And? Are you guys gonna give us any of them? Obviously no details, but a simple β€œyes” or β€œno” would be decent of you. We have been asking for QoL changes for so long, especially us clan leaders. Why do you continue to not make any QoL changes in updates? They require the least art (usually none, just text) and little coding is involved (comparatively).

it would be disingenuous of me to say "yes" or "no" when we haven't had an internal meeting about it nor have any of the ideas been spoken about with the rest of the dev team.

nothing simple about it i'm afraid

Ohai, thanks so much for the response!

In the post, I didn't actively buff the healing per second, but instead made it one single burst with the combined power of the current 4 small ones. She doesn't "outheal" the tower as the healing/sec is effectively the same. I just think it's good to know EXACTLY when the healing is going to happen in order to ensure better interactions (i.e. "she heals 84 now", instead of "she will heal 84 over the course of a second"). It also makes it so rounding affects these amounts less.

The reason I called it a "buff to healing" is because it happens instantly, not because it's more overall. Troops won't die in the middle of the process because they weren't healed fast enough.

Saw the tweet about Fisherman. I thought the update was gonna be close to Season 11 release and thought to include this. Oh well ;w;

Dunno, I don't think lots of people are happy about recruits' place, or Freeze for that matter. Even if they do dec...

Whoops sorry! I forgot to mention, the multi-tick heal actually does a great visual job at showing the healing. We initially had BHealer (and Heal Spirit) doing an instant burst but it looked weird buggy or like you missed it. If a bunch of damage was happening at once, you might miss the heal altogether and think it didn't work. The 1-second blinking effect was a big leap forward in helping people 'see' the effect of the card

How did they not notice this in play testing? The big issue with spawners is that there is no positive trade to reliably take them out

Don't tweet late at night - SPAWNER buildings should not be a reliable defense. They should be something fragile you need to protect. Of course defensive towers like Tesla or Cannon should be a reliable defense against Hogs and Giants.

We can playtest for power, but its really hard to predict usage. Playtesters might say "hey this feels much better.... but I wouldn't put it in my deck" and we think "well great, its much better for the people who want to play it, maybe it jumps from 1% to 5% usage and that's good." But Goblin Hut jumped up to 20% right after, which is way too high for a card of that role. The winrate in testing wasn't that high, but its hard to predict how people will use a card, or what new decks will emerge with it.

Why not emergency nerf? Well, because we don't know if its an emergency type of problem - the usage has been trending down and hit 13% yesterday. That's still high, but hardly a panic situation. We can take the month to...

Hey! Always great to read these posts, I think the most likely of these to happen would be the EQ Change + Goblin Hut health reduction. I agree EQ has become a bit too RPS - as cards like Bomb Tower and Goblin Hut become catch-all defenses for everything, EQ (or Poison) becomes increasingly required. Making Spawners be high value if *untouched* but very vulnerable to *any* Spell is likely the direction we move in. Spawners used to have high health because they needed to survive in order to generate value. The death spawns are great at solving the value problem, but they don't need to be super tanky buildings on top of that.

For Battle Healer, two things I just wanted to add from a design perspective - if the active healing is too high, the BH can outheal the tower DPS (or keep it so close, barely losing health) that it becomes basically unkillable if ignored. While we can certainly move around the healing amounts, we did playtest a version with higher active healing and fou...

Bit of a design diary here, from my notes on this change:

  • Skeleton Barrel was long ignored because the win rate was okay despite 1-2% usage. Card lacked a clear purpose - any defense would stop it. With this months focus on low usage cards, it was time for a change
  • Wanted another fast win condition like Wallbreakers but with different game play. This was the card hinted at in the AMA.
  • Balanced on the strong side intentionally, we were cautious with Zappies and the rework didn't move the needle enough. Didn't want to repeat that.
  • Provides more options for Spell Bait decks - the Prince <> Skeleton Barrel change in those decks we had playtested.
  • Its possible that both Wallbreakers and Skeleton Barrel are too strong - this may be a fast cycle month, but we are willing to react quickly if they both dominate the meta.
  • Potential nerfs could be: further reduced health, reduced Skeleton count, removal of drop damage, or speed back t...

True story - the first time I met Ernie was at World Finals this past year, before he did a face reveal or anything like that. He walks up and I just INSTANTLY knew it was him - he looks exactly like his cartoon face avatar. I never thought I would be able to pick someone out from like a street caricature artist drawing but you absolutely can with Ernie.

Great meme dude, I've sent this to like 6 people already and its not even 11am here

u/Supercell_Drew sorry to tag you dude, but can you confirm if this is correct. I just contacted support and they said your 'best season' shows highest trophies not highest rank, i thought you had confirmed previously this was not supposed to be the case?

this is correct - highest trophies is what the best season is based on & will trump a higher ranking with less trophies
