Remove cheap shield

[Cale123123]

SargeantZeal -your examples are legit.Maybe I overstated by saying "eliminates" but it helps greatly.

I am a TH7 with my town hall outside my base, and I'm not maxed out yet- still have 3 mortars to Lvl up once, 1 wizard tower to Lvl up once, and 3 archer towers that need one more level. And I have all Lvl 6 walls- not maxed
And the people always go for my TH.
I haven't had but 2 defenses where I lost more than 50k of each resource- and they didn't go for my TH

it's the point of being a farmer.... you loose hardly any loot and still get a 12 hour shield- Win Win situation

My point was and still is that cheap shielding By putting Th outside should be limited, because that makes the game too easy to advance using this tactic- it eliminates the need to have a decent base to protect your resources.Why should a player with limited or low playing skill take advantage of this and progress so easily?TH is supposedly your most valuable building-"the heart" of your village, where people live, feed, sleep etc.So it is ok to leave i to the enemy because it makes it so much easier to protect resources, right?And what you receive in return- minus 10 cups and FREE SHIELD(feels to me more like a REWARD, rather than PUNISHMENT)

I will see the other tread now, but there the focus changed into something different-everyone started telling me what the benefits of leaving Th outside are as if I don`t know that already.

It will take the average guy more than a year to farm to a maxed TH10, and that's without walls and heroes maxed out.
Easy to advance... Sure... LOL!!!

YOU THINK FROM TH8 AND ON IS EASY!!! What world do you live in? I've been at th8 for quite some time now, and I've JUST gotten to the point of having nothing but teslas and walls to finish, and you think it's easy!!!

3 tesla coils going from 5 to 6 takes 12 days, 3 million gold EACH! You think your idea is going to allow you to get even that far? You think when you're done farming for the day, and you tuck yourself into bed with your idea implemented, you think you'll be able to hold onto whatever you raided for the day?

How about this, since you're so against the idea of the free 12hr shield, why don't you protest and leave your 4 x 4 TH inside, and push your resources to the second layer, and let us all know when it's full so we all can just hunt you down and take every last drop of DE and elixir, and every last piece of gold.

If anything at th8 you should be BEGGING for longer free shielding. I don't care how good your defenses are, gowipe, gowiwi, mass dragons, balloonions, hog rush, all will destroy your base.

How old are you? Have you even thought about what your bad idea will do to the economy, people will be constantly raided into empty pockets, and you will end up hitting next until you can't hit next anymore.

If you want to flex your skills and muscle, I suggest a Korean developed game for you, they LOVE making your life miserable while you pay them money. Sounds like it's right up your alley.

I actually read through your entire post (5 minutes of my life I will never get back), If it's lore what you're looking for, then I also suggest you build your layout as to how it would architecturally be correct. You should put your mines in the back somewhere because mines are in the mountains, you should spread your elixir and DE drills all over the map but on the outside of your base, then you can put walls around your defenses and your precious th where all your "villagers" eat, sleep, poop, whatever. You should put your resource storages behind your TH because that's where they belong aesthetically. All your tower defense should be on the outer edge behind one layer of wall, actually just put 2 or 3 layers back to back together, because thicker means stronger walls. Oh I can go on and on, but to continue, just because you deem the TH to be the most valuable building, doesn't mean everyone else does. There are players who play for trophies and glory, there are people who play to build awesome bases, and there are people who just mindlessly make armies and dump them on the first base that pops up and they get enjoyment out of seeing their troops do stuff.

Sorry chief (and I use the term loosely), but you better just keep your ideas to yourself until you've actually thought it through instead of posting when you're upset that you couldn't find a juicy raid because someone beat you to it and shielded them up in the process.

Big fat NO!

[rynoster]

To be honest, I'm glad there are people like you, makes me NEXT less. Put your TH inside!!!

[Venatoreo]

First of all, I think when you post you need to be more specific as to why you want these changes, came back from your first post, and it took 10 pages worth of people telling you the same thing over and over before the point was even made.

So you think there's no loot in the system, and it's cheap because people are "hiding" from the servers. Well of course they are. They've raided and collected for hours per day and you don't expect them to have some form of keeping it away from other people?

How about this, put this in a perspective of a real life situation. If you had millions of dollars, where would you rather have it?

1. Stuffed under your mattress in your home (your TH) where you eat, sleep, poop, whatever, where you can constantly have someone with big guns break into your home, and take all your money?

2. Dispersed over numerous bank accounts (your storages), where in those banks there's security guards, cameras, security system (your defenses) to "shield" your money (your resources), from would be attackers?

You're asking to take away the only form of actual defense against attackers from taking your money. Sure you say my example for 1 is weak, actually it isn't. You're th8, you cuddle up your th in the middle with your resources, guess what? Hog rush, mass dragons, your defense are gone, all that's left...your house and your money, sitting pretty all in the middle.

So what you're asking will result in a lot of disgruntled players resulting in a severe drop in player base, and SC will have lost all those potential dollars they could've made. The one's who stay will probably buy a shield here and there, and then find it too costly to play the game and they will leave because they've practically gone broke trying to save up for that level one inferno tower.

I hate to tell you, but there's loot all over the leagues, I'm th8 and I've gone as high as gold 1, to as low and silver 3, and I can tell you for th8, there's pretty much where all the easy money is, just gotta look for it.

So you hate having to hit next a lot of times so find good loot, or you hate the fact that you want to revenge someone, but they just got sniped and now shielded. That's tough, everything can't go one person's way. It is possible to farm with your TH nested in the middle, but guess what, you won't want to raid those people either because they're just going to farm what they need, spend it, and then wait and collect from collectors, until their next worker is free.

You're saying you have skill, you're so smart, and the TH SHOULD be the most important building of all buildings. As someone from your first post suggested, go play Boom Beach, also made by Supercell, and holds a lot of similarities to CoC. The twist there, you lose your HQ, you lose, everything that's not protected by your vault, gold, wood, stones, iron, every resource that's unprotected, gone. Sounds like your kind of game.

Why don't you play that, and show us your "skill," go make the top ten, if not top 20 or 50. I'll keep an eye out for ya.

[Topherccino]

Don't think this is necessary.

[bigbus30]

Farming has become an important aspect of the game and makes the game less boring. It adds a new variety of layouts to use and prevents you from just doing the same thing over again, trophy trophy trophy. Farming makes some troop useful, and I'm pretty sure Supercell intended it to be that way. If you took it away, there would be a major imbalance for some of the troops, and it would hurt the game. Then Supercell would have to make some completely new troops are make some major changes to the current ones.

OK guys i think his peabrain has got the point . he didnt reply anymore

[mikaru]

One of the reason i put my th outside of the base is as a bait for lower th to snipe on it so i can revenge them sooo you may think of it as strategy.... I get 3/4 th snipers taking down my th and revenge them to get more

[StephenFord]

My suggestion is to get the 12 hour shield only when you get destroyed 50% or more regardless of your TH beeing ruined or not.Let`s put an end to the free shield "smarties" and the snippers era!

I agree with the shield-at-50-percent idea. People are getting shields this way all the time in the champions league, which is unfair. However, to retain farming, we should give people a shield whenever the attacker gets one star.
