I have been champ many times, sometimes i drop to farm some new
upgrades ..
Now i am climbing back up again
2750 cups atm .. no shield for 2 days
only 1 defense ...whats going on ???
Did the hog nerf completely kill the game or is everyone just sitting on defense hoping for a win because they are to afraid attack using hogs, minions , baloons ?
Same here. At 2650 and no one has raided me for 4-5 days. Nice, but sorta curious how my base will hold up.Quote:

I have 5 days and one attack me ;( 2850 trophies
Jump up a lil more to above 2850 cups the fun should start there. Your base is getting skipped because there are easer bases to attack. I had the same problem last month then when i got to 3000 my base shot me up to champ on defense lol.
I also wanted to check out how my base will hold ,,, but will probably not find out until +3000 cupsQuote:

To amend this, I now see less of the maxed bases in the lower cup ranges. Maybe they're still there, just hidden behind a shield someone gave them through snipping.

These threads are getting very tiresome from the point that every negative or positive comment is comming from a player who is basing this on their own personal experiences within the game. The fact that this becomes a flame war is ridiculous, all because your personal game experience holds no value for those on the other side. The only way to prove either theory right or wrong, is to have hard data from SC, and good luck with that.
I will add that comments like, crybabies, whiners, adapt, get over it, etc., only fan the flames, and to begin a thread with these included in the first line are there only to feed a hungry troll.
With that, I will add my personal experiences.
I have only played two days since the update. Not because I was angry with it, I actually quit a few days before it was released apparently, but because I was tired of the game in general. Once I realized there was an update, I decided to log in at least once a day to collect and see what armies I was now being attacked by and by whom. I dropped from crystal 1 to gold 2 and set up my experiment. I found that I was now being 3 stared far more often by maxed TH9's and 10's, wall farming, than I was in crystal 1. This trend seems to increased as more time passes. The raids are mostly spammed hogs with level 20+ heros backing them up.
As for what I was consistantly offered, farming with tier ones, as I should be able to do that at gold 2, was an average of 35k of gold, 70k for elixer, and I won't even consider the negligible DE I saw. There were the odd 350k+ offers, but they were being held by those maxed TH10's with the storages neatly tucked around the new disco balls, three maxed x-bows, WT's etc.. I saw a few more maxxed TH9's offering a bit less, but again, no chance with my tier ones.
What I have gathered from this is that with the removal of the loot bonus for lower TH's, now, with no fear of loss, more TH10's are dumping cups in order to farm the easier bases. Why be bothered to fight a difficult TH10 for a portion of the loot when I can three star a TH8 or 9, stealing more, in comparison to that TH10. This, and the fact cheaper and faster trained armies will generate more raids per hour, it's a win win for those higher level TH's, when they dump cups.
Now go ahead and let the flaming begin, because I offer no proof, only my personal experience.
_______________________________________________
I've been hanging out in 2700-2800 for a while now, and went 5 days without an attack on me, and suddenly in the past 48 hours i've been attacked 9 times. I've noticed that attack patterns for me are like waves, with high and low periods of activity.
Sitting at 2600-2700 for a week now, constant attack after shield break. My th is somewhat sitting out, however.
Everyone who attacks just looks for th9 since even a fully maxed th9 is easier than a prem th10 with inferno towers.
i am in masters at the moment and I see more pink walls here than I do when I am farming in gold, inferno towers are just simply too powerful at the moment that there are so many bad players that chuck two in the middle of their base and just sit back and end up in masters on defensive wins.
Edit: Just searched the bases that have attacked me since hitting masters this time round and they were all th9's. Which to me at least further shows it's only really the lower level Th's actively playing in early masters which makes sense since we need to attack in order to maintain cups. It does look like the th10's just sit back and let their inferno towers maintain their cups for them.
Edit2: just went through my legue and over half of the people have no attacks this season (they are still active because their cc, inferno's and xbows were full). About 25% have under 20 wins, and the rest apart from 2 (me th9 117 wins and a th7 with 337 wins) have under 50.
My Alt hasn't attacked in months.
After every maintenance break it never gets attacked. I've gone 2, 3, 5 and over 7 days before. If I open the app to collect mines or donate then it's attacked within 2 mins. Every time. The TH is outside by the way.
Obviously this is taken out of matchmaking but then put back in.
Yep, same with my alt. bases are defintely removed from attack queue.Quote:

Sometimes i put my TH outside as Zach said, to get quick shield and let mines pump away.
I found this, then when i got to 3000, im being attack within minutes of leaving. I know master one is normally busier but it never has been by this much!Quote:

Lol Stitch that is like having a "Kick me" sign on your back. I would raid a base like that an heartbeat!Quote:

Discos dont matter if they are just protecting th. Now a centered de store next to disco infernos and xbows pointed up.....Quote:

edit: ALL my clan mates report that attacks really die off once you go to masters. Crsytal is just FULL of hogging farmers.
But if you have disco infernos and xbows pointed up defending storages in crystal, will you just be pushed up to Masters?Quote:

Farm in masters III, might have better luckQuote:

Well, no secret that the hog nerfs and especially the latest one with disco inferno would bring a lot of th.10's down to pray on th.9's and 8's instead..Quote:

I guess it's not really a shock. As you say the nerf to Hogs means that a strong farming army is now redundant to most but the very skilled.Quote:

What other possibilities are there for farming? Even the strongest trophy hunting army can only 1 or 2 star most bases up here.
Unless things change people will have to come lower to farm.
Well, we have 5 inactive members in the clan, and their pumps are always destroyed.
One guy has been inactive for at least three months, and his base is being farmed every single day.
