[CLOUDS] You got clouds? Post here

Nothing worse than losing your tropics.

its the first day of a new legend league & I'm a bit surprised that people has done more then 30 attacks in one day however I only got 9 attacks in whole day. Is it just with me the clouds or everyone face the issue. Second change in language effects the reduction of clouds?

Changing your language setting doesn’t impact the clouds.

With 100,000 people playing legends, some of them boosted non-stop every minute since the new season started, it isn’t a surprise really that some players have a lot of attacks already. That is pretty typical for the first day.

I definitely like your idea, OP. Being able to attack people that are online, but not having them lose loot or trophies would be great. We need bases to attack but we don't need our wins to be someone else's loss. One of the things the BH really got right was making it so that we don't steal each other's loot.

Unless there was a cap put on the number of attacks per day that would be pretty bad. It would be pay to win (which is even worse than share to win) and would require playing (not searching) all day long. Attack after attack after attack. It would be horrible without a cap on attacks or something like this option doesn’t pop up unless you have been in the clouds 2 hours.

This is the problem, every idea is about attacking more, want to stop cloud? You need to atack less, one attack = one defense, this only on legend league, with no loss of resource with defense, just trophies, legend will only defend against a legend player, done, no more cloud to everyone on legends.....

I may be off topic a bit...But pushing cups lt seems is viable only for the th 11 for supercell to keep th 11 busy nd happy .Th 10 nd below Th push cups at ur own risk nd money...That's my experience tells me nd I have kept a detailed proof of the unfair thats happening with matchup in legends which in due time will share with the community.And it will be on my own terms...

Having just completed my third season of legends as a th10 then I don’t know what proof you claim to have but I guess I am the exception that proves the rule.

No money spent on boosting - no money spent rushing troops or heroes. Just solid planned attacks and a heavy dose of patience.

The bolded part is what I think could fix the clouds partially in extreme cases. But I would say 1 hour instead of 2 hours since 1 hour is a lot of waiting still!

Wo wo wo sweet child o mine, eh? Clouds? This aint legends, this is BB guys...

used to think like that till I got 5300 trophies and started facing twenty minute clouds in builder base

It’s a thing in builder base too, but only if you get well ahead of most and have few online searching at the same time within about +/-200 cups of you. It happens in part because people pushing right up at the high end are a small circle, and you can’t match anyone in the same clan or anyone who is presently showing in your attack log. Basically you are waiting for a possible opponent to hit “search”.

These kinds of games should be design for fun and action. For mind games and having other activities in between, why don't we play chess or go?

Actually, I play chess almost every day. What is go? Do you mean Pokemon Go? I actually play that too. Lol

Maybe you should assume less?

First of all, I apologies, I meant it as an idiom ("self deception is defined as the act of lying to yourself or of making yourself believe something that ins't really true"). And maybe my English command is not so good, but I was referring more to myself - I don't want to self deceive myself and make others follow that too.

Secondly, great post you have on "Legends tip" and there something dragged my attention, where you say: "I am definitely influenced by the fact that on at least half of these days I can have my device searching for a few hours straight". And I believe you should start with this assumption, then it will be clearer for everyone.

Now to clarify: I play CoC for 3.5 years, I helped one clan to reach level 10, then part ways and created my own clan that will soon be level 9 (in fact, in 2 wars from now). I have 6800 successful attacks, I would say at least 30% where lost attacks (i.e. while on lower THs, many times I was farming with GBArch without getting at least one star, many times I was just dropping my hero to get down in Crystal league, etc) - so that would make it for at least 7'600 attacks - which will count to an average of 6 attacks a day. That with my main account, same as you, I play several lower accounts too. Moreover, my account says I donated 326'499 worth of troops, which counts to an average of 260 troops a day, every day, in the last 3.5 years.

On a personal note: I work in IT, I have an 11 years old daughter, I work as a volunteer with children, I do train for triathlons 4 times a week.

I played Legends league just in the last 1.5 months. And here is where my feedback comes into play. Before, was easier to manage my time to play. I could wake up at 5 AM, play 1 hour in boost, do my needed loot, start the needed upgrades. At night, after my family was going to sleep, I could do 1-2 hours boost between 21-23 PM, do my attacks in war, farm, start the needed upgrades. I had all development and upgrades nicely planned, reminders, everything was scheduled. I was playing on my tablets, and used my phone to donate to my clan mates while at work, shopping, etc. - every now and then during my daily breaks.

With Legends, story is different, because it became unpredictable. Like you say, you need to have the game running in background searching for opponents: what if you drive? what if you are a teacher, a doctor, what if you are in a meeting at work, what if you work in a team? what if your daughter has an exam and she needs your help to prepare? what if she says "today I want to have a walk with you"? how does your wife feel if you have dinner with your tablet on the table, searching for opponents? how would you feel if your child will talk to you while you're in the middle of an attack, because the "big whale" come exactly when she wanted to tell you smtg important? you will say "hold on darling, I am done with this attack in 3 minutes and I will be right back with you" - but I work with children, I read children psychology and I have enough experience to know how that child will feel about it.

So, with few exceptions, Legends doesn't fit into a normal lifestyle. However, Counter Strike or Football Manager I can play addictively, by managing my own day, not letting clouds manage my time. Normally you should be in control of your time, and here CLOUDS ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR TIME. It is clouds that dictate what you do next, it is not me dictating what's next.

I reached 5'813 trophies on my first season on Legends, with King & Queen level 33, Grand W level 13, mid TH11, with half of the troops (valk, baby, pekka, healer) being TH10 level, having only eagle, wiz tower, infernos and xbows maxed and having the whole season 5 archer towers in upgrade, but I won't do it again. Maybe when I will be maxed TH11 (and that will probably be before the April 2018 upgrade), I can try it once again to see it once while maxed out.

And I don't even understand the benefits of being more seasons into Legends ... cumulating those trophies, that don't count anywhere.

I hope now is more clear and people can check their lifestyle and have more insights into what Legends means and chose for themselves.

Cheers and clash on.
