Star Bonus, Treasury, Loot Cart and more!

You know this update is made by the same people that made the previous one😂

I like the way you think!

They have increased the output of collectors many, many times before. It has never effected the economy in any way, in my opinion. They would have to produce 10x more to support a TH10, and even then what's to say you won't get hit and that loot will be gone? The only way in my opinion is to increase the league bonus and increase the ability to store resources so that more active players can't wreck inactive ones for 300 300. The only thing collector buffs will do is make the game easier for everyone.

I have played the the game for 3 years and I have never recalled an update where the collector yield was adjusted at the same level. If there is then my mistake. But it's wrong to assume u need 10x more cuz that's your own opinion. The one gem boost is working precisely because people are able to save more than they lose in a day with protection, and not for people who expects free resources to upgrade everything in an instance.

Dear ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,

We need fun, something we can call easy money.
A choice between pushing and farming.

Unless you have that in mind, this aint it.

I agree that the 1 gem boost is working well since they changed the mechanics of the game, because I can drop a few archers on boosted pumps and make a fortune. I hope they keep it up .

What a great way to fix the economy they broke.

Lower leagues: OK, let's see.
Upper leagues: NOK.

There was enough loot in the old new update, that was never the issue. The problem in higher leagues is gameplay which has become too slow (full troops for every raid) and now spread out throughout the day (gradual shield system).
In the interest of clan life, we need a new incentive for people to stick around for at least half an hour or so, watching troops build = watching paint dry.

How does it address the loot issue? By making loot harder to steal from a 'vault' inside the CC?

No. By two things:
1. increasing the total amount of loot injected into the game by the star bonus and the loot cart.
2. making it so you retain a bit more of what you have (but without reducing the available loot to raid).

Edit: Shield stuff is a massive issue. I'd love to see a screenshot of your base and I'll show you how easy it is to hit one or two storages without giving you 30% for a shield. I can also tell you how easy it is to take nearly any DE tank (no matter how well protected) for about 12% damage to your base and if I get the TH as well, then what a bonus for me.

Shield stuff might be a massive issue if everybody had your mindset.

But they don't, and for most of us, shield stuff really isn't an issue.

Most attackers in my experience (TH9 and TH8 in masters/crystal leagues since update and for some time before - plus a TH7 in gold) try to get as much as they can without any attempt to minimise damage. The bigger % damage they do, the better their loot bonus, and most people are more concerned about what they get than about whether their opponent gets a shield or not.

In lower leagues, where loot bonus is insignificant, that may be different - though clanmates who have dropped to lower leagues aren't reporting a lot of 20-something% raids on them either.

I am pretty active, with 3 accounts on two devices, and am connected at odd times during the day, then most evenings for most of the time between about 6pm and 1am, but I have only once hit the PBT since the update. I had hit the previous 6 hour limit 2-3 times in the last year.

Also lets add this. It's obvious the last patch has badly hurt the number of active CoC players and most likely Supercell's income. They have expanded the 1 gem boosting several times now in and effort to get players to buy even $5 worth. Now they have come up with a new idea to try and encourge players to keep playing and stop them from quitting as the game becomes discouraging at higher leagues.

Indeed. They clearly didn't predict how players would act after the last update, with hordes of high level players dropping to very low leagues.

Hopefully, they will make the numbers in this update sufficient to give a decent incentive for those players to move back up.

Again, Supercell, why dont you tell the Japanese bank that owns 51% of your shares that you know best how to manage your game.

I would imagine the Japanees Telecoms and internet company (they aren't a bank, in spite of "bank" being part of the name) that owns 73% of their shares knows that very well.

I doubt very much if there was any input from Softbank at all as to the content of any of the recent updates. Group companies at that level just don't generally interfere at that sort of level in the operational running of the subsidiaries.

You have asked me a question without actually addressing anything...well played!

So you have no answer to my question

I have addressed how I believe the update will fix many things in my other posts in the last hour or two.

Please tie the star bonus to the league. It would make sense that 5 stars in Champs is worth a hell of a lot more than 5 stars in Silver right?

I'm resisting the urge to say "too little, too late!" I do however think that the message finally managed to crack its way through to SC. Let's just wait and see...
