There may be multiple days where the majority of people you come across have mediocre bases for the people who understand the mechanics properly :)

I'm excited!

Unless I have to sit an exam to update the update, then I'm super not-excited.

I'm not super excited about this wallie AI update: took me quite a few months to perfect (though there really is no such thing, and before I get screen shot-ed, I am aware exactly how one can go about breaking through it) a TH8 base that held up well for me, as well as a playing style that was profitable for me.

(Plus, the fact that I spent 4 hours redesigning Pommie's base AN HOUR BEFORE the wallie update was announced does not help either.)

As Sandalhat summed up quite eloquently, I'm not too keen about resitting for an exam long after I've graduated - and while I dare not call myself the best, I think I'm a pretty darn good farmer w/ within the conventions of the current playbook.
It's like making me sit for yet another exam with yet another professional certification board - going back to the basics can be a B.

But I suppose, we will adapt eventually.
I for one, am excited about raiding with skeletons that will have some semblance of a brain, even if they have doubled in size, those fatsos;
though I may not be too excited about defending my base against them. :/

This little Potato has no intention if redesigning 3 bases in the foreseeable future - if you find her, please do a Pingfao & shield her. TQ.

I admire your patience. You took it so well.

Here's what I think... If you were a skilled player to begin with, you should have a much easier time adjusting to the new mechanics and finding a way to arrange your base in such a way that gives you a good defense than a casual player. Therefore, even though everyone is on a level playing field with it being a fresh start, you will still have an advantage because of your "skill" and "strategy" knowledge.

If this is too big of a task for you, you were just abusing faulty mechanics to defend your base previously after someone else figured out an effective method for you. Don't worry, there will be new methods once us skilled players figure things out and you copy us, so really the change is temporary.

I don't see any way how a skilled player doesn't look at this situation as having an advantage over the playing field. There's a lot of people who will not adjust well, and they'll be easy pickins. Lots of loot coming this week folks :)

Well let's reinvent chess... king, queen, tower and all others have now the same characteristic as the pawns... . I'm sure that change does qualify for some super exciting games.

The "stupid" Wallbreakers is a flaw in the game, IMO, which they have now fixed. If you're an experienced player, you should be able to adjust your base. On the flip side, many of us will benefit with countless opponents relying still using spikes for a long time after the change. :cool: And if you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you have to upgrade your walls, I have zero potty for you. Tired of seeing TH9 guys with lame level 5 and 6 walls with long spikes.

How do smarter wall breakers result in a need for stronger walls? I think it is just the opposite. Now, for lvl 5 wall breakers there may be no difference between lvl 6,7,8 walls since they all take 2 wbs to get through. Lvl 9 and 10 walls take more but are prohibitively expensive.

time will tell, but it may be more difficult to force people to bash through your walls as you could with spiking strategies.

While I'm sure many agree with your speculation-based hate, I must point out that you used a terrible analogy.
