So you will wait 20 minutes for your troops to finish training?

Yet again, hit 3 times today by just lighting spells on my DK. Pls get some nuts and get it with troops.

Current trophy range ?

Amount of DE currently in storage ?

If you are around 1200~1400 trophy range, with atleast 10k de in storage, thats not surprising.

Nice, 28k, saving for AQ ?
or maybe you should keep it and wait for update first haha :)

I'm currently playing around 1100~1400 trophy region

DE wise, I'm reaching 15k DE, but so far only have 1 person who used double lightning on me for the past 4 days.

But yea, my storage is maxed level 4 for th8 :o

with the new update on its way and the dark elixir troops, I am afraid that DE lightning loot will increase and increase.

I got 2 knocks this morning, lost 1500 DE :mad:

Well, it's not a huge issue for me. Yeah, I'm one of the people that get hit by lightning now and then, since I don't really have any big problems aquiring DE on my normal raids. It builds up over time and I don't worry about it a lot.

But I do think it's sloppy game design.

Cowardly, or not, I couldn't care less. BUT CoC is a strategy game, and should require strategy. I dislike features that a 3-year old could master. I want a game to require skill, not "a finger".

And you can't compare it to destroying a mortar. Most players that have used lightning spells on my DE storage would have huge difficulties with reaching my stores even if they take out a mortar first. So that's a rather crappy argument.

The main concern is that many drop lightning spells solely on the DE storage or drills taking a lot of DE, a resource that as we all know is hard to come by, unless you use real money.
Which is the reason why we all place storages in the center of our towns.
I belive that SC will not fix this in the way that it has been suggested, ie. via hidden tesla near the storage or drill to deflect said spell. (not a great idea as this will make all of us place a telsa near these structures taking away the creativity that the game provides), Nor will they raise the amount of DE a drill can produce as this will cut into their pocket.
My solution is to place a cap on the amount of DE any number of spells can loot. Let's say 50DE. No matter how many spells one drops the amount will always be 50DE. The troops you deploy will have to loot the rest available DE.
In the last 6 days I have been raided for over 3k DE via lightning spells and troops but mainly spells. It pisses me off as I can't revenge them successfully to regain the amount stolen. As the rules of the game stand, its part of the game and I'm not complaining as I will wait for the right time when I can regain that which has been stolen.
I think I can live with -50 DE as apposed to 600+ from just spells. This I think will deter some from dropping spells solely on DE and actually focus on troop placement as the means to loot towns, as the game was intended.
Dont get me wrong I love the spells and will continue to use them as part of my attack. I think they are usefull and fun to drop.
This is only a suggestion to one of the most recent complaints.
BTW it does not have to be 50DE it can be any amount. I picked 50 only because my lv3 drill procures 45DE an hour. An amount easily recovered.

OR....go above 2200 cups and no one in their right mind would hit you with lightning solely for dex. And those players have storages with upwards of 40, 50k +, so you can get it back if you invest in your attack.
When gunpowder was invented, no one gave the guys with bows and arrows a break.

Hmm, that comparison stumbles in so many ways. This is a computer game, remember? A *designed* world. Whatever happened to those poor people have no weight in this discussion. And it's not like any player "invented" lightning striking the DE storage, as I said in my previous post a 3-year old can do it.

Allthough you are right with high ratings saving you from lightning strikes, that's what I do myself when I need to save DE. From 18-1900 or so DE-strikes are very rare.

I'm waiting for my TH8 upgrade, and have a vat full of DE since my BK is already maxed. Surprisingly, no major issue with DE lightning so far, but that's probably partly due to the trophy range (1500-1600), and partly the fact that I usually get revenge attacked as soon as I log off - mostly from TH9 that can clean me up with just troops.
