. Free to play players are the ones used for feeding, but you have to give them enough to keep them around.
It's not dead, just isn't in the limelight anymore and prolly never will be, 2016-2018 is the peak I think. I still play it with random clans, but there was a time when all of my Bros played it, now it's just me. It's just a F2P chill game for me. We don't take War and Clan games seriously
I feel like a major factor to COC being less popular nowadays is the fact that after town hall 11, the game becomes exponentially harder. You can’t spawn lightnings and dragons and get away with it anymore and it requires actual meta armies to be used at a chance of doing relatively well. For the casual player base, a majority of people have busy lives such as jobs, school sports, etc. They don’t have time to spend hours practicing attacks, they just want to get on, upgrade something, attack once or twice and go on with their day.
No it works at most Town Hall levels and in most league's. Even in masters league. But it won't work in champions, as champions league is nearly all dedicated pros. And that's fine, you don't need to be in the highest league to have fun or progress quickly.
@@_fuushi for me its because of these 3 reasons 1 . NightBase - it was officially the beginning of the downfall of clash of clans imo . Instead they should have added more features for the main base like day : night cycle , weather cycles . People always asked them for a day and night cycle for the main base along with weather features like rain , snow etc . Instead they added a whole new base which didn't quite succeed and eventually lost it's hype 2 . They made it into a battle royale game with the rise of battle royale genre - Base skins , seasons only made the game worse . 3 . Game is old - Be honest , the game is now at least 10 years old so eventually most of the players grew up and out of it including me . I started playing in 2016 when i was 12 years old and now I'm 19 and Don't find the game quite interesting as before because of the lack of good updates . Most of the games die after a while , specially online games . Only a very few amount of games last even 10 years after the release like minecraft and gta games . So most of the players grew out of it if I'm being honest
I'm genuinely nostalgic for clash of clans. We all had class clans and had rivalries between them. I remember getting pissed when 'too many randoms joined' the clan
Clash of cans has improved so much and since 2019 you can't really call it pay2win sorta because the gold pass is only $5 and provides insane value. Also yeah it would take you 2-3 years to MAX out th15 but if you don't care about that then th15 is probably achievable in a year
I've argue its the magic items that provide insane value to a player to the point that Engineered Rushing a base (This means upgrading All collectors, Barracks, Storages and Laboratory to unlock all troops including super): can take up to two years to fully max out. The game is still very pay to win, at least in the competitive scene. This is because a player who gems to max once an update starts has more time to test out the new content and see what does/doesn't work.
@@Attonitus 5 bucks a month is still 5 bucks a month. And the benefits it gives compared to a player that doesn't buy it is creates a really huge gap in advantage. Whatever the price is, if it gives that much of an advantage it's still P2W.
Tbh I'd like to see a video on what killed Jurassic Park Builder, since it's another early 2010's game that got slowly moydured over time by sequels and such
Clash of clans isnt dead, the thing that is dying is clash royale with the recent updates 💀 Also, i find clash of clans is more just paying to progress faster, you cant technically use it to win since you usually get matched up to people of similar levels (town hall usually) Clash royale is 100% p2w, as the interactions matter so much in the game. People upgrade cards so fast that it forces you to try to upgrade ur cards faster, usually resulting in paying money.
Clash of Clans still has a very large loyal player base. Those who played in the early days, still plays it. More importantly, you don't spend too much time to play this. If you are busy, you can play this game once or twice a day for 20 mins at a time and still make progress. Weekends too. Newer younger players also have a hook as its not that hard to grow from the beginning. Removal of global chat is the only thing that hampered games popularity
Imo the part where you said adding new content makes the players more intimidated on the game and saying the game now takes years to fully max out your base is quite untrue since supercell adjust the building time of each TH everytime they add a new one keeping the length of time to have a fully maxed base consistent
I quit when th13 came out. It was a job for me and i got bored and hated it. My entire clan treated the game like a job and they entered tournaments and stuff and took everything seriously. I no longer had fun with the game
@@Elti979try running a clan, 4 accounts and have people get pissed when you aren’t on to donate troops. I still enjoy hay day the most no pressure just grind away.
