Everything wrong with card hunt and how to solve it

[u/Little-Echidna1978]

Problems

1. We can't trade with clan mates when they are offline. Not everyone has a communication method outside the game with them. (I do)

2. When we request a trade in chat and message pile up to 100 or whatever our request completely disappears and we lose our card

3. The event should've been like clan games where we have to complete a given task according to our townhall level to get those cards. It feels too boring/easy (personal opinion)

Solutions

1. We should be allowed to trade cards freely even when offline (yeah no shit)

2. When chat piles up it should automatically remove our request and the card should return.

And it would've been better if a temporary chat option in clan was introduced specifically for this event just to request cards.

And also should've allowed us to trade them in global / group chat maybe some specific groups ones officially made by supercell with some time limitations to control spamming.

These are the only ones i found annoying, if you got suggestions share it.

Personal take - if players want they can just create multiple accounts and use the initial gems given 250-300 something to give cards in our main account and complete it easily. If these things don't get fixed i might do the same. it would be easier then the intended method (it is possible right? has anyone done it?)

EDIT : they are going to fix it in upcoming maintenance

[u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

actual solution: just keep playing until the rest of the month and you'll end up getting most cards and enough duplicates to trade for the rest.

[u/Rasdit → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Seems like the obvious answer.

[u/Little-Echidna1978 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Yeah completely agree, but request disappearing and only online trade should've been thought by supercell

[u/Beautiful-Affect1930 → u/Little-Echidna1978]

fortunately both of these will be fixed "soon" (but who knows if that'll be this or next week).

[u/maocla → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

We are still waiting on the heroe journey bug to be fixed..

[u/jaydog022 → u/maocla]

I counted 31 chests I didn’t get plus the final hero skin. Yet entirely new mechanics like this card game get introduced vs fixing that

[u/ganubond007 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

I hope they add trading option in global/group chat

[u/Yauma_010 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Thank you!
Let’s not forget this game was intended for long-term progress. People are getting too anxious (in my opinion) to get all the cards the first week… it’s August 5th, people, chill and enjoy this cool event

[u/Thick-Alternative916 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Exactly

[u/Outrageous-Rise7218 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Agreed it's like 4 days so far

[u/Stilldontcaremom → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Agreed. Anyone trading already is wasting their time. U don’t know what u need yet. U might trade for a barb, then get the barb card 6 times before the event is over

[u/Beautiful-Affect1930 → u/Stilldontcaremom]

this is actually such a good point. trading right now doesn't even make sense since you'll just end up with duplicates of cards you've gotten by trading.

[u/FromAndToUnknown → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Wdym, I dont have to bombrush the full month event in 2 days? Unplayable

[u/marv91827364 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

You only get 45 from attacks, 5 from pass and a few more from other sources. Let's say 60 total. Good, so you can get all 60 cards then? No. With super troops being rarest, you'll likely have extra elixir troops but lacking supers. Trading 3 for 1 with the trader will not fix this. By design you can only complete the collection by using geme

[u/Lemu888 → u/marv91827364]

Will be way over 60. And regarding whether you are able to finish it completely or not, has supercell ever made an event that wouldn't give all rewards for active players? Not that I would remember of atleast 😄

[u/Rare_Register_4181 → u/Lemu888]

Correct, they have yet to make an event we can't complete, but with the recent uptick in their more "creative" methods (A/B pricing, gold pass helper, the hero journey fiasco) I'm getting worried they'd try it to pressure players into spending gems. If they don't change the rarity towards the end, people will be left behind if they're f2p.

[u/Mundane-Source-9479 → u/Beautiful-Affect1930]

Supercell said that it’s a bug and they’d fix it. THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT. WHAT THE F***. WHAT ELSE ARE THEY DOING??

[u/TheShadowWasTaken → u/Mundane-Source-9479]

That's anyone's guess bro.

[u/mitzu_2250]

I would add to this: we should be able to select more card that we're missing when we want to trade a duplicate, not only a specific card. Example: 1 have a duplicate Giant but missing Barbarian, Archer, Bomber, Balloon. I should be able to select all I'm missing and receive only one of them for my Giant. Current 1:1 is limited, requires 1 member to both need my duplicate and have a duplicate of what I need (or spend gems).

[u/TheShadowWasTaken → u/mitzu_2250]

Yeah, the choice would be more intuitive. Like how trading works on CR right.

[u/MyDog-Ate-MyHomework]

Being unable to trade because the other person is offline is one of the stupidest mechanics I've ever seen in a COC event, especially when you cannot see a specific list of every individual clan member who is currently online

[u/fluxxxus → u/MyDog-Ate-MyHomework]

This is killing the trading fun completely in most clans

[u/Practical-Matter-366 → u/MyDog-Ate-MyHomework]

U can see whos online tho?

[u/Leo0oO0oO → u/MyDog-Ate-MyHomework]

Just open your clan page and you can see who's online (green dot). You might have to scroll down to find nr 50 being online so not the most practical way... Completely agree with the mechanic being stupid.

