If I was playing under this format when I went to Th10, I probably would have quit. the amount of elix needed is insane and you just cant get it quickly anymore. They have turned it into a grind worse than walls/heroes. So I cant really help you jomar. Keep logging in and collecting resources. I have been doing that in SW commander and actually just decided today that I am probably going to delete that app. It has gotten a lot better but with no FBG support and squad, it just isnt fun

 
I would agree with Patrick. Drop your cups to silver and just try to gibarch. See if it gets you anywhere. If not I wouldn't blame you for throwing in the towel.

I don't think I've profited any elixir since the update.

 
Some big changes and they at least acknowledge they messed something up with war matchmaker. In my rwcs war we drew the most hopeless matchup for the other clan ever. They broke something.

I think I'm done with the game until (and if) they return it to something similar to what it was.

I just upgraded to TH10 a week before the update. My issues now are that if I want to gain resources, I have to train a war army which costs at least 180k elixir. each attack will cost my another 100k elixir in spells so I'm spending 280k elixir. I can find bases with 450k/450k/2500 pretty easily but I can only get about half of that loot. so I'm gaining 225k/225k/1250 lets say. With win bonus I can get to break even or just above my 280k elixir depending on how well my attack went. I'm usually getting matched up with more developed TH10's so sometimes I don't even get half of the loot. anyway, I can't make any ground on elixir without expending massive amounts of time building it little by little. as I build my resources I'm also getting attacked and losing anywhere from 100k/100k/1000de to 250k/250k/2500de. so anything I'm making up on the attack side, I'm losing on the other side.

I have army camps to upgrade and a lot of research to do, which all costs massive amounts of elixir. It'll take me at least a month or two of hard work to gain (and keep) 7.5M elixir for a wiz upgrade. I don't have the time, nor is it any fun, to do that. last thing I want is a game that's not fun and that's what CoC has become.

in the forums I keep seeing people talking about all of the loot but any time I see a screenshot, they are gaining very little elixir and usually that's with max troops at TH10, which I don't have. So I think I'm kinda stuck and simply don't want to put in the massive amount of work it will take to keep progressing. of course I could buy a bunch of gems and do it that way but I'm not giving these people a dime of my money at this point.

anybody have any ideas to get me unstuck, I'd love the hear them. I don't see a way through other than to play this game for hours and hours trying to gain more than I lose. no thanks...
I feel your pain buddy, especially when it comes to saving up for big upgrades.

I've just gone into full war mode, I don't even really raid anymore. I empty my collectors and build my war army or pour them into walls. My heroes are still low enough (11/11) that I can upgrade those from time to time, but otherwise I've gotten Supercell's hint and bugged out from the day-to-day grind.

The whole update smelled of a cash grab to me. But hey, that's what businesses are in business for, to make money. Maybe they saw that membership was lagging and made the game a little more "you have to buy gems to get ahead now, farming/raiding just isn't going to get it done". I don't know. The day to day play outside of warring is kind of depressing now.

I love the whole war aspect, and it's socially fulfilling because our clan is guys from work (and some of their family members). So I'm not deleting the app or anything (until they screw that up).

On the plus side, not playing the day to day grind has given me some free time for reading. Currently halfway through Alan Sepinwall's "The Revolution Was Televised". Pretty good read and worth the buy if you were on the fence.

 
I would've liked to see them implement the PBT counter for a while before tweaking the break/guard durations. Not sure the latter will be a net improvement.

That said, a 2-hour guard will be nice in T3, as it means you can go all out on the attack that consumes the remainder of your shield, and then have heroes fully rested for defense under VG. I've been spending a couple nickels a day on that.

 
I think you will have to roll with DE heavy armies to accumulate elixer. Definitely a concern for those needing to upgrade with it. I am lucky, just have max dragon left to do.

My elixer has been completely flat while I have compiled about $12M gold.

 
With these changes what is the point of the village guard? They could just reduce the shield reduction from attacks scaled by leauge and dispense with it altogether.

