Sneak peeks!!!:d

Incorrect. People aren't going to sit on stacks of gold because they have something to do with elixir now. both will disappear into walls.

I hope this won't happen, but it probably will...

been trolling around and seeing a lot of people saying walls are going to cost elixir soon. but cant find any hard evidence of this,is there any? or is it just speculation from Steve's post saying there will be a change to the walls in the next update? Because if that is what people are going off of figuring the walls will soon be costing elixir....youre WRONG. what Steve was saying there is clearly indicating an option for multiple walls upgrading at once. btw....if walls start costing elixir, id be cool with that, im sitting on a maxed TH9 with full elixir and nothing to use it on....walls....i could go for that....but it would be a horrible idea....

the "sneak peeks" sticky thread that marika started... first post explains everything.

That or the CoC facebook page is also authoritative.

On the wall issue, I'm seeing two conflicting criticisms.

One is that walls are now going to be super easy to upgrade, making previous efforts to upgrade walls worthless. The other is that after a few days, there won't be much elixir left, since everyone is fighting for it all of a sudden. I just want to point out that both of these can't happen. Either wall upgrading will go crazy, elixir will drop drastically, or there will be a situation where we are somewhere between these two possibilities. Personally I think the latter is the most realistic.

Elixir will no doubt be harder to come by, but this isn't something that will be the end of the clash economy as we know it. People seem to forget that gold and elixir are produced at EXACTLY the same rate by equal level collectors and by the league/CW bonuses. With armies, donations, CW raids, troops, lab, spells, and camps, there is still a huge surplus of elixir (we all know someone with their elixir storages sitting outside). The walls is the only facotr that is changing, and it seems pretty clear to me that elixir will still be more widely available than gold (although not by nearly as much).

Even with gold and all its issues, let's not pretend that people are totally stuck, least for the most part. In all but the worst possible scenarios elixir will still provide for basic needs and a few wall upgrades too. Of course this balance largely depends on player behavior, and how tempted they are to dump into walls rather than save up for upgrades.

There will be people who don't know how to manage this and will mess up, but for the most part it seems like everyone is screaming the sky is falling when it gets foggy outside. It will be a big change yes, but at the end of the day I believe wall upgrades will rise proportionally to elixir's fall in availability, and we will find a somewhat reasonable balance here. The days of 8 million elixir are gone, but at least we get some walls out of it.

I don't know why supercell made walls cost gold and elixir. They're basically losing money (lots of people have over flowing elixir)

bingo. the second order effect is that only cheap armies will prosper. As a miniloon farmer in masters it'll be interesting to see if it's even possible to sustain my army anymore.

Some people think clash of clans is all about barb arch😆

What a sad way to play this game.

This is actually happening?? Holy ♥♥♥♥ this is amazing.. I thought of this idea awhile ago.

[andrgin]

It was confirmed in the sneak peeks. Look at the sticky thread on top.

I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping that the update changes the gold to elixir ratio, and hopefully increase the amount of gold we see, and decrease the amount of elixir we see while raiding. In a raid I made not too long ago, I got 600k elixir, but only 80k gold. That ratio is not satisfactory. I usually sit on a lot of Elixir, with nothing to spend it on. At TH9 my storages were constantly full, making most raids where I got Elixir pointless anyway (wastes the Elixir for me, and other potential raiders). As a TH10 I'm generally on the 5mil mark when it comes to Elixir. Still more than enough for raiding.

Everyone here needs to chill out a bit. Don't jump to conclusions too early. I remember people complain about barch going to be ineffective because troops target same walls, I don't see complaint threads on that. I remember when spells started to cost elixir some were scared of low elixir or hard to train spells, now everyone loves it. Just wait for the update to release then you can make conclusions.

Elixir can be used on walls, economy gonna be worse, that's all we know so far, so we can make conclusions with what we know...

On a side not how does elixir, this purple liquid, form into a wall? While gold obviously can be melted cause its a metal. lol
