Star Bonus, Treasury, Loot Cart and more!

[popegonzo]

The star bonus thing is a fine idea for people who are able to attack enough to get more than 2 attacks in every day (ie people other than me and most people I play with). Anything to infuse more loot into the game considering the ease of taking.

The loot cart idea is unnecessarily complex. So... you get raided, and you lose loot, but you can re-collect some of the loot you've lost into your clan castle, that you can then collect again if you want to use it?

Ever since the dumpster fire update, I've always thought the simplest and most elegant solution was to make the town hall able to hold loot but go back to the old shield/snipe system. Even if you increased the loot held in the TH, if people want the cheap shield (shoot, make a sub-30% one-star shield only last 10h or 8h or something), there would be some loss to it. It probably wouldn't take too much effort to tweak the numbers to the point that constant 8h TH snipes would leave you with losing a similar amount to losing everything every 16h or most of your available loot every 12h.

I would greatly prefer the consistent expectations of 8h TH snipes, knowing how much loot I'd be losing, than the expectation that I'm losing 5-6k de a day with the stray hope that one of those attacks fails (but doesn't fail so hard I don't get a shield!).

Honestly I don't like nor do Ihate the update... But thanks to this forums will get quieter ( I hope)

Sure all that sounds great, but DO NOT pull dead bases out of matchmaking again! It's working great as it is right now, don't change it!!! This game will not survive on gems, you need a constant flow of lootable bases to pump resources into the economy.

I know... But waiting for troops is super boring... And I saw myself slowly stopping playing, dropped to lower leagues but the fun is gone really. And btw i never relied purely on dead bases, nice when they come but I'm not the one hitting next only to find one. I like to use smaller troops, or the max i use is balloon and minions, i used to boost them to have session of 2 hours playing once in a while. That is clearly impossible with the base defenses i encounter in a higher league as a th11... I need a war army there... And in all honesty i doubt elexir wise it is that profitable in compare to farming strategies of before...
Mainly it's about fun really... And this is not fun for many people. I want to chose what I want to do and that us having little raiding sessions, chatting why troops cook and so on.... That is totally gone...

Yeh don't worry I didn't think you soley relyed on dead bases

I got to, and sitting happily in Titan 1 without a war army - it's not too bad. GW to 12 already and enough elix saved to go straight to 13

CoC for me was never the game to spend lots of time on...it originates in a time of mobile games where playing a little every now and then was the intention

Shame I can't see a solution for you

This update seems unnecessarily complicated instead of just the small adjustments needed. They've made it clear that trophy pushing is the way the game is intended to be played, so the easy solution to the loot shortage would be to increase the league bonuses higher up. That would be a simple coding change. I feel like they intentionally ignore the suggestions put forth by players and want to make the game more complicated.

Or maybe I'm just pessimistic of "game changing updates."

I love the ideas behind all the proposed changes except loot cart.

"Last but not least, we’ll introduce the Loot Cart. After your village has been attacked, a percentage of the stolen resources will be added to a Loot Cart in your Village. Once you collect the resources from the Loot Cart, these will be transferred to your Treasury for safeguarding."

The way it is described you are going to be get more resources the worse you defend. The more you have stolen, the more you get back? I think it rewards poor game play. The loot should be based on how well you defend.

Also how do they propose this work? Do magic Goblin fairies create the loot for you?

[mydanes]

I am anxious to see this implemented. Reward for being attacked is a wonderful idea also. Nice work sc

Wait. I hope this 5-star thing doesn't replace the 3 star system. Cuz if so that means I'll get barely anymore defense wins. It'll be too easy to get stars. And this loot vault thing. I appreciate that it'll help me keep more resources, but that probably means I won't be able to grab as much either. Imo I don't really want this treasury thing right now. Maybe I'm looking at the treasury differently than everyone else. I just wish people could stop crying about not being able to hoard loot. Like come on, you r gonna get raided. I'll still play the game and enjoy it. I'm just not sure how I'll feel about this next update

You clearly didn't understand the post correctly, if at all. The 5-star system won't be replacing the current 3-star system we have at all. Rather, it will just give you a loot bonus after you have scored 5 stars in various attacks daily, as in 5 1-star attacks or a 2-star and a 3-star attack, etc.

Furthermore, where did you read that the loot vault would mean that you are able to steal less resources? The entire point of this system is to help players save loot, not steal less, otherwise the entire thing would just be a waste of time.

Honestly, if people just spent a minute thinking before posting a rant on the forums without having half of the facts or using a smidgen of logic. SuperCell hasn't given us anything but a vague outline of the planned changes yet. Something, that I might add, is intended to IMPROVE the loot issues, not worsen them as you seem to automatically assume. I wouldn't be so quick to accuse others of crying, when you're doing the same thing, only with much less reason.

[MiniMustachee]

They wouldn't do this simply because if the league bonus are significantly larger than war bonuses then people wouldn't war. Making that function obsolete.

[popegonzo]

Don't think of it as rewarding failure; think of it as an unnecessarily complex way of losing less loot.