The removal of global chat ruined it for me. I understand why they did it and support the decision. But man was it fun to dick around and chat with people while waiting for my troops to finish being made. Would legit spend hours just talking in chat
Anyone who complains about not having a Global Chat Must be friendless, Or just abit weird... The game is massive and you'rr worried about missing out on some Random Chat? Lmao
@@Eggzy-b7f I don’t play clash of clans anymore. Me and my friends go out and hangout. We rarely ever play mobile games together. Clash of clans was something I’d play to pass the time during highschool, sometimes you just wanna chat with people while your troops are being made. Also met some dope ass people and clans from that chat. Hella nostalgia from middle school to highschool days. It was much more than just some “Random Chat”. If anything this tells me you never experienced it
The main reason Clash of clans dwindled out is that Supercell, at the peak of the game, did not release new content for a huge gap in their peak era. Town hall 10 through Town hall 11 was the peak of the game but updates were few from what I only imagine being because they believe the game was so successful that they found the ultimate balance, which quickly backfired since they later found out they have peaked. Nowadays,these town hall levels feel like you are barely starting the game. I've actually replayed clash of clans starting last year and I think the game is way more fun than it used to be due to all the new content such as Clan Capital and Magic Items that help patch out a rushed base.
I would recommend watching this video on 1.25 speed. This dude probably slowed down the speed of the video. 1.25 sounds even more natural to me and it saves you time.
I remember when I was small, I was only exposed to the story amd level-based games like Shadow Fight, Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc which had an ending. So when I heard of Clash of Clans, I would always get confused and ask my friends who played it at the time as to "When does the game end?", and got shocked when I heard it would never end. Because 10 year old me felt it wasn't possible for a game to not end. Like, I legit thought that Temple Run and Subway Surfers would end after some running! So, it was kind of a shocker for me.
I came back to the game after 3 years away and I noticed that it’s much faster to upgrade now They are now more generous in giving you items that upgrades things instantly as well as giving us an extra builder However I have noticed that most of the clans out there only have half of the players actually active, with the rest either semi active or not at all
What makes coc fun are the strategies Imo. It's fun to strategize and very rewarding if that strategizing pays of with a three star. Most people don't strategize but only care about upgrades and getting strong fast. They end up rushing and using edrag spam. The game is not only about upgrading buildings fast and p2w. Strategizing is so fun.
I played because of Klaus tbh, I agree with you. People just want to rush too much which I can understand why , it unlocks a lot more cool stuffs but IMO CoC is a game that is meant to be played casually on the side
I still remember when TH10 took many many many months to max. Now, it probably takes about a month or two (depending on how the user plays). Getting to the new stuff is faster today, but more is coming faster so…
it takes around 5-6 months if u have 5 builders But since supercell made it so easy to get resources and magical items if u use those properly u can max th10 in 3-4 months and this is free to Play With gold pass it's 1.5 month's
I have researched the Clash of Clans Clone games, I have Twenty-two examples, and almost all of them have their servers permanently shut down as of today. Only two remain alive: DomiNations, and Castle Clash. And both are suffering from "Feature creep" (the game has too many features and too much content)
I agree with this. I remember paying a lot of money on DomiNations because I downloaded it on a GameTame offer. I got addicted for months then stopped playing.
“What killed the clash of clans franchise” These games are still going, especially clash royale which I’m still hearing conversations about, supercell has made popular and long lasting mobile games and I respect em for that
I remember grinding Clash Royale and Clash Of Clans with my cousin literally every day and night. I have so amazing memories of this game, it's crazy. Also, the Clash games are definetely not dead, neither have they been killed, it's just that the hype that the games had died down. The games still have a good playerbase tho P.S. T3rr0r never disappoints with his vids fr
Saying that the Clash of Clans franchise is dead would be quite disingenuous. While Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are nowhere near the popularity they've had during their peak, they are still very popular games that have been sitting at the top of the playstores for years now. They still have a large, active community, maybe not as large as before, but that still makes them far from dead. I know that it's a series, the "What caused the death of [Insert game] franchise", but calling it downfall instead of death would be more true.
