If this is a bug.... THEN IT'S THE BEST BUG EVER
I would bet anything this is a purposeful "glitch" introduced to alleviate the bottleneck that many th8's face where their walls are all purple and they are literally throwing away elixir trying to get gold to get them to skulls... Perfect way to do it since it will only really benefit people who were stuck with full elixir storages and nothing to spend them on... Smart play, SC :thumbsup:
Please
Thanks
Just because you had to suffer it makes it allright for suffering to continue for all?
the economy will be ruined, but before elixir could be used on walls elixir was pretty useless at th9-10 too in the tail-end. The wall upgrade just ushered the onus squarely on late th8.
if the elixir need be wasted, eliviate the problem by reducing the cost of walls8.
or maybe have a function where you decide if you get a rebate on the price of walls, or pay full price with either gold or elixir, decided as the th finishes upgrading.
as it stands though, the center can not hold
Logs into second account, quickly spends 6m elixir, logs out, and says thanks.
Good day. I dont see any good reasons why that updgrade should be back and I dont know it was included. This past few weeks I havent slept early for the purpose of upgrading my walls to lvl 8 and now my hardwork is gone for nothing. I almost finish in upgrading my walls. But this update wrecked it all. I have 18 walls left. I wasted my time.
Ah my builder wish u were free so I could farm skull like crazy with th8 loot . Elixar for wall ... its still 2 day for a builder @+@
YES!
Just got the notification! Maint in 5!:cool::D:heart:
Nice knowing you elixir shortage :p
Looks like the maintenance break to fix this is coming in now.
Hope you guys made the most of this time ;p
Maintence, I did 26 lvl 8 walls with elixer before it ended, thanks SC!
cancelled an archer tower so I could upgrade my walls with my elixir... just in time!!
Kudos to Supercell though for getting the bug fixed relatively quickly.
Maintenance break nooooooooooooo!!!
They should keep it for lvl 8 walls and above, I see no reason for it to cause an elixir storage (there's no gold shortage when people are using it all for walls or defences...).
Ah well I got 6 bits done for second account :-)
So I logged on to the forums just after getting home and saw a thread: 1 minute ago, Anoushka posting about maintainance. Then i saw the deadly letters in red. I gemmed an upgrade for 32 gems and upgraded 20 walls.;)feeling relaxed now...
Too late I already dumped 5 million elixer into walls. Thanks SC :)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Couldve used those gems to boost.
Good on ya, way to get in there, definitely worth it for the guys at TH8.
dumped the 7 mill i was saving into my minis walls. snuck it in!
:cool: on my 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th account, I dump all elixir on the wall :heart:
I spent 5 mil of elixir on walls before it went down lol
r
Nice catch. I dumped about 6 mil of elixir into them. So glad I was around to take advantage of this glitch lol.
GREAT!! Can't believe they have reverted E for sing on walls, it's just gonna mean one thing again! Finding resources in next few days will be virtually impossible again! Not sure on the logic of it besides SC hoping people will gem as no resources about! Why not go full tilt SC and even use E to upgrade everything else! :rolleyes: Dumb move imo that will turn a lot of people away from playing the game.
the maintenance break is to fix this and revert it back to lvl 9+ walls....:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
Yeah they removed elixir upgrade for walls level 7 :(
Worth spending 39 gems to free a builder and dump my 6 million elixir into walls, thanks sc for the free 12 walls, which the break is probably patching upging walls with elixir
I boosted all four barracks immediately and got 27 skulls done. Was going to go back in just now and repeat, but it seems they are fixing their mistake (if, in fact, it was a mistake). Not sure how that could happen on accident.
would be funny if they reverted the walls back but not give the resources back for abusing the glitch
Something I don't get:
WHY THE F*** would anyone be annoyed by the fact that TH8 can spend their elixier on lvl 7 Walls ???????
What does it have to do with you? It doesn't affect you in any way.
And if you're a TH9 complaining that there's no elix loot, you really think the right way to solve your loot problem is to use the TH8 as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ed loot pinatas that exist only for your amusement and resource enrichment????? Don't complain that the TH8 have no elix for you to take, complain to SUPERCELL that they should fix the loot problem without abusing the TH8's patience.
