I must say playing this beta has made me realise how much I took for granted the 6 man parties we used to be in - that and the fact I used to be good at call of duty [emoji23] It has been pretty fun playing the beta; not going to get the game but was fun to give it a go.

Thanks! And I'd say it is worth it, the game is fun to play every once in a while. I'd say just experiment with stuff; I've had heaps of fun doing that - try earthquake spells; they aren't the best but they are awesome to use [emoji16] Cheers! Yeah I get what you mean, can be very demoralising when they decide to go on a merry-go-round. I've only used the witches strategy a few times although I've been wanting to give it a go more lately. Just scary when a wayward giant bomb takes a bunch out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just posted one up. I am not TH10 yet so I can't say for sure that this is the best way to attack TH10s but I have attacked a few TH10s and it seems to work. Correct placement of the freeze spell is very important. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Corey’s GoWiPE Clash of Clans Guide Before I start this guide there are few things I want to say: Everyone has their unique variations of this style of attack, I have people in my clan that use different styles. There is not necessarily a ‘best’ option but I feel this is the most optimal. Following on from the first point; the most important thing is to make the attack your own. Find out what works for you and enjoy yourself coming up with different options. Think of this guide as a starting point! Although this is written from a TH9 perspective the same basic principles can be applied to TH8’s and TH10’s. The basics of the GoWipe Troop composition: 3x Pekka (75) 16x Wizards (64) 8x Wall breaker (16) 5x Archer (5) 2x Golem (60) 1x Golem in Clan Castle (30) Total = 220/220 Army camp, 30/30 Clan castle Alternatively if you don’t have 30 spaces in clan castle you can train an extra golem yourself in place for 1 pekka, 1 wizard and 1 archer. Request for a pekka in your war clan castle. For a TH8 Gowipe you will want to run 2x Pekka, 17x Wizards, 8x Wall breakers, 6x Archers, 2x Golem with an extra pekka in clan castle. Spell Composition: There are four general spell composition I run; it depends on the base I am attacking… Low TH9’s/Potential 3 Stars: 3 rage, 1 heal, 1 poison OR 4 rage, 1 poison Solid TH9’s w/ large sections of defences: 3 rage, 1 heal, 1 poison Solid TH9’s w/ multiple small sections of defences and/or gaps: 2 rage, 1 heal, 1 jump, 1 poison OR 3 rage, 1 jump, 1 poison Generally, I prefer the use of the jump spells in the GoWipe but if you are going for 3 stars or the enemy base is open in terms of walls it is sometimes better to run directly offensive spells instead. If you are a TH8 use 2 rage, 1 heal and 1 poison If you are a TH10 I would personally use a freeze spell as the extra spell. Save it for when you pekka, king and queen are in the centre and try freeze the inferno towers. Attacking with the GoWiPE First steps: Ideally you want to attack in the direction that gives you the quickest, clearest route to the enemy TH. However, in saying this you want to attack on the side with the queen; this is because the queen has a tendency to drag troops* - so by attacking in her direction you can solve this problem easily. You also want to be trying to avoid the clan castle at first as this is a high HP structure that can distract troops for a considerable amount of time. *Dragging troops is when the queen will hit your troops from behind a defence and stop the troops attacking that structure (perhaps townhall) and make them move to her which can be detrimental to the attack. EXAMPLE: As you can see in this example I am attacking on the side of the queen and avoiding the clan castle. Beginning the Attack: The first step is to place the golems, this should be done in a line with relatively even spacing between them The second step is to place the wizards behind the golems to take out the structures. Place them in a line similar to how you did with the golems. Try and save 2-4 wizards for clean up later in the attack. The third step is to place a rage spell on the central golem and wizards, try and just clip the edge so a lot of the rage spell is within the base. The fourth step is to begin to place the wallbreakers. They should be placed in groups of two in 2-3s intervals. This tries to make sure that you get the most value out of them. If they are placed too late they will run to the side walls but if they are placed too early they will all go after the same wall. EXAMPLE: In this example the yellow numbers represent the golems, the red line represents where the wizards should be placed and the purple circle is the placement of the rage spell. The white star represents where the wall breakers should be placed. The Middle of the Attack: This is the most important part of the attack. Correct placement of the pekkas and heroes can make or break the attack. After the first line of defences has been destroyed you should ideally have a hole in the side of their base - this is where you want to place your big chickens. The king should go down first, followed quickly by the pekkas. Hold on to the queen for a bit, survey if she is needed immediately or can be withheld and placed somewhere else for better effect. Most of the time though she should be placed behind the king and pekkas. The usage of spells is explained in the example. However you will want to place the poison spell on their clan castle troops when they have stopped moving and begin to attack your troops. Usually it is good to draw these troops out but the GoWiPE needs all the time it can get so clearing the CC troops while attacking is needed. IMPORTANT: For a TH8 GoWipe composition it is important to draw out the CC troops first. The archers should be used to destroy structures in the corner and others that are not in the range of defences. This should net you an extra ~6% EXAMPLE In this example the black X’s represent structures that should ideally already be destroyed. The letters represent the relative troop (K=King, Q=Queen, P=Pekka). Placement of the spells can vary a lot of attack to attack. Ideally you want to use your second rage and/or first heal on the middle section of the base. The jump spell should be used to allow access to the centre area of the base, if wall breakers managed to breach the center save the jump spell for when the troops try to leave the centre area. The white represents examples of buildings where archers should be placed. During the Attack The placement/usage of the remaining spells is rather subjective for the rest of the attack. Rage when you think your troops need a boost and heal when you do. Make sure to wait on the king to get lower on health so you can take advantage of his healing ability - he is a great tank for your pekkas and queen. The usage of the Queen’s ability is crucial so make sure you only use it when her death is 100% definite - try and hold on to it for as long as possible. Final Comments I may add more on to this guide in the near future but for now I think this will do. I did it in a bit of a rush so if I made any errors feel free to point it out. The format of the writing is a bit weird as I copy and pasted from google drive but hopefully you don't mind it too much. If you have any questions also feel free to ask and if you want me to make a guide for another sort of attack I will also endeavour to make it. Practice makes perfect, this attack takes patience and it may not go your way initially but after some time I promise you will be kicking butt in no time.

