I'd add another solution... you can be 'online' for donations and war viewing, but still be attacked. why does it matter if you can see your village or not during an attack?

Can't read the whole sneak post yet because as soon as I saw GEMS to play I went numb
F2P goes to P2PP
If I'm wrong I'll work it out
I used to play a Facebook game(nitrous Racing) it was amazing, great forum great chat.Basically the same concept of COC
You challenged an opponent and could win win 20-50 million per race challenge ( non animation)and revenge for double( they even bought out an insurance that if you got beat you tripled your loss)cost real£ but not as expensive as this game is
It was getting to the point where it competed with Mafia wars/farmville and all other fb games
One day we went to revenge a 50 million defeat and got back 17k.
They changed the WHOLE concept of what made the game great OVERNIGHT(it lasted 11 months then died)
Now if Supercell are going to change the whole concept of what attracted millions to play this game overnight, then this will happen to clash
I know there's more to come but we know a few snippets of that IE ,TH11, new hero, larger map, ETC
But be careful supercell if you change basic and make it complex or how this seems to be heading" Totally Different Game" then believe GAMERS when they say your changing things we don't need/want/like
You may have the best business heads in the app industry, but it's the GAMERS that play not the PR guru..
Awaits tomorrow's GEM peek
Still won't judge as I can't quite grasp the puzzle, but your gambling by changing a bit more than many may think is necessary..
And as I think was Holps said
The mods were chipping in every 5th post, as of today nothing.
THIER stuck in a meeting having this explained so they can understand it,(and they were told 2-4 weeks ago)
I was going to say the opposite. Those in the upper tiers will get a 3 hour guard that'll let them loot and train troops without fear of getting attacked.
Those of us in champions and below only get a 15 minute guard, so if we want to train troops without getting attacked, we'll have to buy a guard.
In anything above Crystal 3, you pretty much get attacked as soon as you go offline, so this change doesn't really benefit anyone if they're hoping to play for a couple hours straight. They're still going to have to keep their screens on for a long period of time and keep reloading the game or touch the screen to prevent it from disconnecting them.
Not saying it's good or bad, just saying it's not much different for lower level players.
It's not exactly ignorant. It's slightly ignorant, yes, but SC has just killed off one of the fundamentals of farming and implemented some overly confusing feature that is going to likely result in profit for them. Unless you're going to make some major change to make the players happy (which they won't, it's likely going to be something minor to retain some naysayers), then IMHO the opinions are just.
A very interesting update - not sure if this is one for the benefit of players or supercells coffers (call me a cynic).
You get kicked after a shorter period of game time (3hrs) :(, that is a benefit for the players. I'm sure a number of players will be happy with that and if you want your base to be secure/protected you can spend gems on a temporary shield called village guard :unsure: which lasts 2 hours. Current system allows for at least 6 hrs online game time before being kicked and no requirement to spend money on gems.
Seems like the proposed changes are not for a fairer system to allow those the opportunity to attack bases whom have not been able to get revenge etc... because the original attacker was cute in putting their town hall outside of their base to pick up a shield, incidentally this part of the game will disappear.
All in all, the update will encourage activity? Surely not if players have 3 hour game time windows.
Looking forward to the changes. ;)
They should allow to buold quicker armies... i mean, personal breaks are now reached quicker (3 hours instead of 6) so they should allow us to do more with less time! They wanna see more attacks n defends?? Cut the army training time n you will definetly get more!
Why exactly are they making these changes? To me, this is getting too complicated. I enjoy this game and all, but come on Supercell, what are you doing?!
