culdeus 7,286 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Absolutely right. Unless you raid with full war armies 5+ times per day, you're not going to accumulate any loot.How you play:Don't raid, collectors only: get hit 2x per day for max loot (higher losses than before). Loot in your storages should settle around a 1 million or so of each for TH9 - won't go higher than that. No way to save for upgrades.Raid 1x per day: get hit 2x for day for max loot, same as above.Raid 2x per day: get hit 3x per day for max loot, same as above.Raid 3x per day: get hit 3x per day for max loot, you're still losing money because of the cost of war armies.Raid 4x per day: get hit 3x per day for max loot, you're around breakeven here.Raid 5x per day, get hit 3x per day for max loot, you should be making a slight profit at this point.Raid 6x or more, per day, with max armies: this should be profitable overall, even though you'll be getting hit hard 4x or more per day.Supercell is - almost certainly unintentionally - massively increasing the elixir sink in the game, encouraging people to spend more elixir building strong armies. All elixir upgrades will be much harder to save for. They're also slightly increasing the gold sink due to rearming traps. The league win bonus changes appear to be a slight net DECREASE in the amount of league bonus people will be earning (not that many attacks go to 70%...).So:substantial increase in elixir sinkslight increase in gold sinksubstantial increase in dark elixir sink (building war armies again...)No corresponding increase in input into the system.Overall, building your base will be harder for EVERYONE, and much harder if you raid less than 5x per day. A lot of casual players will settle into the approximate breakeven zone, where they raid every day, get raided every day, and do not accumulate resources, especially elixir, so they will be unable to upgrade their bases. It will be nearly impossible to save 6+ million elixir for the higher upgrades.permalink Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still get a decent bonus, can attack twice without breaking my shield then could stay active for an hour or so when I don't have a shield (like I do today), and can get a shield when some idiot drops all his troops in one spot and his attack fails miserably.

My base isn't going to be bleeding resources uncontrollably. especially the boldedThe game needs to be balanced to the point where the results you get from farming can allow you to afford upgrades. The way they had it was imperfect, but the changes are nothing more than a way to make the game more expensive to afford virtually everything. If, they made the entire upgrade tree cheaper, which there's no sign they will do so then fine. But it's going to be a long slow slog to get resources, especially elixer and dark, without doing the most mindless boring raids. And this is without being raided for loot, which may or may not really be the issue depending on where people settle for farming.A much more fair system would have simply beenTH now holds 20% of your loot. Leave it out and lose 20% of the cap right there. TH alone doesn't give you a shield but does at least give the attacker a star. Need some X% for a shield, hell leave it at the old system.Keep everything else the same and tell me how that's not a more fair and balanced system than what is currently upcoming? And who is going to explain all this to a kid? It's insanely complicated for what was a fairly simple game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Clavin 3,182 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Absolutely right. Unless you raid with full war armies 5+ times per day, you're not going to accumulate any loot.How you play:Don't raid, collectors only: get hit 2x per day for max loot (higher losses than before). Loot in your storages should settle around a 1 million or so of each for TH9 - won't go higher than that. No way to save for upgrades.Raid 1x per day: get hit 2x for day for max loot, same as above.Raid 2x per day: get hit 3x per day for max loot, same as above.Raid 3x per day: get hit 3x per day for max loot, you're still losing money because of the cost of war armies.Raid 4x per day: get hit 3x per day for max loot, you're around breakeven here.Raid 5x per day, get hit 3x per day for max loot, you should be making a slight profit at this point.Raid 6x or more, per day, with max armies: this should be profitable overall, even though you'll be getting hit hard 4x or more per day.Supercell is - almost certainly unintentionally - massively increasing the elixir sink in the game, encouraging people to spend more elixir building strong armies. All elixir upgrades will be much harder to save for. They're also slightly increasing the gold sink due to rearming traps. The league win bonus changes appear to be a slight net DECREASE in the amount of league bonus people will be earning (not that many attacks go to 70%...).So:substantial increase in elixir sinkslight increase in gold sinksubstantial increase in dark elixir sink (building war armies again...)No corresponding increase in input into the system.Overall, building your base will be harder for EVERYONE, and much harder if you raid less than 5x per day. A lot of casual players will settle into the approximate breakeven zone, where they raid every day, get raided every day, and do not accumulate resources, especially elixir, so they will be unable to upgrade their bases. It will be nearly impossible to save 6+ million elixir for the higher upgrades.permalink I copied it from Reddit. But interested to see where you find faultWell, pretty much all of it.

The Future Champs 2,606 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 ftr, CoC isn't a zero sum game. The amount of loot lost is equal to the amount of loot gained (maybe; it seems likely that the game must create fake bases to attack at times), but there are also collectors constantly producing loot, plus league bonuses, with the offsetting cost of building armies. This would almost impossible if it were a true zero sum game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clayton Gray 2,112 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 In all seriousness, if you want to push, then push. If you want loot, gibarch in gold, silver, bronze. It looks like you won't have both anymore.Barch is boring. I will probably run an auto barch bot till they ban me and quit.How long have you been modding war attacks? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Harry Manback 958 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Waiting the happy spin from anyone.Given that it's almost entirely a zero-sum game, it's impossible for it to be both harder to get loot and harder to keep loot.Not at all. Armies cost elixer, re-arming traps costs gold. You raid more and you get raided more. It also costs gold to next for that "perfect" base.A max level army could push 300k elixer to run, including spells maybe higher.Re-arming traps after getting decimated could cost over 100k in gold. I've nexted over 100 times to find a decent base before as well.That means you are netting far less than you are losing. Without being able to sit on a shield at will (Leaving TH outside) and collecting from your collectors it means you're forced to treat this game like a job if you don't want to watch your resources whittled away to nothing.

Pigskin Fanatic 574 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 as a semi-casual players who like to binge once in awhile, I finally read the sneak peak notes and it isn't as bleak as it looked at first. the big change immediately is the obvious new base we need to put up to try to make it easier to get that 30% shield. once that's done the Personal Break system potentially gives up to an hour of playtime without getting attacked, which is a decent window for at least 3 gibarch attacks.1. hit 3 hour play time and get the PB notice. start clock.2. in 6 minutes be attacked and get a shield, done. or if no shield or no attack at all then get 15 minutes of play time under VG.3. after 15 minutes get another 6 minute PB, rinse repeat 3 times of this.4. after the third extension of PB mercy rules kick in and PB is reset so back in the game you go with another VG for 15 minutes.so in an hour either you get a shield or you have a chance to attack without being attacked under VG for 45 minutes. 3 attacks should be more than enough to make loot plus bonus that will far outweigh whatever i should lose to get that shield. defense setup will be important. it's different but i'm starting to see how this can be exploited, albeit it'll be more time specific as to when I hit those PB's if at all. with the league bonuses going up AND having to get to 70% for the full bonus, at least from Crystal and up getting a shield will eventually become a norm again without the snipes imo. this definitely promotes trophy pushing more than anything else.
