Under 25% damage = 6 hour shield
Hearing a lot of people talk about the fact that they either cannot find loot, or the loot dried up,or whatever. Then you get to the area up in masters that everyone is always saying I just put th outside and wait out the shield blah blah. Yet they have to wait long times to find a new base that is near there own level.
How about a change in the way the shields work for most part. If you take a th and do less then say 10 % of a base. That gets a 4 hour shield. Then you are forced to get 25% damage to soak up a 6 hour shield. And last you get the normal 40% for 12 and so on u till the normal 16 hour shield is given.
Only being able to get a small shield for a th outside would make loot much more available because you could not have a ton of people with th outside soaking up 12 hour shields. If you truly want a larger shield, either buy it or make sure someone is going to want to take a lot more of the base.
You will get the bonus for taking a th, it will just happen to come out that the th sniped base will come available again in 4 hours instead of a very long 12. Should help the cloud waiters up in masters to. If I took a shield for only 4 hours won't that mean that either there will be more bases with shields broken quicker or if nothing else more ths to snipe.
best I can tell, shorter shield times for less damage done is win win for some and win/lose for some that don't want to get hit as often.
