Unhappy with the Resource Protection Update?

[Frosticewolf]

Lightning was for players who wanted to play cheap. As you see, most other replies are like mine too. I like this new update.

I dont like this update (and before you ask i have a th9 and a th10 acc farming heroes so i always have alot of de on both) not because i dont get zapped but it affects the food chain too much and will make it hard for new players to come as it doesnt just mean they cant zap. With this update many th9's and 10's i know have dropped to silver after this update and not because loot has changed at all it is that the fear of being zapped de has dissapeared. Now wheres the problem well th7-8 farm there (generally th7 are in lower silver leagues and th8's are in high silver low gold farming) so they are being obliterated without hope of keeping their loot overnight now everyone likes easy loot but is aggressively wiping out these lower town halls the future of the game wise because everyone here would have been discouraged after being bullied a few times but every attack to be a bully that's a bit much. for higher town halls it was a god send but you were artificially lowering your trophies and not just letting your def holding you in a decent range which is where this issue has sourced from as those artificially lowering were the ones complaining and the ones rejoicing, the ones in a range their defenses were suited in (my th10 acc maintains m1 even with me losing battles as idc about trophies) i never ever got zapped in months. zapping gave a reason for h9's and 10's to not just drop where they want and farm the weak the common complaint about zapping is it bypassed defenses but isnt that what farming on a lower town hall also do?

who zaps a DE Drill?

I never recommended it.Although if your troops fail you could try to get the last bit of de.Which is the reason you should make sure your troops attack the storage first because if they miss the drill,we can take care of that.I use this strategy although it does put me one rage short.

Fortunately zapping is gone. I farm in silver and gold as a th 10 now. There are so many maxed 9 and early tens there that it is good hunting. As a ten you never hit a 8 due to the loot penalty. The problem with zappign was that is was not just th7 or 8. It was really dreadfull even maxed 10 where zapping. I never zapped and always thought it was not the way the game should be played.

The better players down in silver attack eachother. It is more like a new sub 200. Not the place to be for a th8.

Well, I'm gonna get straight to the topic. When the update came out removing the advantage of lightning spell in damaging storages, I was pretty disappointed. That's because Lightning Spell was pretty much the only way I farmed Dark Elixir which is mostly in the center of one's base. So, I just wanna know how many of you share this disappointment and how many think that the update was for the 'Greater Good' or whatever? Am I wrong on being so dependent on the lightning spell?

No, I won't miss this as it is a lot more fun and still quite easy to farm DE.

I use a GiGarch army comp, using the giants to tank, the archers to clear the resource building (collectors) and then the goblins to core into the center (ull need at least 1 heal) and obviously WB to break walls.

Well,if its de you want you shouldn't care about normal elixir.These barchers an gibarch dont get me any de.So,well,I just pick up 5 drags and 13 balloons and go stealing.If your really that used to zapping,try looking for a de drill thats full and zap it although you should try the above army to get the most out of it.Mass dragon should work too for you.

This. Cook dragons before you go to bed - one good drag raid a day, plus maxing your drills, plus de from war loot should get you plenty of de to keep your lab busy. It's easy at th8 once you hit the goo surplus as you can afford expensive armies. Th7 is more of a challenge, but b2b warring is getting me de on my mini.

zap was considered as inefficient way to farm gold and elixir and it was.only thing i heard these day de zappers complaining.but you need to move on with updates

I never had a problem with zapping.

95% of the posts here are utterly

People can play the game how they want. I zapped because I could, I was TH8 full on elixir. I don't care how people attacked me. If the game allows it, nothing wrong with it. There were, and still are, bigger problems than zapping.

Kicking people from your clan because they zapped, calling OP a noob etc....that adds nothing to this thread. In fact, how other people raid is their choice.

Ultimately, if you were reliant on zapping, you would be making very slow progress.

Too many people don't realise the forums are for (allegedly) the better, more informed players of the game. That makes up about 1% of the people that play the game.
