One of the interesting things about playing online games is watching how they evolve through their lifetime and how players have to adapt to new changes as the developer keeps altering the core experience. As a game keeps existing, people inevitably figure out what strategies work best and which ones are not so successful in the big picture, and in the end the developers have to put some effort to keep the game balanced and fun for everyone. “Clash of Clans” is one of the best recent examples of this, as the game has gone through some interesting changes during its lifetime, and it looks like it will see even more soon.
The developers of “Clash of Clans” are currently preparing a major update for the game that’s coming out very soon, and after we’ve already seen various previews for the new patch, people have started to get a clear picture of how the game is going to work with these changes. One thing is becoming more and more obvious – players will need to adapt if they want to survive once this patch comes out, as it will arrive with certain changes that will alter the landscape significantly.
We’ve already seen discussions about the various additions to the gameplay that will arrive with this update, and players seem quite excited overall about the new features that they are going to get. According to some, this update will actually require players to change their attitude a little bit and approach the game from a new angle if they want to succeed, and we’ve been reading more and more predictions about how these new changes are going to tie into the overall gameplay.
Town Hall 11 alone is discussed quite a lot and people seem to have huge expectations for the effects it will have on the gameplay, although on the other hand some are claiming that this is being blown a little out of proportion, and there are more important features in this update which are being pushed to the background with these discussions.
The new version will make the game overall better tailored to careful, defensive players who like to take it easy, and it will give the player more opportunities for protecting their assets with a little forward thinking and ahead planning. It’s interesting to think about how the game is going to reward those who put more effort into coming up with complex plans for their defenses, and according to some this could actually be a problematic development, but we hope that they are wrong.
It’s also rumored that the update is going to make the game more accessible to newcomers and it could polish some gameplay features which have been the subject of negative discussions within the community for some time now. After all, there is still a lot of polish that can be done for “Clash of Clans” and Supercell have various things at their disposal if they want to improve the game’s intuitiveness.
With the update also bringing a new, larger map to the table, this is also going to impact the way players approach this game and how they think about their strategies. Map size has always been an important factor in this game and in the way players define their strategies, and it would be curious to see how things are going to change with the new configuration once players have had a chance to play with things for a while.
