The CURE for Update Side Effects

[JacobP]

THIS THREAD REFERS TO MATCHMAKING IN THE TIME PERIOD AFTER UPDATES & MAINTENANCE BREAKS, WHEN COLLECTOR/STORAGE RAIDS ARE "watered down" BY AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF 0-100k RAIDS. I UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT, ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF LOOT.

In the last update i have experienced many different changes. So, even before the update, finding good raids (storages or collectors) was difficult (after updates/maintenance breaks). The time/gold it took to sift through peoples bases adds up, and reduces from the enjoyment of raiding in general. Then, with every update/maintenance break, it gets worse. Searches are watered down with 20-80k raids. Before, when Clash was ONLY available on IOS the searches weren't as bad. But, due to the increased population of bases, we are experiencing these matchmaking troubles. Then,after the update hit it got noticeably worse. As the collector raids dried up, so did the storage raids. Then like usual, the collector raids slowly came back, along with storage raids. BUT it took longer this time. Even SuperCell has acknowledged this.

"So, again, in short, we expect this new system will mean some BIGGER raids, and also more of a variety of loot targets. You may need to spend a bit more time hitting next"

The negative effects of matchmaking/updates ARE avoidable. And steps should be taken to avoid the continued aggravation/loss of "fun" felt in game. The lack of loot in matchmaking (after updates/maintenance breaks) has been ignored for too long. The loot system change is NOT the solution, yet it is a good inclusion. In order for the system to work we need the storages to fill up faster, especially since the storage % was decreased (less loot available for longer). The production rates of collectors need to be at max level for more bases at TH7-10.

Here is a specified list of how to get clashers to fix the loot with out another big, useless "overhaul"

-add an achievement for maxing collectors
Eaz-E-Loot
1 star: get 5 collectors to level 10
2 star: get 6 collectors to level 11
3 star: get 7 collectors to level 11

-add an additional collector level for TH9&10
Level 12 Collectors
Production Rate:3600-4000
Capacity: 150k-200k (reduced to avoid massice collector raids)
HP: 800-950
-advice to upgrade collectors at start-up

-TINY chance to "strike gems" for maxed gold mines (an INCENTIVE NOT a supply)

In conclusion, the increased amount of players has led to a less-than-enjoyable experience with matchmaking. Finding good raids has been more difficult, due to searches being watered-down with 0-100k raids. SuperCell NEEDS to adress this problem, and take steps to reduce the time it takes to find good bases in matchmaking. The addition of ALL of the suggestions listed above would NOT be detrimental to the longevity of Clash of Clans. The idea of making loot "too easy" (stated by SuperCell) is easily avoidable, if proper steps are taken. Please, Supercell, make Clash "fun" again. Im not even mad that TH10s can take 350k from me :'( its only "fair" (if we got our level 12 collectors or AT LEAST the achievement and other incentives)

Didn't you just post a thread like this? Duplicate threads are against forum rules.

check the thread. commentors went off topic, so i changed the thread to what they were talking about. the general idea was different, and the poll wasnt exact to the topic at hand.

this isnt (just) about matchmaking.

Yeah Jacob,

i know your first thread got a little derailed and off topic but you shouldnt start another just to get your point back on track.

i see in the other you corrected the topic... just see what people say now.

i thought since i changed the entire content of the original thread then this (altered version) thread, wouldnt be a duplicate.

I don't see why people are complaining, like seriously you say you lose 300-400k per raid and then find nothing while searching this to me is just ridiculous. Who take those resources from you? Farmers. So why don't you do the same, you are a farmer right? You can try bam or barch etc, but those aren't powerful enough, try giant armys, balloon armys.. THe longer time is worth it, wait 5-10min extra but get way more possibilities to get good loot. As for losing 300-400k every defence and only getting very few when attacking this is a sign of premature since you are a prime target and easy to 3 star (to get all the loot) and must have low level troops to steal barley any loot.

Not what i was complaining about at ALL. Im not a premmie, just a new TH9. My buildings/walls are maxxed for th8.

If there was that incentive that would give me an excuse to level my collectors from 10 to 11

This has very little to do with him being premature, Not farming properly, or not just doing the same...but very much to do with availeble loot (or rather, lack of loot).


If you have 1000 farmers, but only 100 vilages with good loot, you can be sure that :
1) those 100 vilages with good loot will be hit by the farmers, (since every farmer is searching for them).
2) that 900 of those farmers will not find good loot (allready taken).

So as you see.. We do have a system now where you can be lootet for 300-400k, but not be able to make the same loot yourself.. Simply because there is not enough loot to go around.

The huge load of gold used in search now, then only adds to the problem, making it even worse :-/

I'm a maxed th9 And hogs still steam role my base, and i do have a popular hog base, it's quite annoying when you can't revenge cause they have multi target infernos
