Attack during maintenance break?

[Tudolt]

Hi there,

today something strange happened. While looking for opponents in the darn cloud (above 4400) maintenance was announced and attacking disabled, so I returned to my base waiting to get disconnected. When I was, I got a message in the notification center, that my village is being attacked. How is that possible?
Aren't the servers all disconnected at the same time?

This really got me annoyed big time, since I lost two stars and 31 cups.

Not quite sure how that happened, what device are you using?

Its very tricky of them, when they say attacking is disabled, it means maintenance will start in 5, because the longest an attack can be is 3 minutes. That gives a window of time for everyone to finish the raid they are doing, and log off the game. However, it's a different story in champ. Because, like you said "the clouds". The attacker hadnt been presented with a base yet and it doesnt kick you out of the clouds until the break officially starts.When you logged off, your base showed up for him. If you had waited till maintenance started, he would have been kicked off the game and no attack done.

Its annoying, I understand your frustration.

While everyone wait for the war to end and suddenly Maintenance Break give the opponent the advantage to continue on the war ...

I did not log off, I was disconnected due to maintenance. That's why it's odd.

I've seen this happen, even in lower leagues. you'll be searching for an opponent and then somehow you end up in clouds for a long time. you go back to your base and you get the message, "your village is under attack" and you think ?!?!? I was online?!. you just got disconnected while searching but it took awhile to let you know you were. like when someone does an attack gets all the way through it and finds out they've been disconnected, watch replay and it only shows dropping a few troops. sometimes when you get disconnected the game still functions as if your online for a few minutes. now if im ever in clouds for more than 30 seconds or so I restart the game to re-establish connection, unfortunately for you in 4400+ you're always in clouds and wont be able to "feel" when your actually out of sync.

This has happened to me before too. Thankfully I wasn't trophy pushing.
