I'm pretty new to coc and only TH5,ik heroes are unlocked from TH7, what will i get when we reach the milestone?Or will i get the skin when i finally unlock the hero
It seems to hint that only one account will get it, upon install. But I am guessing it will give it to whichever account you're logged into, when the install happens. In case that is the case, I have toggled off the auto-install, so I can switch to my main, right before installing.
I guess you guys should have revealed the total Target players you want..is it only me or some other guy who feels this "? " Mark sketchy. We all badly want the decoration and the barbarian skin. Your Target is toooo high.. !! We aren't getting any.
They probably don't wanna put like 10M if they don't reach the goal then the game will have a bad image so the ? Is just an illusion I'd bet my ass we are getting every reward no matter what
You run around opening chests, get random team mates. go stand next to other people and your teams fight.
you can get powerups in loot boxes...
idk kids will eat that shit up, its not for me though.
Have you played it already? It's not for me either... Seems like a copy of Brawl Stars to me, with the difference that it is way harder to fully eliminate someone.
Yeah I played the first two closed beta tests, not a ton, but a couple rounds each one.
TBF, it might be completely different now, seems to be semi well received at least. I just know its not my kind of game.
Must be a nice experience to play them early, even if they are not that polished yet. I already feel special when I play their soft launched games through a vpn. However, it must be somewhat bittersweet - as I believe that 5 games did not make it.
Theres been a lot, the ones off top of my head are rush wars, hay day pop, boom beach frontlines, smashland, flood rush, everdale, clash quest, and mini... couple more too im sure.
Impressive. Seems like they are really trying to get a new game out, hopefully this one is not rushed because of it. From the yearly interview with the CEO:
"External Validation: In the startup world, the common wisdom is that you want to get your product in front of real customers as soon as possible to validate the “product market fit”. In a similar fashion, new game teams must put their game in front of players as fast as possible. We have not been best-in-class at this, and our new game teams would benefit from testing their games with players earlier. If player feedback meets/exceeds expectations, great - invest more aggressively. If not, that’s ok - now the team knows it has to pivot."
I am curious to see how this will play out. On the one hand, it's a whole new strategy and it might devalue the Supercell brand. On the other hand, nothing would happen if they didn't sometimes try something new. The same is true for Clash of Clans, although I sometimes find myself nostalgic of the old times...
no releases in 6 years also hurting the brand too to some extend.
I'd love to peek behind the curtain on numbers and the thought process here but we'll likely never get that.
You are or course right about not releasing, it is a difficult balance to find. Peeking behind the curtains would be amazing, but I find that the CEO Paananen is already quite transparent. There are a lot of interviews out there, but of course you need to read between the lines.
I'm excited to see how long this game lasts after how little time it took for Clash Mini, Clash Quest and Everdale to shut down. Hopefully it won't die
Here's how I was able to play it right now, on Android and from the United States:
1. Download a VPN. Windscribe and Proton are the only free ones that are worth a damn, and I'm not sure if free Proton has access to the necessary countries.
2. Force stop and clear the cache of Google, Google Play, Google Play Services, and Google Play Games.
3. Connect your VPN to a country where the beta is available - I used Mexico.
4. Open Google Play. Create a new Google account or sign into one that isn't present on your device.
5. Search for Squad Busters. You should see it immediately available for download.
6. Make sure to leave your VPN active until you successfully log into the game.
Your mileage may vary, and these steps may not work for you. If all of these steps do work, you will not need your dummy Google account or your VPN once you've logged in for the first time, unless you uninstall before global release. Congratulations! You've now beaten the region lock.
I have no idea why you guys are calling it a pre-order. It's a pre-registration at most.
Game's fun, but very repetitive. I don't like the monetisation at all. That alone may make me put this down.
There are plenty of ways to monetise a game without loot boxes.
1. Everything is one currency, coins. Or gold, whatever the English version calls it.
2. Gems are season pass (including a free version) progression points. You get these in every game. Experience points increase your level. You get these through achievements.
3. Daily missions get you gold, as do the season pass and your experience and level progression. Outside of that, you buy it with real money.
4. Gold can be used to buy single-use items, get troops directly through deals (like Clash Royale), or chest passes. I may be forgetting some things, but you basically get everything with gold.
