what was the timeline when low level wall elixir upgrades were rolled back?

I recall the hog nerf (big bomb buff) came out 2 days before my max hogs finished.

Of course our subject is in a league where he belongs so he faces actually having to defend.

Obvious answer is that he is going to dump it into walls. You are not going to convince anyone otherwise........especially not Supercell.

And how are you going to get he elixir from someone who has his Grand Warden maxed out? Remember, these guys have Inferno Towers lv3 and now new eagle artillery and wizard tower levels. You must cook up heavy armies. They don't cost little. And if you fail one single attack, it sets you back having to successfully raid at least 3 attacks for you to recover the elixir wasted on the bad attack.

TH11s are also struggling if you didn't know it. With the only exceptions of probably people with Grand Warden of lb5 and above. Just because you are not experiencing it, it doesn't mean it is not there. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to.

Does not change the fact that after gold storage are done that there is no use for elixir other than GW. Take away elixir walls and TH9-11 would be swimming in elixir. For the record I am fine with elixir because I do not buy into the sky is falling nonsense about elixir disappearing, just saying that if people cry enough that Supercell has a fix for it although it is probably not what the complainers have in mind.

Also no use for DE other than the 300k you need to upgrade minions and witches.

Need elixir, train dark troops. Need dark, train elixir troops.

That is assuming that all of TH11 have maxed King and Queen. I like the option of having elixir for walls. I am not going to lie. But i can live without it too. But for me, elixir has been just dry. For the past few days, i haven't been attacking for gold or DE. My objective has been to get elixir to get my GW to lv5. And oh boy, i am struggling.

Like i said before, i was doing better letting my 1 gem boost doing its thing than trying to use heavy armies where if i fail only once, it sets me back many times more.

Edit: Here is the cost of how much elixir is needed for TH11 to max out their stuff. You were forgetting that things get more expensive as you go up:

Grand Warden	1	6,000,000
Grand Warden	2	2,500,000
Grand Warden	3	3,000,000
Grand Warden	4	3,500,000
Grand Warden	5	4,000,000
Grand Warden	6	4,500,000
Grand Warden	7	5,000,000
Grand Warden	8	5,500,000
Grand Warden	9	6,000,000
Grand Warden	10	6,500,000
Grand Warden	11	7,000,000
Grand Warden	12	7,500,000
Grand Warden	13	8,000,000
Grand Warden	14	8,400,000
Grand Warden	15	8,800,000
Grand Warden	16	9,100,000
Grand Warden	17	9,400,000
Grand Warden	18	9,600,000
Grand Warden	19	9,800,000
Grand Warden	20	10,000,000
Gold Storage	12	2,500,000
Gold Storage	12	2,500,000
Gold Storage	12	2,500,000
Gold Storage	12	2,500,000
Total		136,600,000

My TH10 is making 2 million elixir a day no problem after defenses, my mines alone make over 500k. Like you said nobody is 3 starring you so what do you lose like 250-300k 2 times a day?

2 million a day means you could do a max level GW in 5 days, level 19 GW takes more than 5 days to build. Take away elixir walls and TH 11 would be swimming in elixir, even though nothing is wrong with the amount of elixir now just that people were spoiled by TH sniping. Builders can not even keep up with the loot demand in the community.

I was still making a lot of elixir the first 2 weeks after the update because i was in TH10 and i was still getting matched with TH9. In TH11, i am only getting matched with TH10 and TH11 but the infernos are burning my ♥♥♥♥ off. I went to TH11 right away but it takes 2 weeks for the TH update.

It has been 1 week after i got to TH11, my warden is barely updating to lv 4. I wouldn't have gotten where i am without the 1 gem boost so it says how much i am struggling. And well, I do hope to be swimming with elixir after it reaches lv5. Then i can play as hardcore as i want. Until then, the land looks dry to me.

Having maxed defenses and magmas won't stop people using gowipe to easily get 270k of my resources. In fact it's a curse having maxed walls. Players hit me with double jump or quad quake all the time, those who don't will not get 30% so I might be repeatedly hit

Loot is still fine for me, capped on gold and de. Lix is slightly slower but gw is taking so long to upgrade that I farm twice the amount needed before half his upgrade is done (going lvl 5 currently)

Omg, he's THE ONE. quickly, bring rope, a stake, a (lit) torch, and some marshmallows. Pitch forks for ambience maybe.

Adapt or quit already. Plenty of new players to replace yall QQ players

My question is how long did it take to revert after low level walls were given elixir upgrade capability? I believe it was in late 2014. I can't remember what exactly happened. I do remember there were a lot of complaints about elix drying up.

my interest is obvious, I want to see what the precedent is for SC reactions and response times to negative update feedback?

thanks in advance.

Get enough loot or go to a high enough league and you will be attacked no matter if you have a maxed TH11 or not...

As soon as my VG runs out in T2, I get either 2* (most likely outcome) or a defense win within three minutes...
