Stop with the Exposed Town Hall Attacks

[mushy]

It is a nonsense to suggest that the game is meant to be played a certain way but players have played it a different way then intended.

As the game allows exposed th and giving a shield for it then it is also an intended play.

Quit crying over people not playing it like you want them to play it. If it offends you so much quit playing and make your own game.

I farm and when I feel like it I leave exposed th. It is a tactic for all levels of players who want to protect loot with free shield or maintain league status or both.

If you two actually read the thread, you would know that I'm against the horrifically poor defense game play experience than the symptom of people adapting to the situation and metagaming the game's shield mechanic. I'm actually telling people to shut up about trying to directly 'fix' the so called 'farming base' issue (again, not to be confused with actual farming loot raids) with the exposed Town Hall because there is no demand at all from people like you to have this 'fixed' since it is basicly a short sighted solution that would just anger many players, than actually do any good.

If you actually have anything meaningful to say, read the thread, understand the thread, and then say it. Otherwise, please don't post.

My goal for some defense system fix that is so good, you don't have to pathetically hide behind a game shield, just to attempt to have fun playing. A defense system where making a better village/base layout does not mean you feel even more punished for the effort.

I have and always will leave my Town Hall outside and unprotected, I'd rather have the room to protect my loot than a few trophies and it's not my fault that people get 2% and leave

That's what bugs me. Common sense wise you shouldn't have your most important building exposed, but the system rules rewards otherwise. The thing on the loading screen that says... Wait.. let me Google it!

It's a lie!

To have fun in building up your base, especially near end-game, you have to do what now? Grind for resources, spend days and weeks and months building up an awesome base, and then not want to use it by doing that?! Putting your main control building (or at least the game says it is) exposed, so the game referee can call the fight a (cheap) win because your nose is broken, and can hide away out of the fighting ring? Wait wait.. hold on here.. I wanted to play the whole game, not be forced out of using my base because I dared to make a strong base. Oh wait, I make a better base, and fought people off, do I get a prize? ♥♥♥ is this? Cups? a tick mark on my win count, and a pat on the back?! What about the loot? Or a shield?! Too bad?!?1! What?! I put in more effort and skill that some farming baser, and you let me get the @#$% beat out of me, while they stick thier chin out for a broken nose and walk away?! What kind of game is this? Reward the lazy?! <gets banned for ranting to the referee> <other players say "Lol noob">

So yeah, you can kinda see how silly this whole thing is, when put into the point of view of an assumptious newbie or outsider. You know, the Builder using his hammer on everything, including huge glass vats, and for tree chopping makes more sense than the current raiding system.

An easy fix can be a defense win bonus. No major changes to game mechanics and a low risk of players uprising

That was already thought up. At best it had mixed reviews, and it only covers a small part of the defence issue. Not about to attempt to restate what was said before since I'd likely mangle the info. Also it is for another topic thread.

You could do with reading my post better on top of making your posts clearer.

But ok let me rephrase my post for your benifit.

Metagaming as you put it is a nonsense phrase here as the rules of the game are not set to be played HOW YOU THINK IT SHOULD.

If the shield is so pathetic to you then are you insinuating you always break it?

To the rest of us the shield is a tool and we use it WITHIN THE PARAMETERS SET BY SUPERCELL.

THE SHIELD IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL PLAYERS NOT YET NEARLY MAXED TH10 AND ABOVE AS THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING RAIDED BY A MUCH STRONGER OPPONENT IS ALWAYS THERE.

QUIT CRYING OVER WHO DOES HAVE SHIELDS OR HOW THEY GET IT AS WHEN YOU LOOK FOR A VILLAGE TO ATTACK YOU ONLY GET ONES THAT HAVE NO SHIELD.

Nobody but cry babies, who want automatic revenges, cares for your self inflicted dilemma.

I see you like to keep assuming things, and crying over issues that aren't really being argued about. You are selectivity picking things out and rationalizing stuff that is not really there.

I didn't say shields in of themselves are pathetic. I implied that constantly using and relying on the shield as a key tactic of a defence, forced into that method of play by a flaw in gameplay, was pathetic. I really don't think Supercell intended people to play in such a manner, since... well.. It does not even sound like a fun way to play a game. You didn't even see the humours rant just a few posts above? One with the large picture? The Shield should not be some crutch to lean on just to try to have fun. It is there for convenience, and a very important limiting factor for when you really lose significantly, so you don't lose all of your work on loot collecting. It is to help improve game enjoyment, not be the one key factor of play.

And I don't know about you, but the only problem I have with revenge attacks right now, despite the narrow window farming bases have for attack opportunity, is having so few good targets to cycle through hit because I used so many of them on my log already. Less than a dozen are left, out of the 30 some listed on my defence log. Only one that is crying are the people I eventually hit back, and hit back harder, or hit back more pointedly, than they have against me.

You need to calm down and rethink your arguments.
