You get shield only if your base gets at least 30% damaged and the attacker drops more then 1/3 of your TH level's max troop space. The space is calculated based on max that defenders TH lvl can have including heroes and more. No more shield if just the Th is sniped and you will lose more resources as TH will hold significantly more resources after update.

after every 3 hours of cumulative play time since your last shield, you get kicked out for 6 minutes and after that you can play in small increments before being kicked out again till you get a shield or one of exceptions happen.

this is simplistic version. Stickies explain in detail very well actually. Hope it's going to help you read stickies better.

Don't see it this way at all. Why do you have to spend gems?

Now, to emphasis the worse. Here's the two worse things that can happen, 1 for attackers, 1 for defenders

1. People will now make weaker defensive layouts just for the shields. They will do this because they want the shields, so they can play more. Also, on another side, you will be bored of attacking for trophies because of the weak defensive layouts. This means Clash will decrease in popularity because of this and the next thing I'll mention.

2. If you get disconnected because of PBT, you risk losing your resources, especially when you want a very expensive upgrade like a Lv. 4 Clan Castle or a Lv.10 Barracks, or a Lv.6 Dark Barracks. Which we all know, it is a pain when we lose our hard worked loot, which I hope, the next thread fixes this up.

Summary: The game will get boring due to PBT, because of impossible builds and easy wins.

1. As you won't get a shield unless the attacker uses 1/3rd of their troops then a really weak defense is not going to help.
2. That's the whole point of the pbt, to allow your base to be attacked. If you don't want to play a game when you attack and defend, try hay day or something. You won't lose all your loot, just a bit, which you can earn back.

I think a few people are missing that this post was tongue in cheek and laughing at the whingers ;)

Personal Break Timer (PBT):

PBT is 3 hours: forced offline for 6 minutes after 3 hours cumulative online time without shield
PBT resets when gaining shield, or in other reset cases below
Buying 2-hour Village Guard from shop extends current PBT by 2 hours
PBT paused during server maintenance, but not reset

PBT reset cases:

After defense with shield: Full PBT reset
After a defense without shield OR 6-minute PBT kickout without defense: PBT extended (+15 minutes to PBT, +15 minutes Village Guard)
After 2nd consecutive defense without shield OR 6-minute PBT kickout without defense: PBT extended (+15 minutes to PBT, +15 minutes Village Guard)
After 3rd consecutive defense without shield OR 6-minute PBT kickout without defense: Full PBT reset + Free Village Guard based on League
After 3 hours consecutive offline time without defense: Full PBT reset (no Village Guard given)

This is the most convoluted bunch of ♥♥♥♥ ever conceived. Please immediately fire whoever came up with this garbage along with everyone responsible for approving it. Thanks.

counting minutes... booted for 6 minutes, allowed to play for 15, booted for 6 allowed to play for 15, 3 hours, 6 minutes, 15 minutes, 6 minutes, 3, 6, 15, 3.141592...

Just boot people for 10 or 15 minutes after however many hours and get rid of all the nonsense.

When did that happen did they sneak that change in or actually announce it?

You can play for as long as you like, but if you want to play around the clock you need to take 18 minutes off every 3 hours. Opportunity to eat, go to the toilet, go outside, etc etc.

Simplify the PBT Reset too. Just leave as a 10 or 15 min period where you are offline. Then reset the PBT regardless of whether you have been attacked or not.
Ditch the Village Guard or atleast make it the same for every player regardless of league.

This. Please please reconsider the update
