Star Bonus, Treasury, Loot Cart and more!

I haven't attacked out of war in 8 days now. Useless.

I guess this is what Clash has been reduced to. I noticed a shift in the forums. It's like the IQ of the forums dropped 20 points in the last few days. I guess I understand who this game caters to now.

I wrote "enjoyed" - past tense. This was before that insane update.

Good idea Supercell, my faith in you is restored.

I don't get how people are saying this looks promising holding resources isn't the problem it's finding good bases to raid loot is terrible now people are gonna have loot u can't raid ridiculous

The two problems are related. No one wants to hold resources if they know they're gonna be flattened, and people figured out that they couldn't advance past a soft cap that's dictated by their low collector/mine/drill output and their loss ratio at whatever TH they are at. This is what I've been calling the receding horizons problem. People faced with this will just hide or burn resources and are frustrated that they can't advance. This fix would allow them to advance, though perhaps a bit more slowly, therefore they would be more willing to hold resources which would then be visible to attackers. People stating that weaker players should just lose their resources and don't deserve to advance if their defense loses aren't seeing the big picture. This isn't sports where players of different skill levels and age levels are separated into leagues, everyone is playing against everyone else so if you have a system where only the strongest will get anything, then most people won't want to play.

I prefer the old way of "getting" loot, not a new way of "protecting" loot...

Right on the money. It will never be the same. The messed with it. Now all this extra ♥♥♥♥. Simplify it a bit. Put more loot out there to grab so it's possible to advance. I don't think they quite get it and they need to fail at this game to learn the lesson. I can't seem to get loot in the first place so looks like this loot cart will be empty either way. Since I can't find loot no one attacks me so again I won't benefit from another update.

Well, if they revert the shield system, then we can no longer attack through shields. That means the shield pops every attack, so unless you have the time to sit there and babysit your village until your troops build, you're only getting one attack for every defense. This means, as a casual player, you pretty much have no choice but to put your TH outside and pray for a quick shield in order to have any hope of advancement (and even then, as a TH8 you're as likely to get steamrolled anyway). If they revert the changes, we'll be right back to only two attacks a day, to which I say, "No, thank you!" XP

We'll you took out of context. I like the new shield system. Don't get me wrong, but what the other guys was saying was completely misplaced and ill-represented
Also like i said above, the new shield system is giving problems to the higher cup guys with not being able to find anyone to attack because everyone is behind a shield anyways.
Also just because you didnt break your shield to attack more times a day doesn't mean everyone else didnt. I had upwards of 2000 attacks per season preupdate. Im at 25 or so now. 90% decrease in activity from me

Honestly people that say they are raiding in 3400+ champs with a giant army and are going up and farming against good quality TH10/11 base's are either gods or complete liars. I NEVER have been 50% or more by a giant army using full spells/cc/heroes. Now if there is loot in crystal vs premature th10's / 11's then I can see that. I was in Crystal1 when the update came out there was a comical lack of loot. If there are a few of you who say thats changed then ill gladly drop cups and give it a shot.

I attacked through shields all the time because there was about an 80% chance I would get sniped after doing so. If I was holding a lot of loot and/or major defenses upgrading, then maybe a 60% chance I would get sniped. Odds were still in my favor most of the time so breaking a shield was no issue.

Now, to fix their fix, they have decided to reward defenders for losing resources. This is just bizarre.

Based on psychological findings by casino kings around the world. Because it works.

Supercell, This is all we get??
I'am very disappointed.

We neet more loot and faster training times.

The star bonus and the cart injects loot into the economy, this results into more loot in the game... The cart means that attacker earns as much as always while the defender loses less, this reeults into more loot entering the economy.