How ironic is it that it started to be way more active prior to the realizing of this video, man I wish clash of clans wasn't so p2w, nonetheless, it is a remarkably optimized game overall. I am glad I subscribed to your cahnel, when you posted that "Swordigo is a Forgotten Masterpiece ",video.
CoC isn't p2w, not at all. It's the most f2p friendly game out there because the only advantage it gives you is simply saving you time. You won't be able to dominate noobs because it only matches you with players ±1 th lvl of your. And getting raided less isn't that big of a deal
The new update killed clash. I didn't spend years on my verses set up just to lose it. I deleted clash today after playing for about 10 years. I refuse to just let it slide.
I hate these types of videos blaming video game companies for a decrease in popularity. Supercell is one of the better gaming companies who listen to what their players want, just look at the brawl stars team, saying they wouldn’t rework a feature until 2023 but reworking it early because the players wanted it so much. And clash of clans isn’t dead. It gets quarterly updates. These types of videos are so stupid lol.
What I really love about COC is when I met new people by joining to new created clans where I became the co leader. I've found my clan from the global chat, I am just a low TH that time and I became a Co Leader whereas one Co Leader was so upset for me being a co leader. It was so fun when the leader defended me. I was into the game because my relationship to that player. I learned a lot from him etc. Until I stopped playing COC for a year then I've found out that he also stop playing. It was sad and I found new freind with a new clan. He is also the Co Leader and I've learned a lot from him and I constantly recieved donations. Unfortunately I stopped again, when I decided to play COC again for almost 2 years. I was super upset! When Global Chat is not available anymore. I couldn't find new freind and clan.. Basically Supercell don't want players to buy and sell an account. They wanted players to spend gems or money to create new account and upgrade very fast. Unlike other online games, global chat is a nuisance, but for COC it's damn part of my gaming experience that is one of the best mechanic that the COC had.
As a veteran player who started in 2012 and quit when TH13 was released I was got tired of the games increasing complexity and the "Carrot and Stick" approach and I realised that TH14-15-16 will come updates were so frequent that u dont have the time to enjoy ur full base and master 3 starring What they should have done was being creative with new game modes instead of adding more and more things to grind and to slow down new Townhall releases and stop releasing new troops new levels was enough army was so cramped u need to be insanely fast to switch when deploying side note : The nerfing Queen walk was a milestone of the downfall
My Top Reason for Playing CoC is because I've been playing a FB game called Backyard Monsters and it's basically that but improved on in every possible way though I do wish CoC took that one defence structure from BM where you put limited space for troops in a Bunker and the troops in it will defend Ur base though in hindsight that's just how the Clan Castle works now.
I quit clash of clans because grinding became impossible. I remember i play half the the time on the game and made amazing progress, now i spend more time and get 1% 😂 so i quit the game since 2019

Also, i find clash of clans is more just paying to progress faster, you cant technically use it to win since you usually get matched up to people of similar levels (town hall usually)
Clash royale is 100% p2w, as the interactions matter so much in the game. People upgrade cards so fast that it forces you to try to upgrade ur cards faster, usually resulting in paying money.
0:20 omg i cant believe you showed swordigo, amazing game
My friend still plays it and my cousin's did 6 years ago. It was fun but just complex and expensive.
You know that your friend didn't have to spend money right?
@@edasdrawnworld9190 yes but if you don't spend then comes the other "expensive" part. The in game purchases like characters and buildings
@@Temtherandom ok. I just wish that elixer colectors were faster, then nobody would be tired of the game.
