The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

So I'm not going to come on here and say loot is fine for town hall 10, clearly elixer has taken a hit since that update. Instead of complaining though, I've switched up my farming strategy again. Just like in December when we needed to focus more on storage raids, it's time to adapt again. It appears to me that the only resource with out an issue is dark elixer, so I've been exclusively farming the dark stuff. I'm in gold one, picking on bases with over 1000 de available and farming enough to keep at least one hero upgrading, and another 1 or 2 builders busy as well. I rarely need to next more than 20 times to find a base with 1000 dark elixer.

It will be a long road, but my thought is that once all my heroes and dark elixer upgrades are finished I will switch to farming with a dark elixer heavy army such as gobarch or bam to finish up my walls. If I use an army low in elixer, more elixer will be available for for me to finish walls and level 40 heroes will make getting to the core of bases pretty easy (it's rare that I have both heroes available, but lvl 30 heroes with barch makes coring bases a breeze).

The loot situation is what it is, I don't really see SC making further changes, although I've been a big proponent of removing the free shield for town hall snipes, which I strongly believe will make it harder to save, but offer up more high loot bases. I'm not a hardcore farmer, I log in and out 10 times a day to raid and 95% of the time I get a free shield, even with 4 million gold and a 100k dark elixer in storages. I know there are many bases and players just like me and I'd like a fair crack at them.

I'm a TH9 midway (still) in Crystal 3 trying to work my way to two, and one. I end up loosing trophies trying for loot in bases I wouldn't usually hit. I miss the days when you'd run across a 9 or 10 here and there and only get 1-2 storages off of but bring in 300k. I don't boost anymore, waste of gems because I'll get bored nexting and quit. Mostly I play for war now.
Anyway I was hoping SC had said something at least we realize it still sucks and are working on it. Nothing it seems. Guess I'll keep farming. Before last two updates I never had a shield fall from time, now its and everyday thing. Lol

ah yes 140k, that's really going to cover your gowiwi with 3 rage and 2 freeze, seriously do some math. I farm in master 1 all the time, I can turn a tidy profit in gold and de but elixir was already tight before the update, now it's the holy grail. I go up to master 1 with 4 mill e and i farm there til I run out then I drop down to gold and pick on all the th9s who can't even touch my base and build up my e again so I can go back up to master. 140k doesn't cut it, doesn't even come close if you are taking on the real bases up there.

What? People can get 50% with barch or loons.

really? Cmon up and try it. I stay in masters on defensive wins, guess what attacks I win on? Barch and Loons �� you are welcome to try it anytime, I can always use the trophies.

Not saying it doesn't happen but it's not as easy as you seem to think. I would say for every successful barch on my base 25-30 fail and for every successful loon attack at least 10-15 fail. The only strategy that successfully 50%s almost every time is a gowi variant and now dragon/hound, neither of which is cheap.

People are saying on here that SC isnt noticing but, if theyre not, then theyre not reading the forum at all. lol

this is the only thread with this many entrees.

and yes its still difficult.

im just saying, it went from being able to farm my loot for upgrades, give some to the next guy who raided me. break shield and get back to work to NOT being able to upgrade anymore troops at all and not being able to keep elixir.

*** Possibly due to the being able to buy walls with elixir?

why dont they just make that for TH 10 ppl?

The game should take time to progress, and I think you people just want it all handed to your on a silver platter.

You should put things into better perspective and learn to adapt.

Xizeta,,,,, I'm guessing by the way you offer advice and criticize th10's that you yourself are a th10 and have found the way to looting success, why don't you share it with us? Perhaps a video of one of your amazing attacks? I for one, as a th10 with loot troubles, would love to see such a video and learn from it, thanks in advance!

Well I win about 90%+ at M2 with loons. I know people that barch in champs and post youtube clips of it. My farming sweet spot for 50% and loot is around 2700, so I don't stray far from there. I'll happily give you as many trophies as you want though, if you have loot.

yes I know there are people who barch and loon in champions as well sweetheart. Guess what? They post their successes on YouTube not their failures. Are you telling me you don't cherrypick the bases you attack with loons? If you are, I call bull. That's one of the reasons I dropped loons and moved on, they just aren't versatile enough, you need to suit the base to the army which I find too restrictive, I prefer an army that can take on any base I come across that has loot. If you think you are that good though head on up to M1 and start taking on the Champ bases that get searched, I can tell you right now they have plenty of loot.

I too had £70 ($100) set aside to accelerate my troops... Just hope that sc has seen a drop in profits so they will fix the economy, use to be an active player spending a couple of hours a day on it after work, now I just log on to collect.. And slowly losing the motivation to do that
