Make an additional Dark Elixir Storage to get rid of other people zapping !

[Xitra]

Maybe, maybe if TH 11 comes along.

I was thinking the same thing. At TH11, they could add a couple levels to the drills, and add a second storage, and make higher level DE troops and/or new DE troops that are super expensive to upgrade. Oh, and level 50 heroes.

Except that, honestly, do TH10's worry much about getting zapped today? They should be high enough in trophies, and have so much passive income, that I really don't see the need. Let alone for TH11, assuming the drills got 1-2 more levels pushing 150 DE per hour or something like that.

Zapping is good for the game and should continue unchanged. It is already very effective and well balanced as it currently exists.

Yup. Takes time to 'build up a charge' to zap someone. The Elixir cost is sizable too. And for anyone that pays attention to who attacks them, they'd likely see a sharp increase in devastating revenge attacks from just wandering out and just DE zapping strangers first, as if you were untouchable like Zeus or something.

Though, if I ever wanted to dare people to attack me, could do a bunch of TH snipes and DE Zaps for a couple days, and see how that goes for the next... year or so, as people line up to try to kick my butt. (Yes, I know, the Defense Log has a max of about 30 entries, and at most stays for 12-14 days.)

Try it -- you'd probably be surprised at how few revenge attacks ever materialise ---- As an inveterate zapper, I am rarely revenged, as I have my TH out like everyone else.


An awfull lot of people burble on about smacking zappers for all their loot, leaving their heros, cc down, and leaving at 39%, blah, blah, blah......


It must happen somewhere, as I read it all the time -- perhaps I'm just lucky



{edit - see also the many many threads compalining that revenge is useless}

[GolemSmasher]

You dont't need to increase the seize of DE just devide it into 2 storages, so that attackers, can't get everything from zapping.

oh no, NOT ANOTHER DARK STORAGE TO PROTECT

[Ectar]

so you want to create something that has no purpose, weakens an existing building, and costs more resources to fill up?

When you climb a tower you must be prepared to be shot at more.

When you go to higher levels, the people at the bottom will say,"Hey, here's a guy with some pretty good loot!"

Are you sure? Game does a bad job at saying you have been revenge attacked. Only clue is the lack of a revenge button and a generic message saying it is unavailable.

Lol I know, right? Smack them for all their loot and be only 39% As if. But I am right on the TH sniping. Did one short spree and was attacked for days. Then again, I was daring barcher armies to attack while TH7, and generating defence wins, so they had more than enough time to get a hit in while I regularly had no shield. And here I helped out all those farmers with a shield. (So now you know the dark truth of my hatred of farmers players... j/k)

Yeah, revenge gets a bit useless. Used up almost all of my targets after having a fun revenge spree, and now only have half a dozen targets left, waiting for them to hopefully get ripe before falling of the list after two weeks.

On a side note for this off topic post; I did suggest a way to indirectly help make revenge attacks more useful (here http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...r-Shield-tweak) by modifying shield mechanics some, allowing people to fire off a shield for nighttime, so attacks only happen when you are active. The attacker has to be active obviously, but also that means they have to log off and wait for a shield while you are active, meaning your chances of getting a revenge attack in increases, and with no real change to the revenge system itself. Without it, you can get attacked by some person on the other side of the world, and by the time you wake up, they are asleep, and likely have thier 12 hour shield by then, making revenge impossible, unless you too stay awake when they wake up, and 'make the mistake' of going off line.

if your a TH 10 with enough DE to matter zapping and ur getting attacked by TH 7 then you are obviously trolling and carrying a super low trophy count so ur not attacked by other TH 10s. i am a maxed TH 9 and i have not been zapped in forever and rarely get attacked by TH 7 or 8. increase ur trophy count and stop trolling. you deserve to be zapped if that s how ur going to play.

What you just said here is totally irrelevant .. He just said that they use lighting spells on his DE storage without even trying to get his townhall. Damn learn to read.

Hey smart guy,

When you have your Town Hall inside of your walls, 95% of people who get you as an option to attack, will simply pass. When you have your Town Hall exposed, I cannot leave my game alone for 5 minutes before I get attacked again. It doesn't matter if the people who are zapping are going after your town hall or not, the difference is do you want 10,000 people to have a chance to look at your base and decide if they want to attack, or 100 people?

I'm saying, you'd have a shield by the time zappers even got the chance to look at it because you'd have been attacked for a 2% 1 star by the time any get there. There are way more trophy hunters than zappers, so give them the chance to give you a shield before the zappers get there.

I still think this isn't really a big problem though so.

Or better yet just make it so that zapping doesnt damage storages, kinda unfair for a th7 attacking me using 3 lvl4 zaps and gets away with 1k DE with so little effort, and if I do a revenge I take the loot penalty and not even get 1/2 of what I lost.

Is it fair that u raid them being an advanced player compared to them?
