Bring back dead bases in attack search.

At first I was so hyped about the update all the additional loot you can get raiding because now Th snipes are non existent. I thought they would leave dead bases for us to pillage. They now have eliminated those dead bases from our search. My clan is getting frustrated with the loot they have to forage for and they are using big armies to get them. Unfortunately it is not enough to make up for the elixir spent on those large armies. Some of my clan members want to throw in the towel and call it quits. The frustration is high and the morale is very low.

My suggestion is to bring back the dead bases and calm the clash community a bit since the update.

I fully understand that its a game that is in the corporate world and they need to make money. That is clear. But at the same time you need to bring major changes gradually in baby steps so that people can slowly adapt to the new clash way. That is like going to Mcdonalds and all of a sudden the menu has instantly become soya burgers and salads all at once. Clashers need their meat or they will go elsewhere.

Bring back dead bases.

NO KIDDING??? I had no idea DB's were dropped! no wonder I haven't seen any!!! like the PB wasn't bad enough!!!

I'm not sure they have removed them? I have gotten plenty of "dead bases" post update. You may have a higher chance to match a th level the same as yours which could reduce the chance of you getting lower level th levels that are a dead base. But if that is all you were doing was hitting dead bases were is the fun in that?

Dead bases are not as easy as you think if you want to three star them. Especially the maxed out bases. The dead bases are filled with collecter storages good for barches. Sometimes I hit a dead base that was 3 ths higher than me. Even with barch it was not easy.

I am now a th9, max defense working on lava walls and hero levels. I have used some form of barch my entire clash of clans carrier. You can definitely 3 star or get close to it taking every bit of loot from dead bases. Sure maybe you need to drop a few spells and being some wall breakers but if the profit will be 300-400k of each it is well worth the investment.

And as a farmer if you are using an entire army to try to 3 start dead bases you are doing it wrong. Try using 1/2 of your army to snipe as many collectors as you can on the outside and then repeat. no need to waste troop build time if its not worth sending all of your troops. If you cant get to the middle so be it. By the time your attack is over you might have 3/4 full camps and you can go out looking for another base to hit using least troops to get max out of it. The key thing here is to not care about the league bonus, you waste more troops trying to hit 50% more times then what the loot bonus gives you.

Not to mention there are still a ton of people with Town Halls outside of there bases. I find those all the time, drop a few archers on the th and boom 50-70k each and 200-500 dark in less than 3 minutes.

The dead bases did not go away. Remember the cited, pre-update stat of 80% of attacks were TH Snipes? So guess what, the place got crowed with real players, and drowned out the easy to hit dead bases.

Just as well. Was like a cheap sugar rush. After awhile, it gets bland, and then you start questioning if CoC is really any good. You don't make a compelling game by filling it with easy windfalls of reward loot. That is a very good way of instilling bad habits and bad expectations.

I'm not surprised that people are up at arms; their unhealthy baselines for effort and reward got reality checked right into a lava wall. Now there are scores of players that really don't know how to play as intended, and suddenly being forced to preform at a level they should have been all along. This explains why people say 'farming is dead' since the dead/abandoned bases are drowned out (not removed) and are faced with a lot more Next button pressing, or forced to put their ill prepared skills against bases with a significantly more defense than they are used to.

They do costly 'war' attacks in Clan Wars, and on-the-cheap attacks for loot. Now more 'war-grade' attacks are needed to get their loot they used to have an easy time getting, and are now ticked off because of it.

I'm sorry. Really, I am. I'm one of those on-the-cheap farming attacker, and now I need to make a real army, and catch up on method and means to effectively taking down TH9s. Like heck I'm really for TH10s yet, even with wonderful Freeze spell, to give us a fighting chance with TH10s. I knew I sucked, and I knew if this kind of updated happened, there would be much pain in transmission. Only thing I can offer is to look up attack methods that people do in higher leagues, since they don't farm up there where the league bonus loot is so high. You can modify what works to be cheaper, and more loot grabbing focused, and go from there.
