Keeping loot safe after 1,5 millions - TH8

[tr0pheus]

tr0pheus I'm also TH8 (nearly maxed out).

First off no one should feel bullied because they simply express their reality. I'm new to this board and find that surprising. You have the right to express yourself and so does everyone else. Someone having an opinion you do not agree with does not make it a "whining post". Someone having an experience you do not share (i.e. different level ..etc..) does not make her reality immaterial. Anyone thinking that way is literally an idiot and should be ignored or banned.

I came from the 1200 range (I was at that level for months and doing very well with loots). I was enjoying the game and spent $100 on it. When I enjoy a game I do not mind spending some of my "entertainment money" into it. My previous game was War2Victory where I have spend $1k to $2k on it (yea alright that was crazy...ha...ha). Anyway since the update I could not find anything worth farming in that range (~1200).

I've been climbing up to the 1400-1599 range where I can find nearly decent loots (probably 50% less than before; borderline uninteresting game play for me). But like you, I'm losing more from other attacking me than I can loot back.

Here is what I plan to do short term:
1- Try to use the shield to conserve resource (yes this means playing a lot less..)

2- Spend all resource I can (trying to keep 0 gold and minimum elixir), upgrade your walls as soon as you get enough gold. I have 30% of my walls at maximum for TH8.

3- Maybe go back down in trophy (1200 maybe even lower?) and develop a new game play for looting (all bar/arch/goblin to try to make some profit?). At least not having to hide behind a shield all day would be progress for me. What's the point in the game if I have to hide behind a shield all day?

4- I predict Super Cell will correct this issue. So just be patient and what for the "upgrade/downgrade". I can see them doing this "upgrade/downgrade" after 1 of 2 material events:

4.1) They will see people playing less (ironically maybe after initially playing more as more looting is now required). This might be a matter of 3 to 10 days for them to detect.

4.2) They will actually see players moving on (i.e. quitting the game). This could take from 7 to 30 days for them to detect. No sure what type of metrics they have available to them. I suspect not much or they would have simulated this upgrade and determined the problems.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you very much for the well thought out, very constructive post! I just stated that so that people would not vent there anger to this thread, i understand some people are not very fond of the new looting system, but this thread should not turn into that discussion. I wanted this to be a constructive post about what i CAN do and not what i CANT (reverse looting system,tweak numbers or whatever) I do not have the needed expertise for that.

Thanks again for the good post, will take all the tips and tricks from you and some of the other guys mind, and try them out

Happy Holidays to you to!

i'm TH8. I got 3m for my last tesla tower yesterday. It is really hard. I had to stay online for 4 hours and spent the gold immediately when I got it.

it is really hard to save gold. So many TH9 are waiting for you to save gold and raid you.

Sorry to say but as a town hall 9 I get a ton of loot from th 8 storages. With bam and one rage spell i'm able to steal 270k gold from a town hall 8's storages cosistently. Things that generally deter me from attacking are
1. A completely unlureable cc
2. Well seperated storages
3. All skull walls

Even with those criteria I will still attack if I'm desperate enough.

You should not feel bad. Supercell gave you cards and you play your hand

i meet all the above criterias, so maybe you would only steal 200k from me

Hi mate, didn't bother reading the thread but I'd like to share my personal experiences. Firstly at TH 8,all walls should be purple (at least pink).
Secondly upgrades should be the cheapest gold upgrade first. A 3m Tesla indicates to me you have mixed out cannons and mortars?
Thirdly.. You do not have to play all the time. All you have to do is farm more than you lose. Placing your town hall outside is great way to do this as you will always have a shield. Then you just attack and wait for someone to give you an new shield
Can you please post your base. Most farming bases rarely lose more than half their storages and that's not enough to lose 150k plus per attack
I would recommend you read junliang th8 base compilation thread in this forum. Just google it I can't paste the link for some reason. 90% of the time losing resources is based on what type of base you have
I highly recommend his battleship bass

Finally. It's easy to get more than 150k per attack at TH 8
I used to farm 1100-1300.army was 15 giants, 1 healer, 8 wall breakers, rest archers

Hope that helps. Merry Christmas

Hello fellow clashers!

Let me start of by saying this is in no way a whining thread about the new looting system, i let it be up to others to decide if something is OP/UP. So please do NOT turn this into a thread for letting out your frustration, plenty of other threads for that purpose.

Right now i am a TH8 farming around 1400-1500 ish. For the last couple of days i have tried saving up for my last tesla (3 mil.) but the problem for me is, after i hit around 1,5 millions, people raid around 150k gold from me everytime i log of.

Getting up to the first 1,5 millions is piece of cake, no problems. But after that as explained, i find it really hard to progress even though i make armys that take around 30 mins, and i'm very active. Problem as explained is that i loose more than i can make pr. attack so this turns into a bad circle around 1,5 millions for ME that is.

So have anyone else experienced something similar, and how did you deal with it? I could of course lower my trophies, that should help, but on the other side 1400-1500 ish allready seems kinda low for me.

Please ONLY constructive feedback, once again. THIS IS NOT A WHINING THREAD!

Thanks in advance!

I have experienced this exact same problem whilst playing on my girlfriends account. She is TH8, saving up for level 6 tesla, near completely maxed town hall, near all level 8 walls. As soon as I hit around 2m, I log off for what seems to be 5 minutes, and BAM. 150k-220k stolen.

I have tried switching the base around, but no luck so far. I do not see why she should be forced to go down below 1500.. As a TH8, her best opportunity of farming is hitting fellow TH8's and TH9's up around 1800-1900.

Definitely not a fun game ;-) This might be a matter of 3 to 10 days for them to detect.

(sorry to quote all of it )

I would pick #1 as your best option, and only raid when you can at least stay on for 2-3 raids. Me and my girlfriend play on the same device, so I myself am slowing down my raid times for her to be able to stay on and raid more. She also has an unlurable cc, pretty decent walls and defenses. If you like, you may check out her town. She is in my clan, which is shown in my signature, and her name is SquishySquid. The town holds up well against th8's and some th9's, but then again, sometimes it does not... and more recently she has been getting smashed.

I feel your pain, and I hope you can finish your last upgrades and go to th9 asap to get those xbows.

Happy clashing!

Hi mate!

Well as regarding to my level i would say you'd have trouble finding a better upgraded th8 anywhere. All skull walls and every defense maxed for my level exept that last tesla when i start that, only thing left to do would be two BK levels (9-10) and i could start upgrade the golem, but thats it so basicly my base is tougher to crack than many th9's i see out there.

And again, if i suffer this much, then what about the freshly dinged th8's? must be a nightmare if they have the same trouble as me.

Merry X-mas!

Sorry to hear your GF has the same problem. I checked her base out, and that is not by any means a bad th8, though i would recommend making many more compartments to crack open to go to the juicy center. Feel free to check out my base, which up until just now, has proved to be the best th8 plan i have tried out so far (i cant take credit for it though, since i found the design - but check it out) right now im farming as you can see, but swap around cc, wt, gold storage and place builder outside, remove traps, put in th and you have a very, very good base for trophy pushing as well (my record 2368) and it is so very easy to switch from farm to trophy pushing.
