There's also the comfort in sort of knowing that there isn't a year+ of farming to hammer out upgrades.

This is one of the reasons why I've come around a bit.

I finally maxed out TH10. AQ done, defenses done, BK40 wakes up tonight, and I launched my final lab project this past weekend. I can now leave my DE storage out!

After 22 months of grinding, I was looking forward to the end game. It really irked me that SC was further pushing out the finish line (honestly shouldn't 2 years be enough???).

I too am hopeful that the new upgrades will be limited enough that any additional slog will be short.

Seems wishful thinking considering the max loot storage will be 10,500,000 each.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Th10 is the new th9.

This is correct

 

[culdeus]

Th10 is the new th9.

This is correct

So far all we got is a little better CC and a dark spell. And now we'll be taking it in the ### most likely from this new hero coming down to bully us into 3*.

Feel the same way.

Maxed as well - BK40 will be done within a month. Only 7 more wall pieces to get them all to Level 10. See no reason for Lv11 walls at 4 million per piece - still need same 3 WB for Level 10 or 11.

They just extended the end game for us maxed or close to maxed TH10's

The road just got much longer for current TH8's and TH9's though

 

[=Smackdown=]

With all that said - who else is pushing the TH11 button as soon as it's available? I sure am. Anybody have an upgrade order for new TH11's?

TH11

Lab

Super Skulls?

Hell Hounds?

Wiz Tower

oh my

plenty to do

Unless they add a second lab, any new troop levels would be manageable, it isn't hard to farm even 10 million elix if you only do it twice a month for a couple months.

What would be really disappointing though, is if they increase the max hero levels. It would truly suck if they took away our heroes for war again. If the ceiling was extended to level 50, that's potentially another 20 weeks of grinding DE and warring without both heroes. Ugh, not sure I could stomach that.

What I did not expect was that they would fix the trophy-pushing issues. It seems titan+ should be far more accessible to fair players now, and that opens up a new way of enjoying the game.

 

[AcerFC]

The problem is the same one I had deciding whether to go to 10 or not. My AQ 30 and BK 20 will be way under developed for TH11

My defenses will be OK but no where near max with one round of Archers and cannons left, but it comes down to getting hands on the new toys.

Who really enjoys trophy pushing? I barely enjoy raiding, it's mainly something to do in between war stuff. The only reason to be in higher trophy counts is to chase higher loot bonuses. I can't see any of these changes increasing appeal to the point where farmers convert to pushers.

I would have thought they would release higher volume DE storage today as well, but who knows.

There have been several leaked/rumors that are now assumed to be true that are not officially confirmed among those:

• Healer change to reduce range
• DE storage stays same
• AQ/BK does not get additional levels
• No additional wall level
• New hero upgrades with elixer

 

[Black Box]

I plan on staying at TH10 to max it out at this point. Probably not the walls though.

It's been impossible to enjoy since the system is broken. It has been completely pointless to date. They are taking corrective actions which should give it purpose. Do I really have to outline the reasons for you?

Actually once you have nothing left to upgrade, I'm not sure why you wouldn't push.

So I should push the button for TH10 now?

We probably have 250-300 people tuned into this thread. Not a single one has ever been a sustained pusher, ever.

If there was appeal someone would have found it. Fact is war is a perfectly fine substitute for pushing for the vast vast majority of users. And the changes aren't going to really alter this.

Im kind of with Culdy on this one. Once I got my gems for the achievements, I see very little reason to push. The loot bonus is very little and not worth the time and effort. I do not see the game as broken since I enjoy playing it this way. You and the guy in the video disagree. That is OK.

But I will stop playing if I can not sustain enough loot to upgrade the remaining pieces that I need to. It will not encourage me to attack more. They could tell me that I can attack 1 million times under shield and it wont matter. I like attacking twice a day. If I cant upgrade attacking twice a day and having to have real defenses, Im done with this game. And I would venture to say there are a ton more people like me who will quit as well

The game will be completely different after this update. Nothing to this point is relevant in terms of higher trophy leagues.

We haven't had any pushers in this thread for two obvious reasons: 1) it's been completely pointless under the current system 2) none have maxed out

The fact is the game will now have a more meaningful and fair trophy system. That is simply a bonus for those that have finished with upgrades, and want a new challenge. I'm not at all surprised that that it is beyond your current understanding.

My current understanding is that pushers boost barracks to next through clouds in 6 hour chunks to hopefully 1 or 2 star someone for 1-6 trophies at a time, then logoff and try to get one of their alts to soft shield them even further up the chain. Fun.

The new system changes this to some extent by letting people attack through shields, and even attack through no shield neutralizing at least the effect of auto on software to the extent that it would matter. It also increases the minimum number of trophies available, but isn't clear on whether it remains a zero sum game or if there will be trophy inflation.

While it's great that they are neutralizing mods effects on trophy levels it still remains not really a game of skill at that level, but one of attrition. It's not one that I'm inclined to join in unless there is a farming benefit above my current resting spot.

It's been pointed out that players like myself that farm and get sniped in champs will nearly certainly float up 200-600 trophies without any effort at all. I assume this is by design. After all I think we all know that supercell wants all of us to be GoWiPe pushers gemming armies and if we were just there to see how fun it is we'd all be in cloud chat on boost 24/7.

Have begun saving gold/elixir in preparation for the upgrade next week.

Not just throwing everything into walls - it's beginning to pile up.

1) Have a base ready to go that has the TH inside and protected. Switch to it ASAP after the update drops.

Love the smack being laid down

 

[culdeus]

Played around with 3-4 different trophy bases. Neither one could successfully protect the DE and TH. Pisses me off. Don't see how the casual gamer will ever be able to work on heroes.

I'm gonna guess that farming bases look nothing like bases you've ever seen before

 

[=Smackdown=]

Freeze spell available at TH9

Extra Archer Tower, Cannon, Wizard Tower, Xbow available at TH11

Any examples? Hyper cube was great.

The issue is that no one has played under the coming paradigm, so no one really knows which bases will be good yet.

The base I am going to use initially is basically my farming base, but I made room for the TH shaded on one side. My DE and CC are centralized, and the stores are protected but dispersed throughout the base. My thinking is that the attacker can choose what he wants to get: the TH (not too difficult), the DE (difficult), or hit a few stores (also not too difficult). But whatever he does, I want him to have to hit the 30% threshold and have to use most of his army doing so.

There's already an update version of hc out there. Not sure where you find it, but people were talking about it yesterday

 

[culdeus]

I may try a spawn hole trap style base. Troll style bases will be pretty typical as well.

With an extra eq spell I still think queen walk is the biggest threat nearly no matter what

That sucks. What level does it go to?

 

[Black Box]

Freeze spell available at TH9

That sucks. What level does it go to?

Just level 1. Probably just giving TH9 a chance in farming against TH10. I can't imagine many TH9s will roll with freeze in war against another TH9.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Freeze spell available at TH9

That sucks. What level does it go to?

Only Lv 1

 

[Black Box]

I also think it is safe to assume new levels to Barbs and Archers at TH11. Extra xbow, additional WT level...

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Completely useless then. Sweet.
