I'm part of the latter. Plainly stated.
By saying how good we had it, we stands for the people who benefited from Level 8 wall upgrades with Elixir.
There is no logic that any argument that the use of elixir in walls were unbalancing the game causing the lack of elixir in the attacks. If you think that way gold is still scarce, as most things are to be updated with gold. Now with only gold to upgrade the walls around the problem of excess elixir stopped. In short this update, if before missing elixir to serve, now missing gold, at least before this balanced and giving you options for managing resources !! SuperCell completely wrong to make that kick !!
they should have done something like you can do skulls with elixir but instead of 500.000 in gold it would like costed 750.000 in elixir
You could put your overflowing elixir storages next to your exposed townhall. That would be nice :-)
I remember there was a thread on whether the new update would reduce zapping because of the introduction of the DE drill at th7. Ironically, its gonna increase zapping because elixir storages are gonna remain full for many at th7/8 now.
I guess I'll be trying out a lot of weird troop combinations from now. Not much else you can do with elix otherwise.
That extra elixir is for raiding.
I agree with you that there will be excess elixir which th9 plus will feast on to upgrade their walls. This update is catered more to the hardcore players than the casual gamers like myself. The only issue with doing so is alienating those that want to become hardcore players. I am not a fan of not allowing lvl8 walls upgradeable with elixir but I understand why SC did it. Those that have the loudest voices and those that complain the most are the ones that play the most. They have a right to as they spent the most time playing it. As for me whom is stuck at th8 with just lvl8 walls to do (minus the new upgrades from this update), I'll stick around and max it out like I always do by raiding a few times a day. It will just take me twice as long. If I decide to give up, I'll leave my resources completely unguarded for the hardcore players.
Extremely efficient, or using an OP army comp when considering the power vs price and cook time for mindless spamming of tier 1 troops? This is not the way the game was meant to be played, and that's why SC has been trying to encourage more diverse troop composition.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and yes, you are a perfect example of why these changes are needed.
The "wall revert" was done to help TH9-TH10 players. If you can't understand that, I don't know what else to tell you.
I can tell you as a TH10, DE is not a pain. DE was really only a pain to grind for TH7 and TH8. That's why they gave the additional drills to them.
Elixir is STILL not going to be a pain for TH8 and below, and they gave you more DE. And now there's more elixir for TH9+ to take.
This is why it's called "balancing."
Whatever an "epeen" is, it sounds like the one you have is pretty low-level. Maybe you should upgrade it. Oh wait, that would cost too many gems :cool:
