Supercell really need to make the resources in the Golbin Quests regenerate over time just like pretty much everything else in the game.

 

[Wafflecakes]

The goblin quests are such a fucking waste of time though... the resources they provide rarely even cover troop costs to clear the levels.

In the early levels I agree but I just did the 2nd to last one which gave me 700k of each resource

And there are quite a few of them that give 100 and 200 and 300 and 400 and 500k each also the final one gives 800k each

 

[Wafflecakes]

Hrm. Maybe I gave up too soon.

I stopped running them in TH5.

I just ignored them until th7. You can beat the last one then.

 

[Ocho]

Well, I'm hooked. I'm sitting on 600 trophies so far.I'm interested in clan wars but I'm only th3. Game is pretty fun and addictive.

They're cool at the beginnen when 1 or 2k resources are a lot to you.
Then they start sucking for quite some time and at the end they get cool again.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Just a reminder to join the Neogaf clan if you need a clan!

There are two, but ignore the one with only three members.

http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/379980-Sneak-Peeks!!!-D

The fallout so far (from the biggest nerds in the world):

Makes me think of a socialist system where everyone should get the same eventhought some work and other don't. Disgusting.

Couldnt agree more, this does nothing but throw a pie in the face of anyone thats worked hard to get ahead of the pack with walls. What a terrible update.

I wasted 900 million elixir as th9, ALL WENT TO WASTE! now, you guys do some sc magic, and I could have had all lvl 11 walls!!! Why would they do this to me!

This honestly makes me so mad. I and many others farmed lvl 9/10/11 walls or even gemmed them. This was a ruled out idea at one point (correct me if im wrong). Its a slap to the face from sc saying we did more then we needed. Just like the hero update. This makes me mad hopefully the rest of the sneak peaks arent like this.

supercell team We spend millions of gold to upgrade the walls left the elixir storage full and waste a lot of time on upgrade it leaving our defiance without upgrade , and now all that gold and time gone and the new player can upgrade there towns very fast and beat me ! that's not fair

I may actually quit the game should this really happen. I have wasted too many gems and too much time on this only to be penalised for working hard. I don't see why people complain about the walls, most people I attack are only at most full skulls, and that's pretty easy to get. The fact that it takes effort to actually attain good walls is something that makes the game fun. Now when people say I'm full legos, it'll be like.. well, you did it in half the effort of those who did their legos before the upgrade did. Where's the fun in that? Furthermore, I notice that people who do not play the game much are the ones who have problems upgrading their walls, is it okay to reward them while penalising us who put in effort in the game?

And my favorite so far:

You can't be serious. In fact I don't think that a single person not employed by sc can be in favor of this lunacy. After everyone spends all their elixir on walls, where do you intend to get elixir from? This means that there will be between 50-100k in Storages plus what's in pumps. So you'll have to 3 star somebody to get around 150k elixir. Using barch and 1 spell??? I don't think so. Using gowipe??? Not if you want a profit. I can't believe all these positive comments on this page. You DO realize that now when you upgrade to TH10 you'll have to gem every single elixir based upgrade right? It says you're TH9 in your info.Every time you start saving you're going to get demolished by ppl happy to see over 150k available. And you're NOT going to 3 star with tier 1 troops, so it'll take days and days to save up for max pekka and max wizards and so on. You'll most likely give up and gem. Which is what sc is counting on. This is the most blatant cash grab I've seen in my life. And I view all these positive comments as insanity, or you're all corporate shills. Please tell me where you're coming from on this, and how not being able to keep surpluses of elixir in game (which is how you were able to win enough for max giants right?) is a good thing.


Mark my words

If this is allowed to happen ALL THE SURPLUS ELIXIR WILL VANISH OVERNIGHT. Then what? How do we win elixir to max out troops with? How do we even win enough elixir to sustain the ability to attack, since you'll have to get every storage basically 3 starring every attack in order to win about 150k elixir. You can't 3 star with tier 1 troops, so you'll have maybe 20k profit per attack using giant/healer and no spells. And if it goes badly, and you miss even 1 storage or pump, you'll lose elixir on that raid. Even if it goes flawlessly it'll take 4,000 attacks to win enough elixir for max pekka. C'mon let's be real here... Who's really got the patience for that? Plus the closer you get, the harder you'll be hit since you're the only poor dumb bástárd who has elixir, and half the community will be gunning for you. It'll be next to impossible not to gem, mark my words, you'll all give up and gem. Or you'll quit playing, and that's not right either since this game is "Free to Play". This update is sc's way of saying "$21,000,000 a week isn't good enough. I've got a huge coke habit, gimme more." I propose that if this greed fest is allowed to happen, that we do a 90 day boycott of sc to remind them that we are the ones they answer to. I've bought an insane amount of gems. Enough to pay for 25 ppl's game play. But I did it of my own free will, and this is going to make people that really love the game have no choice but to gem or stop progressing. That disgusts me sc... Shame on you!

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Im just TH7, I don't know what this means for TH10 people.
For me its good because I have way to much elixir most of the time anyways.

 

[Kouriozan]

Upgrading walls with elixirs is neat, I'm in late TH 7 and only a few gold walls.
Yeah, I know you can start upgrading with elixirs after gold.

 

[Victory Red]

BOOOM.

BARCHing on steroids. But how they going to fit a 7th star on their icon?

I'm wondering that myself. Maybe a second row?

 

[red13th]

That's great, I'm finding it a chore to upgrade my walls already and I'm TH 6!

