Why are people afraid to upgrade to th 10?

[Misthaufen]

My two cents:
Back in September, both my th9 accounts were maxed defenses. One was my casual account (played on my wifi only iPad), with only 75 skulls and 12/13 heroes. On the other I was farming DE and gold in masters with the goal of max heroes and lava walls.

Since this was before pink for walls, I considered my options and decided to take my casual account up to th10 since I was full pink constantly and was not going to be active enough to farm heroes and walls playing casually.

So I hit th10 and found out that the horror of th10 was greatly exaggerated. After two weeks, I took my more active account up since I couldn't justify idle builders any longer, and there really isn't a loot penalty in masters anyway.

Now I am a nice mid level th10 on both accounts. All pink buildings are done, so my pink goes only to lab or walls. I am just working on archers and cannons these days, with a few air to max still and max xbows (which are going to be last).

On my casual account, I took a break from defenses for a week during the the holiday boost to finally do my skulls, and am cruising on legos with pink on both accounts (I went up with 150 legos on my more active account).

Heroes are 20/19 & 17/18. I get max pekkas in a few days and I love my max wiz and golems.

I get attacked a lot, but almost never get a shield with my current base, unless I get one starred by max GoWiPe with high level heroes, so I an averaging 85 defenses per season. Last week I defended over night from c3 to m3

I have no stress about people raiding my base when I log off.

I love the bigger camps, cc, extra spell, etc.

Look, if you spend your time as a th9 raiding th8 collectors, you will need to change your raiding style. If you have been gibarching since th8 and love to crack open bases, nothing much will change.. If you loon in masters, nothing will change, just get a bit easier.

I love th10....it is my favorite so far. I could have stayed at Th9 the last 4 months and work only on heroes and walls, but that was not for me.

No one needs to fear th10.

This is the reason some th9s spend ALL of there time maxing defenses in gold league where there's lack of de a little bit but they wait till everything is maxed to bump up to crystal when actually it be better to start doing heros while have of you defenses are maxed so you have about lvl20-25 heroes when your fully maxed

I was one of the guys that was full lava bound when I started, but I've honestly just become bored with grinding for walls. I'm a near max th9 with bk at 22 and an aq going to 23 with approx 140 lavas. I pressed the button for th10 the other day. I'm not sure if this is the correct decision or not, but I wanted to try. I'll be able to get approx 150 lavas done before th10 and hope to occasionally work on them as I go. I get about 250-300 attacks in a season. I'm hoping that I didn't make a mistake, but I've been at th9 for six months, and I am looking forward to a change. We'll see. I honest.y won't be able to advise until I've got a couple of th 10 months under my belt.

There are people who adapt well and move up to Champions and farm the league bonus or down in sub 200 to hit storages, but that isn't accomplished by everyone, and it still doesn't yield nearly what you can get as a TH9. To say that there isn't a significant dropoff in gold/elixir farming per hour as a TH10 compared to TH9 would be flat out lying.

Tbh i havent been th 9 for a while, when i used to be th 9 loot used to be bad for th 9. Compared to that loot in th 10 is better and it has actually gotten pretty stable nowadays. I find good raids fairly easily and idk how easy it is for you but i do have 400-600k raids (gold and elixir) in more than half of my attacks on my war log at any time. So what you're saying about the significant drop off isnt right at all. Not anymore anyway...it was bad right after the elixir for war update a couple months ago but it's improved dramatically now.

TH10 is the least fun of all THs.... thats why.

Unless you want to gem and hunt cups, you will find yourself reminiscing on TH9 / TH8 loot and wondering why you are still pressing next and not watching the grass grow in your garden...just like I am wondering right now.

Bingo. If you are a farmer - th10 sucks. There's no other way to describe it. You must change your mentality from a farmer to a raider once you hit th10 and kiss any type of good hourly rate of gold accumulation good bye.

Is that why so many forumers and even more non forum members farmed max th 10 defenses including me...and many have farmed zaps as well. You could say we're lying and those who say loot is bad is telling the truth but then again our farmed bases are proof that we're not and clearly you're doing something wrong if that's the case with you right now.

ok, I'm also a defensive (structures, I still have walls, heroes, and a few traps) maxed th10 with 1.4 billion gold grab. Feel free to check me out in game if you don't believe me:

Did I ever say that it wasn't possible? No I didn't. I said it sucks. And if you look at the forum and the polls, the vast amount of forumers agree with me, and not you.

From what I see, the people who have success are the ones that are able to just sit on their device constantly and BARCH for league bonuses. The thing that got me hooked on this game was the big score. And up until th8 I could go in with a BAM army and demolish most bases....including storages. But at th10 you can't just demolish bases anymore with a quick army. You have to either wait for all of your spells, hit next forever, or BARCH for bonuses.

It's just not nearly as fun at th10 as it was at lower ths.

Read the thread at first lol. And loot penalty doesnt drastically change your chances of getting loot. It's the same difference as you you had in loot from th 8 to 9. Loot penalty just means you cant get good loot from th 7 and below but there are way more th 8-9 these days than you might think.

Having both a 10 and a 9 I can say you are just flat out wrong.....but to each his own, I'm currently at 124 lavas done in just over a month on my 9, nowhere near that on my 10 resource wise. I see the difference everyday and it is very real.

Cause loot is said to be bad up there

I have maxed TH10 defences and farmed 500m+ worth of zaps...also got my King to 39 and Queen to 35...I am still saying loot at TH10 sucks.

I'm not sure why you cant be nearly maxed (or indeed maxed) and still say loot blows...it does...thats a fact as far as im concerned. Its been months and loot, for me, has been consistently rubbish at TH10. Skipped 1,000s of TH10 bases with less than 50k of each and sub 500 DE. That should not be what players experience at TH10, the most expensive of all THs...we need more loot than TH7 players but sadly, if you want to raid 1m+ an hour, you better not upgrade to TH10
