We've all realized one fact after the update. There is no loot. My theory argues the simple fact that Supercell is willingly pulling off dead bases from multiplayer fields. Why? Harder the bases, more expensive the farming army. (Duh!) It makes sense though. In a previous update, dead bases being harder to find was actually a part of the changelog. In this update, supercell focused on better attackers, so it makes sense they'd want us to learn to attack better. While I completely agree that a mass number of players need to brush up on attacking skills (I'm looking at you spamlooners and sucky th9 gowi'ers) to make the game better for everyone (as CoC is definitely a strategy-based game that I so love), I don't agree with how they have planned this out. Instead, put in 1v1's with minimal costs, put in hour-based tournaments, add in new troops!
That's my case. Here's my proof. Screenshot_2015-12-29-09-07-00.jpg
This was my mini base. (Layout included) I have been busy for the last 5 days, so I didn't have time to change the layout, nor to collect from my mines. I was expecting loss after loss on defense (I'm a th5 so all th3's to th7's should find my base juicy enough to spend a barbarian on. I calculated.) Here's what I logged in to.
Yep, that's the complete log. Scary right? Perhaps, there is no loot because (unlike what supercell said), they aren't happy with collector raids.
Yes, I know what you're going to say. Learn to farm. Shut up or quit. #yousuckatattacking.
Not really, though. I am a research guy. I know every troop's stat and every level visuals. I know that a lvl 40 queen has almost the same health as a lvl 1 king. I've farmed everything up to a decent th10, including lego walls (currently working on lava walls). With a gold grab of around 600m, I haven't used a single gem to get up this high within a year.
So, if you're gonna one-sentence criticize. Don't comment. It is neither constructive nor does it help your image. If you have a good case to make, I'm willing to listen.
P.S.: Good job on the balancing it out. It's really fun to 3* th10s in war these days (which was virtually impossible pre-update). I'm gonna love seeing what strategies people come up with!
