New idea for zapping defense (this is different, trust me)

[dahimi]

They should add a meteor spell that doesn't distribute the damage. That would really ramp up the QQ.

[HiFliya]

Quell both sides of the argument. 5max lightning spells cast on the same target= Divine Light Spell, only 75% of the damage of the five lit spells but it's focused lol. That way we can "zap" and we take 2.5 hours to take DE lol.

I do not know why it isn't in the ruled out ideas section. I'll PM a mod and see if I can get it added. If I succeed will you stop posting about this?

Certainly. This is after all up to the people who designed the game in the first place. If they say it's ruled out, then it's ruled out, but it's not. But I don't listen to flamers on the forums that can only trash talk respectable ideas and not have intelligent conversations about them. Notice how almost every post has been about zapping in general, NOT about the idea I posted about.

The reason I like this idea is because it will offer a trade off. Protect your DE in exchange for no free shield. You gain something but loose something else. How is that not fair?

But they have. The link is in my sig and repeated several times in this thread and others. They may not have added it to the list but they have publicly stated that they won't change it. Thus, ruled out.

Do you bother even reading responses in your own thread? You've been given several answers how it's decidedly unfair.

A fair trade off currently exists, you just fail to see it. You're a TH9 so here's the current trade offs:

Farm in lower leagues gives you greater protection of your total resources and easier opponents. The trade off is the loot penalty (lower single raid gains) and vulnerability to low level player zaps.

Farm in higher leagues gives you higher single raid attacks, but tougher opponents and a greater risk of all your resources stolen. You can still be zapped, but less frequently and there is more DE available to gain back zapping losses.

Your suggestion changes little in higher leagues because zapping is already infrequent. But what it does do is remove any trade off in lower leagues. You still have greater protection AND now you have trophy and DE protection from the lower level players. You are now mostly untouchable. A shield has little value to you anyway under this format.

Since you were kind enough to rehash the last 4 pages for him again, you forgot to add that SuperSteve has already stated that it isn't going to change. So it has been spoken and so it shall be.

As 'revolutionary' as you may believe this 'new' idea to be, it is neither revolutionary, nor is it new. It also is not needed.

There is already a trade off for those who choose to zap--elixir, time, and possibly trophies.

Not from you, nope.

You see, what you fail to see is that I'm trying to find some way of fairly dealing with the situation. Am I saying "all lightning must be nerfed 100% for all times always!!"? Nope, even though from your responses I'd swear that's exactly what I've said. Instead, I'm attempting to come up with changes that are fair to both sides. Is it currently fair that any TH (not just TH7's, I get hit by TH9's and 10's all the time) can steal in the thousands of my DE and there is nothing I can do about it? No, it's not. (This has already been admitted).

Am I making the same exact threads over and over again? Nope. I'm listening to the responses (as rude as most of them are) and adjusting my ideas. Currently I'm trying to think up some trade off that you can do to protect your DE from zapping, but make yourself vulnerable in some other way. You, however, are simply being stubborn and refuse to budge from the "zapping must remain as is!!" Stance.

Thus, you are unreasonable, and it's for that reason I really DON'T read your posts. Though trust me I appreciate you helping to keep my anti-zapping threads freshly bumped at all times!! Lol.

Hey if you want to continue to act like a jerk, I won't waste my time trying to stop you.

I've done nothing but give you legitimate responses as have others. You ignore them and spout the same nonsense. It seems you only to listen to what you want to hear.

So I suppose I am the idiot for wasting my time trying to have a debate on ignorant and deaf ears. Enjoy wasting your time whining about something that will never change.

It could even have a limit. TH7's rod can only absorb 1 hit, TH8 2 hits, TH9 3, and TH10 4.

Although its not one hundred percent. Its pretty much close to that. Keeping the Anti-Zapping threads up top, also means that the Pro-Zappers and the SuperCell stance on it at the top too.

You haven't addressed the Issue of the War base though. Storages aren't protected from Th8 and lower, so the AD will substitute the DE instead. imagine mass drag (one of the only reliable war strats for Th7 and early th8) being crippled by having the AD protected by the Lit Rod. Of course you could have rage/heals instead but none are really that effective as taking out one of the biggest threats to your raid before even starting.
