Regretting going TH10... may push me out the door

[Michaelyoda]

I have played 6 months, maxed th9 def's, worked walls last few weeks to get L8/9 walls. Figured time to go th10. I knew there was a loot penalty but not to degree it is... I typically raided about 4 mill gold a day from boosting barracks to buy upgrades... Now that I am th10, wow, whole diff world. You are forced to only attk th9/10 and need top troops and multiple spells to get anything. 50% penalty for attking a th8 is ridiculous. I may just quit. It will be near impossible to raise 6.5 mill gold for any further upgrades unless farming in bronze from collectors is ppl's suggestion for 1 upgrade a week. Supercell has made the game where th10s must pay for resources to play on that level. Every person i know w a th10 w L12 def's paid for them w gems, not raids. I'm 36 and in marketing, so no kid but I'm sure countless ppl will say... You can't have th10s going around and bulldozing low th's, but they are only saying that because they are a low th and don't want to get attked. That would apply for th7 but th8's have solid def to repel attks if base setup well. I think a 25% reduction is more appropriate, but 50% is not right. Thanks for making a fun hobby become completely disheartening. Congrats... That's my rant, thx for reading. I will enjoy laughing at the comments in response. Sure they will be all thoroughly thought out.

Pleased to meet you.
Now you know someone who didn't gem his maxed defenses.

A th8 could not, regardless of base, hold up ever to a th10 attack. I three star th8 bases often with barch...

I highly disagree with that statement. I think it depends on base design. I've been attacked by a few th10's with the beautiful level 7 barch and didn't get 3 starred. As a matter of fact, I have yet to be 3 starred as a th8.

Are you trolling or serious?

1.5 year is depressingly long.

When considering the fastest possible time to max TH10 from scratch assuming you have 5 builders constantly busy is a bit under 593 days according to the clash of clans wikia under cumulative costs section, bearing in mind that means you have enough resources to upgrade each time you have a free builder/lab, I would say 1.5 years isn't too much of a stretch.

I really don't get that this guy talkin about I am th10 and after about 3months I have 2air defenses left and one more lvl on mortar to maxout defenses i still have to do lvl9 walls but all defenses would be maxout soon. Farmin on crystal 2

If you max a th9 in 6 month you must have spend quite a few gems already. Just keep spending like you did and you will be maxed th 10 soon

There are lots of max or semi-max th10 around without gem buying and playing 24hours a day. You just need to know what you are doing.

i feel his pain. i too thought about quitting when only 2 weeks into th10. it wasnt like normal th upgrades. i didnt get smashed around and i still dont. i just couldnt get enough loot to fill my stores quick enough. so i changed my raiding style.

i was probably one of the minority that had not barched at all since th3. i kinda stick to what i know and that was giant healer. but that didnt work. now ive been barching for around 3-4 months and just started to up my last AT to lvl13. only got 2 tesla to lvl3 and 4 AD to max out. its a grind and i do around 300-400 raids per season. i only go for the 50% and im in c3-2.

it is hard. its not meant to be easy getting to the top of anything otherwise everyone would already be th10 maxxed and that would really be boring.

change your style. spend a week or so finding out how to maximise profit and you will be fine.

also just to introduce myself. i am one of those people you have not met yet that has not spent gems. come to my clan and most of our guys that are th10 have spent very few to no gems. you will meet loads then!

I am TH 9 and the loot penalty needs to be the game. To say you can not hit TH 8 is not 100% right either. I still hit the unlucky TH 7 or got too much loot in their storages and collectors. I still see TH 7 close to 400k loot total I can raid. So you could, if lucky see TH 8 with more goodies.I totally full TH 8 will give a TH 10 750K total. Only needs to hold 2.2 of each in storage and have full collectors. I really think the loot penalties need to stay.

Just get to right trophy range and hit the TH 9 and weaker TH 10. And the odd Th 8 who in the wrong trophy range but extremely minted.

[Godzilla86]

From what I feel and hear you just have to give up on waiting for collector raids.

Either do all out attacks on TH9's or weak TH10's using loonian or gibarch maybe.
Or go farm in Masters using barch and taking any crappy loot + league bonus.

Seems to be the only way to survive.
