Thread: The JUNE 2019 UPDATE is HERE!
Exactly what I came to see if I was missing something that was already available... would be a nice QOL to see how many possible defenses are left and +/- trophies for the day. Would be especially helpful if you are close to getting relegated to Titans.Originally Posted by dmoore1998

Please consider an option where you can attack on top of the 8 given attacks. This would be an option to attack the OLD WAY with clouds. Having both options at once would keep a lot of your oldest players happy. I like the new update aspect for pushing, but the limitation to 8 attacks is kinda blah. Maybe a button with a cloud to attack the old way could be put in the works. Thank you.
There is a big difference between titans or low legends vs. upper legends, though. In CWL, the best clans are 3 starring at a rate of only 10% and that is with plenty of time to scout and a custom army. In a recent post about a private elite war league I think it was more like 30%, but that is with 2 attacks so bases are scouted, and again hours of scouting and custom armies if needed. I just wanted to note for those reading that they don't need to 3 star at rates like you suggest are possible in order to compete in legends because almost no one will do that once they get higher up and are facing full th12s with decent designs. Note I'm not saying I don't believe you. My 3 star rate to start this season off was 50%, but I only have one 3 star attack in my 13 attacks in the new legends and I'm still climbing trophies north of 6000.

Contact SC here. Click here for how trophies are calculated. An idea to improve legends here. I wish max players had a separate loot bank as described here. Caution, I often discuss for the sake of discussion and enjoy having my opinion challenged (or approved of) even when I care little about the actual issue. My balance wish: get rid of tornado trap, make it a decoration.

that sounds about right. My max in lower Titan 1 is 3 starring at least 50% with a rinse-repeat pekkabobat. My mini th12 with a king sleeping is averaging maybe 10 or 20%.
I’m not sure why a near max th12 doesn’t deserve to be in Legends if they can average a 2 star. Unless you trophy drop, you’ll end up in legends just by attacking 3 or 4 times a day. You played the game like they wanted, which means you deserve it.
Being near the top of legends is hard work and now also requires skill, which is also deserved.
TH13 70/70/50/20 #VRUC0LY. 100%F2P. 5466 max trophies.
TH13 70/70/50/20 #28RJPGPPG. 5674 max trophies.
Clan: Wine-O’s #88J8C9JC
Level 18. Recruiting wining adults who war everyday. 🍷
Agree with this and also to have all time high only being an end of legends day number.
Overall really enjoying the change, previously would have stayed down in T2 to avoid clouds this is much nicer for me.
This sounds right. At least for lower legends. I take back saying most previous legends didnt deserve it. I was making a point but shouldnt have exagerated in this statement. My intention was just to temper expectations of the few posts so far where people were expressing dificulty in climbing titans to legend without 3starring to minimize the avalanche of similar complaints i predict (at least for legend)

I have been playing at Legends since it arrived, always as the game was intended (never ever dropping trophies on purpose).
This update makes the game less enjoyable, especially at Legends. How is it "opting in" when I can not play the normal game if I do not "opt in"? Adding yet another game-in-the-game (Legends play) was the least possible needed feature. How on earth will I manage to keep up with 8 attacks per day? For the moment I struggle to get in more than 4 attacks. The cloud problem should have been solved without making this complicated and not very attractive change. So, I am not playing in "farming mode" for now. I was not going to "opt-in" to Legends, because I cannot opt-out of it. So, it seems I will not play at all now. The game is ruined.
I was maxed on Builder Base, but will probably not bother upgrading to BH9 (I never liked the addition of a new game within the game). If I upgrade, then it will be only for bumping the gem mine.
Normal war - well, the gaming being so awkward to play now, I have opted out of war until I can figure out how the game can become enjoyable for me again. The core game idea (reach many trophies) was just killed.
CWL - I will participate, but I will now be out of practice. So be it.
8 Attacks too much Or is it 8 Defences?
Some feed back on the Legends Update.
Firstly, not having clouds is amazing, just makes the game so much more enjoyable. 8 attacks is really not a burden at all when you don't need to wait for the attack to start you can comfortably fit your attack in over a 5 minute session.
As predicted tho not having any attack options to pursue after reaching your limit is a problem in the following senses:
1) There is no way to gain resources now after your attacks are complete so if you are short on resources to get a builder going you have to wait till tomorrow. This is particularly a problem if you have 2-3 upgrades finishing on the same day. With TH12 upgrades costing more that the total earnable gold of a single day.
2) There is very little use for the training boost potion and it represents a far less potent resource boost than it used to.
3) completing events/challenges is now problematic, some challenges require you to win 10 plus combats to complete and sometimes there are 3 different troops needed, yes I do realize that you can do them concurrently, but the task is already more onerous on Legend players you need to prioritize good wins over limited troops choices.
So in short.
I am really enjoying the system but there needs to be an alternate multiplayer system that can work in conjunction with this. Having to choose between either farming resources or playing the legend ladder is just not ideal.
You can opt out legends although the Opt in option button is just silly the way it works. Opting out requires you to drop your trophies to below 4900, this can be done by joining the league and get attacked till you fall below 4900, you will then be out of legends and can get back to your old style of play.
Generally I think you need to try the system out properly to get a better understanding of how the whole system actually works out. There is an inherent flaw in you discussion that misses the reality of how the game plays out.
If you have always just played the game and climbed to whatever natural trophy level you should be at then you should just keep playing that way. If 4 attacks a day isn't enough to stay in legend league then you will fall out of the league automatically you will just carry on as you always have. Yes your trophy count will be slightly lower than it was but you will be where you belong. The upside for you is whenever you do go into legends you will have all your attacks cloud free for that day which is a significant time (and battery) saver.
Personally from what you have described about your play style, there should be very little downside of this update for you, only benefits. The legend league system was designed precisely for people like you so give it a try.
