Give us a SHIELD when someone uses a full army against us... regardless of %

I understand the reasoning behind taking the shield away for TH snipes, but, what I don't get, is if someone uses a full army against my base and 1- either sucks at attacking or 2- has weak troops, I don't get a shield.

We get a 20-30 minute guard and that's it (now I have to reset traps and get new cc troops)

We are getting punished for having high level defenses and good base designs because 30 minutes later, someone can now attack our base with several traps gone and possibly the cc troops killed.

I propose we get a shield (or even a half shield) when someone uses a certain percentage of their troops against our base (like how the eagle artillery is activated) so we have time to login and reset everything.

I agree, I've never understood the idea of punishing people for being strong defensively.

You get the shield to prevent you being hit for loot over and over again.

If they aren't getting 30% damage with a full army, then they shouldn't be getting much loot either.

Except when the first hit gets 200k, takes out all traps then the 2nd hit comes in and takes 500k easily. Punished for having strong defenses while my rushed TH12 only loses like 200-400k per hit

We've already mentioned that you are being punished for being strong defensively. It is very possible that someone comes along takes a quarter to 50% of your loot, destroys your cc, trips up your traps and leaves with less than 29% only to have the next person destroy most if not the entire base. Which means that for having a successful defense you were punished by being hit for more loot than if you had just been crushed initially. Explain how that makes any sense.

Not to mention you make a completely false assumption about loot not being taken. It's actually quite easy for people to take your full de without taking 30% of the base. When I was using goblin knife I would be able to do this regularly. Taking up to 50% of all the loot offered on most bases would easily be achievable with less than 29% destruction. So, sorry your explanation does not hold up.

Do not try to make a rule based on the worst possible scenario.

Most of the times, a less than 30% hit barely gets any loot and disable not more than 33% of your traps.

UNLESS

You have a base where all the loot is exposed, so that is on you.

I guess you didn't read my post, which happens to be right above yours. :facepalm:

You are clearly missing the point of the thread which is that people are being punished for having a strong defense. You think it's right to lose more loot for being strong defensively than you would if you were weaker??

I did read your post, and your point is not valid so I decided to skip it.

No one is being punished for a strong defense, you win lots of trophies and that's the main goal for people who do want to defend attacks.

I have a full base, the strongest defense possible, and every time I defend an attack the attacker barely gets loot and I get 30+ trophies

When you get on 5000+ trophies you will learn that 30+ trophies on a defense is a reason to dance the entire night.

Congratulations to you. So you are making a negative comment on a thread which does not affect you in any way. First off I have been well over 5000 trophies, so I understand that to you (the small minority in this game) who only cares trophies this may have no effect. For anyone else this is something that is completely backwards.

You are being punished for being stronger defensively if you take a defensive win with giving up less than 30%. You lose more loot. Period! While that might not matter to you (again the very, very small minority in this game) it does affect others, as the main goal for most people is to hold loot to upgrade their base not to gain trophies from winning a defense. There simply is no reason that it should be this way and you have yet to provide a valid argument as to why it shouldn't be changed. (or any argument for that matter).


Even if it was changed it still wouldn't affect you negatively. As a matter of fact it would likely have a positive effect on you, because if your defense won with less than 29% damage you would still get a shield. Which in turn means more attacks for you before you have to defend again, which then means more potential trophy gains for you. Instead, if someone gets less than 29% against your base you will have to defend again shortly meaning you actually lose out on trophies for having a strong defense. So your logic makes no sense whatsoever

Their point is very valid. The vast majority of players are well under 5000 trophies and they dance all night when they receive a shield for a good defense.
