The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[carlito]

Tbh I think they should have done more than that, way more...
I don't think these measures will have a tangible effect on loot.

Correct...An extra 15k or so per win does not get anywhere close to solving my loot issue. So now i will accept a 90k raid instead of a 100k raid. ok, cool...but hang on, im skipping lots of times before i can even find a 100k raid and even then its sitting in a TH10 base with angry infernoes.

Lets just move away from stealing loot from each other...its FUNDAMENTALLY BROKEN unless we get much better access to abandoned bases.

How about this....

How about we are rewarded for beating bases in the same way that we are rewarded in war. Not to the same scale of course but I propose:

Eradicate the notion that we steal loot from each others bases
Doing 50% damage (ie no simply sniping a TH) should get us a loot bonus.
This bonus is based TH strength, just like war. So, maxed TH10 offers 400k if you can 50% it, maxed TH9 is 300k etc...
Apply a loot penalty as appropriate...

This means that we attack all of the time, no skipping, no loot problem, no complaining - might also be the end of players farming in leagues way below their capability...oh but also there would be less gemming...hmmm...

How did war loot get changed? Haven't participated in a war for a very very long time.

I'm having great loot all the time.

20% higher league bonuses and more war loot.

Some leagues have even higher increases than 20%. I just installed the update and checked my league (Master II) and it is a 25% increase, and Master I is almost a 30% increase!

Personally, I am very pleased with the changes

How did war loot get changed? Haven't participated in a war for a very very long time.

It's been increased - for both the winning AND losing clan. Not sure on the %'s, but looking at our current war from last night to today it looks substantial. My war loot capacity on the CC was also increased to 1.5 mm/1.5 mm.

Yes, you bot got loot our all time for figh dolla a month.

The latest updates are all Defensive folks...
I'll reserve judgment and give SC sometime to let things settle down (days not weeks)..
But what's on my mind is; wont raising the loot bonus only encourage sniping ??
- Hence allow Revenge attacks when users are on line. Unless they enter a cancellation key to stop attack(stops fluffy bunnies and etc.).
- No trophies or bonus for a TH kill without 41% damage..

The golden hour was awesome !! Boosted my barracks had a great time and made mad loot!!

TH8 at gold 3 here

Very angry here because boosted my rax, just to spend over 1 million gold spamming next over 2 hours. My army camp was completely filled and rax were not producing most of the time, because it takes over 20 minutes of nexting to even find a base that has over 100k each.

Total net profit over 2 hours was merely 500k gold (1mil went into thin air due to nexting) and 1.5m elixir. This is completely unacceptable

Also, amount of elixir found is far too high compared to gold. Quantity gold/elixir stolen is actually the same. But i am spamming 100~200 nexts to find a raidable base (50~100k) gold nexting just to find 100k gold. On the other hand, i farm with archers and goblins, meaning most of my raids cost few thousand


It appears this update did next to nothing in regards to the number of raidable bases available. Its not like 60k bonus increase in champions league (far less in lower league) is of any significance. In todays situation, it would give only enough for TH10 to spam next 60 additional times? Doesnt matter how much bonus is increased if there are no raidable bases around, the 60k increase is going to disappear into thin air due to nexting costs

But what's on my mind is; wont raising the loot bonus only encourage sniping ??

The biggest increase in bonuses are in leagues where it is very rare to find a TH to snipe. Personally, I always took a free snipe on the rare occasions that I came across them before the bonus increase, so it changes nothing for me with regards to sniping. The increase helps me do what I was already doing before, but helps cover the cost of my armies better and adds some profit.

What league are you in, and what is the increase in your bonus?

I've done some post update farming.

Golden hour was nice apart from the 300k gold that I drained from one raid (storage i might add) only to find that the connection dropped and despite winning the battle, I took a loss, no bonus, very little loot and wasted over 100 troops...

Last raid was a net gold loss. Ended up taking 100k with my full army just because i culd not bear to keep nexting and I was dying to go do something else...

So that's it, i've given up for a while - maybe the rest of the day. Nice that they buffed the loot bonus to 50k from 34k or whatever the old C2 was...but it does not offset the 150 skips I just endured...

Step in the right direction? Sure ok I will grant them that...but they knew / know more is needed!

Dont want to create an imbalance?...I get that too...but how about give us a month of abundant loot (just release the inactives...) and work on the "balanced solution" in the background in time for the next update - as opposed to keeping us on these poor rations where a lot of players are disgruntled. This is the first update that SC have released that I cant be bothered playing within 2hrs of it dropping...Please SC, do something tangible about loot / ability to find a raid within 5 minutes. I want to play, but you are making it so i cant!

I haven't barched yet since the update, been pretty busy. But I will offer that at least they increased loot. Thats a huge step forward. Should league and war bonuses double? I don't know, maybe, but at least they increased them. Which shows at least some attention being paid to the players of their game, and maybe hints at some willingness to make the game sustainable.

Next next next next next is so horribly boring. Like literally the opposite of fun. I don't know why they can't change that like have a 10x the cost special next button that allows you to only see people that meet your criteria, like 200k gold or whatever.
