Village Guard & Personal Breaks <-- discuss it HERE!

Kick me off after 3 hours instead of 6 if you want, but ditch all the messing about afterwards. If no one attacks me while I'm forced offline why then punish me for my good luck by kicking me off again? And again?

The boosts are all two hours. If I boost two runs, that means the PBT kicks me out in the middle of my second boost. Does the boost timer stop?

They should just make it pause like they do during maintenance break. I think it will be really frustrating to have to manage when you can have boost time on top of the PBT/VG timers.

100% agree with this, this whole idea of being kicked off and briefly allowed back on the best part of an hour is ludicrous. Being unable to play just because I have no loot and no one wants to waste a full on assault on my base that would result in a net loot loss is such a poorly thought out game mechanic.
I will probably just end up playing another game during this time. Rather than sitting with a stopwatch working out when I can next play for 6 minutes. And time spent playing other games is lost time when I could be spending gems SC!
Seriously you need to rethink this.

180 loons -- 50 hogs -every war -plus countless other troops that are requested from me - the primary one and only donor (more or less) Due to how my clan is designed...

Thanks for killing the Ambush style wars we were doing in my clan...

It was a thing of beauty while it lasted... 45 players attacking in war - instantly when the war began... getting every star on the map within a couple hours... It helped demoralize many opponents enough to cause them to quit early. Was a very solid war tactic.

Now - there will be players skipping war attacks left and right due to these awful new rules.


6 to 8 hours online- followed by a simple - timer - attacked or not attacked - then back online...

There are poor bases in this game - who will NEVER be attacked... Seriously... If I can't get 300k gold 300k elixer and 2 to 3k dark -- I'm not going to bother attacking them... ever... so those players wll likely NEVER get a 'proper defense'

These are break even numbers with a proper attack army... depending on what is used you may need to find 400k/400k and 3 to 5k dark for a good return on your attack investment...

I'd say one out of 300 bases have this kind of money... So the other 299 players will be skipped - forever...


Worst idea ever.

you will only be offline for 6 minutes, up to 3 times. I'm sure you can cope. You can even turn it into a 18 minute block by dismissing the 15 minute VG between each break.

the PBT timer does not run while you have a shield. So you could be online for up to 16 hours without a break while your shield runs down, and only then does the 3 hour PBT timer start.

Does this mean that if I'm in champion league and I have a 30 minute village guard, I can pull off two quick attacks within that 30 minute period and no one can attack/revenge me until that time is up?

Yes that is very clear, read the sneak peak. You can also attack multiple times when you have a shield, the shield will reduce by 3+ hours with each attack.

Only 6 minutes of it, up to three times, so 18 minutes max. If you are bossing stuff already just add a 2 hour VG for another 10 gems.

This PBT doesn't kick us out of the game if we are in the midst of attacking (war/multiplayer) right?

What if ileave my th outside, and got snipe 3 times, does this means my pbt resets? ( i know about the no shield thing, the 50% troops thing) just want to reset my timer. And can u still lightning strike th Or is it protected as storage?

I kind of don't understand why I'm getting charged for being online and attacking, when I'm actually just in war with my clan, filling clan castles, and being part of my clan.

DONT YOU RELIZE IT TAKES 3 HOURS PLUS TO MAKE TROOPS!!!!!!, so i get to come on line raid once and get offline to be raided again, to lose all the cups that i just won, not a well thought process !!!, If your going to make us get off line so quickly (3hours) , then make the troops making time shorter and spells the same. There is no fun in only being able to raid just 1 time every 3 hours tto lose everything. The shield cost and guard cost, needs to be vamped to, it seems ️ITS all in it for your pocket books. I know I can make troops faster by gemming my boost for my barracks, but this suppose to be a game that you can play for free. It seems to me, it isnt free anymore.
