[WTH]

I think it's awful. The walls were a nice update to help finish th8 and because I did all of my buildings and troops first I didn't get to take advantage of the 500k elixir skull walls.

The lvl 7 giants will also break the game. Level 6 giants are already OP, no th8 can defend against anything with lvl 6 giants. I think you need some kind of penalty to loot lost if a th 9 or th10 attacks a th8 or lower. Th8 is just a sit there and get wiped stage in the game that makes people not want to play.

The good mine updates and elixir collectors is a nice update.

The loot plenty stops TH10s and TH9s etc, from going after lower levels.
Some of you TH8's or TH7 crying may want to adjust your trophy level. You have no reason to be in Crystal or masters if you cant take the heat.
TH10s and TH9s attacking two TH levels below are usually rushed bases. When a same sixe TH, finds a fat bigger or same size rushed base its feeding time !!
This is why you max your base B4 going to next level including collectors and walls ...

Town Hall Level Difference	Percentage of Loot Available
Same or higher level	100%
1 level lower	90%
2 levels lower	50%
3 levels lower	25%
4 or more levels lower	5%

Overall I think the update is good. I really like the layout editor and I think that the level 12 mines and collectors will eventually help the economy.

I'm not thrilled about the changes to the archer towers and HP modifications to the buildings because I use barch a lot. There's a reason I use barch a lot though and realize that maybe it's too good and needed to be slowed down. I don't like it but I'll adjust.

The people complaining about not being able to use elixir for walls should just quit now. If they can't buy their level 8 walls with just gold then they won't be able to buy their level 9 and 10 walls with or without elixir.

Everything seems ok so far. However, at this rate, my walls are going to be the very last thing to get upgraded, and I just recently started on my town hall 8. The progress is slowed down far too much by taking away the ability to upgrade walls with elixir until they reach level 9.

Live replay doesn't work?

Yes, just like every other player in the game before September. Walls take a long time, and no one is saying you have to do them. And when you hit TH9 you'll have elixir to raid from TH8s in your exact position. Think bigger.

Give us troop level stars back, just make em smaller so they fit better into the button.

that is all, rest is a good job.

Seems pretty awesome, good job guys, but I have two issues
1. Release de drill for th7, I understand your reasons, but that should have done since the beginning, many of us busted our asses to farm 10k de to get our barbarian king without a drill, now younger players gets the drill and wont have to go through that farming strategy, its just easier for them, feels like a meaningless effort for those who farmed.
Also I think the 1st drill Max lv on th7 shouodnt be 3, more like lv2 imo

2. The walls upgrade with elixir, you said you moved the upgrade to lv9 beacse players with lower walls had issues with this with their troops... Well I never had such issue, I know how to manage my resources, they had the option to upgrade with elixir or gold, well thats their desicion, they where not forced to use elixir, they could also farm, there wasnt really a problem, now I will have a harder time upgrading my walls as they use gold again until higher levels, its just that gold its used ALOT, its just a lot, u use it in everything, having walls t. Get upgraded with elixir from lv6 to 7+ was just great, no excess of elixir and could get it working without affecting my troops.

I also liked more troops with stars instead of the number, looked like more respecTed.

Thats my opinion, the rest is great, awesome job guys.

Here it is. The one and only thread where we discuss all things related to the Winter Update!


Who's gonna keep their Xmas tree??

The real question is who has gotten a tree? lol

This is a great update SC. From a disgruntled former player who was hoping you would do something to bring me back I applaud you. I am not sure if elixir for lvl9+ walls only and lvl12 collectors will be enough but they are very tangible proof that you are trying to fix the issue. I will wait and see but I am newly hopeful instead of 100% disgruntled. The rest of the changes I am happy with as well.

One thing to consider that I am sure you have seen talked about on the forums is the time it will take for lvl12 collectors to make a positive impact. Depending on how you calculate it they will actually drain more loot from the economy until 30-60 days from the update. I might suggest temporarily re-instating a certain % of inactive accounts for just a week or two during that time as a way to infuse a little much needed tourist income into the economy. Inactives shouldn't be where we all get our loot but they do serve a purpose that you can exploit without any announcement to the player base.

Well done.
