Disgusted disgusted disgusted...Attacked 10 times last night for 700,000 gold lost

What's the point of good defenses when holding an attacker to less than 30% damage still allows them to loot your base time and time again while you sleep? This game is now so unbalanced and unfair that no one will want to play it much longer. Super Cell has killed the goose laying the golden eggs by pandering to the rich players with unlimited gems to spend and making it impossible for the everyday player to accumulate loot to advance. Winning matches is meaningless. What's the point. While you can, drop the 12 hour shield requirement to 20 percent. PLEASE!! That will help this situation a LOT!!

Make a base that will give u a shield while protecting your loot.Stop crying and adapt.

Please master can you give me the benefit of your superior knowledge and explain which base design will protect th8 against th9 Max troops and heroes?

No really? That was the goal of base with TH outside...
NOTHING can stop trophy dropper to take one storage and end battle... Maybe a big vault base with all storages at the center, so that you will loose all of it for a shield?
Whatever, I experencied centered TH destroyed but 28% no shield, what a joke.

Nothing really will, but then again no TH9 base can stop a 10 and no 7 can stop an 8!

In all of those cases though, unless you are being 29% trolled consistently (I concede there is an exceedingly small portion of the community that does this) then you are going to get at least a 12 hour shield, if not a 14 or 16 hour one, and they will only take a maximum of 300k (x loot penalty) from your storages + TH.

The update would rebalance the game while nobody was having a problem.
I don't get it why SC isn't responding.

Same problem over here. Didn't attack, only went on a couple of times between 4 and 11pm hoping that someone gave me a shield. Didn't get one, then in first half of night, got hit three times for 350k gold and 450k elixir lost along with 3k de. Then in second half my boosted collectors had started to fill a little, got collector raided about 10 times, about 350k or so more lost of each and another 3.8k de. Haven't yet regained that money today, absolutely ridiculous.

It's pretty simple, you have to climb leagues

I know (or im pretty certain) you will likely say you don't want to, why should you have to etc etc....but I'm sure you want to finally get a shield when defending and not lose 700k over night

Figure out which one you 'don't want' to do more and make your choice from there

*edit* keep in mind btw that your loss is someone else's gain...and I imagine those players wernt the rich ones you talk about in your OP. You just don't see the other 10 attackers posting threads of - wow, check out this easy loot I got for a cheap army

[Shining0]

as a max TH10 i dont see where the problem is?

Oops,look like i crush your base with 29% accidently...

[GrandCthulhu]

Some people aren't even trolling... If you have good defenses and a th with same level than your attacks there's a chance he will 'fail' under 30%, eventually taking your th in the process, but without giving you a shield.
It's a very serious flaw in the new version of the game.
Pre-update I attacked many bases but 98% of my attacks gave a shield.
