CC's new look

[Dukasaur]

I dont know how it is for the mobile devices, but for the average computer user, I would have to give it a 0. It would help to be able to take turns without having to use multiple browsers. This should have been more thoroughly tested before being released. In addition to not being able to take turns, the map doesn't show, you have to redo any setting you pick(ie color codes) for every turn, and I am sure to find more once I find a way to take a turn(hopefully before I miss one). Considering the times they initiated these changes(there were more than one, i saw some before I slept, and saw more when i woke), and the lack of responses to the reported problems, I would have to say that this was poorly planned. These were some pretty big overhauls with some major impacts on how we play this game. CC should have had a plan to observe and address the issues that were bound to occur with such a major change. One can only hope that CC will do the right things in addressing the resulting consequences from this, but history does not support such hope.

Thanks,

Don't know why you had to throw in that last dig. With every other release they have worked tirelessly to hunt down all the bugs. Why would you assume it's different with this one?

This new interface was tested on the Beta site for a long time, and this "no map" bug didn't show there. And yet, it's hitting a lot of people, apparently. Wish I knew what to say. I'm running Firefox 30 on Windows XP and having no trouble. Some design flaws I don't like about the new interface, but no actual bugs.

With only two full-time programmers and a handful of volunteers, there's a limit to how much they can do. They were up late into the night last night trying to catch bugs as they popped up, and I'm sure they'll be up late for many nights to come.

I assume you've tried all the usual things like temporarily disabling your add-ons and clearing your cache? If so, then just post in the Bugs forum (a couple threads there already about the no-map problem) and give them us much information as you can. I know it's frustrating as hell when the clock is ticking down and you're losing games because of a bug, but the problems are not being ignored. The less you hear from BW and blake, the harder they are working behind the scenes.

I can't use clickies at all. GET RID OF THIS. I hate this. Go back.

please guys, go back to the normal,
cant use clickies at all,
i have 10 games going on, and i waste more time now than ever before, i dont have the time to spend
10 min for one game,
i feel sorry for those guys who have 80 ore more games going on,
please, go back to normal, or i have to stop playing
my time is very precious
i am sitting for a clanmember who has around 80 games going on,
i dont know how i can do it,
in the past with bob and clickies, i could play 80 gameturns in less than one hour
but now, im screwed and my clanmate is
wy wife will kill me

[AslanTheKing]

okay, my sunday is screwed,
all the links i tried to reinstall clickable maps is not working

[azezzo]

typical c.c. bullshit, trying to make changes for the sake of change, leave things the hell alone if you cant seamlessly make the "improvements" work

[grifftron]

Remember when CC was super simple to use?

Start turn.

Assault.

Fort.

End turn.

Good times... A lot better then these days eh?

Start turn.

Find out they changed everything once again.

Go through all of the forums trying to find out how to fix bob and clickies.

No fix, everything is f'd up once again.

Go back to game.

Drink some vodka.

Smoke a cig.

Wonder why their is a giant assault button and a small assault button.

Wonder which one gives a better attack %.

Attack with big assault button.

Lose two troops.

Try little assault button.

Lose two troops.

End assaults.

Click on the map to fort.

Opps, forgot that CC updated again and clickies never works after their awesome updates.

Go down to drop down menu.

Click the giant fort button.

End turn.

the updated tools ( clickies also) are here,
thx razorvich for the quick help

[jghost7]

Don't know why you had to throw in that last dig.

...

Two reasons. Frustration and true history. The frustration will do it every time though....lol

I have managed to finally find a semblance of normalcy, after working to find some workarounds. But, if my schedule would have been as normal today, I would not have had time to do that before heading off to work and thereby causing me to miss some important turns that would not have been corrected in the past.

I am not saying they are not working diligently on it. Nevertheless, it begs the question, what was the contingency plan regarding the update? There is very nearly always something that comes up during the changes, so they had to be expecting it.

I don't know what to say on how it could be done better. Maybe give advance notice of impending updates 24 to 48 hours ahead of time so that players may have the opportunity to try to clear games before the update. Maybe that will allow for some to clear a big enough window to allow for bug fixes before having to take a turn.

What exactly was changed? Most of what I saw was cosmetic. Was there any game-play changes?

Thanks,

J

ps

@griff.....hahahahahahahahaha

[iAmCaffeine]

What a load of shit this is. The homepage looks like shit. The game interface looks like shit. If this is how things are going I'll be leaving.

No clickies, no BOB. I refuse to use the interface panels because guess what, they're also shit, just like the site clickies.

