Logic...

[Tomaster1275]

I emailed supercell to express my frustration with zapping DE, and i got a response a few weeks later.
The thing is, the response did not even address zapping at all, they said i should "consider upgrading my village" and they started explaining the whole matchmaking system to me. I would quote what they said specifically but im not sure if that's allowed.
I don't know if i should be mad or just facepalm.

EDIT: this is not a zapping thread! If you wanna talk about zapping, there are plenty of threads for that

Facepalm lol.

Also, Im pretty sure you can tell their messeges.

To be honest, there is nothing that supercell can do about zapping. If they were to weaken the lightning spell or make it so that it can't do damage to dark elixir storages, then it couldn't be destroyed for the 50% if it was one of the last buildings left. I know that's a weak example but unfortunately the lightning spell and dark elixir storage are a part of the game and we have to deal with it. I believe they were referring to upgrading your base to move out of the are where there are plenty of zappers. I farm in master and haven't been zapped in ages because the players higher up understand that throwing spells on the de storage isn't cost or time effective.

On a second note, though, just keep in mind whoever zaps your de storage is losing out... Using 3-5 spells for 60-108k elixir and several hours of cook time not to mention the loss of cups is not exactly an effective strategy.

Maybe they could say that instead of giving me a tutorial of the game
Im sure there's a way to fix zapping, supercell is creative, they can think of something

Sorry, but zapping is just another aspect of the game you have to deal with. I'm not happy with snipers, but it's just something I have to live with. SC can't make everyone happy or the game wouldnt be worth playing. Don't like zappers, go down to mid silver or up to high crystal

You post solves nothing.

If you don't like snipers, put your TH in the middle of your base. Problem solved.

If you don't like zappers, put your DE storage.....wait. Yeah, you can't do anything about zappers.

here is the thing.
this is not broken, so nothing needs to be fixed.
you are frustrated with having your DE storages zapped, So what?
get over it. it is a viable tactic for raiding whether you like it or not.
so there is nothing for supercell to figure out.
you may not like this, i dont care.
there could be a hundred people on this forum that doesnt like getting zapped, tough.
this isnt some broken game mechanic that causes unfair gameplay.
a lightning spell causes splash damage to all buildings in a small area. that is what it does.
by changing the game mechanic of this spell works towards resources doesnt just affect the resources it changes the whole game and how it is played.

i tell this to everyone that cries about this.
you have to have a much more rational and viable explanation for WHY this needs to be changed, other than because it is "frustrating".
so suck it up buttercup

You're a fool. I'd rather get zapped and TH sniped (which always happens together) and lose ~1k DE than get DE storage raided or 3-star revenge raided and lose ~2.5k DE plus whatever gold and elixir I have at the time.

[TheConfuzed1]

There is nothing to fix. Zapping is part of the game.

[GoWiWi]

SC won't solve zapping.


Lightning is made in spell factory.
People want to earn DE fast.
So they boost their SF.
Boosting needs gems.
Gems equal money.
