Second season in Legends, after 5400 trophies in the first week, second week I was able to only go to 5600 and the air up there was so different (so rare, so many clouds, you feel like flying :)) and I agree with someone here telling that each 100 positions higher up it's worse an worse.

I finished 5800 trophies position 9500, so I assume above 6000 it's crazy to get a base to attack

just a suggestion on how to help lessen time searching for opponents in legends/titans.

supercell could make all the "dead bases" and "inactive bases" available for everyone to attack. i understand that there would be few to none of those kinds of bases in titans or legends but plenty in masters and below. doing this would help th10s and new th11s progress faster as farming would be enjoyable again. the faster they progress, the more players will move up in rankings and trophy push. this will then equate to more players in titans and legends league thus shortening the length of wait in mutiplayer attack searches.

[CLOUDS] Possible simple solution to the Clouds

A possible solution would be to have a check box that we could click before doing a search that would expand the search to lower leagues. When a base is found we would not receive any cups for the win (much like if I were to revenge a player that happened to drop cups) and we would receive the loot bonus for that particular league in which we found the base (for example, Champs I instead of Legends).

Clan games are great and Supercell has done what it wanted to do...get players to play the game more. But the high level players can't really play the game during these events. I would be willing to forgo cups and a loot bonus to be able to play the game. And I LOVE the legend loot bonus!!

Maybe this check box option should only be available during the clan games? I don't know. I know clouds are an issue all of the time in Legends. But I don't want to drastically change the way the game is right now. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

(Sorry, I originally posted this today in the Ideas sub-forum not realizing this thread existed)

I think players should not be allowed to stay online for more than 1 hr at a stretch...Then 10-15 mts time breaker ....Then u can open ur account again

One simple solution would be that while attacking in legendary league at least (or maybe all leagues; wouldn't influence most), your base is available for others to raid (e.g. b/c you're out with your army attacking the enemy base). This would rapidly eliminate clouds, and moreover would eliminate the concern about cooking an army for a base that you might not encounter if it were done as direct PvP, since your base is only available after you've selected a base to attack and initiated the attack. Person A could be attacking person B's base, who is attacking person C's base. In most leagues, the chances of being counterattacked during that time would be effectively 0 b/c there are already many unshielded bases in the pool (for that matter, all unshielded/unguarded bases are chosen from before any base whose owner is presently attacking).

This would make legendary much more competitive too; since going on a raid would represent a gamble that the person that may attack you is at higher trophies, or that you get more stars and hence more cups than them (incidentally cups should be awarded non-linearly in terms of stars...something like 1 star - 5 cup, 2 stars - 15 cups, 3 stars - 45 cups).

Please don't unless a limit is placed on the number of attacks per day and, if going this route, we might as well just go PvP and have it one attack and one defense each player vs. player.

Sorry I didn't read all 16 pages. If I repeat something, just think of it as extra support for that idea.

These ideas are separate. They are not meant to be combined but if you think they should be please say so.

1. Decrease season length. (decreases possible range and thus less clouding on the top end as they cannot push as far)
2. Increase lower end range of possibilities. (even lower cup offers, maybe a radio button so players can decide if they want to use this feature)
3. Change matchmaking to builder base style. (1v1 winner takes losers cups)
4. Change matchmaking to be based on base weight. (would need to change training time to keep higher town halls above lower town halls, also would need to fix engineering first)
5. 1 defense for 1 attack. (Cups can no longer be based on trophy range of defender or impossible to gain cups high up, shield would also have to be reworked)
6. Separate cups from loot. (everyone would be pushing in one multiplayer mode and looting in another, would still need to fix top end of clouds)
7. Create incentives to push that outway incentives to stay low.
8. Create prestige within seasons. (e.g. players reset to 5k everytime they hit 6k and receive a symbol for the number of times they do it in the season, would have to make match finding equally likely anywhere in legends so the first half of a prestige isn't always easy, or don't and it is like CoD)
9. Introduce a sandbox mode to test other ideas that do not affect actual gameplay and players can vote on to get a feel on what works and what we prefer!

If you like or are interested in improving/changing any of these ideas just keep this thread going!

My preferred solution for clouds would be to put a timer on the multiplayer search function such that after a certain time clouding without finding any available bases for the attacker (ie. 60 seconds) the game brings up a "clone base" for you to attack/next.

The clone base would simply be a copy of a randomly chosen base of one of the currently shielded or online players bases within the normal matchmaking range for the attacker.

The clone base would offer the attacker whatever loot and trophies the copied base would offer at that moment if it were available in the matchmaking pool. The owner of the copied base would not lose or gain any trophies or loot, but perhaps could see a replay/live replay of the attack on their copied base.

While I personally would prefer there to be no clouds at any trophy count, I'm not a leaderboard player so not sure if some players would be concerned about the integrity of competition at the top of the leaderboard or making it too pay to win. If needed the time before a clone base is offered could be set to increase with the attackers trophy count. SC would need to fine tune the balance of how much time is required before a clone base is offered to keep the leaderboard guys happy while keeping the clouds to a minimum.

Seems like this would have minimal downside, or is there something I am missing?
