Anyone quitting because of this update?

I wanna get in early on this one!!!

 

[culdeus]

Tenative cornhole with Shammy and myself taking form Friday lunch downtown. Yank i know is Dallas proper and shot him a pm. Jason is Fort Worth based IIRC. Can't remember anyone else local, but all are welcome.

 

[Black Box]

I also wonder if the troop engagement thing will apply to hero targeting. Maybe a rollback of sorts?

 

[Cliff Clavin]

The troop targeting is fantastic for Wiz killing drags at lower levels.

 

[culdeus]

Update is live. Get ready for golden hour.

 

[beer 30]

Wow, must have literally missed the maintenance break by seconds. Just ran an attack in our war, walked back to my desk to review and game is down for maintenance break.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Maintenance break !

WOW - 1.5 hours

Definitely the longest one I remember

Wait...what's happening?

Nothing bud, take the mid morning nap, score some jello at lunch, bingo with the crew at the home around 1 and you should be set.

Ok good. Thought I missed something. Thanks partner

How was our war going? I never got a chance to check.

We're up and heading in the right direction but they woke up and are making a game of it, 45-38 I think before the break. I think our goal is 51-52, they are going to need to be pretty perfect to get to 51. Could use a patented Bucky TANGO DOWN when it comes back up.

#5 is most definitely a 3*

All yours, make it so...in 25 or so minutes

 

[Black Box]

Got the update from the Play Store, but the game itself is still under maintenance.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Update botched my phone. Had to reboot...

 

[culdeus]

omg the loot

 

[sartre]

That is the first time I've ever been on the instant a maintenance break ended.

Over the next ~25 minutes, I made over 4 million each of gold and elix, and about 30k DE. Just ridiculous.

Still some out there but it is fading fast.

Not even close to this but found some good scores. Dropped a lot of cups but oh well free DE with barch

They should seriously consider an hour maintenance break once a month!!! Raiding like this is a blast and gets me excited playing the game.

 

[culdeus]

For sure they changed the single player matchmaking. Seeing ways more th9 now.

 

[SkyRattlers]

Game says I need to update but there is nothing new in the app store for me.

I had this problem Sky and had to reboot my phone or delete the app and reinstall it. Cost me 20 minutes.

RIP TH8.

They overdid the lightning damage. Alot.

Check powerbang's live stream now. He's losing his ####.

There is the overreaction we're looking for!

 

[culdeus]

Does anyone have the non-overreaction on this? What has this done to TH8 exactly?

I'll look at it later, but the zap strength was turned up alot.

 

[culdeus]

Looks like a 2xzap 1xeq with L5 zap and any level eq can take out any level anti air.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Yep

Max AD has 1170 HP

One Max Zap does 560 HP in damage

Early posts declare the end of Mass drag at th678. I tend to agree. This will have a dramatic impact on th8 war.

Honda is probably pooping it's pants though. Monster monster hit to th8 drags

 

[culdeus]

So question is there any reason to upgrade zaps past L5? Need to see the eq math but right now I don't see one.

 

[Worm]

Is this correct/confirmed?

I don't see in the official game notes where it says EQ does 25% minimum.

Well I tested it with 2x lvl 5 zap + 1x lvl 1 EQ vs. lvl 6 defense and it worked.

 

[culdeus]

This is absolutely broken. I just don't know why they felt the need to do this.

 

[Chappy]

Honda mates I can't access the game at all. Won't update, won't load. I'll keep trying, Irish Assassins.

 

[JNox3]

Not sure about the rest of Honda but I definitely pooped my pants. They have diapers for that sort of thing though. It's not that bad. You should try it. You can raid A LOT longer with diapers

 

[EYLive]

So in theory (TH9) if there are 2 AD's close enough together to hit with an EQ, you can pack 4 lvl5 zaps and take them both out? Leaving 2 AD's to be lavalooned?

Literally just did this in HONDA war and 3* a TH9 with my lvl 4 drags.

Here's the other thing people have figured out. Lets say you double zap a max AA with max zaps. 2xzap and eq another one.

Well if you send two lava hounds at the one that you didn't eq that AA has just 4 seconds to live assuming it makes it through all the bombs and other dps to hit it and kill that AA with just the hound not really caring about what happens to it after that. (use for a cc pull maybe)

Now you send a golem kill team to the queen and another AA and you spent a hound a golem and heroes 9 of 11 spell slots, have three air defenses down and the queen down leaving you a freeze/rage for the core.

Start hiding everything.

Someone has made the zapquake math into a nice little graphic

Nice

Would love to see the same type of chart for the effects of EQ on all levels of walls. Like how many max EQ spells to take out Lv7 purple walls?

 

[culdeus]

I'm hoping someone figures out if you quad quake near an inferno how many zaps it takes to finish it off. That has potential to make no th10 safe.

If it's more than 1 my inclination is that it's probably not worth it unless you can hit both infernos with the quake. I'd rather take 2 jumps and 2 freeze than 4 quakes and 2 plus lightning, I think.

 

[sartre]

I'm hoping someone figures out if you quad quake near an inferno how many zaps it takes to finish it off. That has potential to make no th10 safe.

A quad-quaked max inferno should have 1220 hp remaining. So it would still need 3 zaps to finish it.Of course you could now take out an inferno with 3 zaps* and 1 EQ, but that doesn't seem cost-effective.

*(assuming all bolts connect, not sure about this since inferno is only 2x2.)

ETA : assuming L4 quake for the math in this post

 

[Clayton Gray]

No. There will never be a time to have L6 lightning.

 

[sartre]

It will be too late for me, but raiding might briefly be exceptional again in about an hour. Many of the bases that floated up after the maintenance break will have 12-hour shields expiring.

Might be the last chance for good loot for a while. At least for the TH10. Because all TH10 have a sink again for gold/elix in the new wall pieces. Not to mention the typical drought period that can last a week or more after an update.

Heads up -- another ripple in about 40 minutes.

 

[Instinctive]

Caught that. Had a dead base right about when you said haha.

Trying to decide on next lab. Options:

Zap6

Haste2

Earthquake2

Poison3

Dragon4

Minion - max

Golem - max

Wallbreaker - max

I want to keep pouring my DE into heroes right now, so I'm leaning to zap or dragon. Wondering just how interesting dragons are going to become, so leaning that way. Anyone else have thoughts?

Culdeus and Yank are good people! Nice sharing some beer with you fellas. That bbq joint saw amazing. I had Culd do an "on sight raid" for my second war attack. Dang near 3 *'d that th10! Lol.Good stuff.

 

[thecatch]

Dragon 4 is really helpful for war CCs.

Between lightning and dragon, I would lean toward dragon first. Simply because it is not yet evident where an upgraded lightning would benefit a TH10 outside of a dragon attack, which you probably shouldn't attempt until your dragons are maxed.

ETA: and c-jay has a great point about CC donations as well.
