Devs banned my clan holder account which I got people to bring tiny alts in, 10 of us big stats, 20 tiny alts to fill the 30 members needed, and we'd go against clans that couldn't even hit us and we would rake in the mith. There was nothing wrong, we were just concentrating our stats into less people. I just got a new clan and done the same the day after lmao.
I agree with Joe, Gamehenge and Giskard. We all started at the same era and joe_ is giving multiple relevant examples of an inconsistency in policy which he hopes will get patched. I disagreed with 24dude and Pollyanna being stripped of wins. The Devs should have closed the loophole and moved on. They allowed KoW to keep all his whale cash from the exploit he found why not allow the others the same option and plug the loophole. Srsly, a build which can't be hit by the mechanics isn't an option they must have thought up. Lets just have it patched and move on. For all I care Refund CG her cash for changing her build. Isn't gonna affect my account any. I just don't want to see invulnerable accounts.
My first hit on haunt isn't even 30 mil. I'd say that's fair trade for build mechs . I'll agree to ban my build if hansels are ban too liao. Fair is fair Castro Joe
op has a point, that nobody seems to have realized yet. EE mechanichs were supposed to not show "DTW" unless troops where 0. Tower Builds doesn't fullfill this premise, and therefore, can be considered to be exploiting some glitch in game mechanichs. Anyway, I don't think this build should be banned or anything. It adds variety to the war strategies a clan can (and must) develop, and that means more fun.
My first hit on haunt is 25m with EE lvl 2. Given I am a Hansel with 3 COE's. Your plunder loss isn't significant enough IMO. I know it must be an incredible feeling to know you cannot be hit whilst hitting in a war. But, again, if everyone did this it would be a snooze fest.
Sigh I was in Joe's war, his clanmates told us lowly guests that complaining on the forums was tacky and weaksause. THEN again it's two days later and this has a lot of whining on it...
Who's whining, Rumple? And why the title "lowly" guests? Foxes and friends of Foxes are always welcome and respected. The build has always been an issue - for the past 6 months. Now that more people have utilized the build, it becomes an exploit for EE war wins. Problem here is that you confuse debating with whining.
KaW please let us know if you will patch this, I don't want to convert to tower build then have it patched lol.
Tower builds can be taken out by hansels.. And to say that the tower build is the reason clans win wars is absolutely ridiculous they can't make more than 10-15b plunder tops do you are saying that a whole clan can't make more than that??
The tower build DTW while they still have troops in ESTOC edge wars actually defeats the purpose of ESTOC edge. As does the hansel being dtw if no gold out. It's basically self pin in ESTOC wars. These mechanics should be at LEAST removed during these wars. Attack builds cannot self pin yet hansels and tower builds can - it's not right
@ Knight Really? 4 hansels could take down a tower build. Do some math. Look at Taka clan. There are multiple. You take that, along with Taka's leadership and coordination, and they are arguably unbeatable. The argument is that they are DTW to attacks. Take that away, and that build wouldn't be used. That is the argument. @ Crown I'm certain the amount of work Foxes brass puts into war prep, and tracking, just to have Taka destroy them with ease was enough reason to bring it to forums. Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long to see a forum on it.
So you want to take away a build mech? Take away hansels being dtw to attack builds with no gold out then isn't that the exact same thing?
@ Zero I understand you took a cut in plunder to have that build. But you look at this like everyone is HLBC. There are more smaller builds that are being decimated by this build, that make less plunder than you can now. You won't find anyone that will argue that the cut in plunder is enough to allow a DTW to attacks. I know plenty of tower builds that have said that their own build isn't fair. Understandably, you probably won't see them posting here. Why would they. The build is legal. If its ruled it won't be changed, I'll begin changing my build.
@ Knight I fully agree. I'm a hansel for that very reason. Having no gold and no def pots = DTW for attacks. If they make that change I would completely agree.
