Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
I deleted Clash of Clans months ago, but have been playing this since it came out. It's pretty damn addictive. Anyone else here playing? Any interest in a DVD Talk clan?

I am playing. I would be down for a clan.

Is it like Clash of Clans? I'd be down, I feel like I need a new mobile game to play.

Deftones 03-23-16 02:11 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
It is with clash of clans characters, but a card game. You use the cards to attack opponent. It is pretty fun and games are quick.

Yea...our CoC clan formed a Royale one two. It's different but a lot quicker. It's a bit more laid back than CoC

we're asomeness 2.0.....

You attack and defend a set of two small towers and one large tower with bridges on each side to get to them. And unlike Clash, you don't get attacked or lose anything when you are not playing (Which ultimately is why I stopped playing. I couldn't stand getting penalized for not checking my phone constantly.)

Im playing this but already in a clan. I'm level 5 and just over 1000 trophys.
I still havent unlocked the Prince or Witch! I can usually do well against an opponent unless they have those two cards.

mattysemo247 03-24-16 12:21 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
I keep purposely knocking myself back down to the arena 3 since I still haven't unlocked the Prince or X-Bow yet. Not sure what is going on, but I can't seem to unlock those under any circumstances.

DaveNinja 03-24-16 12:23 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
I only fought one opponent so far with an Xbow. that thing destroyed me. i had to dedicate way too many cards to destroying it

mattysemo247 03-24-16 04:09 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
That and you can put it right at the bridge and it takes out the other tower in under 10 seconds. That fucking thing tears shit up, which is why I want it :)

K&AJones 03-24-16 06:30 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Even two of our best players in the clan have ran across some with that Xbow and/or Prince and hate it. He said the one's who got it are probably able to by buying just sheer amount of gems and getting the Magical chests. He's got one but didn't buy any chest. He's up to 200 trophies with 700+ wins playing this the moment it came out.

Started playing, almost level 3 now. A lot of waiting for chests to open, which kind of sucks so early on, but i'm enjoying it quite a bit.

mattysemo247 03-25-16 07:59 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Ran into my first glitch. Went to open a chest and lost connection, so the game rebooted but lost my chest :(

its a strange game in the way that it actually hurts you if you play too often. I played a ton of battles where i couldnt win anything and it caused me to have to start fighting opponents with better cards and higher level cards sooner than if i would have waited

fumanstan 03-25-16 11:54 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
I spent $5 on gems (thanks Google Reward Surveys) and already spent most of it to open chests faster. I was getting destroyed earlier, seems like whatever matchmaking they have isn't too great early on. Starting to get the hang of it and having fun.

Anyone want to create a clan, even though there's just a few of us?

DaveNinja 03-25-16 12:03 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
already in a clan with a coworker or i would.

i have only used gems to buy gold; 1000g for 60 gems

Deftones 03-25-16 02:00 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
ok, i will start a clan. cost me 1000 gold. :sad:

Clan is DVD Talk in North America, open to all.

Deftones 03-25-16 03:09 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
If you join the clan, please post your screen name here. I made it open, but if a bunch of shitbirds start showing up, I will make it invite only.

fumanstan 03-25-16 03:22 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Oh, Noodles is me :p Didn't realize it cost so much to make a clan - damn.

Deftones 03-25-16 04:01 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
No big deal. Had about 2k in gold

mattysemo247 03-25-16 04:14 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
As soon as my clan starts going south, I'll join. Right now I'm in a clan called "I love Jesus" :lol: I got some decent cards from them and want to try and return the favor before I bounce.

If you didn't, that would be very un-christian of you. :lol:

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Has anyone used the "Goblin Barrel" yet? I got a card the other day and today got another to upgrade but it's 400 gold and I don't care to spend that just to see what it does and worth it. For an Epic Card the stats seem lame...

mattysemo247 03-26-16 01:41 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Yep, I use it all the time

mattysemo247 03-27-16 06:29 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Finally got the X-Bow!

mattysemo247 03-28-16 06:04 AM

FYI, you can purchase the Prince today for 2,000 gold.

I joined. Babycow.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
The matchmaking definitely sucks. Sometimes I play someone in a higher arena. One guy had a Prince, Barbarians, a Witch, Goblin Barrels, and a Cannon.

Deftones 03-29-16 02:38 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Well, it matches you on your level, not what cards you have.

I just joined. Still figuring this game out though.

mattysemo247 03-30-16 10:37 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
The X-Bow kicks all sorts of ass. I've been putting it right in front of my main tower and it just destroys everything. The only thing that sucks is that it doesn't target flying enemies, but at that point the other three towers are shooting those guys. I've been close to arena 5 a couple times now, but then hit a losing streak and lose 100+ trophies. I still really enjoy the game though.

DaveNinja 03-30-16 11:13 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
I keep bouncing between 1000 and 1200 points so i get a mix of the barbarian bowl and robot arenas. i finally got a witch but no prince. the minion hordes are pretty tough

The easiest way to take those out is an arrow strike. It kills the entire horde.

Clash Royale's top-ranked player has spent over $12,000 on the game. :eek:

http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/31/113...00-on-the-game


Writing in a Reddit AMA earlier this week, Clash Royale player Chief Pat revealed that he's spent a total of $30,000 on developer Supercell's games — $18,000 on Clash of Clans, which he's been playing for years, and a whopping $12,000 on Clash Royale, despite it just having come out at the start of 2016.

"I've never regretted it, because YouTube is my job," Chief Pat wrote. "It's a business expense, and I gotta show off all the coolest shit for my subscribers, ya digg?"

Chief Pat runs a popular YouTube channel with over 1.7 million subscribers. The vast majority of the channel's videos are devoted to Clash of Clans and Clash Royale. You can see a video where he takes first place on the game's leaderboards above.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Now I understand why the leader and top player in our clan gets so upset and frustrated with those he calls "Cheaters"...one's who essentially buy their way to the top. But good grief...$12,000!!! Heck...I'd look at $180 as a bit insane. I could see $30-$60 maybe but seriously, these people need to get a life.

fumanstan 04-01-16 08:32 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
Sounds like the lead guy has a life - making videos for the game and making a living doing so.

DaveNinja 04-01-16 11:36 AM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
what are you guys' sets you use?
I've been going with the following 7 for a while:
-melee goblins
-minion horde
-minions
-barbarians
-little robot
-baby dragon (level 2)
-skeleton horder (level 2)

8th place has been alternating between goblin spears, bomber, arrows and rocket.
I alternate sides of attack and try and sneak through a good little robot or skeleton horde hit on their tower. I mainly use the minions and goblins as counters for princes, giants, witches and such

mattysemo247 04-01-16 01:23 PM

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 
My current deck is:

Skeleton Army (lv 2)
Hog rider (lv 3)
Baby dragon (lv 2)
Goblin hut (lv 5)
Goblin barrel (lv 2)
Freeze (lv 1)
X-box (lv 1)
Minion horde (lv 7)

I'm mainly built for defense. And most of the games I win or lose comes down to a single tower (usually in overtime). I float around 1200 trophies and haven't spent a dime.
