Make level 5 springs bounce off 20 troop space because single troop differences are pretty worthless. Being able to rid one more giant or hog would make the upgrade scale almost seem worth it. Another way to help it seem worthwhile is to make the traps release faster with upgrades. Make it less likely that a fast troop like a valk can run over it without being effected. Right now the cost vs effect is pretty lopsided and needs adjustment.
I'm not sure where I stand on this one - as much as I'd love to see springs to be more reliable, I think 20 is just a bit too much, let me explain - attackers usually take anywhere from 10-25 giants, just imagine all of these giants grouped together step on 6 spring traps, that's like 120 housing space of units in the air. As much as I don't think it'd affect TH 10 or 11, think small, for example TH 8, where the max you can have is 200 - you're left with 80 housing space, which is not even nearly enough to finish off the base
1. i agree with the seemly uselessness of the upgrade. it seems more like inventing something to keep maxed out bases busy for a while
2. increasing the value to 20 will affect the game too much as explained above.
therefore, i would say, save the useless upgrade for the last.
You're talking about a) a perfect storm where every spring trap hits a separated pod of four giants each which doesn't hold water statistically, and b) the difference between losing 24 giants and losing 18 giants out of a 200 troop army..the attack was done after the 18 giant loss as that player would be lucky to have more than a handful left...it isn't really more done by losing 6 more giants
If it isn't already, the tiers of spring upgrades should be limited per TH, just like everything else. Those of us at TH10 and 11 can enjoy being able to toss a few more giants and hogs with our pretty, steel-rimmed springs, and those still down at TH8 don't even have to worry about the scenario of their 200 troop army being even more-so decimated by some fantasy spring layout that miraculously takes out every giant on the map.
The cost/benefit ratio is super skewed...I don't care if my spring throws four more archers...it isn't worth tens of millions of gold to get me there. The ability to get to a tier where I can throw one more giant makes it seem almost worth it. However, the increased reaction time is actually the more costly revision to me, and makes it all worth while. I can't stand when a group of valks dances over a spring and take out several key defenses that they should have never been allowed to get to.
If you're going to make me pay for an upgrade...then make it something I want, and not a gimmick to keep maxed players busy for a few more weeks, as was a good point mentioned above.
ok. we are all agreeing on one thing: there is need for work on the upgrading of the spring trap (situations like this are very rare on this forum where we have different ideas, but literally agree on the same thing). so supercell, get to work! :D
spring traps are very useful when placed well. if your spring trap didn't work it means a troop was probably raged or landed on a corner of the spring. to remedy this use walls between defenses so troops r forced to go over the spring trap. i personally think witches should not be affected by spring traps as they float over the ground. skellitons should trigger spring traps, but only when large amount of them go over the spring at the same time. this would force higher TH levels to not make silly wide open bases. so many of these high level players complained when mass witches where 3⭐️one their bases. So what did supercell do? supercell listened to the high rollers who spend thousands of dollars rather then correctly balance the troop and it witches became useless for a long time. please supercell make witches and spring traps balanced, then everyone wins.
ya, for the spring traps, might be we need the speed up to catch fast troops and slower troops.
can make it better for the price.i hope to see they can catch the goblin once they step on it 😂
I agree, spring traps need to be better. <--my opinion
Hello,
Spring traps are fine the way they are. The problem IMO is that the number of available spring traps does not grow proportionally to the size of the TH. For example:
TH8 -
Spring traps: 6
Walls: 225
Attacking troops: 225 (200 army + 25 cc)
TH11 -
Spring traps: 6
Walls: 300
Attacking troops: 275 (240 army + 35 cc)
So, I suggest they shift the number of available spring traps to "8" at TH11, for a matter of proportion.
Yes some adjustments should be done
