Now it seems possible to linger in the high trophy range :D

I pushed my TH8 into Crystal II last night, and am pretty happy with the update changes... I can now easily hang out around 2200 cups, +/- 100, and enjoy the challenges of mixing it with tougher bases, and also feel better rewarded through the win bonus. Hopefully, more TH8 will come and join me over 2000...

It does feel unfortunate, though, that the win bonus is not tied to stars won... I don't see them much, but when I find an exposed TH that I can snipe, I take it and one other building to get the win bonus... At Crystal II, that's now going to be an even more profitable attack (boring, but hey, free resources, and easy cups!) It feels kind of cheap, so I'd like more incentive to actually raid for two-star wins (which I do, but only twice a day).

I want this to come from someone in the Champ League. Anyone? Yeah probably none. :rolleyes:

Wow. This REALLY makes farmers want to trophy push. Typical supercell. You made everyone expect so much, with a profile and stuff, but just look at it. What's really going to change due to this? Still won't like leagues. Still wont use balloons or wizards much. Maybe we will use hogs and that's it. Everything else is minor.

I know what you did there. :rolleyes:

I'll agree that for a farmer, nothing beats running with a regular farming army at a low trophy count.
The small-ish, but significant, increases in the league bonus will still be unable to beat the efficiency of low level farming.

That being said, for someone like me,
who has recently run into problems with regular raiding,
and now has to control her game time by training dragon armies (boo hoo :(),
climbing in trophies no longer seems pointless
& I won't feel so bad now when my dragons 3* a base and push me higher up the league. :rolleyes:

Once again I have been fooled into thinking an update will be better than it actually is. I'm pretty sure this happens every time.

No round of applause for SC because they still don't get it. Hopefully they didn't actually think this would be an incentive for people to want to get more trophies.

Do you have the new upgrade cost of Freeze Spell?

There are people who don't care at all about base level (see Code Red) and then on the other side you have people who don't care about trophies at all (see Hannibal.) Neither is wrong, and both play the game very differently. If the system worked how you presented it, there would be no point in gemming at the top since you have all the loot you could ever want. Shouldn't there be a challenge at/near the top? I have found it pretty satisfying to find off-brand army compositions that get the job done and are relatively quick to cook.

That's not true. The people at the top would still need to gem time. Attacking once every few hours isn't going to cut if you are gunning for the leader board. Also these folks don't farm. They'd still instantly gem most things right after an update.

Thanks for the breakdown, I actually find that quite acceptable. Adds relevance it previously didn't quite have.

Adding DE to Crystal III is also very important and something I really was hoping to see. There is a real sense of achievement breaking that barrier - into the 2,000 trophy range. No doubt it should give a DE injection for doing so.

I will very much appreciate this on our clans next trophy push. I want to hit Crystal I this time. :)
