Loot, League Bonuses and Trophy Offers <-- Discuss it HERE!

Interesting that you ALWAYS carry that with you for that reason. You must have never used it since EQ will not destroy any building on it's last legs.

Of course it will.

While there is no destruction threshold any more, and no building (apart from walls) can be completely destroyed by EQ alone, any building whose % hit points left are less then the stated % damage for an EQ (14% for lvl 1, 25% for max) will be destroyed by the first EQ dropped on it.

So if your troops have knocked off 86% of the TH hitpoints, a lvl1 EQ will then destroy it.

Hi, i am a max defence TH10, 95% Lava Walls Done, Lvl 40BK & 38AQ farming in master II & III, if i go offline for whatever reason for a small amount of time i use my pushing base and in 3 months i have been attacked in the first 30 min twice (2 really bad attack under the 30%). The only real attacks happened when i forgot to switch to my farming base (that has the TH outside) and always after some hour.
The point is : if i stay online for 3 hours (even if not attacking), collecting everything, then kicked out, wait 6 min then go online wait 15 min got kicked out and so on till the mercy rule applies and then go online for other 3 hour; i am exposed to an attack 3 times for 6 min each with no loot in collectors(when if my experience nothing really happens) so i am virtually hiding all my loot for all the time i wont, same to what happens now if i leave the TH outside and get sniped in no more then 10 seconds.

BUT you may say that you have a life, you need to work/study/sleep... get a very intelligent cat !!! or ... i really fear fluffy would be on the rise.

Nobody is attacking you now because almost everyone is having their TH outside to be sniped. This will change with this updated.. You will definitely be attacked more when your TH is inside compared to now, I guess it will still depend though on how much loot you have to grab.

Contrariwise, because a huge number of player are under an easy shield now; so after this update hits the ground (or crashes), there will be more village to raid (i suppose this is what supercell minds think). From the loot side i always offer zero loot from collectors and around 300k Gold or 300k Elixir (which one depends by the wall upgrade order) and quite always 3k DE.

I use to play 2 or 3 hours per day (usually before sleep), farming with Barch or BAM, collecting 2 -3 million and keeping my 5 builders busy. My TH is outside and I change my league depends on how much loot I can find by sniping.
So either I have to change my whole game or say bb (leaving my storages, collectors and TH outside, as a good boy).
Am I right?

If you want to farm untouched try the two hour village guard for 10 gems boost during that time to farm and guess what no pen attacking threw a village guard and you can do this once a day which sounds like a win for just about everyone and pushers won't be attacking then right after defending I'm so happy for this update time to get players not to suck as much

Yes, I do think if you are going to do a boosted raid session, it is worth adding the Village Guard, which will cost just the same as one boosted barracks or spell bowl or hero, and cover the same period, so that you won't get raided due to an accidental connection drop.

There are only two ways loot is created in this game - either through collectors (which aren't changing, unless there is something in a later announcement), or through multiplayer win bonuses. The goblin road also gives a small amount, but that is insignificant in comparison.

On the contrary, I believe ive probably made more loot from losses, than wins. I mean players who have farmed in gold/silver are very rarely worried about winning...

Edit: Actually read that wrong..thought you were on about loot gain, rather than creation. My bad

Wow investors must be happy. They managed to create another source of 10 gems income. Times 2 hours.

as other have said, i'll see what happens, but i, as a casual player, i am worried a lot about fairness... i make a couple Attacks every day, i don't have time to do more.. having th outside granted me a lot of free shield and so the possibility to slowly progress in the game... now how am i supposed to progress, with just a couple Attacks per day, if each time the shield expires i will be raided a significative part of my loot..my upgrades cost 4.000.000 gold, so i'll have to expose 350K gold for a lot of time before spending it in the upgrade...the same for elixir... i can farm 580K elixir each day with collectors, but if 3 full Attacks cost a little less than 1M, i will have to loot at least 200K elixir x attack just to get even... how will i ever be able to put away millions of elixir for the upgrades ?

Loot bonus is high enough as it is already...the town hall sniping removed will counter the fact that there will be more players in higher leagues getting bigger win bonuses.

Edit: By bigger I mean bigger than the leagues they would have been in before hand. More trophies are being added higher up in the game making it easier to climb leagues.

I will be surprised if that factor is anywhere near enough to counter the loss of income generated by snipes, although it will have an offsetting effect.

Simple answer. Dont expect to get far quickly, its always been about effort..the more you put in, the more you gain.
If I was you, and you are passionate about this game...leave your wife, sell your house, rent a caravan..and clash on to progress
Or of course..get your purse out.

So before hand when people were going for win bonus they weren't going for 50%?

If you were doing a full raid, and trying for the bonus, then often yes, you would be looking to get 50% (at which point you will get around 10% less win bonus now than you would have before).

But if the TH was fairly accessible, it would often be easier to get that, and go away with 25-30% damage, than to work hard at getting 50%.

And of course TH snipes wouldget you the win bonus for about 1-2% damage.

Also it isn't like you NEED 70% to profit with armies...Supercell will balance this if it is unbalanced. They aren't going to let the game die and there is a reason testing and balancing took so long for this update.

They will. I just hope they can react quickly enough when it becomes obvious that loot has seriously dried up. Which I do believe is likely.