This is so silly and it's another proof that SC doesn't give a damn about us.
Great, from early TH8 to TH8 max, with ALWAYS full elix collectors. GREAT JOB SUPERCELL
Sick of this.
Yes they fixed it and it will keep the economy from losing elixir.
2nd this.
What SC calls a bug, I call a solution.
We should be able to upgrade skull walls with Lix.
It’s beyond stupid how much lix a TH8 needs to waiste when he wants to fullmax TH8.
It’s like SC just laughs at TH8s. All we serve for is a toy for the Th9s Giants and AQ.
If that's the only solution to keep the economy running, SC should solve it one way or another.
Cutting down the costs of skull walls could be one. Or every other adaptation that balances the gold vd lix need of a TH8.
The sole purpose for a TH8 shouldnt be to serve as a milking cow for TH9.
No wonder rushing has become the way to go.
I was able to buy four walls with my elixir. Didn't anticipate this though because I spent two mil three days ago to finally get my zaps to level 5. 104 skulls and 121 purples. Thanks supercell
Someone with l1-7 walls want to confirm they fixed the bug?
It was fixed .... ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I had 4.8 Mil in Elix to dump into walls.
Become a farmer and stop whining if u can't do it don't blame the game blame you for not farming enough!!
Can Supercell atleast make it to where you can upgrade level 7 and above walls only with elixir/gold? considering there isn't much to do with elixir anyways.
I find this "fix" stupid. Walls costs too much and they are a lot... Upgrading them with elixir on level 6 and 7 it's so needed.
WHY???? Because it KILLED the economy for TH9/10s last time they did that, that's why.
To have to save up 1-3M elixir for walls leaves something to be raided still. If you can get rid of elixir at 200-500k small increments, you never have to store any elixir. It doesn't work and you too will be TH9 one day and see what I am talking about. You don't think we were also at TH8 with full elixir storages at one point in time?? Get over it.
Thank god it was fixed. I love beating up on TH8s
^ this. for everyone out there complaining, where do you get your elixir? if you get it from raiding lower THs than you have nothing to talk about. TH7s and 8s will dump all of their elixir into walls. That means TH9s will have nowhere to go for elixir. this was done in the past and totally ruined the game for anyone TH9 and higher
Breathes a sigh of relief. I thought we were reverting to the nightmare of last fall where there was no elixir anywhere. So grateful they fixed this bug promptly. :D
Fixed. The good part is that whoever took advantage of this didn't got reverted. Yay!
Just leave it! I'm not paying 500k gold for one brick. Elixr was fine but seriously?
What the heck are you doing, th8s need elixir walls! When th8 loot for walls, they spend all the gold but the elixir just stays in the storages with no use. It makes life so much easier for th9s cause they can steal all their wall elixir from th8s! Change it back, this is ludicrous! Th8's need elixir walls. What you could do is make them more expensive with elixir, I would be perfectly fine with that because it would be fair. Plz change it back
It was a little too prompt for me lol. I got one boosting session in (13.5 million in resources is now resting peacefully in brand new, gray-topped skull walls). Was coming back for another session when I saw the maintenance had already begun. At least I didn't spend the gems before the fix was started.
Like I said, the problem is that the lower levels walls cost WAY too little to be able to dump elixir into walls. Imagine being able to get rid of every 100k+ elixir that you get? When you need to save up 3-4M for a wall, you have a lot of elixir that you are offering still. You can't just empty your storages dry every raid.
It is fair and I was a TH8 with max elixir for MONTHS!! The problem isn't walls, it's that there is an inbalance of elixir and gold upgrades at TH8. It's ONE TH level and you will be very very thankful at TH9/10 when you get there.
i agree that the resource imbalance at TH8 is a problem. but the elixir for lower level walls is not the answer. i like the idea that if you have over 3 million in elixir, then you can use the excess over that for walls. i think that is the appropriate response that makes everyone happy. but supercell hasn't done this.
Take elixirs walls back!:D
For a normal player,farming walls is sooooo long with gold only.