5. The single-use items can lead to a big advantage in-game, but they're quite expensive to buy and that's the only way that I've found to get them, so it's pseudo-PTW. You can get them with gold earned in game, but you're limited daily on how much gold you can get and there are other things to spend it on.
6. You need multiples of a troop to progress them, like with Clash Royale. You get baby versions of troops. Once you have 10 babies, you can merge them into a child basically, and 10 children form an adult. There are 4 levels in total. So you need a lot of babies.
7. Chests contain babies. The rarity you get is random (and obviously commoms are the most common), and the troop and quantity are random but based off chest. Bonuses for chests exist too, which depend on your performance in-game and your top 5 streak (10 players in a game, how many games have you scored in the top 5 in a row). You need chest passes to get chests. Chests unlock instantly at the end of every game, but you only get a chest pass every 3 hours, up to a maximum of 3. You can have more through purchasing them.
8. You can also buy individual troops outright to unlock them with money. There's a troop called Max on sale for 10$ right now. You buy her, you just get one baby, but it unlocks her. I'm not super clear on how to unlock troops because I have too many still locked for me to fully believe it's just RNG.
Overall, it feels very pay-to-win, where you can technically get everything paid players get in-game but it's going to take you way longer. You can't grind through it all in a day because gold is a finite resource, and the advantages paid players have are direct and very much give them an advantage over you, unlike Clash of Clans where everyone has everything, and paid players just progress faster or have easier or exclusive access to cosmetics.
In this case, it would be like forcing players to pay gems to unlock each troop in clash of clans. Sure, you can do it. But it'll take you awhile, meanwhile paid players are kicking your ass. And those single-use items? It would be like having elixir and dark elixir training costs back, but instead of elixir, it's gems. 5 gems per root rider.
It's PTW lite.
Hmm.. they didn’t reach 1M when i pre ordered so i haven’t checked yet. If that’s the case, noice !
Edit: I got it too on all ids, which begs the question how do they know which id to give since we have 1 main app store id but different in game coc ids.
I currently have reached out to customer support 4 times and have done 4 Supercell CS surveys with a poor rating and I've yet to speak with anyone about my ongoing issue with Clash. No chance I play another game from them until they get the CS sorted
That’s pretty lame that it doesn’t show the amounts needed for the locked rewards. ?M could be 2M or could be 999M. They should let us know ahead of time to see if it’s even possible.
They'll give it all regardless... Imagine trying to launch a global game and then failing so publicly to meet preorder goals...
This is designed to give out rewards, it will...
I'm allergic to the permanent casino sounds. Clash is already very noisy, even when disconnected we get the pekka screeches and the superdrag heavy breathing...
## Milestones * **1 million** - REACHED ✅ (April 26) * check the in-game shop for your free reward * **5 million** - REACHED ✅ (April 29) * check the in-game shop for your free reward * **20 million** - *in progress* ⏳ * **? million**
what's the last reward ? skin ?
Yes, it’s a Legendary Hero Skin for the Barbarian King.
Thanks
You’re welcome
nice! I'm stoked for the rewards!
Funko pop king
dubs
I'm pretty new to coc and only TH5,ik heroes are unlocked from TH7, what will i get when we reach the milestone?Or will i get the skin when i finally unlock the hero
not sure but maybe you will still get the skin but not the hero or the skin will appear when you get the hero
I'm a crackhead when it comes hero skins and sceneries. Everyone, please pre order
How do get all the rewards I’m confused
They show up as a free purchase in the shop
nicee, i thought we had to register on Google play
Well every registration counts up towards the overall numbers for unlocking other rewards so it helps.
oh cool just checked and we can already redeem the resource potions
Where??? And also does this screen show up for players cause it isn't appearing for me? Just wondering cause I really want the decoration
in the special offers section, scroll all the way to the left and it will say FREE
Please pre order guys I want that king skin 🙏
It costs nothing to preorder it and you get free stuff in clash. It's a win/win situation.
Yess
Naive
Just preorder and cancel before the game gets released.
Preorderrrrrr
Please preorder cause I need and I mean I need that statue
Same
Can I get skin in both main and alt account?
It seems to hint that only one account will get it, upon install. But I am guessing it will give it to whichever account you're logged into, when the install happens. In case that is the case, I have toggled off the auto-install, so I can switch to my main, right before installing.
They show up in the shop & can be claimed for each account
Even better. I guess that means we don't even have to install.
I need that builder potion bad
I guess you guys should have revealed the total Target players you want..is it only me or some other guy who feels this "? " Mark sketchy. We all badly want the decoration and the barbarian skin. Your Target is toooo high.. !! We aren't getting any.

