I have 4 account...one of them is th7 with no ad bt fully maxed troops and hero...
It is hard to play now with all these bases to i play mainly on my main base (th9) and left the th7 with no ad alone with storages and mines out...aftr 5 days i went there only to find filled mines and drills...no one attacked me in 3days...
Yes sc it hiding dead bases....

So which one is it then(from the ones that make sense), 2 days or 4?

Chief Pat admitted that dead bases were being cut from the search queue

it isn't a false rumor it is the truth because of an unintended side effect. for example lets say there are 1000 bases, and 50 of them are dead. 800 of the remaining bases are th snipes and the remaining 150 are trophy pushers (I;m just making up numbers to show my point).

now we can safely assume the 800 bases that were snipes had a shield almost forever since they get sniped whenever available. this means only the 50 dead bases that were on the bottom of the queue and the 150 trophy pushing bases were left. the chance of finding a dead base is higher. now with the patch.....you have to add the 800 bases that were once forever shielded into the pool so your chance of finding a dead base is almost non existent.

thus they did not "remove" dead bases, its just impossible to find because you will get matched up with literally EVERYONE in the whole world before the dead base at the bottom of the queue appears. in the end the result is the same.

Can you link the post? And like I said, dead bases being gone from search isn't the thing people need to complain about. Complain for a better economy, dead bases aren't the issue.

That's mainly the point I am making, I know that dead bases are harder to find. I'm arguing that they haven't been completely removed intentionally and that yes they are found less often because of the 800 more in the queue.

it is the same thing. if they are harder to find it messes up the balance and they should add more dead bases to fix the balance. doesn't matter if no one finds it because its harder to find or if they were removed the problem still remains.

If I bumped into you because I wasn't looking and made you spill your drink all over yourself, it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not, it was my fault. I should at least apologize or even recognize that I caused this to happen and do something to try to fix the situation. if I just looked at you covered in soda, ignored you and walked on, it would rightfully ♥♥♥♥ you off and I would be a horrible person.

its not like they don't know about the lack of loot....people have been complaining about it even before the update launched. their rating in the app store plummeted, top people have quit the game, the forums have been badmouthing them for literally weeks yet they don't even acknowledge anything is wrong.

It is a nice theory, but I don't see any reason that would be the mechanics of the search algorithm. In fact, it would make zero sense because you would be put at the bottom of the queue as soon as someone passed over your base and would sit without a shield until "everyone in the entire world" came up first.

your right its just a theory, but the point I was trying to make (badly) was it doesn't matter why the bases have disappeared, the end result is they are not there, everyone including sc knows they are not there, loot has all but vanished because of it, and sc is doing nothing to fix it
