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

[golferhone]

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.

Makes sense... The 50% army comp needed to get a shield was the confusion. No qualifier for attacks to trigger the PB timer reset.

1- this personal break thing is just... Ugh no

2- if titans 1/legends cant be attacked now, how in the world will they increase their trophies?
I probably misunderstood this part, either that or you guys are hiding something else from us

so far worst sneak peek i had ever seen.

V.G. only delays how much longer they can stay unattacked while offline before they are attacked. They will be attacked once their personal break timer expires or they are offline without a village guard.

No doubt confusing...took me half the day to wrap my head around it!! Lol

What if you dont get attacked properly (50% attacker army with 30% destruction). you will wait 3 hours for personal timer to reset???

The Mercy Rule applies and after three attacks that don't give you a shield, your personal timer resets and you get another three hours to play.

All this talk about shields and PB just sounds like NO ONE will be off a shield, EVER. Yeah 6 min every now and then, but still. Will there even be enough people to attack or will we be looking at the clouds the whole time?

And, what happens when war is about to end and the top guys are waiting to attack in the clutch, and oops, personal break? You lose! You know it will happen. A lot.

So far, the first 2 updates seem geared to make you NOT play, and stay out of the game by riding your shield and PB. I thought they wanted people to be playing as much as possible. Isn't that the point to a successful game? To get people to play it?

I'm not 100% sure with all this but I think I have got it.

What will this do to war players? What if you get kicked towards the end of a war and you have to wait for 3 attacks on you with that 15 min of extra shield in between each? Is it now possible it miss your war attack because of this shield thing?

During war many players like to stay online to watch attacks and such so getting 3 hours of cumulative time is easy to do on war day.....

Please address this question!

15 minutes is enough to get your war attack in.

Village Guard in low leagues will actually help you. If you attack, go offline and are attacked you get a 15min VG to rearm traps and CC if you weren't shielded (under 30% damage). This is actually awesome and prevents your base from being repetitively attacked. The 3hrs thing is the time you can stay online without being kicked off for 6mins. Nothing more.

It won't help if you want a shield while you sleep. You could get hit and defend 2-3 times and not get a shield using up your traps and CC troops. Doesn't seem like a good plan especially for people who raid at night before bed.

I'm hoping supercell includes a free slide rule for figuring out this update. Normally I understand at least what's trying to be accomplished with an update. This one's ridiculous.

The village guard is meant to be a replacement for having to tend your iPad in order to stay online. Remember the story of Jorge Yao taking iPads into the shower during a push session so his bases won't be attacked? Now with V.G. protecting your bases for 15 minutes or longer while you're offline, you can be a normal human being again!

The village guard concept isn't bad as far as I can see but to be honest, it is very complicated. I mean a 'Mercy rule' for third time you get Personal Break timer? That's ridiculous and pretty complicated to understand. It is also too specific. By the way, it isn't fair that people from 0-4100 trophy range get the same amount of VG shielding which is relatively very short to what Titans and Legends are getting