[owenshooter]

thank god i know what color i am before i take my turns now!!! WTF is that?!! ugh... this is just horrible... and did we get the forum tab back as promised?! just keep pushing the old guys further and further away... this is a wonderful biz model they have going...-el Jesus negro

[Barney Rubble]

Almost unusable on an Ipad .Why are we constantly trying to re invert the wheel .This is a giant step backwards. Why are the paying customers not asked for an opinion prior to more bad choice changes ?

[iAmCaffeine]

Not one good thing has come from this change. Nothing. Revert the f*ck back to how it was.

Don't you think that if anyone wanted an aesthetic change like the shit that has come to fruition, it would have been in the suggestions forum? You know, that dust-filled section of the forum near the bottom that is extremely easy to access through the disregarded forum tab in the corner. That one, where people make worthwhile suggestions to improve the site, rather than look like something I drew when I was in the fucking womb.

Also, you can no longer skip games. You jump to the next, then try it again and it comes back to the game you originally skipped. Fucking pain.

Today I can not post in the game chat at all. SEveral hours ago, I was able to post in either chrome or IE (can't remember which one). Now I cannot post to game chat in either of them. I have a pretty full day today and need to get thoughts to teammates ASAP. Any suggestions?


(will send messages in the meantime, I suppose).

[kalishnikov]

I cant play with the new update.

I use firefox and when i click begin game nothing happens. there is no map either.

Like others i can click change map size and then see a map but still cant play on it.

I tested IE and i can play with IE but please dont make me use a security risk product like IE or chrome to play this game,
i would rather have my money back than take the risk of using IE or chrome.

also i dont need to be told what colour i am, Im not stupid and it really wasnt hard to know before. the new ui seems cluncky and the old version was much more appealing.

I'm running firefox and although I have some issues with the new interface, on the whole it works.

If you have a major malfunction like no map showing, clear your cache and try it again.

I cleared cache, restarted firefox and it has made no difference, still no map and begin game button does nothing

I also cant play in IE anymore, i played one game in IE, clicked next game and had no map,and begin game button dosnt work

ok i have to restart IE after every game for the map to reshow

I had the same problem with FF and weirdly I found that killing its process via task manager, then opening CC again and logging in, then disabling Greasemonkey, then clicking "begin," THEN re-enabling Greasemonkey allows the game to begin and the maps to load. However BOB doesn't work (can't speak to click maps, I don't use them).

That's pretty much the internet equivalent of a voodoo ritual but it was the only way I could get the game to start.

I miss lackattack

[Loth]

Not able to take my turn in World 2.1, game map doesn't even show up unless I change the map size.

[osok68]

i have 2600points but have swords?

[iAmCaffeine]

i have 2600points but have swords?

Wow!

This is absolutely wonderful. I feel inspired to shit on a wall and sell it.

Did this go through beta testing?

[a6mzero]

I thought it was clunky on my desk top but I least I can manage 2 play. Now on my iPhone FORGET ABOUT IT! Basically unplayable.so now unless I'm at home I will not b able 2 play ! That sucks! Wish I would have found this site sooner, looks like I got on 4 the death ride.

[JesseLacey]

I hardly ever post, but please remove this change. It's ugly, unnecessary, screws up add-ons and in my experience also slows down gameplay because it has to load sligthly longer.

That's actually a really good question.

Hey Mr. Admin or any of you "I work for free" types: are there beta tests of the software revisions before release? I know there used to be but there also used to be topics asking what changes the players at large would like to see.

[betiko]

probably the worse piece of shit release ever between clickmaps not working and this flashing map that makes you go epileptic each time you throw a dice.

[DiM]

don't you just love it when the most minute of changes becomes the world's biggest problem?

if you guys react like this for a minuscule issue on an online game, i wonder how you cope with real life problems.

[chemefreak]

The New Look is Great, that's if you are a three year old..... Thanks CC for tinkering with something that didn't need it.

my clickable maps has gone, is there one i can use on firefox?

Just like most things that have happened lately, your normal "Team" CCer had no idea about this update.

When I agree with smegal, jghost, betiko, and owenshooter you KNOW something is fucked up!

The most disappointing thing to me is that we thought bW embraced the "Team" concept of CC. But over the past few months, those wearing Red have done everything they can to screw this place up.

[a6mzero]

When u r unable 2 play from your mobe device I would say that's a huge issue 4 this site bud.

[IcePack]

Clickies should be working if you have the most updated version

+1. Totally agree. And the underlined is a big reason why I quit.

Bollocks.
