This is still true. You have to use 50% of the defending base's max army size for the TH level in order to receive a shield. In other words, if you're attacking a th9 (regardless of army camp size), you need to deploy 110 troops to give them a shield. If you're attacking a th10 (regardless of their army camp size), you need to deploy 120 troops to give them a shield. Etc.
It's in the first announcement

TH 9 | Drag 4 | Wiz 5 | Arch 5 | Loon 6 | BK 20 | AQ 20 | Mini 3 | Hog 5 | Golem 4 | Valk 1
WH 405 | GG 568m | EE 523m | HH 2.504m | Nice and tidy 375| Sweet victory 3372
If it where 3 hours in a row, and did not take 63 min of unsuccessful attacks or non attacks (if I comprehend it correctly) it wouldn't be so bad. The idea that IF you don't get a real attack and or have to jump through hoops to play a cell phone game without gemming REALLY irritates me.
IF it where to kick in after 3 hours of continuous play and IF there where not this silly "mercy" garbage and just boot your for 6 min then it would be tolerable. But to tell players after being on 3 hours basically randomly (assuming u are not attacked) will be extra annoying. If the game is annoying as it sounds it will be I will indeed quit and the $20 gem purchase I made last week (why I Now regret) will be my last..
i could care less about trophies as I'm not a max base yet (still have some lvl 11 walls and bk is 31 and aq is going to 39)
now with th11 I would plan to farm to max there.. However, if u can't even be a farmer without random interruptions I won't play anymore.
Lastley, all sneak peeks so far seem to be anti farmer / war clan player and will be off putting to many coc serious players
Explain these "random "interruptions..
3 Hour "Personal Timer" is ludicrous
