Update FEEDBACK

[Jeezz]

The few villages with full storeages will now give more loot than before..

While the many villages with less in storages will give less loot than before..

This can only result in one thing.. A lot more clicking next to get past the, now even worse than before, villages with poor loot to find one with good loot.

For a th.10 that is 1000 gold disapering out of the game economy for every click.

Now with no new new recourses put into the game, and more disapering from searching, how excactly is this suposed to improve the bad loot situation ?

I updated, no Santa strike, I remember it last year, you said it was back, but I don't have it

Santa strike is not a spell this winter update, it's the present you can buy, if it get triggered the santa "spell" will defend in that area.

I'm commenting based on the forum post about the loot rule changes...

Specifically the following:

To help address these issues, we are making a couple fundamental and important changes to the way available loot is calculated during an attack. With these changes, our objectives are to:

1) Make it easier to save up resources
2) Create more varied and, potentially, more rewarding loot opportunities in multiplayer
3) Provide a better tuned loot balance on offense and defense as players progress further in the game

From my point of view, the loot rule change is a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" issue. Up to and including TH9: I've had absolutely no problems finding available loot and retaining gold for upgrades. By the time my 10-14 day upgrades are finished, I have more than enough gold to purchase another upgrade. The progress bottleneck wasn't available loot when attacking, it was the time it takes to upgrade and the limited builders (I have 4).

I've been trying to attack since the update came out. My experience thus far tells me the new loot rules are not fulfilling the objectives quoted above. In my case I'm seeing an opposite effect. I'm seeing a lot less available loot in the same cup range I've been operating under for weeks. I used to see 175k-250k available gold regularly on TH8 & 9 bases. That's been replaced with 45k-75k. Every once and a while I'm seeing 300k-400k, but only with strong TH10 bases that are way above my attack ability. I'm seeing very few bases (almost none) between those two loot ranges.

In addition to the decrease in loot availability, my base now has a higher loot availability for attackers. This means it's now harder for me to gather and retain large amounts of gold. Again, this is opposite the objectives listed in the previously linked post explaining why the changes were put into place.

Are the loot changes meant to help lower level TH players progress faster, and slow progress of higher level TH players? If so, it's working - at least on the later half.

well i havent read anything in the newspaper nor have i seen anything about it in the news of my local tv.

so, everyone who played before the patch plays today, everyone who left the game before the patch doesnt know about it and certainly wont come back right after the patch

Really? you honestly don't understand?

...

Ok then, for the sake of clarity:

Some (not everyone as you propose) of the inactives probably follow the forum, especially the old crew that left the game but are still curious.

Secondly, some of those who see an update for CoC on their phone will want to try it out, even if they don't follow the forum. It shows up on your ipad or phone as soon as there is an update. your sarcatic comments about news on TV or news paper is really not constructive.

then, there is everyone else who plays daily that will now want to play a bit more and thus create more activity.

it's only normal that after an update there would be more activity on the game. Just look at the level of activity on this forum, it's the most active it's been in a while. Coincidence?

Hi there,

I like almost all the changes it can never be perfect!

I think the Giants were already strong enough... now they're like invincible... On the other hand Giants lvl 5 are really weak...

I can't wait to see what's in the gift box

I have a suggestion for next update... I find it really annoying when you are chatting with your clan, that you can't correct your text like in every other app... (you put your finger where you made the mistake and change just a letter or word). Can you do something about that? That would really be useful!

Someone said that the giants got 1 dmg increase and 20 hp increase, shouldnt be a big difference.
It's the "santa spell" in the box, it's triggered on defence.

That's just not true, people gemmed the new things after each update before. That is just for the maxed players, as a Th 7 you couldn't buy inferno towers when it came out. Same as always, people are more active after an update and again, the new loot system lowered the precentage to help people save up more.

A simple solution would have been to double the league bonus, problem solved. New loot would have been infused into the system without this new complicated scheme.

Nice

We'll be back online soon Did you notice the new maintenance break popup? Now it shows an estimation of how long the maintenance break will last

The update sounds good. Gonna see if its any easier to farm with those loot improvements.
