Loot - The Big Discussion

[Godzilla86]

haha I hear ya. I wish some days we could swap accounts ( not literally ) to see what others see. I personally have not got a problem with loot, but thinking more and more about this issue, I don't see why soooo many, what look to be well established players, are complaining about literally finding nothing.

There must be a problem, even if some of us do not see it.

Finally someone that seems to understand it!
A lot of people seem to be of the principle: "I have no problems so there are no problems".

I have been in gold I, II, III en Crystal III and II. And at each one of them my average searching time was 15 minutes before finding an interesting base (Either collectors or raidable storages). That's way too long. It should be max 5 minutes or so.

I tried barch and changed to loonian after a while. Loot just sucks in every league with every combo for me.

Don't get me wrong, I was one of those guys for a bit... That's my bad, and I apologise for it.

I am starting to look at a bigger picture though, and I feel for all those that are experiencing such a bad time.. Let's hope something can be added/replaced/changed to help this situation out. I don't see anyone asking for an easier job, just not to be given breadcrumbs instead of a loaf, if you know what I mean lol.

Yeah I got U!
This morning I had two idle builders. Didn't have that since the beginning of the game.
Very very frustrating.

"Fixing" the loot was a cheap ploy for SC to milk their die hard customers. Anyone who does not see this is a blind fanboy. This game runs on inactives. If you used your collectors alone to upgrade, it would take a century to reach TH10. They changed the algorithm, and put many inactives MUCH harder to find. Turning raids into (next-next-next-attack) to (next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-next-attack)

It is very simple, loot is bad. The game will eventually lose popularity. When it loses popularity, it will lose money. and SC will have to react. I was going to put in 10$ for a 5th builder, but he is not needed now. I'm sure I'm not the only one who did this. Fix the problem or I will be enjoying one of the many other IOS games.

I agree with this statement. I now come back to the game less and less since Dec/Jan. Clan Wars kept me interested over the past few weeks, but after 7 battles, it has lost it's flare and I am digressing back into playing my other games. What once was an enjoyable experience has not turned into frustration. I will continue to check back with these forums over the next few weeks, like I have since Jan, but I am not hopeful.

A quick question, did anyone ever figure out if changing your location helped at all?

Yeah I agree. I haven't had any issues, or perhaps my standards are lower and I"m a more calm type. My issue is mainly with how people present their problems. When people just ♥♥♥♥ and moan it doesn't make me want to care or help them.

That all said, I have had some loot dry spells (notably right when CW came out) and I think there are some strucural problems with the game and the loot system. Mainly, that the system essentially depends on inactives to function (quite the paradox). I liked those 6 suggestions on the previous page, particularly the one about making the TH relevant.

Now, if we simply made a thread with those 6 suggestions, and cut out all the way overdramatic whining, maybe we could get a good conversation going.

Changing region does not change matchmaking.

just nexted 50x and did not find a single base with 150K gold.

Out of curiosity what are some of your TH levels, farming troops and range that your are farming in? I farm in Crystal 3 for the most part now and have all 4 builders going non-stop and see no problem with getting enough loot to keep it up (no builder for 4 days and have 4 million gold saved). I'm not crazy active but farm easily enough to keep them busy.

TH10
Farming range: Where the loot is
Normal farming troops: All archers or barch
De farming troops: Giant/wb/barch/wizard

Loot was dry for me last week, but its pretty decent right now. Farmed 8m Gold during the last two days (total playing time about 6 hours).

I'm currently in the 1700-1750 range as a TH9. I usually go for anything, as long as i can get 1k Gold per troop used.
