Any chance that a spot is going to open up in Goonfleet? Not enough active players in Boat Pirates.

Does anyone want to hang out in an IRC channel for Goony Boom Beach? I figure since there's multiple task forces we could all come together here and be Goony together.

I'll be in #SABoomBeach on synirc.net if anyone else wants to join.

I was worried about my VP for a while because I was getting PVP bases 10 levels above, but after grinding out a bunch of VP (maybe 50 or so?) the bases I'm seeing are actually a little bit closer to my level. I'm wondering if the bases I was seeing were abandoned, causing their VP to drop way below where they should be, where as the people I'm seeing now are actively playing the game are the same progression level I am.

Also, has anyone ever tried a heavy/warrior rush comp? In theory if you create a smoke trail up to the HQ, including one on the HQ, the one right before the HQ, where the heavies should be in because they wouldn't get adjacent to the HQ like the warriors do, would run out right before the one hiding your warriors does, giving the heavies a second to be targetted by all the defenses before the smoke screen hiding your warriors drops, taking pressure off your warriors as they murder the HQ/Power Core.

Heavies and warriors work, the defenses behind the warriors will hit them first instead of the warriors. You still need to shock the Shock Launchers or you will die in a fire.

I'm about to hit lvl 24, HQ 11, and I have almost no defensive buildings. I place my mines when I get them but I think I only have like, 4 sniper towers, 2 mortars, and 2 machine guns right now. None of them are above lvl 3. At what point should I start building defenses? Does that time come before HQ20?

HOW ABOUT I LASH YOUR SHIT


I'm honestly not sure that defense matters at all. I'm level 22, HQ 9 with only halfway upgraded defenses and it's been two weeks since anyone attacked my home base (when I was HQ 8, or maybe 7). My resource bases have gone back and forth, but without a way to upgrade the defenses there's not a whole lot to do there. My guess is that because of the all-or-nothing nature of attacking and rewards, most people don't seem interested in risking a wipe on a base that's even halfway-decently put together; it's easier to do Task Force raids, resource bases, terror missions, etc.

JM mentioned Smokey Hooka, so I googled it and found this video. Heavy losses, but it's able to destroy pretty much any player base.

This tactic is way above what's required for the bases in the 500 vp bracket, but it looks fun. Time to max out my smoke and hooka.

Goonfleet is the best task force.

Non-Goonfleet task forces, how many active members are you guys rocking? We might be getting to the point where a task force consolidation would be best.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

Boat Pirates has 24 members, though we've averaged 12-13 attacks in our most recent ops (both complete and incomplete).

Somewhere between 71 and 81. The better the statue, the rarer it is. You only have about a 30% chance of rolling a better one (15% really, since there are two types of red statues).

Supercell did a Reddit AMA, here's the results (new update soon)

some redditor posted:

Confirmed Updates:

New update coming early next week

Ability to save and load base layouts

Battle replay sharing and a co-leader role within task forces

Gearheart rewards will start at 2 gears and be broken up into 7 thresholds

Possible Updates:

Attack status and history for task force members

Ability to add symbols and additional notes to operations

Test attacks are being discussed

And a bonus Smokey Zooka vid!

This one is new to me. Is it new to the game?

Not sure how I am supposed to tackle this. Warriors perhaps. Even boosted, that's a lot of gbe to take out two SLs and then shock the cannons for tmed.

I would say riflemen and a medic or two, stun all 4 shocks, stun leftmost cannons/mortars, and flare all troops at once to the left of shock cannons.

Edit: maybe have a smoke/heal at the ready if the shocks are getting too salty.

I did it with tmed, but lost a lot of troops. Which I dislike, especially for NPC bases. That's pretty much the only appeal of tmed; not losing troops. A lot of the new (or new to me) bases feature A LOT of level 20 cannons. Which also look dumb as gently caress now.
