Suggestion to Tweak Anti-Zapping Update

As we now know, lightning spells will no longer affect storages. This creates a problem, though, outlined in this thread: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...p-it-to-get-50. I suggest that lightning spells only affect storages AFTER a troop actually does damage to it. This would still prevent zapping, ​but it would allow for lightning spells to be able to destroy a storage that has very low health. With my idea, the shield around the storage would break once a troop does damage to it. Because most people put their dark elixir storage in the middle of their base, the only way to get the dark elixir would be by doing an all out raid to get to it. I don't think it's necessary for lightning spells to not be able to damage storages at all and I think that this is a good solution.

Nice idea. I don't believe the update prevents zapping as a whole, it just prevents direct damage. Indirect damage is still going to work.

Very nice idea
i said it in the sneak peek thread that we could take 49% with an elixir storage who still have 50hp it will be unfair for them to loose the raid with 5 light spells in our army
So ur idea are a very good solution

Yes - I definitely think you should go on a lightning spree after the update and zap as much DE storage as possible. Indirectly of course. Def worth your time and loot.....

I would be in favor of letting storages take damage from lightning, but no loot is transferred as a result. This would allow you to get that extra %, perhaps the 50% or 100%, but not be a slime ball and steal loot you're too unskilled to take otherwise.

Zapping by indirect damage? The problem will return. You don't want to see millions of complainants doing that again, do you?

Now this is a decent compromise, it requires people to actually try and rewards them for doing it, I like it :)

Sorry - I was in a sarcastic mood at the moment. I dont think storages will give up any loot, direct or indirect after the update. I was sarcasticly suggesting the person spend a lot of elixir on lightning when they would not get any loot at all.

But in all seriousness, I do think lightning should cause damage to resources as the concern that it might make the difference of a star seems legit. Having it take damage from spells without giving up loot seems like a good compromise.

Another compromise should be that storages act as they used to while in war. As the loot is not taken from the real user account, they should just do what they used to do if in a war.
