Walls with Elixir (FIXED!!!)

[fabioascoelho]

TH8s with excess elixir isn't a problem, not having any elixir to loot in the entire game is. TH8s would soon be complaining about the lack after all the TH7 spend all their elixir on there walls. TH7s would only need enough elixir to keep raiding, so might keep 500k max in there stores which means th8 would only get up to 72 k elixir of loot from them. So th7s have spent it all, th8s can't earn enough to pay for upgrade and neither can th9 or 10. this is what started happening the last time, it just didn't go on long enough to affect th8s as much as it did th9s

So how do People farm GOLD if every town hall level can spend GOLD into walls and other stuff? Do you even farm gold? Your argument is that TH8 need to Stockpile Elixir so that you can have enough to loot. How does that work for TH10 or to Gold farm? You are just used to loot 400-500k per raid and don't want to do 8-10 raids for a single Lego Wall, you are greedy and want to do 2 raids for a single piece of wall.
No other TH level starve from resource farm like you say TH9 would with elixir being used on walls.

So what you're saying is that having too much loot is worse than not having enough loot.
Got it.

You will only have no loot if you don't farm it. Do it like every TH level, farm 150-200k per raid and not 400-500k like you are used to.

And when you upgrade to th9 where are you going to get your elixir?

The same way a TH9 get gold from. And the same way a TH10 get elixir from, and the same way any TH level get resource from.
You are just spoiled to hit NEXT just once and find a TH8 with 400k elixir to loot. You need to re-learn how to click next more to get better loot bases.

I was raided just as the maintenance finished and I lost 32 trophies... I'm a little disappointed.

Glad supercell fixed this. Just use gold like everyone else did.

Guy, you're going to be a TH9 with skull walls very very soon. Trust me when I say you will understand once you get there. We all had to upgrade to skulls(well most of us) with gold. I did it and now I'm able to upgrade my skulls with extra elixir.

It's not like you just hit TH9 and suddenly you can use elixir for walls. YOU NEED TO GET SKULLS WITH GOLD NO MATTER WHAT TH LEVEL YOU ARE. THIS ISN'T A TH8 THING ITS A WALL LEVEL THING. I can't just dump a tiny 500k every time I get it, into walls. I need to save 1-3M, which usually leaves plenty to be raided.

I do get it. Having an easier method of upgrading stuff is great. And due to the fact that your walls cost more than mine it can leave more to be raided. And it is a TH thing as I cannot upgrade to lego walls. I get that the walls are the focus but telling me a TH9 that rushed up (having the option of better upgraded defenses/more of those defenses/more powerful troops/more of those troops/more troops space in the CC/ and X-bows) couldnt easily defend the elixer they have compared to any TH8.
Those of us TH8's who stay to max (because it is our choice to max) get picked on by these TH9's and others. But I am not upset about this. It is what it is. And my argument isn't for TH8's to keep elixer for walls. My argument is to make it for ONLY MAX WALLS. I already detailed it in my last post and how it would improve things so I wont go over that again. I really only want to fix the economic situation accross the board.

Maybe it is a gemming thing? Maybe the Skull walls are the top selling wall item for gemmers and SC doesn't want to give up that extra "loot".

Seems pointless though. The TH8 guys are the ones that get hosed. TH9 & TH10s can use their extra Elixer to upgrade the skull walls they already have while waiting on the gold for lower level ones.

Not. A. Chance.

Elixir is what is used to pay for those farming armies. Elixir is the lifeblood of the game.

When low-level walls could be upgraded with elixir, the economy dried up because:

1. Raiding bases that had enough elixir to pay for your army became much more rare because so much elixir was being dumped on walls. It only took increments of 200k-500k to get rid of it.

2. Many people that had previously ignored walls suddenly had a new resource dump on top of the fact that they could farm walls twice as fast or more. These people began dumping both gold and elixir into walls before logging out to remove any chance of other people stealing their resources.

You will only have no loot if you don't farm it. Do it like every TH level, farm 150-200k per raid and not 400-500k like you are used to.

You mean kill the economy just so you can have the easy button until TH9?

No thanks.

This is where you are wrong. It IS a TH8 thing.
Because when you upgrade to TH9 you can spoil all that excess lix in lego's.
The problem for a TH8 player who knows what he is doing isn't maxxing skulls. The problem is all that lix just going to waste!!!
It is just rediculous. After about 2 - 3 weeks into TH8 we just don't have a way to invest our lix.
Sure there is pekka 3 and stuff but that is one time. One long session or a boost session later we are there again: sitting on 6M lix doing nothing.

SC should fix the economy, maybe reevaluate the update cost.
But the resource imbalance at TH8 is just a complete joke as it is now.

I saw someone posting here that he would give 1.5M for a lix wall.
Hell, I would give the full 6M for it.
Prices don't matter for an active TH8, it's seeing all that waste that is the horror.
Only viable option: rush to TH9.
In any game it is always a bad thing that 1 strategy is better than another so please SC, if you are out there, just fix TH8 imbalance.

Why does everyone complain about that Jr helps everyone with the loot they can't spend I am max on my low account on elixer so I used it all today on walls now I can't use any again thanks gemmers for complaining again

[Thwnd]

we all agree that there is an elixir imbalance at TH8. but being able to dump elixir into low level walls is not the answer. supercell tried this before. the experiment lasted several months and was a total and epic failure. i agree that something needs to be done, but this is not the answer.
