Thread: Walls with Elixir (FIXED!!!)
I maxed all my walls at town hall 8 during the September to December period when you could upgrade them with elixir. Now I am town hall 9 and I see why they need the elixir... All the upgrades are between 4.5 million to 6 million... It seems weird to me the town hall 8 troop upgrades are only 2 million (not counting rage spell and pekkas to 3), why the big jump?
Saying that giving elixir wall upgrades to TH8 ruins the economy is a falty argument. The problem is not TH8 SPENDING their own resource, it's the high cost of TH9 upgrades plus your laziness to farm like everyone else does.Originally Posted by badfish1979
Because the economy was horrible between September and December. Moving elixir up to level 9 improved the situation dramatically.
All I still see here is "if I can't have it no one can!"
So the economy of TH10 is ruined because of you? TH10 can't loot your elixir so easily because you can spend it all, like you should, so when you hit TH10 you will petition SC to remove TH9 capability to use their own elixir just to make your life easier?
You have a faulty argument Sir. TH8 spending THEIR OWN resource isn't ruining the economy.
Were you playing the game yet when they first added the elixir for walls update? At first level 7 walls and up could be upgraded with elixir. I was late TH7 or early TH8 at the time and in the span of a day it went from loot to be had fairly easily to there being no elixir to be raided anywhere! It doesn't sound like it would make a difference but it was really bad.
I think the problem came down to the fact that you could bring the amount of loot in your storages really low pretty easily with level 7/8 walls. At TH8 working on skull walls if you are at 600k elixir before going offline, you'd probably dump 500k of that into a wall if you could leaving just leaving just 14k elixir available in your storages for looting.
Once you start dealing with level 9 walls at a million elixir a piece though, the math changes. You are ready to go offline and you have 950k in your storages so you can't get a wall, that leaves 114k for looting. Not a great amount but still better than the 14k. Maybe you like leaving a buffer so you go offline with 1.5 million elixir which leaves 180k elixir for looting. Now we're getting up to a more lootable amount.
As much as it sucks, much of this game depends on looting from town halls below you. With TH8s being able to basically remove all of their loot from the game, that killed the loot for TH9s which in turn killed the loot for the TH10s that prey on the TH9s that prey on the TH8s. That ripple effect was something that Supercell wasn't able to predict when they first started allowing elixir to be used on walls. As much as I hate to say it since I'm working on lego walls right now, I think it might even help out the economy a lot if elixir could only be used on level 10 and 11 walls.

Ha! Jokes on you Supercell, I did 40 skulls today, 20 of them with elixir, #anarchy
Ps: New skull design looks like plastic
Those who are currently townhall 7/8 and arguing for elixir for skulls didn't experience the massive drought last fall. We can argue with them until we are blue in the face, but they just won't understand the impact this change had for the worse.
Save your breath and don't worry, supercell isn't about to bring back that disaster.
The Current crop of townhall 8s may understand when they upgrade to townhall 9 and realize that elixir starts to become more scarce.

There is the gap between getting enough elixir to cover a storage raid and not getting enough. Loot was definitely rough when it was implemented before.
At first I was saving elixir for my barracks upgrades, but how often do you get a chance like this? I did a boost for 6 skulls, elixir only. Almost have full skulls now, only 20 more to go
I'd love it if SC removed elixir for all walls. I farmed a ton of lavas at TH9 before the elixir change, and now all the new TH9s have it easier.
I used 4m worth of elixir on walls that would otherwise just sat around and waited for the lab to be done.

Ummm let me try to understand the logic here, u (SC and th9+) wants us (th7,8s) to sit here with 6 mil elixir in our storage and not be able to spend it on anything so ppl with th9+ easily raid us and get quick elixir??!!
Ya sure it doesn't sound broken at all, GG very nice solution, im just so glad that these guys are not running a country as government....
