TH11 Update. Senior player opinion?
Good evening all.
I'm not here as often as before. But with the new update, I thought I needed to express myself here.
I've checked a few posts. Most of what I'll be saying have been said somewhere. Either in the lost 400 pages official thread. In a few much polite individual thread. And even in the bug section.
But what I can conclude right now is that the elders from the forums, the 1000+ posts players who have been faithful to this game for 2+ years, haven't expressed themselves so much right now.
So I'll make a thread for all those who like me played this game for so long and invested so many hours (a $) because the game was great ... before.
1) Thank you so very much for the most wanted feature from the maxed player. TH11. Sure I was expecting a bit more, but a new def, a new hero. I'm proud to say that I started my upgrade right away. I've seen plenty of gemmed TH11. So this part, nothing to complain
2) I don't mind the fact that the TH now has 1/5 of our resource. If it's worth a star for the opponent, it should have some value for the defender also. Like most of you, I snipped a few outside TH Thursday and Friday. Somebody from our clan advertise a -89 trophies night ... even if we sent multiple messages to everybody to change their base.
3) 30% is a great change from 40%. 40% is really hard on though base. It's hard for me to leave a fight at 26-28% so that the next attacker could have an easier raid.
4) Removing that automatic shield from TH snipe is a big mistake. Unless you attack more than 4 times a day, there is no way you can make up what you will lose in defs while saving for a big upgrade. Most of the casual players from our clan (1-2 attacks per day) will just quit in a few weeks. After 3 years of play. Not because it is harder. Because it is impossible except if you have the time to attack 4-8 times a day. I made a test. I kept 4M of each and 120k DE in the best farm base I can make (all defs maxed). And I was losing between 90k-240k each def. When I dumped all in my walls and stayed around 2M of each and 40k DE, I'm not even attacked. If SC want only hard core players that play 18 hours per day, they will see immediately that less and less players will be attacking. Because it's not even worth an attack sometime.
5) reducing the break from 6h to 3 hours isn't bad. SC even thought of cutting in half the boost time. It fits my play style anyway because after a 2 hour boost, I really need to do something else in my life.
6) that village guard, new calculation for personal break is just ♥♥♥♥. In 3 years I NEVER saw the message for personal break. Now I see it every day ... WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING. I put my ipad in my drawer at the office after lunch and check my message before leaving 4 hours later ... I CAN"T HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOO LONG I WAS WORKING!!! What? nobody figured out that somebody won't be attacked for a full day? Nobody thought that we can go for a full week without getting a shield if we are low enough? I would be sorry if I was Supercell to have released such a BUG in an app that was so popular before. I watched the video from the developer talking about the TH snipe and village guard feature. Guess what, I'm a programmer, and if something is so complicated that the developpers need to explain themselves how it works, well IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.
So, the silent elders from the forum. Am I wrong about some or all of this. Who here love this update? Like everybody I loved seeing those 400-600k of each offers at the beginning. But after 4 days, I must conclude that most when been wipped now. Now I find the usual base, with 60-90k because most players are putting all their loot into their walls. I'm at master 1 and I could between 4-6 people each day dropping their queen to drop into lower leagues.
I suggest, SC, that you make some changes. Because soon you will be losing more players than you will gain.
my suggestions:
a) put back the automatic shield from TH snipe. The snipe gives 3% league bonus and cost 1/5 of the available loot. If some want to do that, let them do it
b) remove that crappy village guard thing. 8 hours shield from TH snipe. Old personal break calculation with 3h limit. That is enough.
c) give things to TH10. Now our TH9 will stay TH9 forever because there isn't enough for them to go to TH10. They are hidden from TH11. They can dump elixir and gold in walls. I was expecting a new dark troop for TH10.
I might not know what you tried to fix for the higher leagues with those modifications and I couldn't care less. I will never be in the Titan leagues ... EVER. Stop trying to push us there. It's not the way we want to play. It's not the way millions of players want to play. Give different rules to titan and legeng players if you want, I don't care.
Fix your game SC.
I agree the update is trash

Unless reversed this update will destroy the game. Most players will leave and what players are left, big camps - will have nothing to raid anymore. It will kill this game. I am finding bugs also. This is a beta update with no testing and really foul rules.
SC needs quality control and decency. They slapped all of their users upside the head, arrogant and foolish.
