"I'm Maxed out TH x except"

[IDBGOD28]

Please don't ask me how because I can provide no valid evidence, however if you believe me word: I was raiding and I saw a base with full lvl 11 walls but most defenses were still on par with TH8. The base's heroes were sleeping so I don't recall their level.

Yes, but it's clear he obviously was keeping his defenses low for a reason (possibly war matchup, who knows).

Maxed lvl 11 walls are more than all defensive upgrades resource wise gold alone combined from TH8-10 more than a few times over, so again this was intentional... i.e. not normal progression. 2 walls is a maxed inferno tower lol, and you have 250 of them.

People who normally upgrade are max defensive way before walls and heroes are even remotely close to maxed (especially Th9/10) where walls and heroes cost a fortune compared to previous TH's.

This is evidenced by all the max defensive TH10's you see on a regular basis with weak walls/heroes. Just look at them. If it were so easy, they would have maxed them already...but alas that's what happens when you upgrade prematurely and don't optimize loot at your respective TH. Just prolongs the inevitable. That or they end up gemming them, lol.

yeah i don't get it either.
If you have stuff left to do, you're not maxed. They could just say maxed defense or whatever but they shouldn't be saying "I have a max TH9/TH10" when they obviously have stuff like walls and heroes left to do, and that isn't being maxed.

[IDBGOD28]

People really shouldn't be using the term "maxed" period if they aren't maxed. It too confusing nor is it in defense of simplicity.

Instead, what they should be saying is I have a well/upgraded, high tier Th9/10.

"Maxed" shouldn't even come into play.... unless they are full zap 40/40's whole shebang, or maxed for their respective TH.

Not that they should have to explain their base to anyone anyway. The profile button exists for a reason. You can see for yourself via profile and view base what is and what is not maxed.

Anyway, too much fuss over this. I digress.

But people I'm sure will continue to misuse the term, or not specify what they mean by "maxed" hence the OP's reason for creating this topic in the first place.

They should just say
"Oh no I ain't fully maxed but I don't need to worry about my defences anymore . "
also some say they do not wait for the lab to finish upgrading ( when they have fully maxed everything else ) but tbh I actually like to max out in every way possible. Even if I have to spend weeks or months with nothing to upgrade and all my storages are full, so if/when that happens I would probably make a troll base and be nice and let everyone steal my loot, then I would have time to fully explore all the different attack strats even if some are bad, and it wouldn't matter if I failed them. I could also have time go to to a high league like masters ( I'm only th7 so that is pretty high for me haha ) and explore different leagues to find my comfort zone

Everybody can max out th8 completely [troops (also the one troop you never use], spells, defences, king, walls) with a little effort.

Maxing out TH9 is a completely different beast, even if you came to TH9 from a maxed TH8.

Maxing defences takes 5 builders about 6 months.
Maxing troops (all of them, also the ones you don't use) takes about 6 months.

IF you are a master DE farmer and can keep both of your heroes upgrading constantly they can be maxed at level 30 in 6 months. That is 6 months without ever using heroes in war even once. This is not realistic to most players.

The question is: Is it quicker to get 3-4 million DE or 1 billion G/E ?

Yes.. Maxing defences and troops at TH9 is the easy part.. maxing out the heroes and getting those Lavas are where the th9 play time is.

TH9 will take 14 months to complete, to _really_ complete.

Clash of Clans is not a coin up Arcade game .. it's a long term commitment :-)

You simply don't need to use the word max to describe your current status.

For example, I'm a town hall 9 with just walls and heroes left to upgrade. Simple and implies everything else is already upgraded.

Versus, I'm a maxed town hall 9 except for walls and heroes. See the difference.

Technically, they both say the same thing.

Max means what supercell decide to be in one th but those supercell rules for every th are not balanced!
Example:
Th7: lvl1-5 king needs 75k de and one week!
Th8: lvl5-10 king needs 152k de and about 20 days!
Th9: lvl10-30 king + lvl1-30 queen needs 3.5m de and 157.5 days for queen 135 days for king!
So if you max everything until th9 basically you need to upgrade both heroes non stop in th9 to be a max th9 with all 5 builders working all time!

So no! Just rush! Or whatever they call it 8.5 or anything else.

Personally I love to see people with max walls heroes rather than max defense!

It is impossible to upgrade both heroes non stop in th9 with 5 builders working all time!
If you think it is possible show me one great farmer who don't war at all and came to th9 with a max th8 and have 30/30 heroes before defenses with 5 builders working!


one billion gg,ee is more easier than 3.5 million de. Because:
For gold elixir you just can barch easy inactives and noobs in low leagues but for de you cannot rely on finding full lvl6 drills every raid!
You should go for de storage in high leagues!


You need proof: there are dozens of th9 in this forum with full lava but no one have 30/30 heroes!

Edit:
I will be a max th9 with full lava and lvl30/30 heroes before defenses in 12 weeks from now! Without gemming !
That's because I rush to th9 and had more time to upgrade heroes. 92 days more than a max th8 exactly.

They should really just say, "I only need to upgrade 'this' or 'that' until I'm maxed."

So for me, I just need 20 more walls, dark spell upgrades, and the new air sweeper until I'm maxed.

[Drackos]

Because it's often the simplest description of their base. Why say "I have maxed TH 9 and done the TH 10 upgrades for the cannons, ATs, ADs, etc.", when you can say "I'm a maxed TH 10 except for heros, walls, and dark spells" for example?

What he said. I'm not going to list out a full list of what I maxed. When you say "I'm maxed except" what you're saying is that's what you have left. I maxed 7 except collectors meaning everything else was max but those.

[ClarkTheShnark]

I consider myself a maxed townhall 9 because my defenses are maxed and my lab is maxed. I think heroes and walls are overlookable (personal opinion)