TBH I remember the elixer draught when I was a TH7 when this had happened last fall. It was a mess. It did hurt the economy of the game. That said, I don't agree with the fix. They shouldn't be taking away a TH8's ability to use elixer on walls if a TH9 can do it too. Because then you still have TH10's upset about loot. Elixer for walls only really makes sense for max level walls. THAT is how it should be done. Then TH9's wont be upset about TH8's elixer for walls. TH8's wouldn't be just getting tossed about like (as someone earlier said) pinatas. AND ONLY top TH10 players trying to max walls would be crushing everyone else for elixer. But if they are maxing out walls, they should be the ones crushing others. There is your economy fix. Not teo mention you get the impaitient TH8's to shut up about having all this elixer as TH9's are not crushing them for it/the whinny TH9's to shut up about there being no loot when they are in the same boat as TH8's/The TH10's who I actually don't hear them complaining as much, will get some relief in their loot searches. The expected maxing out 10's crushing people for loot will be back to the "well yeah I expect that guy to 3 star me."
Yes this will have a few months of our right whinning and complaining from TH9's and some TH10's but they whine and complain all the time anyway.
Last thought on this: It's a game guys. You don't like it... don't play it.
everyone stop...and listen.....farm your walls with gold everything has an endgame....peace
Glad they fixed this bug :cool:
We All Know That Upgrading Walls With Elixir Is Very Good ! And SuperCell Staffs Know That We Want That Option ! But They Fixed That !
I Think Our Comments Not Important For SuperCell!
Anyway I Hope SuperCell Will Restore That Bug xD We All Also Need To Upgrade Walls With Elixir
Regards
Guy, you're going to be a TH9 with skull walls very very soon. Trust me when I say you will understand once you get there. We all had to upgrade to skulls(well most of us) with gold. I did it and now I'm able to upgrade my skulls with extra elixir.
It's not like you just hit TH9 and suddenly you can use elixir for walls. YOU NEED TO GET SKULLS WITH GOLD NO MATTER WHAT TH LEVEL YOU ARE. THIS ISN'T A TH8 THING ITS A WALL LEVEL THING. I can't just dump a tiny 500k every time I get it, into walls. I need to save 1-3M, which usually leaves plenty to be raided.
lol so much people crying over an improvement, always makes me laugh
Thank you supercell. I'm not as mad at this update now.
Oh ok, so TH8 who are able to spend the elixir they HAVE to hoard because of the loot imbalance on their level, is ruining the economy?
So you mean that the only way to keep the economy flowing (ONLY for TH9, mind you), is to make the TH8 carry all that Elixir so the TH9er can come and get it. Is that how you solve an economy problem? You use an entire townhall level as Elixir dispenser for the higher level?
Don't you think there MIGHT be other solutions to this problem apart from degrading an entire townhall level to pinatas?
Thank you SC. Aside from this slip up I am fairly pleased with the update. I do commend you on your rapid response to fixing it though. I hope it was quick enough.
Definitely.
The economy problem was created by allowing elixir for low-level walls.
So yeah, it was removed for a reason.
The best solution to the problem created by allowing elixir for low-level walls was to remove the source of the problem.
TH8s with excess elixir isn't a problem, not having any elixir to loot in the entire game is. TH8s would soon be complaining about the lack after all the TH7 spend all their elixir on there walls. TH7s would only need enough elixir to keep raiding, so might keep 500k max in there stores which means th8 would only get up to 72 k elixir of loot from them. So th7s have spent it all, th8s can't earn enough to pay for upgrade and neither can th9 or 10. this is what started happening the last time, it just didn't go on long enough to affect th8s as much as it did th9s
I Agree managed to clear 4 million elixir on skull walls before they rrectified their error. Gives me some breathin space now. Back to pekka attacks to keep it down while I finish gold spend upgrades. The amount of feedback on this topic goes to show that there is a definate imbalance at TH8.
DI TH8 LV83 co-leader Third Arm Army 8-0 in war.
I am so glad the low level walls using elixir was taken back. Just went kind of early to TH9 36 hours ago and one reason was excess elixir going to walls. Screw other people not having that problem and screw TH8's dumping all their excess elixir into walls, I want to steal it!
Than you SC (serious)
