    Angry New boost update?! BAD NEWS for many... HERE's why

    Barracks and elixir are now boosted...

    Armed with their fast troop creation and abundant elixir, people will raid more! This is good right?! WRONG.


    1. Now more people will be searching and raiding the all the medium and weaker bases far more! the stronger/maxed bases will still be overlooked, exactly as before.. no benefit here..
    2. Meanwhile, more searching and raiding means more farmers (with lots of potential fat loots) will be attacked by lower level players for their TH, who will then be hiding behind a shield more often for longer... no benefit here..
    3. More lower level bases will be able to re-make troops faster and gain more trophies from these farmers. This will artificially boost their trophy count. These bases, which generally have low loot (partly due to the loot penalty) are now higher up, which means people that are already higher up have to waste more time/gold searching through weaker bases who weren't there before... still no benefit here..



    In general, this update is a good idea for people with short play times (likely addressed because of the recent horrible loot update that penalized them), for non-maxed bases (of all TH levels) and those wanting to artificially boost their trophy count .

    Unfortunately, this update will put further strain on less gold/DE being available, which means more medium/weaker bases will consequently get farmed

    p.s. we will be seeing many of these medium/weaker bases come on to the forums soon to complain

    As if that is anything new. People with ♥♥♥♥ bases always complain. Blaming SC is easier for them to justify rather than coming to the conclusion that their base sucks and placing the blame with themselves where it belongs.

    I was hoping the loot would improve, but so far it's been worse, but recently I have been living on inactive bases. I am also 50 gems from getting builder 5, so no plans to boost my own stuff.

    At the end of the day, all SC want to do is to promote the game so more people play and spend real money on gems.

    Everything... and I mean 100% everything is motivated by this. Don't be naive and believe anything else.

    This holiday update is just another reason to buy gems...

    AMEN TO THAT BROTHA!

    Now, I got en exemplary loot from the boost and now, that helped me give more time to study.

    Till then!

    You act like you can read their minds and determine exactly why they do everything. I also totally agree with dahimi- people with bad bases should realize they have bad bases for a reason! No, that reason is not SC

    Had a good chuckle at that one.

    I love boost specials, just don't like the timing of this one. I would have liked the new loot system to settle more first before entering hyper mode.

    I don't mean to burst ya bubble, but they are 100% after your money i.e GEMS. They are a business after all in a capitalist market.

    You have something called restraint!
    GASP!
    You do not have to spend money!
    I have never spent a cent on this game and I love it.
