Please fix lightening spells on dark elixir storage!!!

[jonnguy2014]

Okay, everyone who is whining about zapping.
http://forum.supercell.net/attachmen...06&d=143500112
You lose about 1.8 k DE each raid.
The fix is quite simple actually.
Keep your shield.
Your drills make 7.2k in 12 hours, you would still have 5.4k.
An hour of raiding should raise it to 6k AT THE VERY LEAST(600 DE isn't hard to get in an hour)
A good raider should get another 2k to finish at 7.5k. So that's a profit of 7.5k a day. Slow going, but when has Clash been easy?

Just go google these words..."supercell lightening spell dark elixir storage" and you'll see tens of thousands of people complaining about it...heck, the guy on here's already said 6 million people have complained about it on these forums alone! I feel like a character in Children of the Corn in this thread, everyone just wants to lash out and attack my proposal. My voice counts to and I'm going to let it be heard! The first guy that responded in a very negative way and I gave it back to him and since then everyone's been attacking the adult lol

We haven't been attacking you, we calmly explained that your idea is ruled out. You were the attacker

About that part of "giving it back to me"

If you were offended my first post on this thread...just...wow.

Agreed, nothing offensive about the first post.

I just don't think you're getting your head around this so let me help you.....the total dark elixir it takes to max out your heroes is 7,925,000 I want you to think about that. Then I want you to go look at how much dark you've collected in raids. That's seven million nine hundred and twenty five thousand dark before unit upgrades before wars or attacking and before pesky lightening spells that take NO SKILL! The queen takes 227 days and 12 hours worth of time so that little fun fact is for people who think I should have max heros after 2.5 years.

Barching takes no skill either...do you have a problem with barching?

Honestly, anyone who spends almost 3 years on a single game is very obsessed, and anyone who spends $6000 on a game is even more obsessed. It doesn't make you better that others because you spent more money than they did.

If you compare batman and spider-man, spider-man and batman are around equally matched even though one is a billionaire and the other lives with his aunt. Not having the money to do something means you compensate with skill or another trait.

Maybe if I spent 6000 dollars and 3 years on a game and someone took 2000 of a virtual resource from me I would be complaining to everyone I saw too.

Agreed

Alright Stanley. Rather than retype this all as a new message I'll simply paste it. While it does not detail EVERY aspect of zapping it touches on most of them, especially the main ones. Not only the drawbacks and benefits of zapping to the zapper and zappie, but more importantly the benefit zapping has to the health of the overall game.

For the reasons I state below I zapped a lot when I was TH7, a bit at TH8, but have not for a year or more now. I still get zapped and it annoys me too. But I SHOULD get zapped because I am a maxed TH9 grinding walls down in gold. The single point of CoC is to take stuff from other players. No player should be invincible beyond a shield that they either paid for with gems, or they paid for when their base was raided. Zapping is the ONLY way people who exist naturally in gold stand a chance against developed TH9/10 players. That is why zapping is good for the game and should not be removed. Zapping is good because I don't like it. It makes me want to push trophies until I realize that up there I will loose more than the paltry amount I get zapped for.

Also, you touched on the huge number of people who complain about zapping. If you search previous threads on the topic you will see that every honest poll on the subject comes out to between 75/25% - 95/5% in favor of not nerfing zapping. There is a very emotionally charged and vocal minority, but they are in fact a minority by a very wide margin.

I'm sure you won't like it but happy reading anyway.

Still a bad idea. Every time. Because . . . I'll just leave this hear . . . again.



You're welcome.

Ice hit the nail on the head here.

Yes I can understand the frustration of a good farmer .I too get zapped by the noobs .And revenging is almost impossible in any leagues.

Lets hope SC will make changes soon.

Push up to Masters. Very few noobs there.

Its funny when a little th 7 players comments on this forum like a pro. And SC stated they have no plans yet and not "NEVER "
Change.
All the days of zapping will come to end one day. And zappers will quit the game as they dont know to raid and farm lol.

Fixes to zapping are ruled out, SC won't make any changes to them. They might, but you have a better chance of winning the lottery.
And quite on the contrary. Zappers are pretty smart if they have figured out this shortcut to the loot system. They will adapt. Clash is really a game of adaptation. Meet every new challenge, or get phased out of the game.