@@edasdrawnworld9190 you know that there is a resource boost potion right
@@jellyevil7163 yeah but I meant it when the player doesn't have any potion
Clash of Clans still has a very large loyal player base. Those who played in the early days, still plays it. More importantly, you don't spend too much time to play this. If you are busy, you can play this game once or twice a day for 20 mins at a time and still make progress. Weekends too.
Newer younger players also have a hook as its not that hard to grow from the beginning.
Removal of global chat is the only thing that hampered games popularity
As a Finnish person the coffee machine was the key part of the company. They would have failed without it
Imo the part where you said adding new content makes the players more intimidated on the game and saying the game now takes years to fully max out your base is quite untrue since supercell adjust the building time of each TH everytime they add a new one keeping the length of time to have a fully maxed base consistent
1) He said that near the end of the video
2) It's still around 4 years of constant playing with using every free magic item possible
@@BLET_55artem55 Simple its because.....
CoC is meant to be played casually on the side
Then what's even the point in the lower town hall levels if you can wiz past them in a few nanoseconds?

Insert "What killed" insert "Game name"

The laughing emoji is crucial for the title of a video or it gets no views
I was wondering the other day about when terror is gonna make a video about Supercell 😂
Cool!
Supercell is a good company
Same lol
Man imagine if they dig up their own grave by banning small content creators for criticism.
They would never.
Coc is timeless it will never be completely dead, many people still play it but most are pretty old at this point
I quit when th13 came out. It was a job for me and i got bored and hated it. My entire clan treated the game like a job and they entered tournaments and stuff and took everything seriously. I no longer had fun with the game
That game is like a weird past of mine
@@Elti979try running a clan, 4 accounts and have people get pissed when you aren’t on to donate troops. I still enjoy hay day the most no pressure just grind away.
The removal of global chat ruined it for me. I understand why they did it and support the decision. But man was it fun to dick around and chat with people while waiting for my troops to finish being made. Would legit spend hours just talking in chat
Anyone who complains about not having a Global Chat
Must be friendless, Or just abit weird...
The game is massive and you'rr worried about missing out on some Random Chat?
Lmao
@@Eggzy-b7f I don’t play clash of clans anymore. Me and my friends go out and hangout. We rarely ever play mobile games together. Clash of clans was something I’d play to pass the time during highschool, sometimes you just wanna chat with people while your troops are being made. Also met some dope ass people and clans from that chat. Hella nostalgia from middle school to highschool days. It was much more than just some “Random Chat”. If anything this tells me you never experienced it
I have a lot of my friends including myself still actively playing clash. It's not going anywhere.
I still remember the good ol days of leaving the game open on my phone for hours so I don't get attacked cause my storages are full.. Fun times indeed
Before 2016 clash of clans had a special place in my heart, now in 2023 the game feels like its missing something like (cough cough) og farming.
It's not dead, it just stagnated
The removal of global chat completely ruined the game for me
I'm actually waiting for a "what killed diner dash". It's one of my favourite games of all time
Did I actually just get a clash of clans ad while watching this 💀
I did too-
The main reason Clash of clans dwindled out is that Supercell, at the peak of the game, did not release new content for a huge gap in their peak era. Town hall 10 through Town hall 11 was the peak of the game but updates were few from what I only imagine being because they believe the game was so successful that they found the ultimate balance, which quickly backfired since they later found out they have peaked. Nowadays,these town hall levels feel like you are barely starting the game. I've actually replayed clash of clans starting last year and I think the game is way more fun than it used to be due to all the new content such as Clan Capital and Magic Items that help patch out a rushed base.
You're very wrong for saying its dead considering that supecel is constantly adding more fueling its already active community.
Surprised he didn't talk about the TH11 Update and Clan Wars 2
I would recommend watching this video on 1.25 speed. This dude probably slowed down the speed of the video. 1.25 sounds even more natural to me and it saves you time.
They killed the game when they killed global chat. It’s impossible to find an active clan.
