How The Builder Base Became So HATED In Clash of Clans...

builder base: what is my purpose
players: to complete clan games fast
builder base: oh. my. god

The problem is obvious: Builder base is too grindy, doesn't offer a lot of strategy, and is extremely slow progression wise.
But supercell for some reason doesn't want to change this.

I actually really like Builder Base. I think all it needs is the earned loot to be doubled. Both from the star bonus, and the attack/defend loot. Right now, it takes forever to get enough loot to do just one upgrade.

[imNexis]

i love builder base, but limited daily rewards and very low loot amounts are SO annoying when ur like 1 mil recourses off and it takes an hour of attacks or 3 builder star potions.

I hate the matchmaking in the builder base, unlike in the main base you can't choose who you attack so you're usually forced to attack a builder base 1 or 2 levels above you which feels unfair. Also you rely a lot more on each individual troop which means that if the AI of the troop misbehaves it completely screws your attack over

I really hate the part that when they decided to split the walls. They didn't changed the cost. As in 1 single piece of wall requires same amount of resources as 5 pieces. And also the time required to upgrade after certain point(7d+) is ridiculous considering that this mini game was supposed to be fun

Same problem in builder base 2.0, such a grind to get loot. Though there is no cap, to earn gold we have to score star and the loot increases exponentially with the star. The elixir seems to pile up faster than gold while there is still half of base lwft to upgrade and no use of elixir, as of builder base 5. It feels so grindy to upgrade wall and go max. They need to make the walls be upgradeable by elixir like in home village and everything will be good.

Now it's really hard for me to hit 3k trophies with BH 7 max and matchmaking is unfair getting higher BH 9/10 every single match

I believe the BB 2.0 is a test for future home village updates. Home village is soon going to need to expand in other ways than just town halls because supercell is nearing the max town hall or else the game becomes too complex. It's not fair to say the BB doesn't fit in when there's people who like it and it doesn't hurt the game in any way, it's simply just an addition. But that's my opinion.

[kristapskeiss]

loot is still very much an issue in the builder base. while adding loot depending on how many stars you get from attacking, and how many stars the opponents get from attacking you is a nice addition, it really isn't enough, and it's because after a certain BH level, a large majority of buildings cost a full worth of your storages, which is in the millions, compared to the tens of thousands of loot you can get normally from attacks, and hundreds of thousands of loot from daily star bonuses

[dreamsdicc]

I think having a builder base event would be cool. Maybe a 5 day event for builder base clan war

[spartanAXA]

The reduction in troop's quantity was the worst decision Supercell ever made. That ruined so many great strategies and reduced flexibility too much!

[simon.r.k]

One thing that heavily improved with builderbase 2.0 is the meta game around higher townhalls.
Before 2.0 I managed to push up 5000 trophys and almost max out TH 9. At that level the main goal was trying to reach the TH so you can get a 2 star with hopefully more % than your opponent since getting a 3 star was almost impossible due to the clumped up bases. Only mass hoggliders were able to get a 3star which removed the strategical aspect of the troop choice.
With 2.0 it is much more doable to get a 6 star with a variety of troops and it is much more fun to strategise again, thanks to the smaller villages.

I think the builder base gameplay is actually really fun, I just unlocked the canon cart yesterday and I think it is by far the most interesting troop in the game, and the second tier is a pretty fun way to spice up raids, the main problem is that it is mind numbingly grindy. The upgrades take even longer and they're even more expensive, but you only have a single builder and I earn literally ten times less loot then I do on a good home village raid, there has never been a single time where I've seriously needed the star bonus at the home village, but it feels like that's my only source of loot in the builder base. Upgrading the builder base simply isn't fun, any excitement you get from the new features is completely drowned out by the unbelievable amount of time it takes to get them

[strangeelement]

Builder Base is missing something important in its gamemode, clan-to-clan battles. If Builder Base has one which has a completely different experience from any clan-related battles (Clan Wars, CWL, Raid Weekend) and does reward stuff which can help not only Home Village but also Builder Base itself as well, Builder Base will finally feel belong to the game.

[gamingwithksd]

the main problem w/ the builder base is that it is very expensive to upgrade things for example in the normal village the upgrade of the storages cost a reasonable amount of loot but in the builder base upgrade from level 2 to 3 costs 200, 000 elixir/gold

“My thoughts on Builder Base”

Me: Maxed out my Gem Mine, claim my gems and call it a day.

[somo]

the original builder base was the only reason i played COC back then

i could sit for hours just attacking bases, i like smaller attacks more than gigantic attacks with hundreds of troops

the only thing i wanted was something akin to a spell but on a much smaller scale, outside of that old BB was perfect for me

[truepixls]

Collectors are underrated, if you don't like the builder base you don't need to attack, plenty possible to max slowly with just collectors, I hit max bh9 and I'm fairly deep into bh10 for only using collectors (lvl10 collectors get you 300k a day)

[crosssans]

If they did cut off some update and price times, and of course add some more conection to the home village (other than, 6th builder and gear ups) will be a good start.
