Cool Idea Regarding Walls!

I think the costs of walls should be reduced by 25% starting from level 8 walls. This would encourage more players to grind walls.

Also, for each wall at or above level 8, walls will have special abilities (described below).

I kept this topic in general because I wanted to know how everybody will feel about this cool idea.

This would not only help the newer players, but also repay the older clashers with new wall abilities.

Here are my recommended wall abilities (once you upgrade a wall, you do not lose your previous wall ability):

Level 8 - 50 damage explosion once destroyed
Level 9 - push back troops 3 tiles away
Level 10 - instantly vaporize 5 housing units of troops
Level 11 - stuns troops for 0.5 sec when troops hit the wall
Level 12 - unearths 5 barbarians

Numbers are subject to change (I just used random numbers).
What do you think of my idea?

NOTE: Moderators and admins, please do not move this to the Ideas Sub-Forum. I really want people to consider this idea!

The cost reduction is nice, but the wall abilities would be a little OP...

As stated by a mod, posting threads in General for getting more views is not OK... :straightface:

also it takes away the fun of the grind

That's true.....50 Damage??
That's not just fine!
Maybe reduce it by 75%

Why does everybody always say walls are too expensive?

They are too cheap now!

Back in the days, lavas used to be 3 mil and magmas 4 mil. And you couldn't do them with lix.
*shaking fist*

Guys, the numbers and stats can change. I just want to know if you guys would love a wall cost reduction and an introduction of cool wall abilities.

The wall cost reduction will make it easier on players. More people will be enticed to gem walls to get the new abilities too, so this could be a money-maker for SuperCell! :cool:

Mmmh... the abilities are generally very hard to balance *cough*Supercell*cough*, applying them on walls... that won't be so easy. :unsure:

Nothing in life is easy... one must always work hard. Good point though. SuperCell's balancing tactics are not really quality...

Good one there, Holmes! Yeah, I did post in the wrong subforum!:facepalm:

Anyways, the main idea is pretty good.

The abilities must be balanced, but nice feature. ;)

Thanks, buddy!:thumbsup:

I think it's a little bit too complicated.

pretty sure ive seen something like this come up and be shot down in the past
Walls are walls, we love to grind them but im not sure they should be anything more

Dont know if I like the idea of walls having special abilities but as far as cost reduction goes, it isn't needed. Walls are supposed to take long to max out and are there as a long term goal in the game. I wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly, I'd rather they increased the cost of high level walls.

i disagree on price reduction, walls are already too cheap. price was dropped drastically before. i think the price should go up again.
the walls "perks" is interesting idea i think it was suggested in the past, in my opinion this cannot come without massive rebalance and adding of corresponding (nullifying) abilities to certain troops, otherwise it will be too OP.

Wall abilities... I think I like it. Sounds like a better update than an extra village tbs. Could be a lotta fun. Price? Not so much of a concern. Balance? Ah, yea, good luck with that ;)

Nope, No need to make them more cheap.

In the future ? Maybe
Right Now ? Noway :thumbsdown:

Nope. they reduced the wall costs. I don't want

What about the economy?

Firstly, I welcomed recent wall cost reductions (which were huge by the way) even though I'd just finished most of my level 10 walls on my main account.
Secondly, with every proposed 'cost' change, there's always a balancing act with the economy, and one which nobody has the data on, apart from the dev team.
As an example :-

TH8 has always been a place of Elixir surplus, it's always been this way.
Back in early 2016 I believe, (because of the above) SC decided to allow TH8's to use Elixir on their skeleton walls, instead of just gold.
Within a very short time, this decision was reversed very quickly as suddenly there was a huge elixir shortage as everyone (at that level) was just ploughing elixir into their walls.
Just a small change like this, can devastate the economy for players needing loot.

Reducing wall costs further across all levels could easily recreate this problem.
As for wall traps, I rather like the idea!:)

Was it a glitch? I can't honestly remember, but i'll take your word on it Ginger!:thumbsup:

The point still stands though, if you allow any player to (easily) move loot from Storages into Walls , then there will be massive consequences within the Clash economy!

Hmm, with the way AI works right now different abilities is too much complication, How would the walls work when you put a jump spell on? will they still push away the troops or wall abilities will be inactive after the jump? It's too much complication and I have little faith in the Ai. The troops might just run away into the forest after deploying with these crazy abilities.

I always thought walls should to some damage to troops sticking to it over time and the amount of damage (minimal) would keep increasing as with the increase in LVL.

The Jump Spell would disable the wall abilities for the duration of the spell.

nerf ground attacks?

I do agree that numbers would have to change but good idea.