TERROR PLSS PLSS TELL ME WHY IS THERE A 3D SQUID WITH ITS MOUTH OPEN IM WATCHING THIS AT 2:20am AND IS CREEPING ME OUT😭
Bro really violated @ZackScottGames 1:22
I remember when I was small, I was only exposed to the story amd level-based games like Shadow Fight, Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc which had an ending. So when I heard of Clash of Clans, I would always get confused and ask my friends who played it at the time as to "When does the game end?", and got shocked when I heard it would never end. Because 10 year old me felt it wasn't possible for a game to not end. Like, I legit thought that Temple Run and Subway Surfers would end after some running! So, it was kind of a shocker for me.
Got a Clash of clans ad when i pressed this vid
I came back to the game after 3 years away and I noticed that it’s much faster to upgrade now
They are now more generous in giving you items that upgrades things instantly as well as giving us an extra builder
However I have noticed that most of the clans out there only have half of the players actually active, with the rest either semi active or not at all
That's bc after town hall 10 everything cost 10 days to upgrade... Why tf would I be online constantly when everything takes DAYS to upgrade?
@@coggear1135 im talking proper inactivity though
No league shield for several weeks
Answer is nothing if a game isnt popular as before doesnt make that game dead
What makes coc fun are the strategies Imo. It's fun to strategize and very rewarding if that strategizing pays of with a three star. Most people don't strategize but only care about upgrades and getting strong fast. They end up rushing and using edrag spam. The game is not only about upgrading buildings fast and p2w. Strategizing is so fun.
I played because of Klaus tbh, I agree with you. People just want to rush too much which I can understand why , it unlocks a lot more cool stuffs but IMO CoC is a game that is meant to be played casually on the side
@@whyvern6817 Yeah I totally agree with you. I also used to be a casual rushed edrag player.
The fact I'm watching this while getting Hayday, Clash royale and clash of clans ads
I still remember when TH10 took many many many months to max. Now, it probably takes about a month or two (depending on how the user plays). Getting to the new stuff is faster today, but more is coming faster so…
it takes around 5-6 months if u have 5 builders
But since supercell made it so easy to get resources and magical items if u use those properly u can max th10 in 3-4 months and this is free to Play
With gold pass it's 1.5 month's
3 day wait for a building construction made me quit in 3 months
I have researched the Clash of Clans Clone games, I have Twenty-two examples, and almost all of them have their servers permanently shut down as of today. Only two remain alive:
DomiNations, and Castle Clash.
And both are suffering from "Feature creep" (the game has too many features and too much content)
I agree with this. I remember paying a lot of money on DomiNations because I downloaded it on a GameTame offer. I got addicted for months then stopped playing.
Hilariously, got a COC ad before this plays.
would’ve been still playing if i didn’t lose my decade old account
oof. I nearly lost mine but was able to recover my email. Now have a Supercell ID to ensure I never lose it again.
i am deeply saddened i was sleeping when this video was uploaded :( edit: like allways a great t3rr0r video
when was clash dead?
Google Trends doesn’t show the amount of active players in COC or CR because they are Mobile Games not Flash Games
Love ur videos and btw would you mind to make a video about dumb ways to die? This is the 1000th time im requesting this
I’ve had it on the list for a few months now but it’s pretty far down at the moment.
I got a clash of clans ad before this video😂
i miss when supercell ruled the mobile game industry. good times
They still ruled the industry, it's just overshadowed by a bunch of Clash of Clan clones and their fake mobile game ads that overstay their welcome.

Clash is no where near dead

Quite ironic how I got a minute long Clash of Clans advert at the start of the video
I remember grinding Clash Royale and Clash Of Clans with my cousin literally every day and night. I have so amazing memories of this game, it's crazy.
Also, the Clash games are definetely not dead, neither have they been killed, it's just that the hype that the games had died down. The games still have a good playerbase tho
P.S. T3rr0r never disappoints with his vids fr
babe wake up, new T3rr0r vid just dropped
Nothing has killed it bro still super popular I think it’s just not spoken of like before
Saying that the Clash of Clans franchise is dead would be quite disingenuous. While Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are nowhere near the popularity they've had during their peak, they are still very popular games that have been sitting at the top of the playstores for years now. They still have a large, active community, maybe not as large as before, but that still makes them far from dead.