That was an awesome final game! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah nah, Call of Duty is still not for me. I think the last one I got was ghosts? I just don't enjoy playing the game anymore. MW2 probably had the most bullcrap in it but at least it had an identity. I think Call of Duty lost itself trying to compete with fundamentally superior games. I definitely will not be buying this game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll write one up later today or tomorrow. Got to do some study for a test this week so may be a bit delayed. I have seen a GoHo but never used it myself; I don't really think it is the most optimal set up but some people can get it to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries! Yeah dragons tend to be the best for TH8s although they do tend to drop off towards later TH8. If you are getting rather far into TH8 and feel like you'll be moving onto TH9 in like a month I'd suggest using a TH8 gowipe. It is basically the same as mine, but I run one less golem overall and fill the CC with the 3rd pekka, and for spells 2 rage, 1 heal with a poison. Learning these attacks are really important for TH9 and it is good practice start of them at TH8. Also I personally think they are a lot more fun and rewarding than mass dragon because you have to pay more attention throughout the attack. Haha! I am going to be going to TH10 in a little bit. I was going to try and get both my heroes to 20 but I don't have the patience because I can only spend gold and elixir on walls now. 3,000,000 a piece is just torture [emoji23] If anyone wants a mini-tutorial for a gowipe then I'd be glad to help [emoji106]

No worries! I wish there was an ally clan feature; would be fun being able to communicate with the forum fellas on CoC. Also I am curious what do you all use for war attacks? I only really see our clan and some clans that we verse but I am interested to see if you have different styles of attacking? I currently use a GoWipe with: 3x Pekka 16x Wizard 2x Golem 8x Wall breaker 5x Archer 1x Golem in CC With either: 2 rage, 1 heal, 1 jump 3 rage, 1 jump 3 rage 1 heal (With a poison spell on all of them) I find this the best for attacking solid TH9s as you can guarantee a 2 star pretty much and get solid 3 star attacks on lower TH9s.

Chelsea have been playing very flat so hopefully pedro can help give them a boost. Also these first two weeks of fantasy have been terrible [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The clan I help run just recently reached level 6 and we use a very similar strategy to what you put Jason. I think that works best. I would suggest you implement a trading option; especially for the top people. Often they are upgrading a king or queen so someone lower may have a better chance of getting their number. So we just state in our chat if we are queenless for example and someone near our numbers will take it out for us. But with the plan you've got you should be winning wars consistently in no time; when we started doing that our wins rocketed up a lot. Just my 2 cents to help out [emoji16] EDIT: Also I find level 4/5 dragons and level 6 balloons now work best for war defence CC's. Used to be wizards and witches but with the poison spells the tanky dragon is superior. Can also replace with Valkyries if someone has them to a higher level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are the codes region locked? Is just EU and NA? I just tried iGotMollyWhopped's code and it didn't seem to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the season begins! Any early picks for winners? I'm hoping my lovely Chelsea can do the repeat but Arsenal look threatening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently started playing this game as well. It is a fun game to just relax and play a few rounds of when you're bored. Always some "YEEHAW" moments when you get the 1 card you need to win the match. I don't want to spend money on the game and I don't want to invest too much time playing the game to unlock everything but definitely worth giving a go in my opinion.

Just thought I'd drop this here [emoji16] 1,312,771 in total; most I have ever gotten before by a bit [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't wait! I loved the previous games! I hope DICE keeps true to the spirit of them; on paper it does sound like the perfect match though so I optimistic fingers crossed

Awesome! I am free on your Monday, maybe Tuesday depending on what time.

If you guys wouldn't mind I'd like to join in on a raid! I have done parts of them but never completed them because we don't have enough people. I am level 30 now, not the most experienced but I can hold my own and will do what I am told

Very sorry for your loss, it is always hard losing a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Very slight spoilers

Looks like it could be quite good! I'll keep my fingers crossed but it will be hard for it to live up to Breaking Bad which people will definitely try and compare it to.

I agree with Destiny! I just got it last week and haven't really stopped playing it haha! You wont need the DLC right away but will need it like 3 or 4 days from what I experienced. Oh and Trials Fusion could be a fun one for you if you are into those games. Completing all the tracks is a lot of fun and doing the track challenges afterwards will take a lot of time to do - challenging but rewarding in my opinion

Might be a bit late replying to this but the main reason I stopped playing LoL was due to most of my friends playing Dota 2 instead. I also happen to like Dota more just because I feel like there is a lot more ways to win and ways to change a teamfight. I do play LoL on random occasions though, if I could remember my details for my NA account I would definitely enjoy playing with you guys. The community does really suck though, when I play as soon as someone says a negative comment I just mute them because I can't be bothered, and I play whatever I feel like now in terms of champion - I will fill the role I need to play and try but wont pick the 'best' champions like some team mates think are necessary. Like others have said the learning curve isn't actually too bad in LoL, it is definitely really weird at first if you are coming from FPS games and such but once you get used to moving around with the birds eye view it doesn't take too long. Dota 2 is much more hardcore which is why when I was learning MOBAs I went to LoL from Dota 2 but as I got better I found myself moving back to Dota 2.

Very sad news to hear - he will go down as one of the greats. RIP.
