New Idea: Lightning Rod

[Apollo1976]

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.

hey, it was just a suggestion. You folks need to take a chill pill. Every day I see people whining about losing DE to zappers. While its normally never something I noticed, I noticed it this weekend and gave you all full specifics.

Some so called "experts" are sitting here ignorantly telling me wrong amounts of DE that can be taken when I can produce screenshots to prove otherwise.

I also don't think it is unfair to want to protect the most valuable resource in the game from zappers. Even just reducing the effectiveness of zapping is beneficial to us all IMO. I generally go thru a ton of DE as I know its tough for my clan mates to fill war castles with DE troops while also trying to level their heroes. In any given 20 man war, I burn through 30-40K DE. Thus the reason I try to fill it up by farming for a few days.

Lesson learned about dropping low tho...I won't be doing that again. Eff the unbreakable achievement(which should be worth like 20k gems btw, not 20)

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.

Right then lets do the maths shall we?

Max lightning spells damage = 450
Maximum number of spells = 5
5 x 450 = 2250
Maximum DE storage HP = 3,200
DE cap TH10 = 3,000
DE per storage hitpoint = 3,000/3,200 = 0.9375
DE lost to 5 zaps = 0.9375 * 2250 = 2109

Unless you have your DE storage right next to your CC which is also holding DE and right next to your collectors, again holding DE, then that is the maximum that can be taken from the DE storage.

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.

Perfect analogy btw. Touche. Lesson learned.

Once again, you just need to understand this: For so long people have been requesting this stuff and quite frankly everyone is sick of it. We don't mean to be rude but sometimes it just gets the better of us.

Dude, not sure how nerdy you want to get here, but I am telling you, there were many raids where they got 3k+ DE. Perhaps zapping and hitting collectors, who knows, but your math does not change my reality and its all over my war logs so I am done arguing with a know nothing ignorant noob who has probably never played with a max TH10 and has no idea what I am talking about.

Again, ♥♥♥ are you doing in sub 400?

I would like to see screenshots.

And yes Kowalski's right, we do get sick of it.

If you complain about the zapping and it only being worth 20 gems, what are you doing down there?

Hold on a second here, I have never once in any of my posts insulted you I was just pointing out the maths behind the maximum that can be taken from a maxed DE storage by lightning spells.

Please don't insult your or my intelligence by resorting to name calling and insults.

On that we can agree.
