You're fine.

This post is just as self centered as all the TH8s who are making these posts. Seriously no one cares that you were man enough to grind skull walls with gold. The reason this issue comes up so much is that almost everyone who is actively farming at TH8 spends most of TH8 with more elix than they know what to do with. After grinding to get resources it feels like a waist to be raiding because you need gold but your elix is already maxed. The explanation is that allowing walls to upgrade with elix made it so there was no elix to be found at TH8/TH9, then why is it that TH9 can use elix to upgrade walls to legos?Originally Posted by chrispeterson
The reality is the game play isn't great at TH8, the balance of gold to elix is way off. Between walls and defense upgrades you need around 400mil gold to fully upgrade TH8, at the same time its less than 100 mil in elixir. For a level where most people still use barch, there is no way you are going to use 300mil on troops. In fact the balance has swung the other way, pretty much every active player I got to attack has 4x more elix to steal than gold. Walls may not be the right way to go but maybe add something else in that can use elix at TH8 so it balances out the need.
FWIW I've been using my extra elix to do mass dragons and Gowipe runs to practice for war. Both are good ways to improve for war and also a great way to get DE at TH8. Plus its nice to not see my elix maxed for a change. And yes my lab is going, it has been working nonstop since I got to TH8.
And don't forget experienced TH10 preemes that when they got TH10 the game was NEW! and it will take 7 months for anyone to get from 7 to 8 walls(if they don't upgrade anything and if they dont get attacked). 3,500 gold/hr*7 collectors 24,500 gold/hr. 588,000 gold/day*31= 18,228,000 gold/avg.month
250 walls*500,000 per wall =125,000,000gold to upgrade
125,000,000 gold/18,228,00 gold/month = 6.835 months or 6 months and 25.88757... days.... Yeah
maybe just make the elix for 7 to 8 only for TH9's or 10's it would allow for proper upgrading and to keep the elix cap high!

They should take xemonXx's idea and just allow TH8s to be able to upgrade their walls to lvl 9, just so that all these TH9s who are vehemently defending the move (b/c it unfairly benefits them immensely above any other TH) can see how the way it was done still screws TH10s. The revert was lazy, and the system needs to be reformed. There is no reason why every level of wall can't be upgraded with elixir if they implement a responsible method of doing it that doesn't break the economy, which absolutely exists.
lol self-centered huh? no how about realistic. I don't like elixir walls PERIOD cause it's going to break the economy either way it goes. Let me ask a question. What would you do if this update never came out? would you stop at level 7 walls? you mean to tell me you can grind walls with elixir but not gold? you upgrade all your DEFENSIVE buildings with gold aren't walls a defensive building? last time I checked the stronger the walls the harder the attack. so self centered? no. Honest? yea I've already been grinding my legos without elixir because I use elixir to farm DE. and also if you're going to sensitive and think the game just revolves around your town hall level understand that it doesn't. The same people that complain about elixir walls are the same ones that probably gemmed their king at town hall 7 because they didnt want to grind for the DE. So next time you want to be self-centered because someone basically told the truth about elixir walls with low level walls understand this. town hall 8s are one of the major components of high level farming if you guys have nothing half the time the weaker town hall 9s are bone dry too. so don't get mad cause they took something away from town hall 8s it's not like you'll be there the rest of the game anyway..unless you just quit..and they gave you a second drill honestly they still made town hall 8 easier now none of you can talk about DE farming for those golems and that level 10 king is hard. if you have any other comments about something you feel entitled to but shouldve never been in the game. please feel free to contact me. have a nice day..p.s Supercell elixir walls are stupid take them out of the game...the world will be a better place.
or we could just take elixir walls out all togetherThey should take x
noooo.
PS: i dont hav lvl7 or 8 walls so m being selfish. i can do upgrade with elixer. cheerrrsss :-D
It still breaks the economy at TH10 with the way it's currently implemented, but it doesn't have to. If SC makes players first maintain the lootable max for elixir for each TH level before allowing walls to be done with them, all players would still be able to upgrade walls with their excess elixir, but it wouldn't allow for them to drain their elixir totally out of their storages into walls which is what caused the crippling economy in the first place. From a farming standpoint, it would be as if the elixir for walls were never implemented (elixir would not be so scarce), except all players would still be able to upgrade walls with their elixir, avoiding the "overflowing elixir with no outlet" problem.
I too believe that there was nothing wrong with only allowing walls to be upgraded with gold, walls are important but in a different way than say wizard towers or cannons. Upgrading them is a luxury for the more efficient of farmers, and it never should have been allowed to be made easier at the cost of disrupting the economy. But it is a neat idea as an outlet for those with overflowing elixir storages and nothing to use it on, and it can absolutely be allowed for all levels of walls so long as it's responsibly implemented by SC.

Hey guys. So everyone is bummed about not being able to use elixir for walls. At town hall 8 there is not much you can use elixir for. I believe that Supercell thought that people were upgrading walls too fast and that is why they removed it. If I were a developer or game designer I would make using elxir more expensive. Example: level 7 walls to level 8 walls are 200,000 gold. Here is where the elixir comes in. Level 7 walls to level 8 walls are 300,000 or even double the amount of gold so 400,000. I think that would make a major improvement in the game. Let me know what you think.
