Hard to not doubt when the game is... a mess, everyone is complaining about heroes, how it's stupidly more p2w than ever, and how the game is losing players
Oh, but I mean like I was joking, I did know that you weren't any SuperCell employees, because I don't think any of them post anything on Reddit, or else a storm of angry players would follow them, and ridicule them about how greedy they are.
oy vey! that is no politically correct lang for white european clash nobility such as yourself.
We tracked your supercell ID and replaced all your 4* with 5* maybe now you're gonna learn that your bank account.. supercell acc I mean.. was promised to us in 2016Ā
No thatās no how it works if he has 1682 gems and the upgrade requires 609, itās 1682 out of 609 (1682/609) because ā/ā means out of for example if you have 4 out of 8 pieces of pie itās 4/8
It makes more logical sense to have it flipped, why would you want it showing incorrectly? In this format you always have the amount being taken from your pool of resources, but instead theyāre doing it backwards for some reason.
Itās just strange, not really a problem it just takes time to get used to.
Also, this isnāt about the second number being smaller than the first, itās showing the required amount of gems to upgrade the card as the denominator, & the amount of gems you have as the numerator.
So if you needed 1000 gems, and had 400, it would be 400/1000. This makes sense. But for some reason, people donāt like it to overflow, which in my opinion is better because you can reference the amount of gems you have without having to close out of the upgrade screen, to see if you want to spend the gems on it or not. I.e. 10k gems & you see plainly that you have 10000/1000 gems, or more than the required 1000 gems. Personally I think the overflow is pretty straightforward.
Edit: in your Imgur link, the card boost potions function the same way. The wild cards would too, if there wasnāt normally a cap on them. Technically itās weird that the card boost shows 14/8, though. You only need one to boost the card temporarily š¤
Edit 2: Alright, completely disregard my message. I was under the impression the rest of the cards displayed in terms of currentResource/requiredResource, not currentResource/maxResource. Thatās pretty dumb to me, I like the way the gem version works better. That said, my entire reply is wrong based on me not knowing that. My bad.
1/2 is different from 2/1. Not the same fraction.
Also, this isnāt about the second number being smaller than the first, itās showing the required amount of gems to upgrade the card as the denominator, & the amount of gems you have as the numerator.

Yea people complained when it was the other way round, now the people complain who think it should be like before. Apparently that's something many people see differently.
I think as it is rn it's right. You have (your gems)/(required gems), meaning when you have 2000/4000 you can upgrade exactly 0.5 cards. When you have 8000/4000 you can upgrade two cards.
Also other magic items work similar with (your cards)/(cap) while the cap could be switched with the required cards but still, the amount you currently have is on top.
Great, I have a college degree too. I also play a ton of games, and know that the norm is to show the price rather than the number of gems you already have.
Thatās disgusting, thatās not how fractions work, it should never be that way. The amount you have should always be the numerator, and the amount required the denominator, thatās how things are displayed. If it overflows that means you have exceeded the amount required.
The people asking for the inverse either havenāt gotten that far in high school maths from age, effort, or their education systems have failed them.
this aint displayed as that. that last sentence is a MASSIVE overexaggeration. i think it should be the amount of gems you owe/the amount of gems you have. that makes perfect sense.
it shouldn't show your total gems. it should just be the cost, and green if you have enough and red if you don't. Having 2 numbers will naturally make some people confused.
Wdym itās supposed to be like that if you have 1681 gems and the upgrade requires 609, itās 1681 out of 609 (1681/609) because ā/ā means out of for example if you have 4 out of 8 pieces of pie itās 4/8. If you have 609 gems then thatās a different story
I beg to differ for this post in particular, it was the other way around back then and yea there were so many ppl complaining about it. The devs then flipped it and now this dude is complaining he wants the old one back
Itās unclear from the post description, but OP left a comment (6 hours after yours so it makes sense you think this is the problem) saying that they only have 609 gems and it hasnāt been flipped for them yet. Either way, would be easier if they only showed required gems.
Honestly I would prefer the first complaints and the devs changing it to what it suppose to look like, realistically. Any further complaints afterwards would leave me speechless
i think āsupposed toā is debatable. logically if the button says āUseā it should show the amount that is being spent first. Required/Owned is the format that makes the most sense. when checking out at a store, the waiter doesnāt ask how much money you have first.
Ultimately I think itās just personal preference, and thereās not really any right or wrong answer.
From what you pointed out, Required amount/Current amount logically makes sense when āspeaking to someone in personā.
But when viewed, I think most ppl in this sub ca agree the opposite looks better since back in primary school, we tend to view our scores (e.g 90/100) this way
there is a difference between scores and currency though. Required/Current is the norm for a reason, people are just comfortable with it in this game because itās been that way for so long.
in your own example, 90/100 makes sense because you have 90 out of 100 maximum points. the difference here is that this isnāt an inventory listing, itās essentially a checkout screen. if this was an inventory list showing how many gems you have out of the max held amount, your way would make sense.
Bro this post makes no sense at all. Its correct, it just looks odd. The rest of the game only shows what you need and if you don't have enough, it turns red.... but it doesn't need to get flipped.
Clarification: colloquially, we'd say we need "x out of a total of y", which usually written as x/y.
Usually, games would have them denoted as 609/1681 because we need the 609 gems out of the 1681 that we have for the upgrade. Supercell, however, flipped the notation around, and now it makes less intuitive sense.
There's no standardized colloquial order. Its up to individual discretion. People also say "you have x amount out of y amount required". Like saying I have collected $5 out of the $100 I need to buy a pair of headphones. You can also say I need $100 to buy a pair of headphones out of the $5 I have collected. If anything supercell just has to use parenthesis and say (gems owned/total price), so that everyone understands, regardless of order, and it isn't up to arbitrary interpretation.
It shouldnt even show your amount of gems
Should have a button just like gold saying the necessary gems
john whale from supercell support here!
You want to have 609 gems out of 1681? Noted! Change will be activated upon your very next login, have fun!
Yours truly, supercell
Please fix your gameš