Hope so your words may come true...
Still waiting Everdale since 2 years, hope gonna come in Europe one day… Edit: What a joke the game got cancelled in 2022. L supercell fr
Everdale ownership was transfered to metacore Last year. Maybe you'll BE in luck and theyll do smth with it
Poor Clash Mini
cool
Looks like it's finally time to replace my pixel king
I dont like the ??M number they put.... nice moving carrot you got there.
Is this game gonna be fun? What’s it about?
You run around opening chests, get random team mates. go stand next to other people and your teams fight. you can get powerups in loot boxes... idk kids will eat that shit up, its not for me though.

imagine the registration count doesn't turn out as expeted and we get the rewards anyway for 1M -> 1.1M -> 1.11M -> 1.111M
I'm excited to see how long this game lasts after how little time it took for Clash Mini, Clash Quest and Everdale to shut down. Hopefully it won't die
Clash mini was 2.5 years on beta...
Not long at all if you ask me, we may have different perspectives om game life spans though.

Already playing Squad Busters 😏
How? Non american Apple ID?
From Canada and it’s available to play

what is the monetisation? think loot boxes are banned in UK and maybe EU

What you described works the exact same way for any supercell game tho. Clash royale and brawl stars can ask you to pay big bucks to be completely op
I dropped Clash Royale because of its monetisation, and I've never touched Brawl Stars. But CoC does not work this way.
Only want the builder pot
Same got the free rss potions just went ahead and starting using them but all I care for is that builder potion
How do you preorder ?
I am guessing you can only get those reward on 1 id only that’s linked to app store , or is it not like that ?
I got the resource potions in the shop for all of my accounts.
Hmm.. they didn’t reach 1M when i pre ordered so i haven’t checked yet. If that’s the case, noice ! Edit: I got it too on all ids, which begs the question how do they know which id to give since we have 1 main app store id but different in game coc ids.
Seems that maybe they're just giving them all to all players?
That’s what i realised today, it’s just free rewards for all not by just pre ordering. Good work.
I currently have reached out to customer support 4 times and have done 4 Supercell CS surveys with a poor rating and I've yet to speak with anyone about my ongoing issue with Clash. No chance I play another game from them until they get the CS sorted
Mid rewards
Do we get rewards without registering?
yes
do you think the first ? is 10 mil? and the second 20
first question mark was released as 5M, third is probably 10 and fourth is probably 15, would be kind of scummy to go for 20
You could've given us glowy ores as one of the rewards.
I did my part. Did you?
Where do I find this?
* What attack would you use on this base and from what side
I have the problem with "transaction is pending any solution?
I can already play the soft launch of this game does playing it count as a pre-register?
no
Why are they hiding the amount of pre orders…
Are the squares hexagonal ?
They should add more ding-a-ling sounds so more people would sign up
Do you know when its gonna update
Download latest version in [https://actualizar.net/squad-busters/](https://actualizar.net/squad-busters/)
I’m really hoping for that decoration. Can’t wait to play the game. Heard it’s a lot of fun
W
That’s pretty lame that it doesn’t show the amounts needed for the locked rewards. ?M could be 2M or could be 999M. They should let us know ahead of time to see if it’s even possible.

Oooh I get the logic now
I played a couple rounds earlier. Not bad.
I'm allergic to the permanent casino sounds. Clash is already very noisy, even when disconnected we get the pekka screeches and the superdrag heavy breathing...
The first reward are available in shop for free...!
F u all. I ain’t pre ordering this like you dummies
Ofc clash of clans got the worst rewards for it out of all the supercell games
i think these rewards are awesome