 
I made the jump to TH10 this morning. I'm tired of getting smashed for max loot so I pushed the button. I guess I'll slowly grind out the gold for infernos in a lower league if it's more profitable.

 
Been having some luck the last two nights looting. I dropped trophies down to Gold II, and been looting with 1 max golum, 4 quake, and the rest archers. Usually have my King and Queen, both at lvl15. Basically I've been picking off smaller amounts - going after bases with some loot in the collectors, just grabbing whats available there, and then using the golum and quake to get into a base where I can pick up 80-100K or more of each. Basically the slow and steady wins the race approach.

Have been able to raid about 2 mil of each the last 2 days, and have lost about 250k in raids on my base.

 
I was low in cups, like 1000 low. Just started a big upgrade, so I have no resources. So I thought I would take a shot at getting to the allstar league and getting those 2000 gems for my last builder.

But climbing trophies is slow. Forget that I will be losing resources, unless you steamroll a base, you get 10 or less cups. And if you get hit and lose 25, your 3 attacks only breaks you even before you lose your shield.

I'm best off to just stay low in cups and get resources.

 
Real quick on new update. Ran 2 war attacks this morning and when done, still had full army & spells in barracks when I got back. Watch witches, after 2nd spawn mine only put out 1 Larry for lvl3 witch. Not sure if that is a glitch or the new nerf.

SC glitch sure came at a good time for Jonathan in Honda this morning.

Got home late last night and couldn't get his 1st attack in - woke up this morning and was worried he wouldn't get home from school in time to get in his 2nd in - Insta-Army glitch let him get both attacks in back to back. Even gave him a 3rd Insta-army which he used in a raid to take down a resource rich base. Got one happy 9 year old off to school.

 
Obscenely long queen walks meeting up with a kill squad using EQ to open the core seems to be the way forward for TH10. The 3+1eq and a rage for the healer queen is really strong. From that point there are lots of options depending on what you can actually kill on the walk and initial push in.

 
not finding much loot today what is going on
They actually patched PBT to work right so people that were getting kicked out incorrectly (happened to me a few times) is not happening. Just wait till they double village guard if they haven't done so already (I haven't checked to see if that made it in this patch)

Where you raiding?

Masters 1 looting still alive and well.
stil in masters.. seeing a lot of clouds might need a reboot
finding the loot hasnt been any issues. Keeping it is. I nexted a bunch of 400,000 bases this morning bc I was already maxed in gold and elix. I was just looking for over 3,000 DE. Found it to the tune of 4300 plus a 900 bonus

 
so I just hit bk 40 my royals are finished,, do I need to farm de anymore? not sure if warden requires de at all?!?!

Nope. Not only that, but you should consider leaving your DE storage out. You will have more DE than you want. Even donating a lot of DE troops and rolling with 3000+ DE armies, and even getting raided regularly now, I have been over max lootable DE ever since I finished my BK. There is no where to sink it. It is a strange feeling after being obsessed with conquering DE for so long.

Leaving the storage out will get you some defenses toward 'unbreakable' achievement (as if anyone cares about that). But if you ever decide to push cups it can fast forward you to Champs1. At that level, no longer will anyone hand you cups for DE (they will go for the star nearly 100% of the time regardless). Then you bring the DE in to serve simply as a high-HP obstacle to protect key core buildings.

 
If not for war loot pretty sure I would have gone bankrupt on elixer by now. Don't think masters is sustainable for th10. Need to get out of th11 range farming the warden.

Funny corollary to this -

Before the update, I had left my DE storage out next to my exposed TH, both surrounded by flags to prove they were untrapped. Go ahead and enjoy my DE and cups, just leave my elix and gold alone, please.

Three of the first four attacks, no lie, sniped my TH and ended the attack before touching the 3000 free DE right next to it. Probably scripters of course, but it was still funny to see enemy BK's shun my DE like it was toxic waste.
