Walls, are they worth it?

Hey clashers,

Im going to go ahead and try and explain why I think the walls need to change a bit, I am interested in peoples opinions so please comment and maybe Supercell will work with us if you agree.

They are far too expensive!

Although they help slow troops which is very useful, they can be wrecked by wall breakers very easily leaving your base exposed. To upgrade 225 walls from level 7 to level 8 costs 112'500'000 gold which I am pretty sure costs more than it does to upgrade all the defenses at th8! With the addition of the earthquake spell, walls have become pretty much obsolete. 4 earthquake spells costs 500 DE which is small change compared to how much it cost to upgrade the walls it can wreck. Perhaps if the walls could deal damage to troops then maybe they would be worth the investment but until the cost changes, I will probably leave my walls regardless of how much high level walls could potentially help. I really hope Supercell see this and hopefully other members of the forum will agree and they maybe reduce them otherwise what was the point of all the effort the devs put into designing them.

Sorry for the mini wall of text and thanks for reading and I look forward to reading other peoples thoughts on this. Until then, keep on clashing!!

Yay, there are many ways to bypass walls.

But walls are the element of prestige in the game, they give the hardcore clashers something to constantly work on.

Without expensive walls a number of TH10 would simply run out of things to do. Would you keep playing if there is nothing else left to work on?

Obsolete? I think not. Yes walls do slow people down which is why they are there. Once a wall breaker is used it is gone, they are. Or normally only good to get through the first set of walls. Unless you are using mainly an air attack, the walls are a huge hinderance to get through. The higher level walls can stop a raid pretty well even if they do use an air attack, since most air attacks take out the defense and you need ground troops to be able to get the th and most storages. May have changed with the new drag levels, but I doubt it.

Aside from that, don't the zap,walls do damage when they are hit ? Is something to work for right there.

Bringing 4 earthquake spells may hurt more then most things. I have no used yet but do they not have a smallish area? Not like they hit the whole bases walls all at once. Most people would see bringing a few jump spells and getting over the walls instead of having to deal with damaging them.

The he idea of the walls being costly is that it keeps,people playing the game longer, if I can max my walls and all my troops in a year I will play until then and walk away.

Only other idea I can see that may feasible within your idea is apsomething that others have requested in past which was making the walls themselves have some sort of def added to them, like mini turrets or something. And even that idea was unlikely seeing as it was just not fitting for the game.

lvl 10 and 11 walls really do slow down a ground army no matter how maxed troops are....
can be difference to 3 stars

plus they look cool!

I say no,walls depends on how you place them in your base,and how your base layout? maybe your base layout is pretty lame that many players always attack your base. It's just a matter of courage and patience with the game. If the cost of the walls changes,it'll be unfair to older players as they spent much on those walls.
