Slumming down to the Minors

After reading various whines about the update making it "too hard" to find good farming bases, I decided to drop from Crystal 2/3 and drop down to the Minors and slum it checking out the claims. (note: most of my TH8 time was Crystal, very occasionally dropping to high trophies Gold l. I like the challenge of quality competition)

I'm almost two months into my TH9, having max'd my 8 and starting with full storages ( immediately getting X Bows, bringing new stuff up to grade, level 6 giants and Archers and upgraded wiz towers. It's nice having all skulls, everything max'd and 6 mil of gold and elixir and 40k DE starting a 9 :-) ).

First off, the attacks have been 90% barch. My base eats those attacks as a pre breakfast snack. Seems that's what the main armies are in the Minor Leagues. I'm going for hours off line without being attacked. In Crystal, I saw a variety of army compositions and the base would be shielded within minutes if I had any loot worth taking.

Second...y'all call these defenses????? No wonder barch is the only army used. Jumpin Jehosaphat...9s with purple walls and TH8 defenses. 10s with purple walls, low level X Bows and inferno towers. And camps filled for a barch army. Jeesh...a solid mixed army rolls through these bases like a starving dog in a hamburger factory.

Loot...I don't take on 8s...too easy. And with the cost needed at 9, I'm finding tons of loot with poor base defenses against a mixed TH9 level army.

I dropped to 1300 trophies before guilt overrode curiosity and amazement at the level of TH 9s and 10s. It's back to.the Majors for this guy...it was becoming boring slumming in the Minors. Ugh...

As for the whiners, let me know where to send cheese to go along with yer whining and sniveling.

What was the point of this thread?

I think to show how incredibly inefficient he is at farming?

Trying to figure out the point of it also

Lol, you don't attack th8s because they are too easy.... Oh yeah, I'm sure you pass up the 150k+ th8s . There are people in every league that can level your new th9, so dont get too ♥♥♥♥y. You are one of those minor leaguers in the higher leagues.

Yeah not sure if i'm understanding where you're coming from OP? Was this to prove a point? If so maybe start a new thread with actual content that is relevant to anything...

he probably was expecting a pat on the head along with cookies.

Crystal is the Majors? then what is Masters/Champions??

I guess you feel like since crystal league is the highest you've achieved that that is the big leagues huh?

To me - if we are comparing to the baseball hierarchy - this is how it goes:

Majors: Champions league
AAA: Masters
AA: Crystal
High A: Gold
Low A: Silver
Short Season A/rookie: Bronze

So you are basically still slumming it up in the minors.. I can barch all day in crystal 1-3 as a TH9. Get up to masters/champions and you will look less foolish with your "look at me" posts.

Good point. I place Crystal as a "major" since it's where you begin the DE bonus, it's a demarcation of the end of Barch being an effective attack, and the attacks against the base are more sophisticated in make up than simplistic armies of Barch.

Rather than baseball,I'd liken the leagues to college football...the Power Five Div 1, Division 1, 2, 3.

The point being...those complaining about the update being so terrible because they can bully the little guys with mindless repetitive attacks of Barch... That they have to actually think of a good army composition, and even (gasp) have a defense are without argument minor leaguers who have the mental perscapicity of a house fly.

It came across as bragging...but the thrust was if you use strategy and build a decent base you don't get laughed at or ignored when complaining. The complaints are exactly the issue the newest updates address. Beating up little guys by mindless Barch attacks of higher level troops.

And addressing a previous post...no, I don't attacks lower THs unless they zap my DE, are abandoned, or going to 9 while still and undeveloped 8.

What you are showing is a lack of ability to farm efficiently. I barch and bam constantly in crystal farming de and resources. And you not attacking lower th's doesn't show that you are good just insufferably proud. I farm to get resources. The formula for farming is what is the fastest, cheapest attack that will give me the most resources per hour. I leave the complex attacks for war where they belong not to showboat how I can beat up base that have a bunch of defenses under construction.

Who said I was interested in "efficient farming"? Boring.

One may buy a case of cheap beer, I may buy brandy. The beer is more "efficient" for inebriation. The real question would be....who brings home the girl?

OP Summary - Everyone should be more like me, because I. am. awesome.

I beg to differ. Brandy can get you hammered pretty quick... Beer is more of a coasting drink at the bar or party. When talking efficiency in achieving inebriation most people know a class of brandy will get you there faster than a glass of beer.

Also, there is some dirt cheap brandy out there. Just because you are drinking brandy doesn't mean you are in a different class when compared to a cheap beer drinker. I know plenty of people who can afford a neat glass of expensive scotch but prefer a light beer like Bud Light.

Good try on the analogy again though... I think you are 0 for 2 now in that department on this thread :p

In conclusion:

Brandy = drunk fast (barch = loot fast)
Light beer = drunk slower (mixed army that isnt barch/BAM = loot slower)

Exactly. People put so much emphasis into efficiency and amount of gold per hour that they forget that this is a game, not a job. Splurge a little every now and then and make a big attack for 2 or 3 stars and big loot. It feels great! :D

I do, I use th9 gibarch/gibam/gag. And I can consistently 2-3 stars most completely maxed th8 in crystal and 2star most mid th9 I see. That's quite fulfilling already, and I get to attack once every 18-25mins per army. Not to mention being able to raid collectors I see without wasting an entire war army. Furthermore, I'm using a far weaker army than those 1-3hr long ones and only 2-3spells at most, so it really becomes a test of skill to perfectly execute every attack

Oh, it's you again. :smirk:

Which is more or less what I can do with my TH8 troops in master 3.

I already explained that time to prepare an attack is a non-issue for me. I do attacks spaced all over the day. I do not wish to log in every 18-25 mins to attack. The wait time between attacks is actually a good thing for me, need that time to do real life stuff.

Well, that's what you enjoy.

I prefer not to feel like I'm raiding with one hand tied behind my back. I'd rather see a base fully destroyed and not feel like it happened just because I'm picking on weaker TH.

I have no problems "wasting" an entire war army on a collector raid. Once the army is used it only means I can queue up the next one, log off and continue on with my life.

There's also the whole practice component. I like mastering a whole variety of attacks, even better if I can put my little own twist to them. So testing them out a lot while raiding helps a bunch. I want to use all troops available. Not using some troops is like missing out on a portion of the game's content.

What complaints? The loot is great post update. No one is complaining.

Lol you make a thread about how you are so much better then the "minor leagers" and yet you actively choose to do worse then you could. I put people like you below the people who don't know how to play because at least they have an excuse for why they aren't doing well.

If you're going to be an elitist jerk make sure you're actually elite before you post.

I'm currently in Masters 2 and Gbarch is still working nicely.

I love seeing all the TH9 farmers in the low leagues now that think they're invincible. After being stuck farming the league bonuses in higher leagues against other TH10s only for so long, I'm having a blast farming all those TH9s that are loaded with loot now.

Don't worry. When I find your puny little TH9 base, I will be the one eating it as a pre-breakfast snack :cool:

Farming in the minors is what? Go where the money is, who cares where you find it... :facepalm:

I would destroy your base with barch, calling it simplistic proves that you haven't mastered it
