I didn’t post this as soon as I maxed, probably should have but I have lost interest in the game. People who have been reading my daily blogs would’ve picked it up easily because of my negativity which bled through in the past 3-4 months. I now feel more invigorated by not being a slave to this game and found that I didn’t miss it at all just 1-2 days after stopping.
I’ll most likely never come back to the game unless they make major changes to game balance in the higher TH levels. Balance is just abhorrent at TH11-13, there is no reason that TH13 is barely 20% stronger than TH11, no reason that scattershots alone are 80% of TH13’s strength. SC is trying to bridge the gap between serious warmongers and casual players by gimping the growth of TH13 and there is no reason for me to play if progression is so bad. I have been playing other games (mostly idle games) which grows exponentially and I have so much fun playing those instead.
I was aware that there was another update last month but I just can’t bring myself to play again given how small the improvement is. I know that finishing all the upgrades in that update is probably not going to make me happy or make my life better so I didn’t bother.
I still have two posts pending, first one is an in-depth calculation on how to balance the game properly while not affecting TH13 vs TH13 balancing. It is so absurdly easy that there is no reason for SC not to do it, unless they are happy with the current balance, that TH13 can still easily fall to TH10/11s. The second one is a detailed opinion post on the problems of Clash. No game is perfect, but I probably have played this game for way too long, I started playing nearly 6 years ago which is almost 3 years too much.
Hi! This was a really good journal, thank you for sharing this. I am currently following this journal for a donation account. It is sad that you have lost interest in the game. Hopefully supercell brings in an update huge enough to bring you back and do more of these guides. Thank you once again!
P.S what idle games are you playing at the moment?

gg’s dusk. Your guides have been super helpful throughout my journey in clash since I got back into in January. Sad to see you go but its understandable. Good luck with residency and the path to being a doctor! Also studying for mcat right now and found this to be a good game to play while I’m kind of busy.

Wow, it’s a little sad to see you finish playing, but at the same time I see why. Thank you for your great advice over the years, you will be missed.
Anyways, have you found any good mobile idle games?

I was really surprised to see you stop playing. I had always admired your dedication to stick with the game. I always got burnt out too fast and hated the endgame due to its massive time sink and lack of true progression. Your willingness to stick it out says a ton about your character.
I will definitely miss your blogs as I would read them even when not playing just to get your take on how the game was.

I’ve been wondering what you were up to, so I decided to stop by and was somewhat surprised to see you’ve retired. I don’t blame you. You definitely contributed a lot to this community and on the subreddit, I can tell lots of folks have come across your guidance in some form with how much strategic rushing I see. The game of diminishing returns will eventually encourage its long time players to retire which is somewhat unfortunate, but life goes on. Good luck to you in your next adventures!
