Wow...4 pages to discuss an already known glitch...mostly because ppl not understanding the glitch are idiots....sorry...less intelligent.
Person has lvl 3 barbs.
Person clicks/taps to upgrade them to lvl 4
maintenance happens at the time they were due to finish (or actually does finish depending on how much the 'builder lag' accounts for)
Person logs back in to lvl 5 barbs.
and repeat for the archers.
They are not going from lvl 4 to lvl 5. They are jumping from 3 to 5...this is what some ppl don't seem to understand.
Granted, getting 1 is lucky, and 2 is very very lucky. However, it's not a h@ck, and SC could indeed rectify the issue if they so wished.
And just to clarify...when they do go to TH8...no they can't upgrade them to 6.
I am just saying I think they patched this giltch earlier this year In one of the updates. Idk
well OK, maybe that's how the glitch is, but the OP said they didn't even have a research lab, right?
edit: oh nvm, I just saw lab in the pic
OMG OMG OMG 500TH POST IM AN ENTHUSIAST
Some people in this thread are really brain dead...
It's a glitch, it's not meant to happen but it does because something went wrong in the programming. He is TH7 and has TH8 tier troops. That's technically impossible right? Yes, but with glitches/bugs really anything is possible.
This glitch has been around for a very long time (even before I quit CoC 2 months ago) and it happens when an upgrade finishes when the game is in maintenance.
To sum this unnecessarily prolonged thread up: "GLITCH!!! GLIIIITTCCHHH!!!!" "Dur? Oh noes haxxors!" "Logical explaination" "Logical explaination" "Nonono! Haxxors!!!!" Repeat.
