Supercell's hugely successful "Clash of Clans" is one of the most ubiquitous mobile online games today. However, the most recent "CoC" patch update has been quite a disappointment due to a number of update-related bugs that emerged after its roll-out.
This time, however, the Helsinki-based game developer is keen on asking their fans meaningful suggestions for the next "Clash of Clans" update.
For this purpose, Supercell created a page dedicated to solicit insights, comments, feedbacks, and suggestions from fans who want to contribute in making the game better. With such a large fan base, the multibillion-dollar company ensures that is lending its ears to what the gamers have to say.
Here are the top 5 fan-recommended suggestions from the game's avid players (via Parent Herald):
1. Enhanced Quests: Fans want to see daily, weekly and monthly quests for the gameplay in the next "Clash of Clans" update. This allows gamers to have wide array of choices before joining a battle.
2. Easier Clan Search and Transfer: Players have the tendency to switch from one clan to another from time to time to team up with friends. Facilitating a more expedient process of clan search and transfer is something that fans have been rooting for.
3. Additional Leadership Roles: CoC players want to have new leadership roles created to better manage clans. For example, gamers want Supercell to add a clan co-leader who will immediately fills in the vacuum when the leader decides to demote himself. Moreover, a clan Elder is likewise necessary to handle other matters like accepting, inviting, or removing members from the clan.
4. Availability of Hero: Other gamers also seek to make the hero immediately usable even while in the process of being upgraded.
5. Troop Bank: This idea revolves around having a clan bank where members can pool in troops. In the event of a raid or attack, members can immediately tap the bank for troops they need even when other clan members are not online.
Meanwhile, the Finnish mobile game developer is now Europe's first "decacorn"- a tech firm worth $10 billion or more- following an acquisition deal from Chinese internet giant Tencent, The Guardian reported. For a while, the company has been under the ownership of Japan-based telecoms titan Softbank.
The buyout deal will see Tencent (including its partners) getting 84.3% stake in the 190-strong company valued at $10.2 billion. The company is paying $8.6 billion for the controlling stake while the rest of the ownership will be divided among the employees. Despite the changing of hands, Tencent promises to give Supercell full autonomy over gaming development.
The Chinese tech giant is keen expanding its business horizons. As reported by Wall Street Journal, more than 50% of Tencent's 15 billion-dollar revenue in 2015 all came from mobile gaming. Moreover, worldwide predictions will see a 37 billion dollars' worth of profit.
