Clash of Clans team addresses Hero Journey rollout complaints

Clash of Clans has entered the honest developer moment zone, which is always more interesting than a shiny trailer with seventeen dragons in it. A UX designer has acknowledged that the team dropped the ball on the Hero Journey rollout, while also pointing toward more ore economy improvements.

That matters because Clash players can detect economy imbalance from three villages away, usually while holding a spreadsheet and a grudge. For a game this mature, live-ops trust is everything. Players will forgive plenty if the team explains what went wrong and actually improves the grind. If not, the comments section will become its own war base.
