Well that seems sensible and not remotely convoluted...am I right?

It's actually quite simple. But if they release the update with the same description we saw today, I'm afraid the majority will not be able to understand it. They worded it in such a confusing way.

They may extend the 2 hour boost to 3 hours or shorten it to 1 hour.

I'm confused, if top players are shielded 100% of the time it mean they will NEVER be attacked, how is that fair?

Wow, again. The "free" Village Guard is pretty much useless, unless you're in Titans league as 15 minutes is pointless. So if you're not in Titans, all VG is, is a mechanism to gem/buy a couple of hours of shield once a day. And this after SC takes away a 12 hour shield from a TH snipe? Hard to see this whole new shield system as anything more than a money grab by SC.

This will be the end of many casual clans, and another reason for quiting, pity:thumbsdown:

No read the sneak peek, sheesh.

If you get attacked and get a shield that resets your 3 hours.
If you go offline for 3 hours that resets it.
After 3x6 minute forced breaks after 3 hours and nobody giving you a shield in that time, it resets the 3 hours.

They are only shielded during the time that they are allowed to play. They will still be attacked after their personal break kicks in.

But without the TH snipe protection for my loot, this new system seems like I'll lose loot every 12 hours. That's ~20 raids a week that will probably take loot. Plus there are trap re-arm costs. If I only raid 10 times a week there's no way I'll ever get ahead.

Hopefully one of the next sneak peeks has some feature to help the casual player. Or hopefully after the update I'll see that not all that much loot is being stolen from me and I can still afford upgrades. If not... then finally this will be the excuse I need to help me quit.

As you don't play the game much, then honestly, you won't miss it when you quit, and the active players will enjoy raiding the carcass of your dead base.

Wowzers, I'm going to have to read this a few times to let it fully digest. :saywhat:

It does all seem like overkill for what, in essence, is a simple game.

I'm keeping everything crossed that, once we finally get to play this with the VG/PBT up and running, it wont seem quite so complicated.