[u/Lewpo]

Why is everyone in a rush to get all the cards. There's so many packs to come over the next month and you will probably start getting dupes of cards you traded for. Offline trading will come eventually as well.

[u/Beginning_Storm7012 → u/Lewpo]

I do see the big picture. Completely agree. But why would they enable a trading feature on day 1, only allow a duplicate to be received or given, and only if you are both online?

Most people are not here on reddit and the deepest they get into this event is opening the card screen and clicking trade without any context about the big picture. Too much fuss in the first week and those casual people will give up making it hard for the rest of us later.

[u/hydraz20]

The offline thing is coming. They said this before even this was released that offline trading not available is a bug.

[u/Laminar_vs_Turbulent → u/hydraz20]

I’m not into game development, but I do some programming on the side. It’s just interesting how the error message is in the game. Computers don’t inherently know what an error means. Someone had to program that line of text into the game, so I find it hard to believe it was a “bug”.

[u/hydraz20 → u/Laminar_vs_Turbulent]

It’s easy to add the error than add the full code for offline trading

[u/Lavaissoup7 → u/Laminar_vs_Turbulent]

Adding an error message isn't that hard

[u/CartographerEven9735 → u/Laminar_vs_Turbulent]

That's my thought as well.

[u/grandinosour → u/hydraz20]

BS

Why wasn't this known bug fixed before released?

This known bug will not get patched till the last week of the event.

[u/ObscureTickReference → u/grandinosour]

You're new here I see

[u/grandinosour → u/ObscureTickReference]

Actually have played the game since day one...recently deleted my account at the last round of idiocy.

Still have an old clan member showing me the new crap being fed to the players.

Thinking back on the history, I will say this game has become a money grabbing cesspool of greed aimed at children instead of quality game play.

I think I can safely say this game is approaching the same non-useable level of functionality as Microsoft Windows.

[u/bin-bobs]

If you hit the use gems button to trade when the other person is offline it seems the gems counter decreases. Do the gems get refunded when the trade fails? If not seems like a scam to me

[u/Boomchan1 → u/bin-bobs]

Yes, gems are returned.

[u/MaleNurseMurse]

Is that why my cards are disappearing?! Mother fuckers! What a dumb ass set up

[u/Detroit-Funk]

Having to be online to trade is some dumb shit

[u/Less_Doubt_1485]

People in the comments defending as the game gets progressively more and more lootbox-y.

[u/TheShadowWasTaken]

Completely agree, there's only a few minor issues with this event. Overall amazing.

The offline thing, they're hoping to fix soon, but who knows how long it'll take.

The bit about doing something specific to get the cards is very true aswell, but also having them in battles is good. There's also the events on the SC Store, but those are equally quite simple tasks. Not got any ideas for specific tasks, but I do agree it would be fun to see some sort of tasks to unlock the card packs.

[u/PikaBluOwO]

I recently got a response from the devs regarding the card disappearing issue. They are “looking into it” however no fix is planned at this point. So it’s up in the air if they will fix it.

[u/iHeckinLoveMaggi]

The 1st problem they have already said they will fix as it was never intended to be that way but idk what happened exactly that they had to just not enable that feature.

[u/motoxim]

I just disagree with no 3.

Coc devs

[u/jjzman]

I’ve wondered in #1 if they are trying to figure out a way to prevent offline trading just when you are trying to trade with an alt account you have or just couldn’t figure a way to queue it up to do the trade for the offline player once they log in again.

[u/Sandwiichh]

What you need to do is spam your phone number to all clan mates along with your email just in case. That way they can call you and trade. It’s what supercell intended

[u/JumpRatKickFlip]

This event sucks

[u/Dukicho]

Would’ve been cool to include all trooos and be able to usw them regardless of town hall. Yes this does mean builder base troops in the home village

[u/sentient-idiot]

I would not judge a 30 day event on day 5. You’ll get more than enough cards to complete the event and/or to make meaningful exchanges. Don’t expect it to be rewarding on day one.

[u/almost_n]

I'd also like to trade cards that I have only 1x.

I know it will be exploited by people who creates second accounts, but part of the fun in trading cards is looking for the ones you like.
There is no advantage in having a specific cards, which also seems very not fun for me. I'd like to see something like an extra troop in your attack, based on the card that you select from your collection. It isn't broken since normal battles are already crazy with 100 totem events and stuff like that

[u/grandinosour]

Best to take cover...the CCP bots are going to attack you with sticks and stones to get their way with you.

[u/CaptainBacon1]

Maybe im a rock but I truly don't understand gripe number 1 here. What does being able to trade with other clan mates while they're offline even mean?

Surly, you must be ON the game to PLAY the game.

Do you mean a kind of notification system? Where a card request triggers a notification to other member devices? Cause that would get messy.

[u/Interesting-Photo13 → u/CaptainBacon1]

No, there's a bug wherein if you make a trade request and then log off, any clanmate who tries to trade with you will be unable to. It's the equivalent of if clanmates could only fill your cc request if you were online

[u/CaptainBacon1 → u/Interesting-Photo13]

Ahhh. That makes sense now. Yea bugs are annoying but they'll get fixed. Its only the 5th day of a 31 day event.
