Suggestions for changes Supercell should make to make it worth it to go for trophies

You should lower the costs of upgrades to more reasonable numbers or allow people to raid more resources than the amount lost by the other party in the raid. Other ideas that would help people target trophies would be to decrease the size of the gold and elixir storage to one square so that people have the space to guard their town hall as well. As it stands now people are forced to decide between guarding their town hall or their resources and due to the cost of upgrades people are choosing to guard resources. There is no other way to save up 3,000,000 + of resources. As you know once any significant amount is saved up that village is raided non-stop. Another option would be to increase the amount of resources villages can mine significantly either by increasing production of already existing mines and pumps or simply increasing the numbers permitted. If you still want to push people to buy gems you could always add a few days to the time it takes to complete upgrades and allow gem use to speed up that process.

Anyone else have any ideas? Please add them.

I could be wrong but I think the point is that you have to choose between which building to protect and which ones to leave vulnerable. If you village is getting raided non stop it's not just because of the number of resources you have but also that your base looks a soft target. Improve your defenses or layout and you will get attacked less. I save up to 3M without much trouble.

Remember saving beyond 660k of a resources makes your base look as tempting no matter how much more you save.

Exactly my point. The game by design forces everyone to chalk up protecting their town hall once they reach higher levels, unless they purchase gems with cash to upgrade, because otherwise you would never be able to save enough resources for bigger upgrades. I am suggesting a bit more balance between resources and trophies. As it stands now the game only values accruing and protecting resources. There is no benefit to having higher trophy counts while there is a penalty in that you are far more likely to lose a significant amount of resources when attacked. People would be far more inclined to climb rankings if the penalty wasn't so harsh.

For every 10 trophys you gain above say 1500 you earn 5 gems..

The easiest way is to make THs store 50% of your resources.

Interesting idea. Would you also change the loot percentage on the town hall from it's current 100%?

I would certainly be protecting my TH as much as I can if it meant losing 50% of my gold AND elixir. In fact, THs would be the new favorite target of 3 lightning spell attacks...

That is not an incentive, nor does it change anything about the current game that causes people to farm.

50% of nothing is still nothing, which is what you'll have for resources if you focus on trophies. The reason why people farm is it is currently the best and really only way besides gemming to gather resources.

People will go for trophies if resources are available at high levels. Supercell can fix this easily (for example by increasing mine and pump output, or giving a bonus on loot based on trophies, rather than penalties based on TH) but choose not to as their main income is from high level trophy players buying gems to stay at the top.

Simple.

Supercell

1) increase mine and pump outputs
2) provide a resource bonus / incentive based on trophy count

Supposedly trophy incentives are being worked on but the focus will be on maintaining / growing revenue. Hopefully supercell realises customer satisfaction is the key to long term, sustainable growth.

increasing pump/ mine output is the answer to all out problems right now. we just need to be able to get our hands on more resources at a time that doesn't require a 150,000 elixir army and 100,000 gold in searching for a town that will turn up a 10,000 G/E profit.

I like this idea as well. I work 50hr+ a week, own a house, have a wife and dog at home and we are working on a child.

I enjoy CoC, but I only have the free time to raid 1-2 times a day. I rely on my pumps and mines (all level 11) to help me with my upgrades more than the average person. A level 12 or 13 mine would help immensely as most of my upgrades cost 1-2 million at this point.

Many of the clash of clans players would like to battle against their friends or test their own layout, so i would like to suggest creating a sparring with friends mode and if you win you get some sort of a medal, and also to create an achievement based on it.

Thanks :D,

Why does Supercell care?

Some players like trophies, other prefer to farm and build their base. Supercell profits from them all. So why change the system? It doesn't appear to be broken.

Wow an almost 2 year old thread and even back then people were talking about stopping people farming with exposed THs by putting more resources into the TH.

Necro.

Funny to see after all this time nothing has changed lol.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same".

The necro is strong in this one.

We got league bonuses since the OP, at least..

Why not have different bonuses based on performance of the raid. One star gets you the bare minimum. The current bonus loot. Two starts gets you another chunk. And 3 star gives you even more. I find it silly one star is considered a win the same as 3 stars. one star means you BARELY won, two start means you won a decisive battle. And 3 stars is total destruction. There is no real motivation to 3 star a base. I think they should implement this. Each sub league will have its own 3 level of loot bonus.

agree with this

My friends and I constantly find ourselves arguing over who would 3 star whom. We think that we should be able to put our predictions to the test in a sort of "sandbox mode" where you can visit your friends' villages and choose to raid them. The raid wouldn't affect trophies, shields, or resources, just bragging rights.

Isn't that what the league bonus already does in higher leagues?

I'd say the league bonuses are already an incentive for gaining trophies.

I think this is ruled out.

Could you give experience and count troops donated when we donate clan war castles ?

We should be able to bring back troops that didn't die in a raid but their hit points don't recover, so they're almost like heros but they're not immortal

There, I fixed your statement for you.

What's with necrobumping threads that are on the weong subforum that were already necrobumped earlier with a post unrelated to the OP?


I don't get it. Why did the necrobumper think this was the right time and place to post that idea.

Two words.....fresh spawn