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Hahaha @ all those pissed off people. This is great news for me, in any case. I'm getting close to finishing all my elixir upgrades so at least I'll have something new to spend it on now.

 

[Victory Red]

When I was in Town Hall 9 (~3 months) I can honestly say I sat on full elixir about 75% of the time cause I had nothing to spend it on.

I would of had fucking full legos.

Whatever, they are going to have to give Wall Breakers a boost because everyone is going to have maxed walls in their respective Town Halls. And when you get into Level 9 walls (legos) it is virtually impossible for troops to break through them without wall breakers. They will sit there all day.

 

[Nuklear]

I don't get their bitching. It's a lot easier to farm for gold than elixir at least from what I've seen but I'm only TH6. I wouldn't waste my elixir on walls.

 

[Victory Red]

In TH6 elixir is still useful.

I remember making excel spreadsheets comparing army compositions to make sure I was training the cheapest army and getting the biggest bang for my buck.

You'll soon find that when you get better troops and start climbing in trophies... the money will flow like wine. When you are averaging >300K in resources per raid, you will find yourself with not enough things to spend elixir on.

 

[generaldane]

I really wish they would add regenerating goblin quest as one of the updates as well as reduced troop build time for well everything

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Upgrading to th 10.

Elixir to build walls is a great idea. It´s easier to collect elixir than gold.

That's exactly what I was talking about. How the hell did you not know that? Do you gem everything?

No, i don´t gem anything.

BOOOM.

gimme gimme gimme

Great, now more dark troops and higher level witch thanks.

 

[JesseZao]

Upgrading to th 10.

Right now it is, but that'll change once people can dump the excess elixir into walls. I like the change regardless.

 

[Mario]

Elixir for walls suits me. I'm on TH9 and have upgraded almost everything that requires elixir I can to max before needing to switch up to TH10 - just upgrading my last Army Camp now as it happens. So, I would otherwise have be having a massive oversupply of elixir. Not to mention all my walls are already at least level 7 and almost half level 8, so it feels painful to be spending gold on them when I'd rather be putting it into upgrading defensive weapons further.

The best part of this is they are giving you the option to use either.

 

[Booties]

Apparently there may also be an additional one or two levels added to collectors and mines. This could solve a lot of problems for higher level players.

 

[Victory Red]

NEW TROOP.

And Hero regen. times significantly reduced.

 

[Booties]

Nice. Seems like another good flying unit was needed at TH10.

Any recommendations on how to build the perfect base?

Any recommendations on how to build the perfect base?

I would check youtube or online in general..but there's no such thing as a perfect base especially early on..eventually it will reach a point where is near impossible to be 3 starred though.

I want the next update to give me level 3 witch upgrade

Today's sneak peak. Dark Dragon?

e; wow it's pretty dumb we can't resize things to thumbnails without quoting. Pretty sure that's an easy bb code update. Thanks Obama evilore.

Yup. On other forums is it just [imgzoom=x] [imgzoom]


I guess they just want to encourage us to re-size our images to reduce loading times...

On Something Awful we just use 'timg' instead of 'img'. It's very simple. GAF is a pretty bad forum though so I'm not surprised.

Hmmm I wonder if this will feel OP. I like the flying bulldog look though. Hope he barfs/poops lava.

So far the troop looks pretty Meh.

Its not strong enough to get to an Air Defense and actually take it out, it just sits over it while you can bring another troop in behind it.

The dragons are too slow to take any advantage of that.

So the only thing I can see this troop being good for right now.... is for Balloonians. Sending in two Lava Hounds will allow the balloons to penetrate deeper into the base. But still not all the way through.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I don't get some people.
Why would you attack with an army comp. thats more expensive than the loot you can get?
If you three star a base and get 100k gold and elixir and 100 dark elixir, its not worth using 10 dragons and 3 lighting spells.

2 reasons:
1) they want trophies
2) they are bad at math

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

1200-1300 trophy range.
You can get 30 trophys in that range in 5 mins with just archers and barbarians. No need to use dragons.
In that range there is no use for more expensive troops except in wars.
Want trophies? Barch.
Want loot? Barch.


Another one attacked me today with 30 hogriders, he three stared me and got 120k gold, 80k elixir and 150 dark elixir.
30 hogs cost 1,2k dark elixir...

This is all true. They are probably just bad at math.

However, there is a third option that I am forgetting. They are practicing for war. Only way to know optimal troop combinations and how best to deploy them is to test it out in an actual raid.

 

[JesseZao]

I blow 10 dragons on getting 1k-2k dark elixir and don't bat an eye. Usually I'll get 200k elixir back, but dark is hard to come by at th7 and I need lvl 5 king!

 

[Wafflecakes]

Ugh.... I need to start farming for king.

 

[Booties]

Yeah I did this too. I got a surprising amount by barching too. Gotta be suuuuper patient and wait for that base with 2k+ available and hit it with lightning. I was boosting my spell factory for a couple days and got the 37.5k DE for Barb King 4 and 5 with ease.

That rage spell is sooooo gooooood.

 

[Booties]

BOOST YOUR COLLECTORS FOR 1 GEM TODAY FOR 24 HOURS!

 

[Skittles]

Haha! I knew there would be a collector boost soon. Almost spent some gems to do it earlier

It could be that they are practicing for war..as I tend to demolish random people when practicing new war attack strategies.

Most likely. I used dragons to get the gold III because why not, purple is easy to come by.

 

[generaldane]

Looks like despite being outmatch we may very well win this war

 

[Wafflecakes]

Lol yeah. Wars are pretty easy most of the time... it comes down more to how many people you have active than skill or level.
