TH loot penalty should be made known within the game

[madpharma]

+1. I'm a clan leader and must have explained the loot penalty like 1000 times or more to new members rushing their TH7 TH8 and TH9. People are totally clueless about that. And when I explain it they are really surprised.

Yes,
Supercell haven't made the loot bonuses clear at all im only TH7 which i got 2 days ago i never knew loot bonus existed maybe have a players guide section within the app that player up to TH5 can refer to that would help alot.

 I approve this message.

I third that approval!

I can't promise anything but I'll run the idea by the game team.

I don't think we'd message that in-game anyways, and even if we did, people wouldn't read things. A lot of people don't read things. You guys are usually pretty good at reading stuff, but people wouldn't read stuff and then they would be upset anyways.

If it's not buried it will be read. Just have it as part of the "Are you sure?" screen.

The understanding of the TH mechanic / loot adjustments in the game is pretty much fundamental to success or frustration in the game. Why not make it easier for players not to be frustrated with a casual game.

Yea, I give this idea 👍👍! Maybe this will stop people from going up in ths so quickly.

Since it makes a significant difference to players perhaps there should be more than zero effort to communicate it.

Even on the forums SC is tight lipped about TH penalties and bonuses. There has been one post from SC identifying this, when it was introduced, and nothing since then even though there have been several changes.

I don't really care for myself, I'm well aware of the penalty and I read when people check the game files for changes or post if anyone has observed changes. It's sad to see people post here when they get to TH 9/10 to just learn about it and worse yet if they never come to the forums they may never realize what the problem is.

Yep, i defiantly agree. I went from TH2 to TH7 in about 5 days (i had TH3 defenses at TH7), and that ruined me. To make it worse, i upgraded to TH8 very quickly (ruining the chances that you get at TH7) before being told that it was best to max everything out. Luckily im still TH8 (about to go to TH9 with maxed buildings), but it cost me at least a month of extra work; trying to get enough resources with a TH8 raiding TH4/5s with lvl 2 troops

Hey Guys,

Thank you so much for your feedback. I have started a conversation on the topic with the team and will get back to you when I have more information.

Stay tuned!

Good news, Steve. Thanks for at least opening a dialogue on this. Hoping for some sort of warning for the noobs.

Glad to see this at least has the possibility of being finally addressed properly.

At best I'd like a breakdown of the penalties %'s in the forums with a smaller in-game breakdown during TH upgrade.

At worst it would be acceptable to have an in-game start message "Raiding higher or lower level TH's gives you a loot bonus or penalty, depending! Choose wisely" or something of the start. Simple, and you cover your own bases when ppl come here complaining "well no one told me"


Thanks for not remaining silent on the issue any longer.

Can't say that I like it, but I can see why it was implemented. Otherwise you'll have all high level THs picking on the low ones
