Personally I think it would be wise to just defend once and risk a failed attack and only sacrificing a portion of your available loot.

Agree, I'm saying guaranteed new "TH Snipe", quick.

If you don't want to wait on several failed attacks probably need to sacrifice loot is all.

Or buy gems....lol

I wonder why they didn't just add 15 mins or whatever to the shield time. Probably to make a new "product" buyable by gems.

This update will kill the game.

I still love the idea, despite the complications it may bring. It's like having a mini-shield.

Words cannot describe my feelings right now, after reading about the 2nd update..

You you know what they say, "If ain't broke, don't try to fix it."

So good for them and nothing to worry about for anybody else.

Actually, this is relatively positive, with a large helping of confusion.

You have to get a baseline on how these threads generate feedback. Since more people come to complain, than compliment, the general feedback will almost always have a good degree of negative feedback. Just like adjusting the brightness on a screen, once you get an idea of the range of reactions, things become somewhat clearer. Though, just like a screen, no matter much you adjust it, you can't get rid of any static or signal noise. And there is a lot of noise here, drowning out informed posts.

Since there are fewer people saying this stinks (as a % of the whole.. from what I've been able to see), compared to the snap reactions of the last update, there is a better reception to the second sneak peek, but a good part of the muted hate is likely from the confusion.

I agree with this change not really affecting most of us much - 15 minutes (for anyone under Titans) at the end of my shield, and if I'm logged on during the first 15 minutes after my shield, if I drop offline for whatever reason I'm not going to get attacked (until the time expires). After that 15 minutes expires, the game will be exactly the same for me. I don't generally get 3+ hours of game play, nor go more than 5 minutes offline w/o being whomped on for 50% - 100%.

That would cost what maybe 100 troop space at most?
And when your farming obviously could care less about cups or percentage.

Are people really going to sacrifice there storages up to 3 times to get a shield?

Might as well just defend once and either lose just as much or half of what they potentially could lose.

♥♥♥♥♥.

Look at the league he is in...you want to go for 50% for the 140k 900 de.If you are farming and don't care about cups you can go up in champ/master now and get a lot of loot by sniping storages...you obviously haven't been that high in cups.

At 6-hours it was never something I encountered, but at 3-hours there's a good chance I could hit it during/after a barrack-boosted raid marathon. I'd be rather miffed to get kicked off before getting a chance to spend my loot.

Certainly I can try to keep track of it myself, but the whole thing is becoming complex enough that the game should explicitly display a timer for the personal break.

You'll be offline (like the current break system - a screen that says you have to wait).

But seriously I think they are making it too complex. Why not just explain it short and simple. Like: after a shield runs out, you have a 15 minute cooldown before you can get attacked. And when you get attacked and don't get a shield, you also get a 15 minute cooldown.

And then explain complex stuff only for the people who concern it (so without a job, or kids, or ...).

---

Actually, this is simply. Human reactions can be quite complex. Granted there are well documented simple human reactions, but there are countless 'simple factors' happen at once when in this game setting, from people who react differently than the next, making it's own set of patterns.

The fact they got so much out of so relatively few rules, rules people don't really need to know and worry themselves about, kind of amazes me. It is a multi issue gameplay fix that is done in one big blast, than small steps.

No no, I mean I've been playing for 3 hours straight and get kicked off without any sort of a timer or warning to let me spend loot, get defensive troops in cc, etc. Just suddenly cut off at 3 hours. I'm not worried about a timer during the break, I want a countdown to when the break will be enforced.