I know that it's a series, the "What caused the death of [Insert game] franchise", but calling it downfall instead of death would be more true.
bro clash inst anywhere near dead
It's more alive than ever
Franchise? CoC was a single fucking game, not a franchise.
How ironic is it that it started to be way more active prior to the realizing of this video, man I wish clash of clans wasn't so p2w, nonetheless, it is a remarkably optimized game overall.
I am glad I subscribed to your cahnel, when you posted that "Swordigo is a Forgotten Masterpiece ",video.
CoC isn't p2w, not at all. It's the most f2p friendly game out there because the only advantage it gives you is simply saving you time. You won't be able to dominate noobs because it only matches you with players ±1 th lvl of your. And getting raided less isn't that big of a deal
@¿po!uarad and for trophy pushing you can get literally 3500 gems
@Hal 9000 I know, and I like the game, but the structure of the game is made to be pay to win, because It would literally take you 8-10yeaes to max.

Nostalgia syndrome moment
The new update killed clash. I didn't spend years on my verses set up just to lose it. I deleted clash today after playing for about 10 years. I refuse to just let it slide.
bbye
I hate these types of videos blaming video game companies for a decrease in popularity. Supercell is one of the better gaming companies who listen to what their players want, just look at the brawl stars team, saying they wouldn’t rework a feature until 2023 but reworking it early because the players wanted it so much. And clash of clans isn’t dead. It gets quarterly updates. These types of videos are so stupid lol.
What is currently killing part of the franchise, specifically Clash Royale, is the new update. Everyone hates Clash Royale's new update.
Clicking this video to know why coc failed and then coc ad is playing 😂😂
back in the day, i thought the company was SUP ERC ELL
wdym ? its still a thriving game

What I really love about COC is when I met new people by joining to new created clans where I became the co leader. I've found my clan from the global chat, I am just a low TH that time and I became a Co Leader whereas one Co Leader was so upset for me being a co leader. It was so fun when the leader defended me. I was into the game because my relationship to that player. I learned a lot from him etc. Until I stopped playing COC for a year then I've found out that he also stop playing. It was sad and I found new freind with a new clan. He is also the Co Leader and I've learned a lot from him and I constantly recieved donations.
Unfortunately I stopped again, when I decided to play COC again for almost 2 years. I was super upset! When Global Chat is not available anymore. I couldn't find new freind and clan..
Basically Supercell don't want players to buy and sell an account. They wanted players to spend gems or money to create new account and upgrade very fast.
Unlike other online games, global chat is a nuisance, but for COC it's damn part of my gaming experience that is one of the best mechanic that the COC had.
the player’s halls became too strong, and i was playing just for fun but after hall 9 the game became too hard to play and just not fun to play
True. One of the main reasons I quit is because it just got too complex
As a veteran player who started in 2012 and quit when TH13 was released I was got tired of the games increasing complexity and the "Carrot and Stick" approach and I realised that TH14-15-16 will come updates were so frequent that u dont have the time to enjoy ur full base and master 3 starring
What they should have done was being creative with new game modes instead of adding more and more things to grind and to slow down new Townhall releases and stop releasing new troops new levels was enough army was so cramped u need to be insanely fast to switch when deploying
side note : The nerfing Queen walk was a milestone of the downfall
Coc isnt dead tho
My Top Reason for Playing CoC is because I've been playing a FB game called Backyard Monsters and it's basically that but improved on in every possible way though I do wish CoC took that one defence structure from BM where you put limited space for troops in a Bunker and the troops in it will defend Ur base though in hindsight that's just how the Clan Castle works now.
I quit clash of clans because grinding became impossible. I remember i play half the the time on the game and made amazing progress, now i spend more time and get 1% 😂 so i quit the game since 2019
None of the games are dead just that it's not as famous.
