New Idea: Lightning Rod

[HoopsU]

I love how the title says "New Idea".

Officially added to the "Ruled out" sticky by SC just 3 or 4 days ago. No further need for discussion. Any structure designed to absorb or nullify lightning is officially ruled out.

I completely missed that.

I might make a request thread for updates in the stickies to be highlighted in a different colour and then reverted to black once a new update was made.

Just because it isn't on the first page does not mean it hasn't been on the board. This has been suggested 5,923,320 times before.

Anyway, it's ruled out. And what league are you in?

The reason I brought it up is over the weekend, I figured I would get a bunch of defenses for the Unbreakable achievement. So I trophy dumped down to sub 400(took forever btw) and then signed off for 7-8 minutes. I would sign back on and have a ton of successful defenses, some would give me a shield and I would promptly take it down. Granted, that is counter intuitive to saving resources, but the one thing I learned is that you can get a ton of defenses and I was absolutely shocked to see just how many zappers there actually were. You can get almost 6k from me when I am full, and most of them were taking around 3k and leaving.


I was able to get about 70 defenses on Sunday alone before I dropped again. I started at 200k DE(plus whatever is in CC) and finished at 97K. There were a few good full army raids in the mix. I am not TH sniping to get back into champs league as I doubt they will zap me there, but was just surprised to see just how much can be taken in a single day.

For the haters, I am not exaggerating in any way and there are many players like me. So don't respond to the thread with hate. I am just pointing out that the zaps were significant in a single day. Very significant.

We understand. It's just that the veteran forum-ers get tired of seeing thread after thread about zapping.

[Apollo1976]

Which is it? Either it is a problem for you or it isn't, it can't be both!

Edit: I did the maths and the maximum a TH10 player can lose to another TH10 player zapping is 2,109 DE so it would have meant you had been attacked 47 times in a few hours. Keep that up for a few days and you'll have unbreakable in no time.

you are dead wrong. I have had far more than 2109 stolen from me on a single attack many times. At least 35 on Sunday alone.(almost half the attacks were DE zaps) Most well over 3k.

Then don't go to sub 400? I'm sorry but if you don't want to get zapped, get in a higher league.

If you left an unlocked truck of food in a starving neighborhood would you expect it to be there when you get back? No.

Full DE storages are the truck. Lower leagues are the neighborhoods. Low-level players are the criminals.

So . . . your idea to improve game play in a game who's only purpose is to take resources from one another, is to incentivize TH10's artificially dropping into sub TH7 trophy ranges and make their loot completely unavailable? So much is wrong with this logic that I am having trouble figuring out where to start.

Full DE storages are the truck. Lower leagues are the neighborhoods. Low-level players are the criminals.

To make a more accurate comparison, those low level players are the homeless and starving. It's still not entirely accurate though because in CoC stealing is the purpose, not a crime. With that in mind he is leaving an unlocked truck full of food, with "take whatever you can carry" painted on the side in the middle of a parking lot that is only used by people who are donating to the less fortunate.
