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

[Mswan2000]

most over engineered mess of a system i've ever seen.. Have you guys forgotten a) this is a game and b) its played on mobile devices? people like to just pick up and play, not have to calculate that they can play for exactly xxx minutes before getting booted out

So far have not seen anything that would encourage me to buy gems. Yes there is a new option for those eager gemmers to spend their gems but for me as a eager clasher not so much. I can afford to take a small break and usually I take those breaks anyway even without the game forcing them.

^ This. Just this nothing more needs to be said.

"A player is forced offline for 6 minutes after 3 hours of cumulative online time (or Village Guard time) without shield". please someone explain it to me. Is it straight 3 hr online or total 3 hr online in a day.

It looks like 3 hours per day like bb.

What is going on here ×_×

They say if you play 3hr in acumulative you take a break for 6 minutes. do you think it s bad this ?

Yep, when current boost least for 2 hours you will not be able to boost twice in a row without additional fee for personal guard (or whatever it is called).

I really don't understand why people saying this is going to force all players to become gemmers? If you don't want the extra 2 hours of VG time, simply don't spend the 10 gems, let your base come up for attack and get a defense in. Viola, PBT and VG reset and you're free to play again.

The only people who are going to HAVE to gem are those who insist on NEVER being attacked, ever.

But I don't play any musical instrument. 😳

Not sure I'm reading this right. If I boost 2x in a row, I'll get kicked halfway through the second boost. When I return, I'll have to break my shield (if one was earned) to resume the rest of my boost--opening myself up to another potential attack. Doesn't seem right.

If this is the case, can there be a timer somewhere showing us how long we have until we get kicked off for the break so we don't waste boosts?

Correct, so if you want to boost for 4 hrs it's going to cost you an extra 10 gems to buy a 2 hr extension to person break/village guard timer

How is this going to help the clouds issue in the high leagues. Now titan1 and legends are basically invulnerable except for personal breaks... I don't see how this fixes any of the problems in this game.... Maybe the next sneak peeks will explain it better but for the time being I'm pretty confused and disappointed.

If you're having trouble understanding this, go to YouTube and watch Godson or Galadon. They explain it a lot better.

This i roughly how I expect it to go:

Step 1: The casual players will quit
Step 2: The farmers will enjoy their loot, but when their bases disappear from the loot pool, causing them to quit.
Step 3: Only pushers are left, the ones who are not willing to pay several thousands of Dollars per month will quit.
Step 4: 80% of the community will have quit, leaving 20% of satisfied, paying customers.
Step 5: These 20% suddenly realize that the game is no longer competitive enough due to the lack of the mass of players, and they will quit.

Have fun at ClashCon 2 SuperCell! I think you'll be rather lonely...

I Also have a theory on this update. Each sneak peek will be met by people whining about it. The rest of us will get on and enjoy the game.
