4. Get TH sniped, attacker wins 1 star get loot bonus, you get no shield
5. Allowed back on for 15 min to reset traps do whatever, then kicked for another 6 min
6. Get TH sniped, attacker wins 1 star get loot bonus, you get no shield but PBT time is reset, you good for another 3 hours.

Hope that helps.

...everytime I get sniped (currently in champs3) I loose anything from 8 to 17 trophies (not from revenges) .
The most I can make however is 23 per attack and that is very rare. On average I loose 11cups per snipe and make 10cups per attack. Do the math to see it will not work out inthe new system, and on top of everything, I will then never get a shield, so can only protect my resources by being on all the time 24/7.

I am a war clan leader, so on a huge amount of time for war day (we war back to back). This also makes for a farmer as I want the best base I can for wars, so that more time on non war days.

As a farmer all my gem from trees etc go to boost barracks.

If I now need to spend an extra 10 gems to get 5 hours of raiding, instead of the 6 hours I get pre update. (note can do this one per day as well only). You might now see why I am not happy with the idea?

LOL I was explaining the process of how it works, not recommending doing it :)

I like this new concept :D finally i can make a coffee without being attacked... lol.

Yes I can see that, but its tough to please everybody. But I do think that in the overall picture for most people these changes are an improvement. Lets see how it goes once the update comes. There are allot more sneak peeks coming so there might be something that will help you as well. Stay positive its only sneak peek 2 out of 14.

This seems pretty well thought out, and I think the overall effect will be very positive, BUT:

I think it's a mistake to add an additional concept. "Village Guard" will give a lot of confusion. It would be (have been) better to formulate it all as shielding with a strong and a weak version. Getting attacked for less than 30% gives you a little "weak shield" time, being attacked for more % gives you time on the strong shield.

When the strong shield times out it crumbles into a weak shield with a crumbly look. When the weak shield runs out you should be able to get attacked - regardless of whether you're online or not. And attacking substracts from strong shield, not from weak shield.

One concept, same effect, much simpler to explain.

I believe there will be no effect, as the period gets awarded at the time of the attack and probably then stays unchanged. But what if the shield giving attack itself is what drops you to a league further down? And what about first defenses of a new season? (players are in no league until they have performed an attack!)

Oh no, please just no! Not only is this the first post I have seen regarding this, but all our smartest forum members now need to adjust the very simple calculation systems the have developed to deal with this fantastic part of the update that is shielding/Village Guard.

I'll borrow this pic that shows the hard work being done....Attachment 146060

Edit: Nobody has any idea about this part as far as I know, your guess is as good as mine mate.

To summarise this, they are basically fixing something that doesn't need to be fixed and has rarely been complained about so a general backlash is inevitable. There are a lot more other issues in the game that could be focused on that are more important to be dealt with than this. But after all this is a two week sneak peek period and they always release the worst peeks first so expect(hope for) them to get a lot better.

from a different thread,think this is of interest here too

...well you could always start your boost within the first hour of your PBtimer, but if you fail to do that, then yes,you will loose out a few minutes of your boost, every time your PBtimer runs out. This you can only prevent by buying 2hrs worth of VG which will not only add 2hrs to your PBtimer, but also prevent your base from being attacked during that period.
It will also mean, that you can safely log off between raids for the duration of army build time as long as the VG is not used up, this will then doubly prolong your PBtimer, as this timer will be on hold while you're off.

The probably best strategy for the longest possible session would therefor be to boost late into your PBtimer, then buy a VG for 2hrs even later, and start logging off during army build time. Your boost might run out during your VG, but once that is the case, army build time is longer and you can stay off line longer too, allowing for more on-line time after VG ends, because after VG runs out, you will still have time left on your PBtimer.
In short:
Log on and stay on,
then boost,
then buy VG and log off between raids,
then come back on and stay on once Vg is used up until PBtimer runs out
-
then put your TH out and hope for a snipe
come back on for 15 minutes
-
(repeat this proceedure two more times)
-
you're back to 3hrs PBtimer either after three snipes, or if you get a shield (regardless of winning ondefence or loosing).