I am game.
I lost the game
Bruh....
Greetings,
Your think I got no game? I got mad game brotha, my game is top tier and spot on. Don't youre doubt that bro
Your one and only, Supercell
Bros got all the elixeršŖšŖ
Hard to not doubt when the game is... a mess, everyone is complaining about heroes, how it's stupidly more p2w than ever, and how the game is losing players
Canāt depend on a mf who canāt even spell to be able to save the gameš
Wait, you mean we were supposed to expect a āmfāerā from here to save the game?
Iāve been putting my hopes and dreams into the paid shills, I mean YT content creators, to rally on our behalf.
Iām all fcuked up.
Bro heās not actually supercell supportš¤¦š»āāļø
Ikr, this is what I get for not typing "/s" at the end

intentional indication of /sarcasm popular on reddit to clarify that you're being ironic and not dead serious for people who can't tell
Oh, but I mean like I was joking, I did know that you weren't any SuperCell employees, because I don't think any of them post anything on Reddit, or else a storm of angry players would follow them, and ridicule them about how greedy they are.
Okayš
I assumed so but still

Omg he actually did it, this mad lad
No, it should be flipped. To upgrade you need to pay 609 gems out of your 1682 supply. 609/1682
No thatās no how it works if he has 1682 gems and the upgrade requires 609, itās 1682 out of 609 (1682/609) because ā/ā means out of for example if you have 4 out of 8 pieces of pie itās 4/8
You must be trolling right?
Yeah so you think of the total as your total gems. Numerator is the cost, denominator is your gem pool. It should absolutely be reversed
But the piesā¦
Exactly. So confused everytime and have to think š
fix regional pricing for emotes pls
they got more expensive in my account
Greetings,
Fix your region first. I recommend starting from lowering average salary or decreasing GDP per purchase power parity.
Sincerely, your supercellĀ
Didn't they already fix this? Like, mine shows gems I have on the left and the price on the right.
That's what OP's post is showing. He has 1681 gems and would need to use 609 of those to upgrade
Then why does he want it flipped?
Cuz they don't understand what it's saying
Doesnt even make sense to change it. If it's green you obviously have enough gems
It makes more logical sense to have it flipped, why would you want it showing incorrectly? In this format you always have the amount being taken from your pool of resources, but instead theyāre doing it backwards for some reason.
Itās just strange, not really a problem it just takes time to get used to.
No, they already changed it man.
hereās a screenshot i just took of in-game.
https://imgur.com/a/1S6EGhk
correct me if im wrong:
normally when there is a slash between two numbers like that, itās a proper fraction, as in the denominator is greater than the numerator.
like 1/2 means one out of two. we donāt write that as 2/1.
in this case it is 416 out of my 1390 total, but is written backwards as 1390/416.
1/2 is different from 2/1. Not the same fraction.
Also, this isnāt about the second number being smaller than the first, itās showing the required amount of gems to upgrade the card as the denominator, & the amount of gems you have as the numerator.

