My solution to the whole dark elixir zapping thing is to keep lightning spells from giving the attacker loot, they would still damage the storages but not gain any loot.

Dark elixir zapping is not a problem. I have full 200k dark elixir for more than a month and ive only been zapped 2-3 times. My league is C3 where all the zappers are supposed to be. Man up and stop complaining...
The real solution: Become a better farmer so when you get zapped for 500de you just laugh it off because that's half of what you got in one raid
Zapping is part of peoples strategies. Losing even 3k dark elixir isnt a big deal because clearly you can afford it if they can zap that much hehe
Just put your DE storage next to builder huts, they will not notice it there.
the least they can do is allow Revenging them. Ive been zapped 3 times by players that I haven't attacked before and Revenge is not an option.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
Let them zap away! Just go raid someone else. Not that big a deal...

3. Make an attacker lose trophies if he attacks, but doesn't get any stars.
Do do you get it yet?
Not true. Your defense log is a lot longer than your attack log, so they probably fell off.Quote:

Another solution is to max your DE storage. The more maxed it is, the less amount of DE that can be zapped :)

Not that zapping is a "problem", but maybe an annoyance for some? I admit i usually never get up to 200k de at once, but I am sure sometimes you probably get frustrated due to their lack of skill to raid you properly.Quote:

People change base layouts, ya know.Quote:

But I was session raiding, so he was one raid too far back in my attack log for me to post the replay. (I could see the attack, but replay was not available.)
Anyway, I checked his base half an hour later, and it was a basic compartmentalized layout, totally boring and forgettable. He had changed his layout within an hour of my attack.
I don't remember names. If I had checked his base a half hour later than I did, I would have had no idea who he was (he would have been out of my attack log entirely by then).
another quick solution, move to crystal and put your town hall outside, never got zapped since
It's not a huge issue and makes townhall 7 a lot easier at the start. You might of forgot how hard it was when you fjest started. I invite you to post in my thread and take the zapping poll and state how you feel. If the idea had got more negative supporters then something would be done. But 57% think it's okay. The others think "it's not cool yo". So rather than stating a blank idea; post something that generates discussion :p

You're wrong. On this, I am not assuming.Quote:

Just make sure the next session you end your shield prematurely you raid more dark elixr than you have lost, this is where people come undone IMO
Revenge is there for a reason :oQuote:

I would like the idea implemented in a proper way, say -50% damage to DE storage from lighting as glass doesn't conduct electricity too well. As a side effect this should apply to elixir storages then, too. And to balance the penalty gold storages would take a bit more hit - say 25%? Due to 4 gold storages compared to single DE I don't believe gold zapping would be any kind of issue.
This issue was worst in G1/C3 leagues where league bonus is minimal and trophies easy to gain. If someone raids my village and steals my resources there's not much I could do but DE zapping is really maddening as there's no way to protect from it besides keeping TH out or getting to higher leagues.
But as SuperSteve said in October there is no plans to do anything about it - http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...e-is-a-problem
It is, at MOST, a minor irritation during the rare times it happens.
