What to do about a premature Town Hall ?

[AvLincoln]

I am a level72, premature TH10 at almost 2200 trophys. I still feel like I am playing the game the way it was supposed to be played by advancing to the highest townhall, fighting players around my league level, and getting new resource collectors and buildings. But it seems the most effective method is to LOWER trophys and remain at a TH til all the buildings and walls are maxed, and barb/archer/goblin every village.
It's unfortunate that players such as myself was not made aware of the loot penalties, they definitely should have made it known!

I hate to complain but it is unfair. Like Hanibbal, as a community let's come up with solutions and hope that the developers take it into further consideration. The following ideas suggested are to promote upgrading the Townhall to higher levels and encourage trophy hunting.

1. Increase and change bonuses in all leagues. Dark elixer bonus should be granted at lower League levels as well.
2. Slightly increase the amount of walls given for next Townhall upgrade (yes, I know it's getting crowded but it will be a nice perk)
3. Decrease the cost of walls at the higher Townhall levels or decrease wall costs in general
4. Unlock Level 12 elixer and gold resource collectors at higher TH levels
5. Unlock new decorations at the higher TH levels
6. Remove or rework formula for looting lower Townhall levels (add the players level in the formula, as premature townhall issue is usually around lower level players)

Much of the information discussed will be very useful.

i upgraded my th to lvl 10,and yea the games pritty much over for me now.
impossible to find anybody with over 150k resources and even if i do,there way too strong for me and i usually suicide my army trying to steal 100k....

i am hemeraging elexer suiciding my army,and same goes for the gold since i have to spend an hour per raid searching for a viable base,

thanks supercell glad i spent over £100 on the game,just to have wasted my time and be forced to quit!!!!!!

On the upside, SC appears to finally be acknowledging the problem. Steve indicated that some kind of notification will be added when upgrading TH6 and above. I'll have to edit the original post to reflect that when the update hits.

I suspect you are a relatively new raider, or perhaps have underleveled troops, because TH10 is viable for farming reasonable amounts of loot. I communicate with several prominent farmers on the forums and while they work in different trophy ranges and sometimes with different troops, they're all having some degree of success. Personally, I find ~1700 trophies to work well with a Giant/wallbreaker/archer/barb army for full base raids, and deploying only the barbs and archers when I come across collector runs. I'm personally hitting ~5 million gold and ~20-30k DE on days I actually farm. It's not TH9 farming to be sure, but it's far more viable than it was at launch.

Defending your loot is a separate problem, to which there is no easy solution if your base is premature. If you want to grit your teeth and farm, I suspect that at some point you'll have a success story to share like ttsparkyboo a few posts above. But it won't be as easy as it would have been.

i rushed from maxed out 6 to 9 even though i have read a lot about max everything else before upgrade town hall to get x-bows. kinda messed up for a while. cuz the so wanted x-bows were not so super as i imagined. but i didn't blame supercell for it. and yeah, when i was first knew about penalties i was a bit angry. not because supercell didn't warn me, it's because when i had town hall about 6-7 i always got raided by town hall 9-s. and when the table turned and i'm on 9, they released a new update said let's protect the new players, bla bla... i could quit, but i didn't. cuz i like the game.
point is the fault is yours. especially your impatience. in my opinion, supercell doesn't have to warn you. it's their choice. and it's your choice to play or not. they didn't force you to buy gems nor play their game. did they? game is 100% possible to play without spending a single dime. well mb 10$ to get the 5th worker(not really required, since the time when you finish all achievements, you'd most likely collected enough gems).

p.s.: something tickles me to upgrade to TH10 as soon as possible to get the inferno tower. but i won't fall for that now, will i?

I am a premature Town Hall 9 and I am seriously stuck in progress. A friend of mine also recently upgraded to Town Hall 9 and now he has stopped playing. The most annoying thing about this is that SC didn't warn me or any of us about this. I am also quitting if I can't come up with anything. Shame, since it's an awesome game if not for this.

I tried farming, not working since all the lower level villages have 30-40k loot wich is less than my army and spells and those wich have loot worth my army are well defended Town Hall 9s. Is there any hope for a premature Town Hall 9 at all?

just buy a but load of gems then upgrade everthing if you don't like spending money just tough it out and upgrade slowly

Is that town hall premature?

[Mirnixdirnix]

he's an clan mate, drags lvl 3 rest lvl5

[Mirnixdirnix]

Yeah i guess i could continue posting pm th9 of my clan, thin no one took the time to max out th 8.

It's a good start. As you practice, you may get up to 5-8 million a day. If you can learn to farm like that (and a million is a good start), digging yourself out of this hole is very doable.

Still not getting much loot to upgrad my defence don't know what to do.
