Dark Elixir Feedback Thread

[Quil5ilv3r]

I think I'm not going to waste my time, energy and resources on dark elixer just yet. It will only make me a target for higher lvl players. Going to sit back and upgrade my existing base first. I probably will get the second x-bow.

the cost of upgrading hero does not sound like a big amount 10k, 12.5k etc etc. but then, i dont think there is enough dark elixer going around at the moment. even through raiding, i doubt ppl will get enough Delixer.

it will be a really tough time to upgrade your hero not to mention also upgrading your Dpump n Dstorage.

my conclusion is, those who gem, they get heroes much faster and can get it to a high level easily.
those who do not gem, tough luck to you, you cant break or beat base with heroes as you dont have heroes and it will take you donkey ages to come even close to beating them and/or having a high level hero.

i guess this game is to please those who have obtained gem and keep them interested so they will keep purchasing gems.

for those who dont gem, why do SC need to take your interest into account? you pay, u have a right to talk and have your interest fed. YOu dont pay you dont talk. i think SC is moving along these lines. Keep those paying interested and look after them. for those who dont pay you are a freeloader.

to be honest i only spend gem on a builder. but i guess i just hafta face the real truth and harshness of the reality of the game.

u gem, you get heroes, you own bases of those who dont have heroes. for those who dont have heroes and dont gem, good luck, it will take u a long long time.

that wat the phrase " money make the world goes round" is about right?

cash is everything in real world or in virtual world like COC...


SC could improve some achievement for those who doesnt wan to spend on gems....

i am currently stuck with 3 builders and having 800gem....but look like those achievement are hard for me to get 200 more for my 4th builder.as most of my achievement are already at 3stars and 2stars


donating 25000 troops for 250gem took donkey years

I personally think that the collection rates are way to low. I am fine with having to upgrade things to get them "better" but even at max upgrade, these drills collect too slowly compared to the cost of the items using the resource (and the odds of you being raided during your saving up for them). Its far easier to grind out Level 3 Pekkas than even bother going down the "max barb king" route.

So, constructive feedback:

Dark Elixir - Good concept as an additional resource but...

PROS

• Access to new "things" and so keeps things fresh
• Something else to raid (Elixir is almost useless to a lot of high players who have maxed units and bases)

CONS

• Takes up space in an already crowded base - converting an existing elixir pump / storage would be my preference!
• Takes too long to generate - I think most non-gem players agree (??)
• Apparently low raid levels (less than 100 per fight in most cases) I appreciate this is good and bad depending on point of view
• High probability that the mega spenders will have yet another way to dominate the game meaning average players dont bother trophy hunting (coming up against max hero units before they've even saved 1,000 dark elixir) - farming anyone?

So in conclusion, Im more excited about the trophy donation counter than I am about dark elixir although we still need to know who donated what troops to us when viewing clan castle...Anyway, perhaps an update will balance stuff out if dark elixir does not take off as the devs thought

I'm more than happy with my lv1 Barb king. I will do the upgrades to my drill until raiding Dark Elixir becomes profitable and useful.

Don't really see the point of th7 even messing with de storage or heroes.

It means that when raid some one with dark elixer u will be able to store it ... Only when you get to th8 the game gives you the capability to then earn it your self from the dark elixer drill... Basically the game is giving you a head start in earning the dark elixer .... Surely that makes sense. 😝

That's the pretty side of it. But I guess their real intentions are not those... They want you to fill it up with gems. And you got to say, its a pretty good plan, cause being at lv 7, having the storage, looking at the hero everyday, and getting attacked by people who got them...
Yeah its lame but I'm pretty sure it will work

OK so I just stole 877 dark elixer, thanks gemmers !!!!
He had about 16k in storage and not much in collectors.....th9, Im th8

[Illustris]

Having 75% (in the case of dark elix) vs 50% for uncollected gold/elix, if these are the numbers, seems OK to me, as one person's opinion.

5% for lootable tanked dark elix vs. 25% for collected gold/elix, again, if these are the numbers, seem OK to me.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness to spread this out:

1) there is a penalty or incentive to play frequently and tank, which seems reasonable

2) for a "valuable" resource (well, at least for us who are scrambling trying to find any to loot), it seems reasonable to lower the cap from 10% to 5%, to encourage the frenzy to find some

I just had a heart attack at the thought of 75% of tanked dark elix... yikes
