Clash of Clans Players Stunned by Massive “Starry Ore” Glitch After October Update

A bizarre bug has rocked Clash of Clans, leaving players in shock — and some a little too rich in Starry Ores. Following the October 2025 update, many players logged in only to find their accounts overflowing with ores every time they used the new Revenge feature.

Within hours, Supercell took swift action, bringing the servers offline to investigate and patch the issue. However, by that time, countless players had already reaped the benefits of what quickly became known as the “Ore Jackpot Glitch.” Unsurprisingly, the rest of the community — those who missed out — weren’t pleased.

How the Glitch Happened

The problem stemmed from a coding error tied to the new Revenge mechanic, which was meant to reward players for retaliating against attackers. Instead, it unintentionally handed out massive amounts of Starry Ore every time the feature was activated, flooding accounts with resources worth far more than intended.

Reports from the community claimed some players received up to $400 worth of Starry Ore, while others boasted about upgrading heroes and spells to record levels in minutes. One player shared that a clanmate boosted their Warden Fireball from level 9 to 23 almost instantly.

Community Divided Over Supercell’s Next Move

As word spread, the Clash of Clans community exploded with debate. Forums and social media platforms filled with memes, outrage, and speculation about what Supercell should do next.

Some players demanded a full rollback to restore fairness, while others called for universal compensation to even the playing field. A few even joked that Supercell should “just leave the bug in” since it made the game more exciting.

However, many agreed that punishing players for taking advantage of a glitch they didn’t cause would be unfair. Others argued that the imbalance it created — with some accounts now far more advanced than others — has damaged the game’s competitive integrity.

A Messy Situation With No Easy Fix

The unexpected bug has left Supercell in a tough position. Removing the excess ores is tricky since many players have already spent or converted them into upgrades. A full rollback could undo hours — or even days — of legitimate progress for everyone.

As one player put it, “Those who got the rewards now feel guilty, and those who didn’t are just angry.” It’s a rare case where everyone feels cheated, regardless of which side they’re on.

So far, Supercell hasn’t issued an official statement about its next steps. While some speculate the developers might set players’ ore counts to negative values (similar to how they handle excess Gems), others believe the company will simply compensate affected users and move on.

An Unforgettable Day in Clash History

What started as a routine update turned into one of the wildest mornings in Clash of Clans history. Players flooded social media with screenshots, disbelief, and plenty of jokes — but beneath the humor lies frustration over the game’s sudden imbalance.

Whatever decision Supercell makes, one thing’s for sure: the Starry Ore glitch will be remembered as one of the most chaotic moments the game has ever seen.
