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

Overall, I like it. Supercell is very conscious of when players abuse the game, and too many players have been doing this. So now all the top tier hotdoggers will have to work to stay on top, or pay extra to abuse the system. I usually can't play for 3 hours strait without at least a 6 minute break anyway, so I don't see the affecting me. Good Update!

oh the post is hard to completely understand... Dont worry, not understanding it wont affect younthat much, the VG will just work, after a while of playing you will understand better how it works and you will be more able to exploit... Stop jumping to conclusions.

supercell wants money as any business but it also want happy costumers, otherwise the game dies and they stop earning... You can still play iwthout spending a dime... Im already planning how to get the best of this update :cool:

Also, if something doesnt work, they can easily fix it with a later minor update. That is why they buff and nerf stuff from time to time.

Thrust supecell a little bit. If you still feel abit aprehensive, dont spend a dime until you dont see how the update work (i dwont spend anything either way:smirk:)

I don't think its 3 continous hours its 3 comulative hours. So logging off and on in that time will not reset the count down :o



A player is forced offline for 6 minutes after 3 hours of cumulative online time (or Village Guard time) without shield

• Buying the 2-hour Village Guard from the Shop will extend a player's current Personal Break 3-hour limit by 2 hours

Does this mean if I'm not attacked in the 6 minute first break that I only have an additional 15 minutes to play before getting kicked again?

I have read the notes, but I am puzzled.
I understand, that at titan1 and legend nothing changes as you get 6hrs online time as was b4.
But the rest just confuses me:
I've been online raiding and warring for 2hrs and log off for 10minutes. When I come back on and have not been attacked, my session timer will not have reset, it will even have continued meaning I will be kicked out after 50minutes?
What if the first hour of these 2hrs was under a shield?
When does the PBT start counting, when I log on or when a shield ends?
I really do not understand how all this is meant.
I do not know how it is now, because 6hrs is too long for me. Because I don't get kicked out regularly I have no experience with this. But only 3hrs changes a lot. This will affect me and as yet do not understand how. Also I am not sure whether in-game mechanics will be self explicable - espescially if it is this complicated.
My playing rhythm and on-time strategy wil be much implicated by this and really do want an explanation so that I can adjust!
SC please!

Cheers to their new PAY TO PLAY game keeping the name of their old nice game, Clash of Clans!!

Personal break kicks in after 3 online hours that are unshielded. For max th10 players with no loot it's unlikely anyone will attack them. They can log in/out numerous times and those 3 hours will eventually add up, especially if they're an active leader or member in a war clan.

It has nothing to do with continuous play, rather it's time online that is unshielded. Notice the bullet point below (copied/pasted from the announcement post):

• A player is forced offline for 6 minutes after 3 hours of cumulative online time (or Village Guard time) without shield

Well the post is a bit confussing, but even if its like that, is only six minutes, so at worst, there will be 8 times a day i wont be able to connect for a brief period of six minutes (assuming i dont get attacke din the whole day)... I dont know, i will judge when the update comes.

I've got to say VILLAGE IDIOT mode would be very useful for some people. I envision a paperclip with eyes and a mouth saying, "It looks like you're trying to zap some Dark Elixir from that storage, would you like some help?"

I doubt they would up the spawn rate. That would decrease profits tbh.

Hey supercell fix your stupid bot problem and not punish those who actually play your game. Oh wait, you're going to lose half of those with this half- fluffy bunnied update.

If you spent less time on things that won't matter, your big pekkas and wizard inferno towers maybe you could continue to make a quality game. Instead. You failed, hard.

Get a PR person and actually do your job that you're being paid to do since you're all going to lose your job if you kill the golden goose.

Which then means if you don't get hit for 30% your basically kicked out the game for 48mins without being able to attack. That's not changing the way of life that's killing the game in its tracks. When the first sneak peak basically solved the problem of people being under shield or unavailable to attack. Poor decision making by someone.

Poor reading more like it. 48minutes where does that come from? There are up to 3 x 6 minute forced breaks 15 minutes apart if you don't get a shield in that time, then you get another 3 hours. not life ending stuff. Go to the toilet, eat some food, get some outside time...

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

The personal break timer isn't reset. You get 15 minutes to log back on (after the forced 6 minutes off) until the personal guard expires again and you're kicked off. This can happen 3 times, at which point you regain 3 hours before you're kicked off again.
