Now that the new update is out, what league is everyone planning on staying in?

I'm at th9, and the loot bonuses now in Masters is crappy now that it's based on base destruction percentage.
 
I'll be heading back down until thing get easy enough for me to start 3-starring bases. That seems to be how the bonuses work now.
 
Yeah I'm in Masters thinking about going down too. But I'm trying to get my heroes to 20/20 first. Still getting good DE
 
It looks like there' said big disadvantage now to keeping your TH outside the walls, so I switched back to my trophy base. And, it doesn't take much to get a good percentage of the bonus. I destroyed 64% of a base and got 96% of the bonus. The bonus seems higher now too.
 
The bonus in masters isn't much at all. Like 20 or 40de. But unless you get ~70% you will only get 88% of the bonus. I went from being able to steadily (slowly) climb in DE to actually losing on a daily basis. No longer can i raid a few times a day and gain. I'll have to drop down to gold or something and hope for collector bases.

I'm not liking this new update. Unless i put in tons of time farming, i won't be able to get the 125k DE required for AQ25
 
Yeah, since the update, I have become significantly less interested in the game. I'll likely bail entirely in the coming weeks.
 
The update is working for me so far. I'm hardly getting raided at all and I usually never have a shield. I don't barch, though. Most raids are giwipe and it's still working out.

Probably harder higher up with tougher bases. I'm hovering around gold2-3 and still getting juicy bases. It's also nice to raid and only lose a portion of your shield.
 
This new update sucks!! I never have a shield now... I've moved the TH in and redid the base. With no gold its not too bad, I can't imagine trying to save 7.5-8 mil for an upgrade. I had 4 mil gold when the update hit and I was loosing 150-200k repeatedly without a shield. My base is somewhat decent too. Even with mines boosted I was just breaking even. Prior to he update I think I only got 1 full on raid in the last 6 months!

Need to figure this out, I've gotten where I am with out spending any real money outside of the $10 I spent to get my 3rd builders hut.

If I don't figure it out I'll probably just quit, I've been wanting to but haven't been able to do it. I think this makes it a lot easier. Even if I attack repeatedly its pointless since I can get attached and lose just as often and when you're trying to save 7 million you can't really do that in a session.

I think they've done a good job in making a shield something you need to spend money on.... I like some aspects of what they've done, but the shield deal I think is going to be the end for me.
 
I'm camping out in champ 3 now. Champ 2 seems to be all TH11s and is just horrible. In champ3, I've been able to mostly protect my oil, but my oil production has dropped by a lot. The downside is since I'm in champ3, I'm having to spend more oil on my farming army. Before the update, I would pull in about 100k in a week. Now, since the upgrade, I've save up 10k more. I may drop back down to crystal 3 and see what that's like.

I've set up my base so it's easier to get my TH than my oil storage. You have to put a lot of effort into getting my TH and at that point, most people then don't have the strength left to go the extra distance.

Verdict is still out for me. I do like attacking through the shield. I thought that farming before was just mindless and now you have to put more thought into it and your defenses.

Pretty much, was short lived for me. Moved my TH in now and I'm getting wiped like every time now. Can't save any gold and stuff. Losing like 30 trophies each time too.
 
So, I'm learning that you really have to choose your level properly depending on the strength of your base. I have an almost maxed TH9 base, and it seems to be happiest in Crystal II. In Crystal I, it seemed to be way too easy to do some real damage to my base and loot.

As for farming, I've found that I can still BARCH. The bonuses are not as high because I don't 3 star bases, but I can still pick up quite a bit of loot if I am patient with the choices of bases that I attack. The good part is that in Crystal II, I have more than enough time to build new troops without getting attacked.

And, since so many people are quitting the game after the change, there seem to be a lot more abandoned bases available to attack.
 
I agree with you wannabe. I have to TH9 accounts. One is fully maxed except the lava walls. The other just has a few AT left and still working on lego walls.

The maxed one gets whooped in Masters 2 now and it's not even worth staying anymore. It's a struggle to raid when getting 70% for the full loot bonus is rare.

Now the almost maxed th9 was in Crystal2, and was winning defenses left and right and got pushed into masters 3 off defenses alone.

I just hate having to drop from masters in fear that i won't be able to clear as much DE in crystal like i "was" in masters. But now, i am lucky to break even in DE in masters.

How much DE were you picking up every raid in Masters? I'm still just farming, so I don't use any DE troops or spells. That way, picking up any DE still puts me on the plus side every raid. But, on average, I pick up roughly 1,000 DE every raid in Crystal II. (Not counting the bonus.) And, that is with jjust BARCH troops.
 
I'm picking up 30-50 trophies every time I check in just from people trying to drop trophies. Guess everyone is trying to figure it out still...

In Masters 1, where it is still feasible to get 50% with loonion (35 minions, rest loons) I would tag bases i could get the DE storage for ~1500de and add in the 900DE bonus. 1500 was the min i'd shoot for.

Then i'd get TH sniped almost immediately. No DE lost.

Now, every attack in masters and I lose 2500+ DE. EVERY attack. and sine i'm only getting about 70% of the 920DE bonus, that takes away. Plus, staying in Masters is harder now that i'm getting 2 starred 75% of the time and only getting 1 in return. I theoretically could use an army like gowipe/goho/lavaloon. But then i'm using about 1200 more DE in troops, and not getting that back in bonus.

Considering i have to save 125,000 de for my next AQ upgrade, i may never make it now.
 
Just as i suspected the update was mainly to get people to spend more money buying gems, fucking greedy fucks supercell. And succeed they did. I'm a TH10 in a very high level clan, we're sitting at #287 in the world and not even pushing. 14 of our th10's jumped to th11 right away and most gemmed hundreds of $$ to get the new Eagle to level 2, witches lv3, new hero lv10+, great for our clan cause we're kicking serious ass in war now but I can't imagine spending that much money that quickly. Update and shield system is designed for people to want to raid more but also lose resources more, get pissed and gem that stupid 2 hour guard, buy ridiculous shields when that shit was free when just leaving TH out to let snipe. Wouldn't be all that bad if they didn't prorate the loot bonuses based on % of base destroyed. I'm not sure but if I weren't already a pretty strong TH10 I would probably just give up and fuck the game to hell. I'm kinda fortunate as all my defenses are maxed, just working on last levels of quake and haste spells then my lab is done. I got my AQ30, BK 27, and working on lv10 walls. I would drop to gold except I suspect we may do a push soon and its a pain in the ass to get back up to Champ, staying is easy though. Raiding sucks ass and saving DE is ridiculous cause even if my gold and elixir is low sometimes some asshole sends a strong ass war army just to get 50% and my DE.
 
Just wanted to reach master's so I could get my 1000 gems and get my 5th builder. Probably not possible anymore, for me anyways, without spending real money. Guess I'll wait for 300 or so more plants to cut down lol

It's ridiculously easy to get to Champs now. I made it in three days from Gold without a whole lot of effort. There were a lot of people on their way down, dropping trophies. Three different TH9s in my clan just came up to champs, too, and found similar experiences.

My theory is since there are no more TH snipes, you have a lot of bases available to hit that were shielded before
