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

[Teflonsean]

An attack by an opponent that doesn't use 50% of his army capacity doesn't count Or reset the PB timer.

Go back and read the bullet points.

• Every defense that DOESN’T result in a shield will instead result in a 15-minute extension of the defender's Personal Break 3-hour limit and Village Guard time
• Every 6-minute Personal Break kickout period that doesn't result in ANY defense will also result in a 15-minute extension of the defender's Personal Break 3-hour limit and Village Guard time
• "Mercy Rule" - The 3rd consecutive 15-minute extension will instead fully reset the Personal Break 3-hour limit and trigger the automatic Village Guard based on League

You boost barrack or any other thing else only effective for 2 hour. While the soft force logout only happen after 3hour no ? and only for 15minute.

C'mon, please dont sound like supercell wont earn alot just because a few of chea-ter quit.

Make the play time 4 hours so two boost periods will fit. I have seen nothing that takes away from the stupidity of it being 3 hours.

Yep, would be a good idea if the personal break didn't kick you off the game completely, but simply put you in a mode where you can't attack and are available to raid. Even with the current 6 hours personal break, I Always found it stupid to kick people out of the game. Why not put a message on screen that you are on personal break, but still allow you to chat, war, change your base layout or anything else ?

What happens if in a middle of a raid, you spend all your gold and elixir on upgrades? Does the attack not get that resource? if he does, does that mean your upgrades are canceled? This is kind of a dilemma

[Niwrad]

This is a great point that I didn't initially notice. My understanding of this (I could be wrong) is that you're kicked off until you're either attacked, or 3 hours has passed.

Huge inconvenience for war, especially for people who have a tough defensive base that may not be attacked for a long period of time. Or, if your defense is moderate but you have little loot to take, everyone will pass on your base.

This would be a big problem.

Remember that the personal break only applies while you are un-shielded.

Made an account just so i can get a reasonable explanation from SC. Why ruin a fun game? Given this update wont affect me much. But this will ruin the game for the low levels. I mean:

1. personal break after every three hours
2. If the attacker doesn't use 50% of his army AND destroys 30% village u wont get shield
3. Only if you get a shield will the personal break timer reset.
4. Mercy rule applicable after about three failed tries on your village.

I mean what is a clasher supposed to do if someone isn't able to deploy 50% of his army and get 30% of his base. WAIT FOR 3 HOURS UNTIL THAT HAPPENS.............. This is ridiculous.

Mercy rule explicitly states your 3 hour personal break timer is reset, so you'll be able to attack again after that last 6 minute break period.

There is a big shock, increase your shield for these gems!

I might be slow in the uptake, but if top level players can stay online always, how are they meant to be attacked?!

The Village Guard is a replacement for staying online. Any player in the new update can do exactly the same thing by simply tapping their iPad to stay online. Buying the shield allows you to leave your ipad to do other things.

So VG is literally a god mode farming? Where u can attack but won't get attacked in return?

This already happens with people who do not log off their game for 6 hours at a time. With the new update "god mode" farming got nerfed to 3 hours.

Yeah, I see that now... So 3 snipes gets you back on a new 3 hour session. Geez, stupid and confusing.

[Niwrad]

this new feature is confusing, but i can see how useful its going to be to any clashers, be it trophy pushing or farming.
the big take away is that u dont have to be constantly online to conduct a push or loot session.

for casual players this is huge, since u can clash and do some other work in the same time. 2hr VG for 10 gems is not very pricey.

If only other people understood this!

Here is how it's going to be played in real life if your concerned with the PB.

Farm...leave TH out.

Make army...log off.

You get hit.

Log back on.

Rinse and repeat while playing and you will never have to worry about The PB.

Get hit 3x anytime during your play session...it resets to 3 hrs.
