Loot, League Bonuses and Trophy Offers <-- Discuss it HERE!

"Ok dear dev team. We have a game called Clash of Clans. Our director just mentioned on the meeting that it doesn't matter that is properly balanced and all mechanics are working fine right now. The main goal for the next update is to get even more money prom players. Any ideas?"

Yep! Let't check it out:

1. To make 'shielding' even more complicated. Players will not be able to farm resources (or to protect them) just easily as now due to they will not be able to get shield because of TH is outside of the village and can be easily taken down. This means that any player with more resources would be more likely attacked by other players. Did you get me boss? Many players will be forced to buy missing resources!
2. What we can also do with those players that can spent more time in a game (when trying to max their loot)? I have a great idea - Personal Break. Let's make farming more restricted! And if there will be many 'haters'? They can BUY personal shield or guard, fair enough.
3. Looting and league bonuses - guys, using telemetry we've found that there are also many players using some weird cheep armies. I have a great plan boss! We need to distribute loot across more buildings to make it more complicated. Also league bonus can be scaled - less destruction, less bonus. Did you get me? Players will be forced to use more expensive / strong armies to be able to get the loot. Also the time required for army prep. is significantly higher. If you take into consideration Personal Break together with lower frequency of attacks - again, our goal is almost there - to make farming harder and to force players to buy gems / resources for expensive upgrades.

Any other ideas team?
Boss, there are still more things on the way. E.g. we can think about no loot from collectors at all. Also we can try to introduce all our changes as a big step for CoC to be more likely 'e-sport', you know. Basically more players would be more likely forced to buy resources however if they spent quite a big amount of money, we should offer them a 'feeling' that they are special ones. Any idea about names / titles? Titan players, League of Ancients, something like that..

"Great! You are the best team in SC. I hope that our mission will be successful. And if so I have a great surprise for you. Not just one actor - Liam Neeson; we will be able to pay also for Johny Depp, Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt. Our next advertisement will be directed by Mr. Spielberg and our target is not just super bowl but the first broadcast from Mars!"

Long story short:
Unfortunately another crappy game mechanic change. I'm really disappointed due to I was considering CoC as just one of those games with some kind of evolution however stable basics. I can see just big push on monetization right now. Guys again - you've scr*wed up Boom Beach before, why are your trying to make the same mistake twice?

you still will be using full armies to raid but will get that additional league bonus too in higher leagues.

dont think collector raids in gold or lower will be as profitable now, thoughts?

I have only ever farmed in gold/silver and have never relied on the loot bonus so my plan is to stay there at least for a few days post update to see if it's still the same. If not I'll need to push.

All that hype for update is TOTALLY Gone now! There is nothing interesting released yet & i'm sure the next sneaks will be Townhall 11 and its stuff which isn't worth my time as i'm th9.
W.O.W Supercell you told us about this update in August i guess.
And this is what came. :'/

Hmm, looks like GiBarch appears to be my farming troops of the future. Beyond that I don't see the changes effecting me beyond that. I can live with the changes.

1. League bonus is now rewarded based on percent damage, from 0% to 70% damage. The key benchmarks are 0%, 50% and 70% damage:

0% damage rewards 0% of league bonus.
50% damage rewards 80% of league bonus.
70% damage rewards 100% of league bonus.

In addition to those key benchmarks, the scale for everything in-between works as follows:

You earn 1.6% of league bonus for each percentage-point from 1% damage up to 50% damage.
You earn 1.0% of league bonus for each percentage-point starting at 51% through 70% damage.

Example #1: If you do 30% damage, you will be rewarded 48% of league bonus. That's 1.6% x 30 = 48%.

Example #2: If you do 65% damage, you will be rewarded 95% of league bonus. You earn 1.6% on the 1st 50% damage plus 1.0% on the remaining 15% damage.

2. Based on screenshots within the release notes, league bonuses appear to have increased by approximately 12%. For example, 100% league bonus for Champions III is now 200,000. It was 180,000 previously.

3. The way forward for farmers - in my opinion, new strategy will be to push as high in trophies as possible where you can consistently receive 100% of league bonus by consistently doing at least 70% damage.

4. As a farmer, aiming to do at least 70% damage on every attack means a few things:

More time spent training stronger armies.

More resources spent training stronger armies.

Less raids per day. Say for example a person has 6 hours per day to farm. A larger portion of that person's time will be spent waiting for armies to train.

In my view, the end result is less raids less frequently, but bigger hits. Each raid may yield more loot that before, but enough loot to offset the old method of many smaller raids in shorter periods of time? That's my question. Will need to see how it plays out I guess. Hoping for the best. Feeling somewhat optimistic.

you sir, nailed it!

So i will climb higher leagues to be attack from stronger th for the "IMPROVED" league bonuses (+10k)?

What about the league bonuses for gold 3-1? and silver 1? many people farm at that trophy range :\ need to know about these ASAP!! anybody here?! help!!! :P

I think we all have to face the fact that this game will not sustain forever like we r now going to th11 but it is impossible to get th100?? Sc realised this and plan to fully utilised this game while its still on its peak by introducing all these disastrous updates, just to squeeze the last drop out of the juicy wallets out there...
They don't care whether they will ruin this game or not, bcoz one day the game will shut down itself. It's time to get some money back.
Rip top grossing game in Google play.
No worries, storages collectors and ♥♥♥♥♥ TH at the corners!!!

As the most unbalanced TH, a 10 is exactly what you want to try and stem the flow of a lot more attacking with full army's to get that loot. Although being rushed you are open to the more developed attacking armies of higher lvl TH10's, it might be easier to retain loot.
