Clash Royale Dev Tracker

We never release an update that we're sure will disappoint the community. That, unfortunately, happened with the CW2 update, but we never thought: "this is going to be bad, let's release it!"

Exactly what u/yukataur25 said. That's our call to say as little as possible. It can be frustrating from our side too, but we feel it's better to manage the hype and expectation that way.

I can't reveal anything about the new update yet, sorry! But yes, as we announced earlier, it will focus on high-level players.

Hi! Thanks for the questions.

- "Is new feature development time always going to negatively impact the stream of new cards?"

It depends on the feature and the work that we need to put into it. Developing a card takes a lot of time and effort from multiple team members (coding, design, balancing, art, etc).

For the Magic Items, many things were going on, and it was hard to develop new cards simultaneously. The Summer Update was "lighter", so we managed to add the Goblin Drill with it.

It's also (again) a question of where our focus is. If we decide to improve progression, we need to make that happen before thinking of adding 10 new cards.

- "What is the team’s perspective on the cadence of adding new cards to the game, and will we ever go back to regular new additions?"

There's definitely no hard stop on new cards release. As I said in another reply, we still have lots of concepts in the box. There's c...

Thanks for the questions!

1. COVID played a big part in it. I was not on the team at that time, so I did not experience it directly, but I know it was the main reason. Our development process is very organic: it's a lot of spontaneous discussions, we just talk with each other across the room, and we're all involved in the process. With everybody working from home and isolated, keeping this organic process was challenging, and the adaptation has been hard.
   But we figured it out! The Magic Item update was also developed with everybody being at home and it went really well. And we're now back in the office!
2. I can't reveal anything about the next update yet, but we still have many card concepts in the box.
3. Yes, it's here to stay and improve!
4. Around 25 people (this includes everyone from server engineers, data scientists, marketing, design, art, esport, etc).

5. I would say the Magic Items. The effect has been amazing on the game and ...

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing great!

I've noticed multiple messages asking for more communication, which I think it's quite fair considering that my last and only post was 5 months ago... and I'll start this one by discussing the same topic! :D

After seeing some comments expressing their disappointment after the start of Shocktober, I thought that some conversation would be great to show that we're attentive to feedback and answer some of the questions. So here we go:

Seasons VS updates

I want to make clear once more that Seasons...

Hey all,

I guess it's fair for you guys to ask for more interaction and communication. I agree that there wasn't much since my last (and only) post 4 months ago.

I'm always lurking, coming to the sub pretty much every day to check the discussions, trying to answer when I'm tagged in a post, commenting on stuff now and then, and reporting to the team what needs to be reported (comments, bugs, etc). My last wish is that you guys feel ignored because you are very much not.

I don't fear the community, I would be in a very awkward position if it were the case. My job is to be at the frontlines, and I like what I do.

We already thought about posts and discussions that could be interesting for everyone and start valuable conversations, but we always pushed them to later. We could maybe start again the "what we've been up to/casual AMA" series from Drew! We'll see :)

To answer some of your questions:

- We're not focusing on CRL players only. ...

I do exist!

Hey!

So, like u/Marco-Green pointed out, SC support agents have a strict process for recovering accounts, especially the ones where money has been spent (like it seems to be the case here). If they ask for the first receipt, you need to provide it, not another one. That and other pieces of information.

I understand that it could be painful and not practical, but it's in our opinion, better than to give an account with hundreds of dollars of spending on it to the wrong person.

Unfortunately, I can't help here, sorry. My best advice is to provide exactly what the support asks.

PS: save your account with Supercell ID, folks!

Hey!

I reported ⚡☁齾驫爨龘爩☁⚡ 's post on Wednesday and will report this one too.

It has been honestly a low priority so far with the update taking all our intention and time, but I'm pushing for a fix as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Wonderful work, as always! 🥰

We were sent the list of winners for the Reddit competition by the mods.
So we sent them out the winners :)
Congrats!

it was the final straw!

all jokes aside thanks to r/ClashRoyale for being here with me throughout the good times and the bad. the memes will live on forever!

this is a great community and i will continue to lurk this sub. see you around.

And now your watch has ended ⚔️

Ok cool. You never know on this subreddit. Just wanted to inform you why. Have a great morning/evening/night 🤛

It’s was either we make the vote happen to have some fun or not do it because of some text that can’t be changed without writing more code and then an update.

I’d prefer for us to just role with it and have some fun with the votes.

Should probably get that checked out 🙈

Finally… someone noticed 🤣🤛

Passed onto the team to get this resolved.
Honestly is disgusting behavior.
Thank you for flagging it

My fav post is yours right now ❤️😜
