[Serious] Discussion regarding the effectiveness of the loot system change.

[blackcollector]

A teammate TH9 with full storage just got attacked by a TH10. Before the cap would have been 190k of each. Now he got attacked for 300k of each.

So as a full out attacker, you will get more loot with the update. But if you only play a couple of times a day (let say 1% of the forumers but 99% of the players), you could lose up to 600k of each a day as a TH9.

I will test my TH7 tonight. But I suspect that the balance has shifted to maxed TH8+ because to get the best loot, you now have to be able to farm TH9 and TH10 and not just collector raids.

I have maxed troops, so I don't care. But the loot penality won't be an issue for me upgrading to TH10 now

[Cloudsaves]

Yes, please! Although SC recommended waiting a couple weeks before we really see the effect of this update, I really can't see any easier bases having tons of loot. As of now only the maxed th 9s, higher th 10s have had more than 200k. We will wait and see but more resources in the system is good

This update has not added more resources in the game at all. The only way to do that is collector levels or league bonuses. This is suppose to make getting loot easier for th9-10s. They have not added more loot at all. In fact I am doing some figures now and I actually am starting to see more loot will fall out of the system due to this change.

Do you understand the hole from this new concept?
just go to trophy 800 and slaughter every th7.
Good news for me, bad news for supercell and th 7 player

As a Th10...

the loot appears to be just as I expected:
- low loots very common and having even less loot on them.
- rich Th8,9&10 very rare but with enough force, can be relieved from their wealth.

Hitting the well upgraded TH10s is still pointless, as you can get almost as much from far easier, well upgraded 9ers & 8ers.

So instead of making expensive upgrades easier, they make it a lot harder. It will be easier only to those, who have the will to play the game hours upon hours on one go. So in a way, they unified the game for cuppers and farmers: in order to stay on top of the game, you have stay online 8hrs straight and then pray for little damage from the attack. Farmers just have the option to dump their resources somewhere, while cuppers are "stuck" with hoping for 1* from a higher up.

Just seems wee-bit like the witch & hog updates: supposedly "cool" idea but not all the way thought out.

If you and I (and I guess a lot of other people) expected this, why on earth didn't SC figure this out before the update? Tunnel vision perhaps? Let me say it again, the problem isn't the loot it's the amount of gold flowing into the game. The number of bases with a lot of loot simply won't increase because there isn't enough gold coming into this game to make it happen. It's only shifting from one place to the next, just as before.

Love the new system! up until today i only attacked th10 (im th9)
but so far today i only have attacked th8 and get 270/270 each time
because of easy 3 star.

No need to ever attack th10 again! Woot!!!

I need to drop down 1000 trophies to the 1800 range
and find me more th8! NOM NOM NOM!!!

There is still a loot penalty. Moving up will get you less when you attack lower level THs. Not sure if the equation is as bad as it was before, now that the caps have been increased. The loot bonus was removed only.

Right behind ya; hitting those rich TH9ers, who go after rich 8ers, who go after rich 7ers, who are boned. Everyone, not maxed TH10, will have harder time, unless you are willing to spend 8hrs on one session.

Making game equally dull for everyone. That's good, right?

the previous system is so much better. Read my old post for my comment
