Next update news!!

I think you're spot on except for this part. It seems much more likely that these numbers are percentages rather than absolute figures given how loot and loot penalty are currently calculated (198k cap notwithstanding).

What remains to be seen is if these figures factor in as multipliers (60 means 60% of available loot / 40% penalty) or as added percentages (60 means 160% of available loot / 60% bonus). I'm guessing the former since that's how the current loot penalty functions.

As I wrote before, very curious to see if trophy-based will replace TH-based calculation or if it will now be a hybrid. Betting on the latter.

My thoughts exactly

And I also think it will be the latter.
They are quite keen on the loot penalty to prevent/reduce TH bullying.

Greatest loot thread will have new contenders now

below 300/500 is unranked.. sub200 farming might be worse off now.

Most people should be at bronze/silver region..

That means majority will get a boost in their loots, assuming each raid is 100k, they will be getting 140k if they are bronze, and 150k if they are silver.. and if each raid is 200k, they will get 280k and 300k for silver..

While its certainly pleasing to see such nice loots.. I certainly hope not every tom ♥♥♥♥ and harry can get full skull walls base easily :eek:...

Then again, its easier for us to achieve full level9 walls.. or even level 10 walls for none-gemmers, maybe ?

On a side note: since SC is based in Europe and they've branded this a "league system", I'm guessing the concept was based on football league systems, aka as football pyramids, with the whole promotion/relegation deal.

And yes, I'm referring to the sport you actually play with your feet not American rugby.

I don't know about the raid figures. If the numbers In the code are indeed multipliers then the loot available for your examples would be 40k/50k and 80k/100k, respectively.

And i was trying to hide this...

And you didnt tell me

Looks like a direct pull from Starcraft.

Very interesting.

Seems like the "farming will shift around a bit, but still could be on the low side unless they re-jigger the higher tier bonuses up a bit. It should be more like:

10-20-40-80 rather than 30-45-60-75 (those are made up numbers but reflect the constant rise in bonus)

Otherwise you'll see farmers looking for sweet-spots. Still, all in all an interesting possible move.

That is exactly why I think the Th based loot penalties will stay. I wouldn't be surprised if they were even strenghtened a little.

I currently don't play the trophy game because:

1. A few thousand dollars just for a seat at the table? Forget it.
2. What's the point?

I don't see those multipliers working as penalties. They're too punitive that way although it's possible I'm underestimating SC.

I could see this potentially work for lots of folks to get more interested in the trophy game although the devil will be in the details.

Huh... okay, that made more sense..

but wouldn't that mean that we would technically have "trophy loot penalty" if our trophies are not in the "Master" range ?!

Another nerf to looting and there will really be war man.. :eek:

I don't recall if anyone mentioned that this could just be a boost to mine/collector output rate. Would not be that much of an improvement, thus I am still hoping that this will be a percentage added to your resources at the end of each battle.

Or if you are a pessimistic person, this update could even take a worse turn. Where the numbers 40,50,60 etc. are how much loot you get to keep. For example if you raid and normally there would be 100k gold and elixir (in the 40% range), instead there is only 40k available to raid,I REALLY hope this is not the case.
