I see another problem..If your upgrade is lets say 3 days..you go up a league..2 days..up another 1 day..up another done..
This could be bad ^
but again I like the idea just needs a few tweakshttp://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/wink.png

I'm curious about specifics though, how does it determine the build speed? Lets say I trophy hunt into Masters, start a few upgrades and then lower to gold I (assuming loot is still bad, this is a reasonable plan of action). Does the build time adjust itself on the new gold I league? If so, then this will likely require multiple adjustments through the league season and people won't know when their upgrades will finish until they stay put.

Other than that issue, I think it is a great way to encourage people to go for trophies.

So I'm not sure if you've ever done a gem boost or what not. But the way it works is if the spell factory is boosted, when you queue say a lightning spell the time is listed at the normal 30 minutes. However, it counts down 4x as fast.

So the idea is that as you switch from league to league the rate at which the time counts down changes. That means there would be little advantage to starting a building in Masters and then dropping down to gold because you would only receive the masters advantage while you were actually in masters league.

It's true, though, that this would make determining exactly when a building would finish a bit difficult. That is definitely a potential issue with the idea. Perhaps this could be solved with the info screen which could list the current time, the multiplier, and the actual time left if you were to stay in that league.

If applied to troops though, I think it would be less of an issue.

Gotcha, overall it is a good idea and a very interesting way to solve a problem that I feel needs to be looked into. If the small issues pan out, I would be for it as long as they couple it with some sort of loot fix.

Regardless, SC probably knows the real answer and could probably do a decent job of quantifying it, and however that analysis turns out is what they should be doing.

Agreed.

10 characters.

Just rolling with the idea. It would need to be limited to boosting things, it could also reduce cost of troops and spells.

For example:

Gold III -> Buildings build 1% faster Troops cost 5% less
Gold II -> Troops build 1% faster
Gold I-> Spells build 1% faster

Crystal III -> Buildings build 5% faster Troops cost 7% less
Crystal II -> Troops build 5% faster
Crystal I-> Spells build 5% faster

Master III -> Buildings build 10% faster Troops cost 10% less
Master II -> Troops build 10% faster
Master I-> Spells build 10% faster

Champion -> Buildings, troops, spells build 15% faster Troops cost 15% less

I really like this idea, especially progressively faster troop and spell builds depending on your league. I think that would also stop people dropping trophies to farm as much, as they would have to weigh the costs of potentially more/easier loot against faster troop/spells which i think would certainly encourage some to stay in a league more suited to their level/capability, but wouldnt MAKE people choose against farming at lower trophy levels...

I like the idea but...
i hear cries of 'everything for higher level players'

good for us but the lower levels will be all over the place trying to get these advantages and with other mainstays (loot penalty) will only get in the way.
i dont want to see a th7 in crystal who got there purely for the advantages but has less than 5k for me to take...
Id also spend 1k just too look at his base which is pointless.

its a good idea but will take the game a lot of time to recover from and balance into a reasonable shape.
:rolleyes:

Maybe it could be entered with some changes to the amount of loot available?
i said before that TH level should have nothing to do with the loot available but how close you are in trophies to your opponent.... This is my idea to fix EVERYTHING :p

I try to gear all of my ideas to providing people with options in the form of incentives. There is a general consensus I think that the game would be better if trophy hunting were encouraged.

I greatly prefer ideas that cause people to alter their behavior to meet this ideal because they want to as opposed to measures like making the TH store 1m resources.

I don't see this as a higher level player change necessarily. As a lower level you stand to benefit if you can get there too. This measure would be solely to incentivize people to trophy hunt. This does sort of imply that lower level folks would want to rise too.

I think other measures would have to be taken to deal with TH7 in crystal with no loot to take. To address that, I'd like to see SC take the approach of making all targets worth while if you can defeat them as you move up. That way even if the TH7 only had 5k for you to take, something such as a TH based league bonus would compensate.

There is also the side benefit of more people going for trophies means more competition for trophy hunters.
