Update is particularly bad for TH8?

[oreo1981]

my early th8 base has been holding up decently..primarily because

-dumping all gold into walls. Even when I go farming, most people dont have gold. Im having a hard time finding people with gold.

The great gold shortage is coming. New method of upgrading will be walls before towers. Itll be a very, very long time until people max out their walls before they have to save for more expensive upgrades.


On a side note, got attacked 3x in last 15 minutes n lost 500k elixir, because the attackers were noobs n couldnt 30% and I couldnt get shielded. Im trying to raise trophy cups so if I get hit at least i get a shield to stock up for a defensive tower upgrade via war loot and 12+ hrs shield...id rather my base get wrecked and get a big shield, than get noob snipe fail attacked multiple times with multiple fails, imo. Youll get noib attacked insilver/gold just for 50k/50k..

but yeah, dump your gold into walls folks, get that done first, its the new norm. Contribute to the gold crisis and do your part.

I am getting totally raped by th9s, and only 1 th10 has hit me since the update. The issue I'm experiencing are the th9s that bust in steal what they can and quit at 29% like jerks. Got hit like that nine times in one hour on Friday before a th8 hit me and gave me a shield. Seems like this update brought out the petulant children that were told no candy, so they are going to make everyone else's life miserable while they have their temper tantrum. If this continues I will not have the resources to continue to war or even play. Had I been given a shield my loses would be considerably less.

I'm a TH9 and if I attack a TH8 I won't be a jerk and stop at the 29% mark because that's just wrong. If I take your resources I will give you a shield. Clash On!

I don't think it is as bad for maxed th8s as it is for new th9s. Which is why my wife gave up on her plans to upgrade her town hall to 9 after she finishes all the walls at th8. All her defenses are maxed and almost all the research completed (currently researching Earthquake and then she has only Valks left). I also told both my kids to stay at th8 until we see what SC does to fix the situation.

one of our maxed th8s finger has been hovering over the cancel button on his upgrading th. he's thinking going to 9 just won't be worth the stress and hassle on a game he used to play for enjoyment in his spare time. He has two more days to decide. In the meantime he's donating troops into cc when we plan to be offline. I'm only mid level and had been holding stagnant while our newer th9s adjusted, but it looks like I won't have to worry about accumulating loot as I can't keep much now. So progressing may not happen. Luckily I only have two lab upgrades and I use neither of those items.

I hit a th10 yesterday. It was a revenge attack. The guy raided me and 100% me. I hit him back because his completely full de storage was in an area I could get to. Then I used the rest of my troops spread out to hit out buildings until I hit 30 percent. I lost, but gave him a shield. I did however get my de back. All my mates are experiencing these 29% childish raiders. They even have a thread where they bragged about it. Mommy must have taken their bottle away to early in life.

I think this update is pretty bad for everyone who was not at least an advanced TH9 prior to the update. As much as I have to admit it, controlling my trophy range allows me to hide in plain sight. I'm doing walls and heroes and am generally broke save max DE offered at most all times. I go untouched, and I log in sporadically during the day. I field a Gibarch with 8 backup wiz, and I take down just about anyone or thing I target. It's a field day of targets for me, but anyone not strong enough to weather the initial storm is getting hammered, and I know it's wrong. But I'm still going to exploit it until it is fixed.

Sorry guys...

as a maxed th9, i still find it pretty hard to defen my de, mostly because people are using gowipe much more commonly in regular raids after this update. or am i jut unlucky?

[tyler4]

Isn't that what I essentially said? And....the whole point of my sarcasm bit?

Yeah, we're agreeing it's hopeless for 8s lol

My TH8 acc (last AT upgrading 1/2walls done) is in crystal 3 atm, loving it... All the snipers/barchers with no clue how to attack are getting 30-40% and no DE, yeah I've been steamrolled a few times by th9s with full armies and spells, but if you've got a well designed base (I'm not posting mine ) it definitely seems the place to be for 8s right now.

Then you're not worth much de, because when you are a competent 9 that wants it will steamroll you. You have no chance at defending level 6 loons or giants.

Am well over the cap on DE, and if a competent 9 finds me first I get steamrolled, but most of my log is.... Wait, I'm getting déjà vu, is this the matrix or something? I feel like the oracle- answering your reply before you wrote it.

The question is, tyler4, would you still have knocked over the vase if you'd actually read and understood my post?