I've been playing this game for almost 3 years and it has always been my biggest pet peeve. I am close to maxing my heros out, I have max def, I have to have 180,000+ dark in order to get an upgrade which currently, with my drills staying boosted, takes about 8-9 days. It's not cool when you work your butt off to get something upgraded and some TH 9 comes by with 5 level 4 lightening spells and takes 2200 of your hard earned dark elixir away. This takes its toll after you've been hit 5 times. I just had 5700 dark taken away from me in one day (yesterday). I got 2k back in revenge but I can't catch the real culprits. This is a cheap, no strategy, zero skill method of gaining dark elixir. Surely I'm not the only one that sees this as a problem and a flaw in the game. I know all of my clan mates find this ridiculous and so do all of the other humans that I know in person. Just make one more upgrade on the dark elixir storage with part of the perk to handle lightening spells or something, get creative...it's what you do best supercell!

Its a strategy. Its all part of the game. It's fine if someone wants to use a natural function in the game to get a natural resource. They already lose tons of elixir making the spells, more than the elixir is worth. Chill, its fine.

I have been playing 2.5 years on 3 accounts (2 th 10 and one almost max 9) I have not found the DE zap to be a problem for me. Frankly I revenge the person if they zap me but again it has not been a big problem for me. I currently have 140k de on one of my tens and 60k de on another and the nine has less cuz I just finished my queen (I had 150k til i upped her to 30) I really dont understand why folks are so upset about this. I am in champ on my tens and gold I on my th 9 acct and it does not affect me.

[Buns]

jc, if u did get zap, heres a way out, u did say uve spent 6000 on this game, so money shudnt be problem with u yes?

then 250 gems for 1 week shield should brings u more than the DE u mentioned if u have TH10 and maxed out DE drill, or u cud boost the spell factory, and zap it back... easy.... why need the hassle of messing with the dev?

[jerry93]

Sure, Jerry93, you're the alpha male here. I may be a 'little' TH7 player, I'm not the one whining and naggging about some game features... I have an actual life out here, with a wife, a job, a couple of kids,... You know, the stuff that really matters in life.

I see ur dumb comments on every post.. so rather waisting time here go and improve your base.

[DarkatomicOG]

Am I the only one who thinks jerry93 is OP's alt?

[Jcstanley]

I wanna yank this OP's chain too! Looks like fun... This is by far the most entertaining Anti-zapping thread I've read.

I hope you, Jcstanley, feel good about insulting people you don't know anything about. Sure, check out my game-stats in my sig. They're honest and true. I'm playing CoC since a few months, and I'm nearly on a maxed out TH7.

And I zap too. It's the only way to get that much needed DE to level up my BK, in a reasonable time. There is however one catch. I only zap TH9 and TH10 bases. Never TH8. Why?! Because of the Loot Multiplier. Being a TH7, a TH9 can only raid 50% of the available loot, a TH10 just 25%.
So, if I zap a TH9 base and gain like 1,000 DE and that guy revenges me, he'll take no more than 600 DE from me (if my DE-tank is full). Because at TH7 the DE cap is set to 1,200 and the Loot Multiplier for a TH9 attacking a TH7 is 50%... If it's a TH10, he'll have to do with just 300 DE.
No matter how, I end up with more DE... Even if someone 3-stars me in a revenge attack...

But to make revenging nearly impossible, I raid a lot of TH6's as well. For their Gold and Elixir (up to 250K each per raid). And my TH is outside my walls. Which means I usually get my 12h shield within minutes after logging off. Because some tiny TH6'er snipes my TH and takes a few trophies home.

Son I'm a master at getting shields and growing my resources. I fluctuate between 1500 trophies to 1900 trophies weekly. We're talking nearly 8 million dark to max out your heroes and over a year and a half to max them both out in just time alone. People don't like it. Fix it!

Im right with you, but I can't stay sitting down in one place touching my iPad ever 20 seconds to keep it active while my troops are being made. I'm currently at 185,000 for my queen and what started all this is I had 5800 taken away with lightening spells in 3 hours. That's insane! I got half of it back in revenge but this one Asian clan that got me is ALWAYS online. I can check it to revenge at 6:30AM central standard time, 12, 6, 8, 11PM and he's always online. I can check it at 2AM and he's online. He's about to be filtered through my revenge opportunity. It just messes my flow up and these heroes are expensive.

Ive noticed something about trolls like you that comment on here....they are all freshly active. May 2015. You still have wooden collectors. Stop trolling, OP.

Ive maybe used a one week shield 6 times. My daily dark goal is between 23-25k a day. That's with my drills being boosted constantly. That's another thing. These clowns are costing me real cash when they No Skill my dark.
