Clash of Clans is due for a big update, the Town Hall 11 update, Supercell hinted numerous changes to shields, base defence and trophies features along with many others that are to be released with the new update. The new update will surely change the way the game is played, however not all changes are welcomed by Clash of Clans fans around the world. Jonas, a Clash of Clans developer, gave an interview to provide general details about the update and reasons behind it, this may also be directed for those who were not very keen about the changes which are due to take place with the new update to clear things up. Jonas believes that the new update will make the game easier to play the game and it will be a long-term effort to make the game better and keep its players happy.

One of the reasons for the update is that ‘Town hall shields’ work are making players want to ‘vanish’ to protect their base, and he pointed out that the issue of farming will not change as much as people think it will, as many users have taken their reaction to reddit and other forums claiming that farming will pretty much die after the update.
