Disable DE Lightening Drop

Dear Supercell,

Allow me to begin by saying that I love 99% of this game and think you are all geniuses for creating such a cultural phenomenon. Also, I'm sure many have posted on this topic before, but as I am new to forums, I hope you don't mind the repetition.

Here's some fun facts: 1) heal spell doesn't work on infernos, so the idea of a spell not working on something is not new. 2) As you know, non-gemmers spend years raiding to build solid bases that they hope will defend against strong armies, especially those after DE.

Question: does it really make sense to allow some noob who has earned nothing in this game yet to steal that much DE from someone who has worked so hard to guard it so well? The answer is obvious: if people want DE, make them raid it.

Therefore, please update this essentially ♥♥♥♥♥ing feature of an otherwise flawless game.

Cheers.

Waldo

to answer your question.

yes, it does make sense.
it allows lower level players to compete with higher level players.

is it fair that higher level players can drop their trophy count to just run all over lower level players?
no, of course not. so, supercell gave lower level players a way to fight back.

dont like being zapped?
tough.

while supercell has not officially ruled it out, they have said that they do not have any plans of changing the game mechanic of the lightning spell.

so, suck it up, buttercup

PS. a TH7 can hardly be considered a noob anyway.

Zapping is here to stay. its just the combination of the mechanics of the looting system and the way the spell works. Just move on and keep raiding it back. no big deal...


btw: counter has been reset to zero again:rolleyes:

I'm sitting on 50k in de. In the entire time i went from 0-50, i got zapped once for a measly 400 de. Before that, i saved 80k for golem 4. I got zapped once for 350. Before that, 70k. Before that, 80k. Before that, 100k. I can still count on one hand the amount of times ive been zapped. I get raided for 1800-2400 de a few times in my rush for DE, I'll take a zap any day of the week versus a full raid.

Crystal 2 TH9.

I know it sounds bad, but people lightning spelling your DE Storage is part of raiding. SC (Supercell) Can't make it where you just cant drop spells there. Its a way of TH 7's farm DE. All apart of the game.

Your fun facts about the heal spell not working on inferno towers. If you read the description of the inferno tower it states that your heal spell wont take effect if they are being targeted by inferno tower due to the "hotness" of it.

I stay at 50k DE everyday and I get zapped multiple times a day and they can only manage to get around 1k-2k and the amazing part is theres this called revenge :) most of the times i take back what they stole from me with gold and elixer. hahahhaha.

Yes totally agree with u although really have no use for DE as of now, except raiding, still have my DE full. 😊

1) lower levels should fight back by doing the same thing to players lower than them.
2) a th9 raiding a th7 is 99% of the time pointless unless the th7 has full loot and the th9 uses barch.
3) you are right and I apologize. a th7 is not a noob. still doesn't make zapping fair.

ps what clan are you in so i can check out your base?

There you go with that word...fair.

You're right zapping isn't fair. It's not supposed to be fair. Just like higher THs attacking lower THs isn't fair. If SC tried to design the game around what was fair, the game wouldn't work.

Thats not really fighting back....Its just a cycle of Higher hitting lower until th3s have no one to hit.
Zapping is a counter measure to people who sit down in lower leagues and barch farm from lower ths. It annoys them so they either move up and get back to their own level or they move down to where DE is unneeded and can passively collect off of their drills.
By all means its fair as their is nothing broken about the system.

There is no reason to upgrade your base if you're being attacked by zappers. All the hours/money put in are wasted as there is no defence to it and it takes no skill. It's not an efficient way but as I don't zap I just find that around 1k of my de is gone and there was nothing I could do against it. If someone breaks into my core and steals it all then at least they deserved it and it drives me to make it that much harder for people to get my de. If they just zap it then there is really no point and I've just lost 1k de.