Hey, that's where you're wrong. It's still green even if you don't have enough. Source: im broke
Itās just inconsistent with stuff like wild cards where it shows required amount/ maximum capacity
Wild cards show (how much you have) / (max capacity) and gems show (how much you have) / (required amount)
OP confirmed they have 609
Yea people complained when it was the other way round, now the people complain who think it should be like before. Apparently that's something many people see differently.
I think as it is rn it's right. You have (your gems)/(required gems), meaning when you have 2000/4000 you can upgrade exactly 0.5 cards. When you have 8000/4000 you can upgrade two cards.
Also other magic items work similar with (your cards)/(cap) while the cap could be switched with the required cards but still, the amount you currently have is on top.
OP replied to another guy under this post. Supposedly the problem is that OP has 609 and it hasnāt flipped for them.
What? Itās correct. You have x gems and require y, x/y. That makes sense. Why would it be the inverse???
Because the first number is not the price. It feels more intuitive to me for the price to be first.
Really, the best way would just to be not showing the amount of gems you have at all.
I don't have examples, but I feel like it's generally (amount you owe/amount you have) in games where it does show your total.
Definitely not, like Iāve done maths in higher education, I refuse to believe that anybody who is above the age of like 7 thinks like that.
Curious if youāre a native English speaker
I mean I live in the UK, so yeah.
Great, I have a college degree too. I also play a ton of games, and know that the norm is to show the price rather than the number of gems you already have.
exactly, keep it the same as the gold requirement, makes life easy.
Think of it as a fraction. 2/10 means it costs 2 gems and I have 10. It costs 2/10 of my gems to buy.
Well yea, think of it as a fraction. 10/2 means it costs 2 gems and you have 10 meaning you could buy this card 10/2=5 times.
2/10 would mean you have two out of 10 required gems
Thatās actually what I meant. Totally confused myself with the screenshot
Thatās disgusting, thatās not how fractions work, it should never be that way. The amount you have should always be the numerator, and the amount required the denominator, thatās how things are displayed. If it overflows that means you have exceeded the amount required.
The people asking for the inverse either havenāt gotten that far in high school maths from age, effort, or their education systems have failed them.
this aint displayed as that. that last sentence is a MASSIVE overexaggeration. i think it should be the amount of gems you owe/the amount of gems you have. that makes perfect sense.
ts is sooo annoying frrr, i hate it
it shouldn't show your total gems. it should just be the cost, and green if you have enough and red if you don't. Having 2 numbers will naturally make some people confused.
Weird you have a limit?
supercell canāt into UI
Wdym itās supposed to be like that if you have 1681 gems and the upgrade requires 609, itās 1681 out of 609 (1681/609) because ā/ā means out of for example if you have 4 out of 8 pieces of pie itās 4/8. If you have 609 gems then thatās a different story
Thatās the thing, I have 609 gems and it requires 1681. Itās backwards
You just gaslit me into checking my own game. You're just wrong dude
Oh so if thatās the case then yes it needs fixing
Realest post on this subreddit in a minute, rt
this has been posted nonstop since the December update.
I beg to differ for this post in particular, it was the other way around back then and yea there were so many ppl complaining about it. The devs then flipped it and now this dude is complaining he wants the old one back

trust me it isnāt just this dude haha, however i didnāt know people were complaining before. which do you prefer?

Why wonāt it just show the required gems?
that does not generate income for them so no
DEVS KEEP IT PLSSSSSSSS āā( ` į¢ Ā“ )ā āįµįµŹ°įµŹ°įµ
Edit: Dumb dumb devs really fixed it. >:P
They will do this and then boast about how they always listen to their community
damn they actually changed it thank godš
All developer engagement must be tied to a return on investment. That be said, itās on the list of low priority updates, lol
Bro no way that is so much gems
Bro this post makes no sense at all. Its correct, it just looks odd. The rest of the game only shows what you need and if you don't have enough, it turns red.... but it doesn't need to get flipped.
āItās correct but yet looks oddā
itās odd because itās backwards, itās reading right to left which in the English speaking world is backwards

If anything supercell just has to use parenthesis and say (gems owned/total price), so that everyone understands, regardless of order, and it isn't up to arbitrary interpretation.
It's supposed to be confusing so people spend more gems that they intend to. Predatory UI but it is very common in mobile games.
I thought I was loosing my mind the first couple times I looked at it I was like wtf is this wanting from me super confusing
The fact that buying level 16 on a 15 with no cards yet is around 4k gems, or roughly $40, is insane.
If the Americans are irritated by this, then there's something wrong.
They still use MM/DD/YYYY
