Heading to TH8need to power barch to get the last few upgrades before it finishes... 8 days of build time though so should be sweet
I was almost done with th8, but didn't realize there were 3 upgrades for my teslas. That's another three weeks for me.

Not actually a fan of how this company updates the game. I feel like it is all endgame content, while only a tiny fraction of the playerbase is high enough to actually play the new stuff.
Game should expand at sub 9/10 more. New features and shit would be nice.

Christmas Update!!!

Christmas trees on your base grow presents (5000 elixir each)
You can now watch live when someone is attacking your base when you go to log into the game.

So I guess the leak was real then. Have they stated whether they're scrapping elixir upgrades for walls lower than level 8? That part of the leak sounded stupid.
They got to appeal the costumers that spend the most.
I'm pretty addicted to this game but I am absolutely AWFUL at attacking. My troops never ever do what I want them to do. I watch videos of people attacking and explaining there strategies and then when I try to copy it my troops just go all over and get demolished in a heart beat. Only attacks that ever work are farming attacks with all barbarians and archers on bases that have full collectors on the outside and that doesn't take any skill... Anyone have any tips? I feel like I'm missing something but I'm pretty sure I just suck

The change back to wall upgrade is bullshit I didn't even get chance to take advantage of it.

Crap, if they're getting rid of the elixir wall upgrades then I gotta do some serious raiding today. I've nearly maxed all my walls and having the option to use elixir has been a huge help!

Shit, I only have about 25% purple at my th7 and was waiting to make a finishing push when the th was upgrading, targeting the start of that for late next week.

This game is all about understanding unit UI and even then you have time pressures which causes you to mess up easy. An example is if a unit's preference is to attack something closest, it will go there no matter what. It doesn't matter how many cannons are shooting at it. The general strategy is to clear out surrounding structures and once you have a clear path to your opponent's wall, only then the majority of the units will go there. Takes practice, but once you get the gist of it, the game becomes quite fun.
I think I may be done with the game. I'm investing a ton of time as it is now and this just makes walls just agonizing to upgrade. I have better things to do with my time.
Yeah I guess I gotta just keep practicing.
I'm bummed about the wall update too. Just maxed all my defenses at th7 so I guess I'm just gonna farm and work on walls til the update now
If no elixir for walls is true, that's hella lame.
Once you've researched everything that takes elixir, the resource becomes pointless until next th. It was a good change. Reverting it is "literally a slap in the face" to millions of players.
I have maybe 15 skulls with the rest purple. 500k is something I burn for walls every couple of days. I'm still a year+ from being close to maxing th10.
Ask this skies is make farming elixir easier for lesser th levels. Equal level of progression players well just be trading garbage.
Edit: I went and read the actual update from Supercell.
I need to stop reacting to second hand forum rage.
I like all of the changes.

Is it known when this update will go live?
Early next week. It's really upsetting that Supercell greed is showing and they still won't allow you to use your heroes for war while they're upgrading. Next to impossible to be competitive in war if your heroes are out for 7 days after level 15+

The change to elixir only able to upgrade lvl 9+ walls is lame. Glad I made the most out of it while I could!
However, I am super excited about getting a DE Drill at TH7! So overall I am OK with this update.

Between that and the spell factory upgrades killing your spells, not sure which is worse, probably the king since there are so many friggin levels to climb. Or be a schmuck that buys gems for it. No idea other than greed why the king/queen upgrades are treated differently than he lab upgrades for units.

Update is live, I eeked out another 6 purple walls but not sure how I will keep my builders busy tonight, I have 3 coming on line and the lab and a war starting, lot to do with no real elixir buffer. At work now so can't check again, do not like the graphical change to the unit rankings, I liked the stars but I guess they are getting to be too many.

When searching for clans, pay attention to donation numbers. Don't join a clan that has poor donations. You need everyone to be active.
When you join a clan, donate your ass off to show that you are a team player. If the clan doesn't seam very active then leave and find another.

Sucks that Supercell listened to all the idiots who spent money on gems by removing the option to upgrade up to skull with elixir. Overall, I really like the update.
Yeah, I liked the stars better. They should make the number be inside a yellow or pink star instead of a grey block.
There are a lot of achievements that award a good number of gems. Mostly, it's going to take time. I've been playing the game for a long time. I did drop $20 for the fifth builder, but I'll never need to again. I'm getting a good stream from clearing trees/etc. and getting big achievements Every other week. Just got a 200 gem one from Clan War stars the other day.
It really hasn't felt like a grind and I can play pretty casually. I just got a bunch of new things to build at TH8 so I get to delay 9/10 a bit longer and enjoy my max base.
Don't waste gems on resources directly. Get your builders with them and then use them to boost production of barracks to raid enough to get your builders working again. I just play in spurts.

Yeah I've never felt the need to buy gems. I think Supercell has done a very fair job with their F2P model. All you need is patience and you can achieve almost anything you want. Are you gonna be at the top of the Champion league? No, of course not. That's really only for super dedicated white whales. But you can still be very successful without paying a dime. I saved up the gems (from achievements, gem boxes, and removing obstacles) to have 3 builders by TH6. I'm late TH7 now and I have 774 gems saved up again. I'm debating saving up 1,000 for a 4th builder or just spending them to buy Barbarian King. But this new update means I get a DE Drill now, so maybe that isn't necessary.

UPdate came during our war prep day. The number 1 on the other clan already had level 7 giants and 14 level 12 collectors. They lost by 20+ stars. Good job gemming for nothing.

Ugh. This again.
If you want to take a break I am fine with that. However, deciding on no wars then not telling all the people who can start them seems...... Silly.
If you decide the clan is off for a while post it here, or send in game mail.
This is the second time this has happened....

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed in that choice. Glad I maxed my purple walls in TH7 before the update happened. Sadly, it's going to take a long time to upgrade them at TH8. TH7 is so easy to get resources and feel like TH8 is going to be a slog for a while.
With the later, I'm even sadder that now I'm TH8 just recently. At least I have two drills. Maxed one already and just building the other now.
Also glad about the mine and collecter upgrades.
I thought about sending a mail and I didn't oh well. Ocho was the one initiating the wars but he left and I picked up the tab last week and I held off this week because of the chat. This game isn't life or death. Even if we lose we still get bonus resources so there really sin't that much of a downside to starting a war.

Thanks, i'm not very active. Don't expect a lot of donations from me, but I can help out in war. And I'm sure no one will attack me.
If my lack of donations is not cool then no worries, I will head out.
Was initially sad about the elixir wall upgrade thing, but I was most of the way to upgrading all my walls to skulls anyway. Still, the extra demands on my gold got me questioning whether I wanted to keep grinding and whether now was a good time to bow out of the game.
I totally missed that collectors now have another level though and am happily spending my built up elixir upgrading all my gold mines which in turn will make stockpiling gold easier. You have me for another few months Supercell.
