WHY barbs and dragons?

Okay. Let's say you use 120 barbs and 100 archers.


4 barracks that takes 10 minutes + 10.5 min archers approximately.


With 5x boost....

7.5 minutes less which is 2.25x faster. That means 2.25 times the loot. That is an extra few million loot per day.

How about not wasting time on pointless 'perks' such as this and focus more on new content? I for one I am finding this game rather stale, it needs a refresh in content and in all honesty it would only need a new troop and single player missions...not a lot to ask imo.

It probably takes them minutes to make a change like this (probably just a number in the code). Maybe like half an hour to test and double check to be sure something catastrophic happens by accident, but they need to be testing all the time anyway.

Maybe the artwork with the dragon spewing fire and the barbs on the front took their art people some time. But their art people probably needed something to do anyway. ;)

Not a sign, but rather like a confirmation it seems.

Training a whole camp of barbs is just like boosting barch now. They are ready to go into battle once you finish raiding which is nice. But can really only raid outside buildings since barbs don't have range. Drags aren't used much in the higher levels. So I think this limited time boost really helps lower level clashers that are town hall 7 or 8

If Supercell reduces barbarian train time by 5x, barch is ruined because barchers never got past elementary school and don't know how to multiply and divide.

If Supercell give us a 1 gem collector boost, people will complain that it's useless, does not help loot, will actually harm loot, that Supercell should do 1 gem barracks boost, that Supercell is being greedy and not helping loot at all

If Supercell gives us a 1 gem barracks boost, it's useless because there isn't a spell boost, so Supercell is being greedy by forcing us to boost our spell factory.

If Supercell makes training troops completely free, the community would probably complain that they are overflowing with useless elixir, and getting attacked more often, therefore greedy Supercell

If Supercell gives Town Hall 10s anything new, lower town halls complain that Supercell is neglecting them and should focus more on new players.

If Supercell gives new players stuff, town hall 10s complain that they should give veteran players more stuff.

If Supercell gave us collector raids every 5 nexts, people would complain that upgrade times are too long and Supercell is forcing us to insta finish upgrading and buy builders.

If Supercell severely reduced upgrade time and gave collector raids every 5 nexts, people would complain that the game is too easy and no fun, and quit the game.

Supercell is so greedy and can't do anything right

Good. I'm fairly certain TH9 and TH10s have a pretty effective elixir dump at the moment, if I recall correctly. And one that doesn't require investing a bunch of it, then going out and searching for a base that you can convert the invested elixir into some other resource. No, I'm pretty sure it's an instant dump that goes into some base upgrade.

This is exactly what's happening in this thread.

These have happened in the past.

You got this right.

Bottomline: SC can't please everyone. In many cases, they know the game better than us. I am not saying that they are always right, but people will always find ways to criticize and not adapt. This reduction in Barb training time can be put to good use and will actually save gems for you.

Maybe reducing dragons' training time is a way of SC apologizing to TH8's for giving and then taking away the possibility of upgrading walls with elixahr(sic)?

If so, they should've mentioned it, it would have been a nice PR move.

On the other hand, reducing the barbarians' training time?

Does not make sense at all:confused:

Dragons cost a lot of Elixir and Barbs cost very little. I spent all of my elixir doing mass Dragon armies and recouped it (plus tons more) doing 4 minute Barb armies.
