The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[jediwannabe]

Firstly that the server you are on DRAMATICALLY affects your loot. Sometimes I am raiding in EXACTLY the same range as a clan mate and having completely different sessions. Also I see the same clan names again and again.......this would not be possible if it were random.........the bases to which we are each exposed are VERY limited in my opinion

Well i was always wondering that names have been familiar and bases as well. Somebody has an valid explanation for that ? are we stuck in a certain bunch of people and bases? are we grouped up forever in this game?

It should be a no-brainer.
During regular hours, let's say everyone's online according to their own playing regularities. Then when it's maintenance, no one is on. immediately after maintenance though, not everyone could immediately go back on. Either people forget to, or just unable to.

This means:
1. Not everyone with good loot is online to protect their base, hence they appear in your nexting.
2. Not everyone is online to raid the inactives, hence those inactives appear in your nexting instead.

Thanks, but I think it is not an explanation. Maybe a small one, but in my opinion something else must be going on.

1. You assume that everybody stays online to protect their base and their loot. But then the loot would be in the storages not in the collectors. After maintenance there are a lot of collector bases. Those collectors cannot be full in half an hour/hour off maintenance.
2. You assume that so many people are raiding inactives so that during non-maintenance playing hours there are no more inactives left. After maintenance all those inactives popp up for the - at that moment- active players.

I don't know what is going on, but I cannot imagine your points are explaining the loot after maintenance.

You have destroyed this game. Who wants to barch all day to turn a profit. When elixir was plentiful you could cook up a powerful army every now and then and have some fun. Who needs high level troops and no elixir to use them. I am a high th9 and there is no loot anywhere period.

I do agree. I'm probably stupid, but no elixir after the last update. Nexting hours. Quit a week ago.

I fell asleep whilst nexting last night it took so long.

That's a feature they introduced in the last update that I use a lot.
The front camera detects you need to doze off and the queue is manipulated to present only boring no-loot villages. The fluffy white clouds do the rest.

Works great!

It's in my walls. I have stopped the pointless raiding and put everything from the collectors in walls except for the war armycosts and donations.

This game is about to be a ghost town, with fancy walls.

There are likely many contributors. I think the main one is that so many raids are continuously happening the breaks cause those raids pile up making them more numerous.

Imagine like 10,000 Inactives come off shield every minute. Now a maintanence break comes, when it is over you have 10,000 Inactives times x number of minutes the break lasted.

mmmmm, no.

I've been farming in this range for a good few weeks and the number of full collector bases is virtually none, no matter which server I am on. So he is telling porkies.

You don't change your queue when you change languages, you are on the same server. If you log off for a minute and log back on and it resets you MAY get a different queue.

When I was looning to champ I saw the same 25-40 bases night after night after night..... Because I was on the same server. The only thing that changed was when a new base joined the queue.

Hmmmmm...

After a long time of sticking to my guns saying loot is fine ( which it was, for me anyway ), over the last couple of weeks, it has deteriorated drastically.

Not gold, and not dark elixir.

But elixir...

Where is it? I do not know.. But it isn't in peoples storages or collectors..

Honestly, it was fine for me for a while, but recently I can see a terrible change. I have been stuck on 4m elix for around 2 weeks, doesn't matter what I use ( apart from if I stuck to the guide in my sig, which over a long period of time gets very monotonous ), I cannot seem to profit...

So there you have it. An admittance of failure to farm what I need. Finally on the bad loot bandwagon..

Yep... The LIX is a ♥♥♥♥♥....I am barching only.... And making a profit because I ATTACK anything over 70k of each. I have found some big collector raids this last three days but they are drying up as the bases get 'reeled' back in until next weekend.

Yep......Lix for walls will do that!

I'm low th9 and there is loot everywhere. Period.

As has been said....it is soooo different for each player but overall there is a bad problem. Enjoy it and hope it lasts or you may be singing the same song as Harrisman soon.

LOLOLOL......this really made me smile 😀

I have the same experience, said loot was fine a couple of weeks but lately not even barch would make me enough elixir...

I upgraded my barch to lvl 7 and my army costs me 80k elixir, not even the bonus in M3 will cover the costs. Honestly looking at my attack log every single raid is around 20k elixir meaning little to no profit whenthe occasional use of spells is included.

So so many points in this post that I agree with.

Firstly that the server you are on DRAMATICALLY affects your loot. Sometimes I am raiding in EXACTLY the same range as a clan mate and having completely different sessions. Also I see the same clan names again and again.......this would not be possible if it were random.........the bases to which we are each exposed are VERY limited in my opinion

The point about loot improving over the happy hour has been explained. What I find more disturbing is that loot suddenly improved for the weekend ( after a terrible week) then today has diminished again. Since less people will be playing during the week shouldn't there be MORE rich bases available????


Supercell claim they don't hide bases....this is simply untrue. They 'inject' loot bases into the system to keep the casual weekend players happy..... I don't blame them, it is a business.......but don't lie to us.

supercell keep back and let free inactives AND well stacked bases like farmed fish.

I am glad you recognized what I wrote, also about the VERY limited bases we see and last weekend ;-) ! I do not think we know what SC does. SC says they do not hide bases, I want to believe them. But "not hiding" does not mean we can see them. Hiding is something you do on purpose. Are they doing things on purpose and what are those? I guess we never get the answer. Would ne nice!

Arguing with each other if the loot is good or bad does not make sense. What causes the problem is what we can not see and what we do not know. The only one who can give us some information is SC. What are the problems and why does it influence the loot situation so obvious. Everything else is just speculating.

It's in my walls.

You have got that right! 😢
