I'm Daddy I close flame threads sometimes

Daddy, with so many ppl complaining about loot inavailability, I think we should acknowledge that there indeed IS a problem. We have so many threads dedicated to this, and trust me, people would rather be gaming than taking the initiative to write on what they see as a problem in the game.

It does not help when people are trying to make their voice heard on this problem, and people respond with the following:

1) I don't have a problem so there is no problem. Hundreds of people are saying there is a problem here, from gemmers to farmers. There IS a problem.

2) I found some good time zones when there are no problems. Then acknowledge that in a lot of timezones, there IS a problem. Hence the game economy fails for certain time zones making the game frustrating to play for certain countries or people who prefer to play in certain times.

3) I am strong (I can play at 2200), you are weak. Yes, very helpful. If someone was progressively growing at 1400 up, why should they now accelerate to 2200 trophies just to find loot due to an update? Is that even advisable?

4) Posting selected loot screens ... great. Do you really want those who genuinely are facing the problem to post 60 to 70 skips per match to find the first base that can allow a profit?

5) I am lucky, you're bad luck! Good that some are lucky to find successive loots. Them being right does not make the rest of us wrong or less right. What we're experiencing is universal and consistent, my entire clan is experiencing it. We've had times where we come online, do 30 over skips and leave without raiding. Only to come back to try again later. This has NEVER happened before the update.

6) Asking us to quit ... move our resources out. Really? You want the community to shrink? Is that what people want. Less villages to raid?

I'd like you to help Daddy. Get our voices heard and let Supercell at least acknowledge our voices.

I play a lot, I've played through many upgrades, and I tell you, I am finding it extremely frustrating to play like I used to. This should be taken a look as a bug/problem rather than complaining/whining in my humble opinion.

In my analysis, here are some points which may help categorise who are more likely facing issues:
1) highly active farmers who play over a wide period of time.
2) Those playing on selected time zones?
3) People who are between new to mid-level TH9 progressing either naturally via farming or gemmed their way prematurely, hence certain towns at 1400 cups with purple to black walls and lvl3 xbows are not options for raiding. Certainly, they may have 200K gold to loot, but itsn't accessible yet for some of us.

We need your help daddy. Help us out. Speak to Supercell and get us heard. I think that's about all I can ask for really.

Cheers. Love ur videos.

Well written! I agree with everything you have written. The time zone thing is especially huge because I cannot find good matches during the day eastern time. The only time I can find good matches are between 12am-6am eastern and honestly if I didn't work at night I would have quit this game post update because of the frustration.

Does supercell think people will buy gems because of this? If anything it will do the opposite since people are frustrated with supercell.

Im in the Beijing time zone, loot is usually great around 11AM to 5Pm, after that timeframe, loot is considerably lower, so yeah, people ought to consider the playing time as well

Silv - I appreciate what you are saying, and my comments right here are 100% based upon my own experience in game. I can't agree to something that I am simply not seeing myself. I understand others are experiencing loot issues and the loot % has gone down following the update however personally I can't shovel the gold into my bunkers fast enough, and I know for a fact others in my particular clan have switched to all goblin farming to increase the shovel rate - this is at or around 1,400 cups. You will have to trust my integrity when I say i'm not being selective in screenshots etc that's how it was the past few days at 1,400 cups for me and some others.

Putting my mod hat on now:

I would absolutely encourage everyone to share all experiences on this, my opinion is only one of 60,000 registered members and mine is the equivalent of yours - just because i'm not seeing it does not mean SC will not see a report at the end of the week saying that others have issues. So don't hold back ... as long as it's polite constructive like you are doing with your excellent post then tell it like you see it.

And thanks for the compliment on the vids I love making them - any suggestions for the next one?

Actually, I bought gem once as a token gesture cos I enjoyed the game so much early on. I used it to buy my fifth builders hut. I was planning to gem at some point in the future again once I have my TH9 better upgraded. I'm holding off that plan now based on this experience. Whatever they planned didn't work for me. :)

Indeed. It's pretty obvious there's an alteration to the matchmaking since the update since so many people are affected, myself included. They say it's like this after every update etc. but I was happily farming at 1600 finding many sleepy TH8 bases with over 200k loots and as soon as the update came out it was like a ghost town with nothing over 100k coming up for me. Literally straight after we were able to go online I could find nothing worth raiding. There are a couple of guys here posting pics of decent raids which are still around if you hit enough next battles but they are far and few between. Oh well, up in trophies we go! We must adapt...

Finally someone with some sense (not cents), thanks for your post Siv75. Totally agree, its something that needs to be looked at and addressed as more than one or two people are complaining about it.

took me 50 nexts to find this gem

I wouldn't say that there has necessarily been a change in the matchmaking. I'd say it is more likely some perfect storm of update chaos and new player behavior stemming from the leagues. That's just my opinion.

Anyway, I'm glad this thread has become more civilized (though I'll admit I probably contributed to a flame or two). I'm glad people are bringing up the loot times and trying to find real solutions.

Hi there, thank you so much for responding. :) Firstly, I was never questioning yours or anyone elses integrity. I'm sure everyone is sharing their genuine experiences. I was only trying to point out that it shouldn't be an either or argument when it really isn't.

I am with you on being polite. I'm a daddy myself :D I felt the need to write cos the discussion was valid and I didn't want this thread to go unnoticed/closed due to a few flames.

I personally like your cooking videos ... a gentle reminder that there IS life outside of my ipad :D It was refreshing! I also love that you use troops that most others don't. Always wanted to see you using minions/hog riders to compliment your balloons as that combination completely negate walls. Especially now with more air defenses, I'm curious to see if they'd be a good combination (hog riders to kills AD, minions to clean up, baloons for anti-defenses).

Cheers
