Our roadmap for the first two updates of 2023

What’s up everyone,

We recently shared our roadmap for the first two updates of 2023 and wanted to comment on the main topic of discussion - Card Level 15!

Some of you don't want new card levels - we hear you.

Some of you do want new card levels - and we hear you too!

WHY ADD CARD LEVEL 15?

When we released Card Level 14, we saw a large number of current players upgrading their Card Collection beyond their main decks, as well as large amounts of old players returning to the game to continue their Card Levelling. So from our data there is a real demand for new Card Levels from certain players.

BUT WE NEED AN ACTUAL UPDATE!

When we add Card Level 15 it won't just be changing a few lines of code and being like "...here's the update!", it will also release alongside the biggest gameplay update since Champions.

This update is planned to be the second one of the year, and we will share more info closer to the time. Card Level 15 is a very small part of the update that we plan to release.

HELP US OUT!

So here is the main reason for this post...

A large part of Clash Royale is based around leveling up your cards, its part of the core gameplay.

Therefore, leveling up cards SHOULD be fun, and we want to make it fun.

We still have plenty of time to work on this feature (it won’t be coming in the next update) so we are hoping to take this time to gather your opinions on how we can make Card Level 15 something that you do want to play.

See you in the comments,

The Clash Royale Team

TL;DR We want to know how we can make Card Level 15 (and leveling cards in general) a better experience for you.

The issue is 1. It takes way too long to max out a deck 2. The +1 level interactions are very problematic for many cards in the game. That +1 fireball that killed your musketeer or that +1 zap/snowball that killed your goblins can easily be the reason you lose a game

I'm just now starting to have multiple decks that aren't under leveled so I can finally use different decks without having to worry about it being underleveled. Adding level 15 will force me to stick with 1 deck to try and max out (which again takes so long), and then very slowly be able to max out other cards

  1. Another small thing, which obviously is a constant problem but is more prominent with adding level 15, is that once you finally max out a deck, one of the cards could get nerfed in a balance change which may end up making it weak, so your forced to either find an entirely new deck to use or your forced to switch up another card to upgrade which will even further delay the time it will take to max another deck

thanks for the comment. noted about the multiple decks and interactions

Progression needs to be increased by a lot.

Getting gold and such is so slow.

thanks, seems to be one of the main concerns on everybody’s minds

gold needs to be easier to get. i’ve spent money on this game and I still can’t use decks past the main one i’ve upgraded. it just costs too much. I will say tho the ranked mode was a good addition to allow me to use new decks at a lower level cap.

thanks for the feedback and comment on ranked mode

Problem: A majority of the players are not happy about the new level being released.

Comparison: COC and CR are both progession based games. You know why COC players never feel bad when a new town hall is released? It is because, after the new town hall is released, the overall time taken to be completely maxed is kept same as before it was released. CR players get frustrated because every new level released, the time required to max out keeps on increasing.

Solution: With the new level, you should increase/decrease the rewards/cost in such a way that it doesn’t just keep on adding the amount of time needed to max out.

thanks for the comment. i agree that discounting gold upgrades could be a good option.

Playing daily doesn't feel worth it, the gameplay loop isn't satisfying.

what would make it more satisfying for you?

You apparently don't want our feedback because you insist on adding lvl 15 anyway

we are going to add level 15, and we want to do it in the best way possible.

this is why we are reaching out to see player feedback on how exactly we can do that.

Instead of using gold for lvl 15. Make the card gain experience through battle similar to masteries to level them up

this is an interesting idea. however it would take like a large overhaul of… everything?

but it’s definitely an interesting concept. maybe you could earn cards for each battle played with them, sorta like boosters in marvel snap.
