During war many players like to stay online to watch attacks and such so getting 3 hours of cumulative time is easy to do on war day.....

Please address this question!

15 minutes is enough to get your war attack in.

No help if you want a shield before bed

It won't help if you want a shield while you sleep. You could get hit and defend 2-3 times and not get a shield using up your traps and CC troops. Doesn't seem like a good plan especially for people who raid at night before bed.

The village guard is meant to be a replacement for having to tend your iPad in order to stay online. Remember the story of Jorge Yao taking iPads into the shower during a push session so his bases won't be attacked? Now with V.G. protecting your bases for 15 minutes or longer while you're offline, you can be a normal human being again!

Not a bad improvement

The village guard concept isn't bad as far as I can see but to be honest, it is very complicated. I mean a 'Mercy rule' for third time you get Personal Break timer? That's ridiculous and pretty complicated to understand. It is also too specific. By the way, it isn't fair that people from 0-4100 trophy range get the same amount of VG shielding which is relatively very short to what Titans and Legends are getting

please help explain it to other people

Barch army now pointless

I really hope they reduce the train time and cost of troops to make up for only being allowed 3 hours of play time until you get booted off.

TH Sniping Actually Still Viable

"As we discussed in our last post, defenders should now get shield much more reliably, provided they have a good layout that invokes fair attacks. 30% destruction is now the lowest threshold to get a shield. However, in the case of exceptionally poor attacks that do less than 30% destruction (or for Chiefs who neglect to bring their Town Halls inside and get "sniped"), an automatic 15-minute Village Guard period will activate to give shieldless defenders a chance time to rearm traps, reload their defenses and request defending troops. This defense will also extend the Personal Break 3-hour limit by 15-minutes, but will NOT reset it (unless the Mercy Rule, explained below, kicks in)."

I though th snipes WOULD NOT grant 15 minute VR... sounds like TH Snipes can still be used then... i wouldnt mind leaving my TH out for some VR.. most hits i get are SNIPES so i get 15 minutes... thats 4 Snipes per hour or what not plus it will reset my PB timer when its needed... sounds like Farming Bases might jist survive..

Being kicked offline 3 times in an hour because your base is properly designed and upgraded seems a bit silly.

They want to make sure there's as much of a chance as possible that your base gets demolished... of course remember this applies to other people so get out there and demolish other people!

players will want to play like this to benefit the most...

Get Attacked (get shield) > Attack 1 (-3 shield) > Attack 2 (-4 shield) > Attack 3 (no more shield) > short VG or gem VG and have a boost session once a day...

The big picture - Day 1 and 2 combined encourage casuals to attack multiple times before being hit again (this will be more of a QoL improvement for the hardcore as they already do this) and batteries around the globe can rejoice (or is it rejuice?) because we no longer have to keep our screens on all the time.

yes!! This is exactly the point. QoL improvement for clash.
