Yes I understand what you are saying teflonsean, however that puts me into the 63 min interruption phase.

Your still going to get a win and loot bonus for a snipe. So people will still hit you quickly.

It just won't be used for free shield anymore.

An attack by an opponent that doesn't use 50% of his army capacity doesn't count Or reset the PB timer.

All i see is mod-der or bot-ter who complaint.
Or perhaps only if you got no life at all ?

You boost barrack or any other thing else only effective for 2 hour. While the soft force logout only happen after 3hour no ? and only for 15minute.

C'mon, please dont sound like supercell wont earn alot just because a few of chea-ter quit.

Drop PB to 4hrs to line up with boosting times, 20min forced break, log back on and play for another 4hrs.

As simple as this idea is, it does not encourage the purchase of gems....so bring on the system they came up with.

They can already do this. What the update is doing is allowing more casual players to also raid "non-stop" by letting you take short breaks without letting your village go offline.

Go back and read the bullet points.

• Every defense that DOESN’T result in a shield will instead result in a 15-minute extension of the defender's Personal Break 3-hour limit and Village Guard time
• Every 6-minute Personal Break kickout period that doesn't result in ANY defense will also result in a 15-minute extension of the defender's Personal Break 3-hour limit and Village Guard time
• "Mercy Rule" - The 3rd consecutive 15-minute extension will instead fully reset the Personal Break 3-hour limit and trigger the automatic Village Guard based on League

Make the play time 4 hours so two boost periods will fit. I have seen nothing that takes away from the stupidity of it being 3 hours.

Why not put a message on screen that you are on personal break, but still allow you to chat, war, change your base layout or anything else ?

What happens if in a middle of a raid, you spend all your gold and elixir on upgrades? Does the attack not get that resource? if he does, does that mean your upgrades are canceled? This is kind of a dilemma

Huge inconvenience for war, especially for people who have a tough defensive base that may not be attacked for a long period of time. Or, if your defense is moderate but you have little loot to take, everyone will pass on your base.

This would be a big problem.

Remember that the personal break only applies while you are un-shielded.

3. Only if you get a shield will the personal break timer reset.
4. Mercy rule applicable after about three failed tries on your village.

I mean what is a clasher supposed to do if someone isn't able to deploy 50% of his army and get 30% of his base. WAIT FOR 3 HOURS UNTIL THAT HAPPENS.............. This is ridiculous.

Mercy rule explicitly states your 3 hour personal break timer is reset, so you'll be able to attack again after that last 6 minute break period.
