So basically the majority of us get an extra 15 minute shield?? WOW! What a great idea SC!! And we can pay for a few more hours per day?! Omg stop the excitement is too much. This and the end of TH shields is nothing more than a cash grab, as I and many others have said already.
Wow, this all seems very complicated.
My first concern though is that I like to play with barracks and heros on boost. But boosts (at least currently) last 2 hours and, if I understood correctly, a Personal Break will be forced after 3 hours (rather than the current 6 hours).
So they got rid of free shields and now you have to buy it with real money?
genious
for this update they must respawn trees more often then its good
Good point ... i have no idea i am still confusedQuote:

Not only that, but the whole concept of having two forms of shield to manage is completely against the principle of simplicity that makes games like this so popular. Just can't get my head why they would want to go down this route...
I think this is a mistake. I'm not going to be stupid enough to come out with an 'all they had to do...' line because I understand the difficulties involved in engineering effective software solutions. However, it looks very much to me like they've come up with the shield changes, then found through initial testing that it causes some problems, and then thought of the quickest and dirtiest way to fudge a fix in order to hit a deadline. The result is some very convoluted garbage development that sits on top of the 'user-is-online-so-hide-from-matchmaking' flag.
Waiting with baited breath to see this one play out.
This is a seriously confusing update...I'm also struggling to see the reasoning behind the PBT...can one of you bright young things clarify what the extended time means after the 6 minutes PBT if I'm not attacked or does that mean if I am not attacked in the 6 minutes I get another 3 hours before another PBT?
With my TH in it is very,very unlikely I will get a shield in 6 mins?
I might have a beer and re-read this....this is going to be a rough sell
So far have not seen anything that would encourage me to buy gems. Yes there is a new option for those eager gemmers to spend their gems but for me as a eager clasher not so much. I can afford to take a small break and usually I take those breaks anyway even without the game forcing them.Quote:
