Change outside town hall to give no stars

[LachNessMeownster]

There are two ways to max a base.
1) Gem it: An expensive but effective technique.
2) Farm it: A very time consuming but much cheaper alternative.

There are two ways to farm
1) Most commonly keep townhall outside to allow for better resource protection and bank on cheap shielding, it is one of the oldest and most effective methods.
2) Farm with your townhall inside and watch attacks steal your loot as they make an effort to reach your townhall.

People pushing cups cups like people with townhall outside becuase its free cups.
People farming like their townhalls outside because its an effective method.
So what is the problem OP? Why are you different? Why do YOU not like townhalls being used for cheap shields?

Answer: Premature base, can't be bothered farming, or just wanted to make a thread without thinking.

thats an awful idea OP.

Why you hating on the snipers so much? As some ppl have already explained th sniping is a mutual win win for both sides.

by your reckoning, instead of getting a shield the person with th out would lose resource instead...no shield. so overnight they'd get attacked a bunch of times and wake up to a massive resource loss ... I somehow fail to see how this is better than having to hit the next button 100x.

I doubt that people would have massive amounts of defended attacks an a lot of resource loss because it would be harder to climb trophies so people would try very hard to 50% (or whatever the new TH start will be). People can design bases that is very easy to barch 50% to get a shield anyways

Thanks for link to this lovely 68-page thread. Am I surprised it exists? No. People always complain about there being no loot after gem boost event. It's not so much that there's no loot. It's just they thought the gold rush created by the gem boost event would last forever and that's naive. I was talking about what I've experienced in the game, not the forums. Yes there are peaks, just as there are troughs. When there are peaks, people spend, using up the resources, thus creating troughs. That's the nature of economics. But it always comes back.

How nice, you avoided talking about the fact that getting resources is easier again. Also I never said that you or I are having loot problems. I simply said that people are posting about it

Wouldn't a premature base hate this idea? They can't defend their base so they need the cheap shield

Now before you say NONONO, please listen.
By outside town hall, I mean a town hall placed outside walls, so that anyone attacking will attack the townhall to get trophies. By doing this the defender only loses trophies a lot of the time, and keeps their resources.
I suggest that you change it so that THs no longer give 1 star, but the TH should give ~20% of the total of the defenders resource pool (DE included).
This will make the TH still valuable enough to protect, yet stop people from TH farming.
Why do you want them to stop farming THs do you ask?
Because of shields, taking out someones outside TH gives the defender a 12h shield. Why do we care? Because it reduces the overall pool of targets to attack. The more targets to attack, the more major (All in) attacks placed, the more overall down time between attacks, the more quality targets for all.

Nooooooooo bad idea. Farming is 50% of the game maybe more. But if you attack someone to get loot, your shield where break, so its definently balanced. You can raid them instead of sniping them, which some hardcore pushers do. Its balanced, no need to change it.

One word: No. It's that simple.

Sorry for avoiding it. After gem boosts loot becomes hard to find (for maybe a week) but it always gets easier. Before and after updates, loot becomes hard to find (for a few days on either side) but it always comes back again. When you upgrade to a higher th, until you find an appropriate range, the loot becomes harder to get.

However, there are deserted bases or "farmable" bases to varying numbers and with varying defences anywhere from 1100 to 2500trophies (that's only based on my experience. I know of people who farm at 3000+). Loot is always there.
People complain that it's not, but I think those people don't change their trophy range and look for it. Instead they complain (hence the long post you introduced me to).

I'm saying I have never experience a longer than 1 week loot problem in this game. I don't need it to be easier to get. I'd rather keep it as easier to protect. Changing these two things doesn't make sense (and from what I'm reading more than a lot of people agree with me), and if Th snipers want to benefit from it, so what? They're not hurting anyone.

[Serenejazz]

No. How do you think non gemmers are able to have lego or even lava walls?

You do realise this is unrealistically impratical to implement right?
First of all, does this make it so you only get 1 and 3 stars from an attack if the TH is on the outside? This means trophy pushers can now abuse this to make it impossible to 2 star (This is even worse in clan wars).

Secondly, how does the game distinguish a walled th on the corner from a undefended th in a corner? How does it make it clear to the player that destroying the Th will not give a star?

And if it's supposed to just not give a shield, does that mean farmers now have to lose double the trophys just to get a shield?

Also what's to stop somebody from just leaving out the least important 50% of buildings outside and then make a super compact core with the th inside it?

[ConnorJones]

20% are you kidding me you dumb idiotic moron, if someone had max storages that's 1.6M of each...

[justyulia]

NONONO, NO! NEVER! DON'T! I'm farming and that was the part of the game (duh).
