"For example, say a player reaches their Personal Break 3-hour limit. They will get a 6-minute Personal Break timeout to give other players a chance to attack them. If 6 minutes goes by without a defense, the player can then come back online for 15 minutes protected by Village Guard (and attack as normal, if they like). Then comes another 6-minute Personal Break timeout. Say, this time, someone attacks them for 15% destruction and loses. As this is a weak attack, the player can again come back online for 15 minutes protected by Village Guard. The 3rd time they get the 6-minute Personal Break timeout, no matter what happens, they will get a full reset on their Personal Break 3-hour limit and a full automatic Village Guard (via the Mercy Rule)."

As a clan leader I have been on for long periods. If the PBT "black hole" then starts I may not be able to get on for any real effective time without spending on gems or waiting to be attacked (this might mean having to sacrifice loot to ensure a quick attack happens).

It looks like my freedom to play has been removed or certainly hindered all for the pursuit of the trophy pushing crowd.

I am trying to remain open minded but this is the first update change in a long time that makes me rethink the time I put into this game. I hope I'm wrong. I do love CoC's. If I am, I hope a moderator can elaborate. Thanks.

You will only reach their personal break if you are not shielded. If you are shielded you will never be kicked out of the game.

you will still lose trophies

If it where 3 hours in a row, and did not take 63 min of unsuccessful attacks or non attacks (if I comprehend it correctly) it wouldn't be so bad. The idea that IF you don't get a real attack and or have to jump through hoops to play a cell phone game without gemming REALLY irritates me.

IF it where to kick in after 3 hours of continuous play and IF there where not this silly "mercy" garbage and just boot your for 6 min then it would be tolerable. But to tell players after being on 3 hours basically randomly (assuming u are not attacked) will be extra annoying. If the game is annoying as it sounds it will be I will indeed quit and the $20 gem purchase I made last week (why I Now regret) will be my last..

i could care less about trophies as I'm not a max base yet (still have some lvl 11 walls and bk is 31 and aq is going to 39)

now with th11 I would plan to farm to max there.. However, if u can't even be a farmer without random interruptions I won't play anymore.

Lastley, all sneak peeks so far seem to be anti farmer / war clan player and will be off putting to many coc serious players

Explain these "random "interruptions..

3 Hour "Personal Timer" is ludicrous

assuming you you have max th10 defenses and no loot you will not get attacked very often esp with the reduced win bonus.. So every 3 hours of play time u get booted. It's my understanding that it's cumulative. I'm talking about the personal break timer when u play without a shield. Which I assume will happen regularly for me.

3 hoirs cumulative and not successive will feel random as I get on and off throughout the day. It's a farce to get you to spend 10 gems

So after 3 hours we get kicked, if we get back online after X minutes and we didn't get attacked, we will be kicked again in a few minutes?

Yes, but this can only happen 3 times due to the Mercy rule

So who's starting the petition on whitehouse.gov?

village guard only lasts as long as the personal break, even for Titan+ league unless you gem and get another 2 hours of personal break time.

They will be attacked after that 3 hour period for Titan 1 players. They simply just have a bit of an extension on their shield, as though they came online right as their shield ended

Problem is village guard counts against your personal break. Say I'm in Titan 1, I get a 3 hour VG when my shield runs out, but I don't actually log in to play until I have 5 minutes of that VG left, I get booted after 5 minutes to take a "personal break"?

Is this correct?

Yes this is correct. Village Guard is a replacement for being online, and as far as the game is concerned, you've been online for three hours and you need to take your personal break.

I think people don't realize there was already a personal break system and it was 6 hours. I highly doubt anyone stays online on their phone for a straight 3 hours, let alone 6.

Well of course there are the hardcore guys, but lets restrict this to 90% of the community.
