The former assumes I have actually trained my troops to be ready in time.

This an accurate understanding?

yes this is an accurate understanding

What is this insanity? Yesterday we are told, we want you to play more so no free th snipe shield. Today we are being told... we want you to play less... 3 hours less in fact. Then when you want to play more, we will kick you off again because you didn't get the message we don't want you on, even though we said yesterday we did.

And... further... ok... so 3hrs... 6 min break... 15 minute play... 6 minute break... 15 minute play... 6 minute break... 3 hrs again after mucking about for 18 minutes of breaks and 2 15 minute short play slots. At that point I am likely to say, bugger this I'm done for the day, not stuffing around with 48 minutes of on off time just to play.

See that Supercell... you're forcing someone through 48 minutes of garbage to keep playing. They will not do that. Less time on, less gems spent... or even stop playing. Oh dear!

So I made a base with th inside. For four hours no-one attacked me. So I came back and did some raiding then logged off for the night. 4.5 hours it took before I got raided. Going by the new system... this will repeat during my 6 minute time out... and then... hours after playing, if I am still not raided I am not given a village guard. But yesterday you said you wanted me to make a village that defends. Now that it is so scary it doesn't get attacked I get punished.

Is this a big trick?

Make a base to defend. No one attacks. No shield for you, no village guard for you. Oh you want to play? Not so fast... we don't want you playing... here, have this 48 minutes of mess around if you want to keep playing. Oh you're still here? Wow, you are tolerant, we thought you would have gotten the message by now. Don't you know, we are making this as complicated as we can and as user unfriendly as we can think of.

Supercell... remember, it is hard to get a customer but easy to lose one. Don't make this game so new people will not bother. A confused mind says "no".

^EXACTLY!!! KEEP THE GAME SIMPLE!!! SUPERCELL, are you making clash of clans 2? this is a whole lot of change! Making a huge change while not fixing those previous flaws of yours is just B***S***!

We have our own time and we want to play whenever we want to play, no matter how many hours we will be online. That 6 hours was great and now lessen it by 3 hours and keep kicking us every 15 minutes 3 times? Seriously SUPERCELL, do you want us to play or not? :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::facepalm::facepalm:

I HOPE THE FUTURE SNEAK PEAKS WILL JUSTIFY THIS ♥♥♥♥!

Haha...not likely. This is now a pay to play game.

This Personal Break 3-hour limit is only reset after getting a shield, or in some special cases covered below
Buying the 2-hour Village Guard from the Shop will extend a player's current Personal Break 3-hour limit by 2 hours

Does this mean if I'm not attacked in the 6 minute first break that I only have an additional 15 minutes to play before getting kicked again?
That's how I read it. 3 hours of play....6 minutes off. Don't get attacked...play 15 min and get kicked. Don't get attacked again...play 15 min and get kicked... Sounds like this can happen three times. THEN they will give you 3 hours again. I personally hate the 6 hour kick. 3 hours just might be enough to quit the game and play something that don't limit me.

How many times will you get attacked and looted by less than 50% army and never get a shield? The attacker don't care if you get a shield.

So breaking this down - VG for the majority will be a 10 gem feature. Boost your spells, heroes, barracks and now VG and attack endlessly for 2 hours without having to keep your phone on in between. That's basically all this is.

For the higher leagues - they basically get that same feature but for free.

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.

So get 3 hours of raid time + spend 10 gems = 5 hours of raid time.

Old system, 6 raid time no gems.

Diff last two hours of raids I would if I so choose put the device down and one less hour of raid time.

Other side if you do not wish to spend gems on VC is after 3 hours you get upto 63 min of interrupted play before you can raid for another 3 hours - old system, 6 hours on, 5 min off then 6 more hours.

Do you sell cars?

OMG! You are still leaving out key features to make it sound like the best thing ever.

The 3hr thing is the time at which you can be kicked (you may log on and keep paying a fortune to re-arm traps) and you can be attacked repeatedly unless you are so lucky as to have your base wiped...then you may play again. Yet you say it is "Nothing more" :facepalm:

I mean... that could work right? U could even attack under village guard without worrying about getting hit back for 15 mins... am i missing something here?

village guard is only 15 minutes long, not like 12 hour shield. Not nearly as useful

You only need 30% damage on your base to be shielded. Lol

If looting is going well may boost second barracks and SF.

This is also longer on war days, our clan is a back to back war clan.

Weekends will get a 9 hour stint in if I can.

Any other information you require?

facescraper not sure if you saw my answer to your question.
