So have they nerfed Resources?

[Chris Coley]

It seems like the last few plays I've done I've barely attained any resources from my raids. Destroying the Storage House gives me nothing and I'm only getting +1 of one or two resources when it seems like I was getting more before? Also, seems wine and metal is lower from my trees and mines. Am I imagining this or did I miss a post already made on this?

We are both imagining it.

Had to use two TB's just to get 800k of food yesterday. The 1600-2000 medal range (I'm up to 2020 so far) is just a complete wasteland of empty abandoned bases. A few weeks ago they would be full, 300-400k of goodies, now 40-50k if you're lucky. And storehouses are empty. Maybe the combination of raiders and closeapp, they are being stripped bare.

Combine that with only 1 medal, it's a slow tedious process.

Yep, closeapps are destroying game economy. Nowadays you find more gold in caravan bags than in markets. And it will happen even more if they nerf it without closeapp fix, caz players will suffer more on resources.

Couple conceptual mistakes here

U said close app is destroying economy..and if they fix it it will destroy the economy even more. These two things cant both be true

U said close app is destroying the economy that u find more gold in bags. Close app ruins caravan bags just as much as gold storage if not more since gold storage tends to be hidden behind walls and caravan bags are more exposed. But caravan bags self refill and gold storage doesnt.....

What ur seeing is not a destruction of the economy just the nature of these games. Active players tend to either raid at very low or very high medal range depending in situation.

Middle medal range of lets say 1400-2000 is gonna be people who tried to climb, gave up and QUIT. Or people who reached the top medal ranges like 2800 and QUIT or got banned.

The key being these bases are abandoned. These abandoned bases are slowly being bled dry of medals and gold storage. Until all thats left is self refilling caravan bags and 200 medals. Which is great for low medal players because they can farm caravan bags worth 60k and be excited about it.

Well, let me tell you, I haven't experienced that, at least not yet. I can still get between 250-300k in resources, per raid. Storehouses are a completely different story, maybe just one or two per day are just worth it, probably people are spending more goods to hire mercenaries all the time. What really sucks is the time you spend when "no opponents can be found". That's driving me crazy

I don't think the flotsam will go down to 200, players at <800 don't care about medals and just raid, so these heavily defended max bases will bob up and down as they gain 39 medals for a 'win'.

The State of the Nation post says 30,000 were banned - were their bases deleted or are they floating around? Getting from 1600 up to 2000 I feel I've seen most of them!

We'll have to watch Tickling's base and see where it goes, or Booquia's if anyone knows where it is now.

 

[Redgar]

You probably misunderstood me. Now people mostly closeapp on failed attacks to save medals, rarely for resources (some total jerks) if there is a loot slow down and closeapp isn't fixed, more players will do that just to get resources, so more closeapps.

Economy is going bad when max IA bases are poor... If you attack a max iA base with full army, you kinda want to take 700k gold more often and after wide closeapp spreading it is already very rare.

All three of us are suffering from a mass hallucination. I've noticed fur and metal have become much more difficult to get, even with the 20% library bonus. I'm usually maxed out on leather, but have only 2-3 fur.
