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

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.

I was gonna rush to TH11 but, seeing the path the "Quality of Life" change this update is taking, I'm not optimistic about tomorrows Sneak Peek.

:saywhat::saywhat::saywhat::saywhat::saywhat::sayw hat: From what I understand the players who complain the most of "the clouds" and probably have the best chance of a decent defence (with being maxed and all) will get the longest village guard shizzle or somewhat. Will this not just generate more clouds for them (I'm no cupper btw)?

On a personal note I need to see this guard thing in real live action because I read the full note but It is to much of a change to comprehend without seeing the affect in game.

During war many players like to stay online to watch attacks and such so getting 3 hours of cumulative time is easy to do on war day.....

Please address this question!

why are you at war while being unshielded?

Cumulative means continous, like three hours playing without stop, and its not that common for players to do that... Also if you read carefully YOU ARE ONLY FORCED OFFLINE for SIX MINUTES

It does affect war simply because you will be kicked off the game. What if someone is planning to do an attack and they are booted? Then, they are attacked but don't get a shield (so they are given 15 minutes of personal guard time). What happens then? They get a short village guard time before they are kicked off again? It's quite ridiculous, and unless they have timers visible with clear descriptions of what's going on, it's going to be complicated to figure out what is even going on and when you're going to be booted again.

I'm convinced that the Supercell staff all ate a bag of mushrooms before they started brainstorming ways to change how shields work. I can think of so many different ways to alter the system in a less confusing way.

At the same time, those people farming in low league can simply leave their TH out. They will quickly get 3 defs, and be back with a 3 hours PB

you do notttt not nooooot get defence by th snipe anymore...

Lol I just thought what about high Titan/Legend players? Now they have to defend double the times and we know what it means for them XD the new matchmaking/trophy thingy better do something about this otherwise not only farming will be dead... XD

Why can't this $70 billion dollar company hire someone who can actually write a post, that is well thought out and informative? Let's not have trashed hipsters who woke up hung over try to announce major game changes, please? Someone who can do it in a professional manner, please?

Not sure what this will change to the "normal" player, not as high as Champion 1 and not buying any gems...
I will wait patiently for the next sneak peeks but I am slightly concerned with the issues on the Economy:
1/ the VG doesn't address the issue of remaining cost. This will naturally kick in as you won't be just sniped any more
2/ the th snipes brought (certainly in Masters and higher) some substantial value to the general economy of the game.
Will the change in the league bonuses address this point ?
