Sneak peeks!!!:d

As long as they shoot flaming arrows, I don't care. LOL!

True that, I'd pay 8M elixir just to have flaming arrows with the same stats.

EXACTLY. The only important difference is the status and the looks, just like from level 5 to level 6.

i think you fail to notice that level 6 archers survive mortar level 5 and Wizard tower level 6. it's HUGE

Thank you!

People seem Intent on predicting the apocalypse. All this update does is give you a choice. No one is being forced to spend elixir on walls.

As for the prediction that elixir will vanish due to people dumpingnelixir in walls: only a minority of clashers currently do that with gold. Premmies will still be premmies and will be ripe for looting. There may be some initial scarcity when the update lands as people finally have somewhere to put that 8 million elixir, but I seriously doubt the average premmie clasher is going to start building lava and zap walls all of a sudden.

Common oversight. Nobody forces you to farm either. The problem isn't what you do, active players will likely dump elixir. The common TH8 and Th9s that used to have an abundance of elixir will no longer have anything in the storages much like Gold today. So instead, everyone will try to look for the rare inactive base, there won't be enough to go around as SC puts them into the deep black hole queue.

People don't realize it, but farming for high level walls just got more difficult with this upcoming update. Elixir is the life blood of the game, without elixir you cannot build troops or build spells which translates to bad farming. TH9 will be hit the hardest, from having abundance of elixir to having not much of anything as TH10s will come down the trophy leagues looking for TH9s with the pink stuff. You'll find the lower THs emptying their storages(on walls, and leaving a bare minimum of 500K of each) before logging off so that even if they get raided, they don't lose any resources.

That's not fair. Don't be like that, you have the same rights as us.

That's right. I also got my xbows and AQ at TH9, and my infernos at TH10.

[Pete82]

Oh. About 100k nexts,mat 300-450k resources gained? I get that, too. I believe you. I thought that you mean that you got them in about 20-30 nexts.
Resources in Gold 2'are surprisingly good for th9's lately.


And yeah, if a base winds up that way, you're right, they're inactive.

300-400k of each. But yes, I do approach 100 nexts sometimes (definitely not all the time, but often enough that I look at my gold lost to nexting). This is at 2600+ btw.

[Mezi2far]

Everybody gets really upset about the walls thing... Just wait! Sure than SC had think about anything before bringing this to the game... Even if they don't, it's not the last update. Like they did with the Hogs, they can ajust everything

New townhall 9's will have a huge problem, their lab upgrades need 6mill plus, not to say about lab spell fac etc. let's hope they'll improve economy to maintain the loot flow.

[Detron]

Farming gold is still pretty easy, Im not sure what everyone is soo worried about? You want it? Then take it!

[Jappchillin]

The thing is that people want this bad idea--elixir walls--and SC is more than happy to give it to them. It will cause elixir to be just as rare as gold or worse. I'm not trying to "troll" or even "complaining". I'm just looking at the situation, applying what I understand of economics and human behavior and making a fairly sound prediction from that.

Now, perhaps there will be some other outcome, but I think sensible people can see that if there is more to spend elixir on, people will spend it, and therefore it will be in someone's walls or Level 7 Barchers and not sitting there for sensible people to take.

So, if elixir is more rare and there are cool new must-have troops, what are the odds folks are going to gem? See, that's why SC loves the idea and are marching it out slowly and pseudo-secretly like they are doing us a big favor.

"Complainers" or "trollers" or "doomsday predictors" like me are only trying to point out the fairly common-sense possibility that elixir walls are not a good idea for the overall game economy. And while, you might think, "Ha! Now I"m gonna have all zaps and I'll be so boss!" The reality is that either elixir will be so rare you'll need gold still to get them, or it'll be so easy to farm them that everyone will have them anyway.

I just don't see why SC should so casually mess with something as vital to the game as it's economy. New Barchers, that's fine. It gives people some motivation to give up the good loot and go to TH 10. But messing with the economy puts the fun of the entire game at risk.

I'd personally rather just see a new clan promotion level. Something with more prestige than Elder and less power than Co. But that isn't going to get anybody gemming, and neither are the masses going to clamor for it.

Oh, well. Plenty of updates have come and gone and the game is still fun and will continue to be, until it's not.

Except your idea for a new clan promotion does nothing to fix loot either, so in the end even if you got what you wanted would you still be on the forums chastising SC? This is not the end of the update they've obviously studied the situation a lot more than you have.

Has SC actually thought through the economics of using elixir for wall upgrades??? It means that most bases will never have more than significant elixir in the storages. Hence there will never be enough elixir obtained from raids to pay back attacks that are more expensive than barch or bam. Hence everyone will have to barch or bam unless they are a maxed out th10. With the addition of lvl 7 barbs and archers, this strategy is further reinforced. It will become the dominate attack strategy of 90% of players until SC rebalances costs or the economy.

Forget about any other attack strat, you simply can't afford to use them. Forget about using spells in attacks, you simply can't afford to use them. When you only get 50k elixir in a raid as a th8-10, you can't be wasting any of it. Almost all of that money will be used to train more barbs and archers. The little bit left over will be used for some wall, building, or lab upgrades. It will become even more precious than DE.

Long live barch and bam. Thank you SC for an update that severely reduces the enjoyability of the game.

GOOD NEWS: DE zappers will go extinct! yeah...

Uhm yeah i'm pretty sure they've looked into what goes on in their game, or else they would have stopped updating and supporting it a long time ago. They know more about the issues and how to fix them than you i'm sure of that. In the end though you can't please everyone there will always be naysayers and complainers. Gold has not just up an dissappeared from the game and neither will elixir stop being over dramatic over something that hasn't happened yet and you don't even know the full details of.
