I’m done with BH

[Noctaire]

I’ve always found it odd that if you enjoy the game, you’d pay to skip some of it.

You’re not really skipping it, though. The game is designed to be played with maximum upgrades in place all around. The more mature your game, the more enjoyment you’ll get from the game. This is very much part of the difference between the BB and HV.

On the HV, there’s something to be gained from sticking around at each TH level a bit. At TH7, you master Dragon attacks; TH8 is where you first really start digging into combo army comps (Golem enables that). Both levels have a mix of troops with differing strength but that are effective. TH9 is combo army comps, even more new troops, and the first major defense (x-bows) not to mention the Archer Queen. Across all 11 THs, you can literally choose your opponents, skipping bases you just don’t want to go up against. It’s a completely different dynamic.

On the BB, the goal is to reach the top level as quickly as possible. It’s all about enhancing your overall capabilities - period. There’s little to no benefit to be gained at each BH level along the way. You’re not learning new combos, new troops take months to reach useful levels, and you cannot skip through opponents so you will regularly face opponents of superior strength. This is why rushing is the order of the day here and you’re not really skipping anything; once you’ve mastered the basics of the game, there’s just no good reason to hang back at any level as soon as you are strong enough to move up.

Well actually you’re wrong here. What it can show is that it’s perfectly possible to progress a low BH base when starting later, which I gather is part of the intention, along with exploring the experience of a hyper rush project from a new angle. The packs just shave some build days off for him, which is almost immediately negated by attacks won on that first day or two, taking him to a higher trophy point with bigger and harder opponents, and the lower your BH level the less impact a pack makes as so many you match are ahead as you rise in trophies. The place a pack truly makes an impact is when it’s a pack for a newly released BH level (immediate wholesale rearrangement of the landscape for all), not on going to a new BH level for you alone.

You're wrong. Pretend that buying packs won't give you an advantage on such low trophy range; even when taking in consideration the fact that BB has been released for months now ; is just stupid. Pretty sure you don't need statistics to say without doubt there are not much who did bought the packs at every bh upgrade nor used their 3 attack loots everyday. Contrary would have brought them in higher trophy range regardless of their skills.

I have no idea how you got that out of what I posted, or how you might have thought anyone was doing that. It was a simple point for the OP: try rushing to 8 instead of maxing at 7 first if he/she before quitting wants to try something else that might rekindle the fun, and sound advice for the average B.B. player. Whether anyone else buys packs or not or gems or not is irrelevant. Noc’s project is really only relevant for showing the same approach works when starting from even well behind the OP’s progression point (which was raised as a doubt and answered with that).

It still doesn't show anything.

Nobody said it didn’t make your progression faster - it obviously does, that’s what you are paying for. Bigger is able to sit at a higher daily loot point than before. But that higher point means matching bigger and/or stronger again... the whole B.B. is this, pushing to the equilibrium point where you win as often as you lose. So a pack when it’s on the max available BH level is in one sense just a way to match other pack buyers quickly. On a smaller base it’s just a quick way to match those in some way stronger. No need to pay for that, an alternative is rush and add the new items as even level 1 on new items adds more dps than waiting on maxing one more defence at the previous bh level. Then you get back to losing half your matches for free, haha... albeit on higher trophies and more loot per day.

Just take it easy n play slowly. The more u rush things the slower it gets.

The matchmaking is broken and Clash does not care!!!!! I get matched to BH8 90% of the time how is that fair. I have too many troops to upgrade yet before making the jump to 8. Why won't they fix the BH matching. I went from 80/20 win to a 20/80 win since you brought in BH8. GAMES SHOULD BE FAIR.

To use your use of caps WHY HAVEN'T YOU UPGRADED TO BH8 THEN?!?!?! DID YOU NOT GO THROUGH THIS EXACT SITUATION WHEN BH7 WAS RELEASED?

This topic is like a kicking a dead horse. It's dead. Stop kicking it. You are the one punishing yourself by not upgrading so you should stop being unfair to your game.

Lol so if I just upgraded to BH7 I should jump to 8 to make it fair. That kind of thinking is why they haven't fixed the matching yet.

People have a right to state how they feel about builder base game play and the fact that so many post about the same issue and concern repeatedly means it's anything but dead, and instead is an issue that many people want to see fixed. I fully support rrobert05's view and hope SC considers revamping their current system.

And the fact that so many replies about upgrade your BH also mean the game is playable and not dead. A lot people may want to see it fixed, but we all know SC will not fixed it based on their design values of the game. And lastly, good luck on you wait for SC to revamp their current system.
