Instead of being kicked off 3 times for 6 minutes

[clashcon]

This would be very helpful.

I have a feeling all this nonsense has to do with limiting the farming bots....

There is no other reason..........

So to clarify, getting kicked off three straight times for 6 minutes resets the 3hr timer? If so I guess I can live with that. I thought I had to get attacked for a shield as the only way.

Let's see this.. how much can you lose when the game kicks you out? If you have well spread storages, in order for the attacker to get a decent amount he should "be forced" to give you a shield so ultimately, an attack on your base should be enough to have your shield. Now.. how much can an attack take? 300k? 350k? Do you only get 300k loot in 3 hours that the break would "take all your work"?

No one was complaining about losing loot.

Anyway, we all knew this PBT constantly resetting would be an issue even before update landed.

Yes, this thread was even posted 5-6 days before the update happened.

As said, it's not about the loot, but about gameplay efficiency and availability. If I'm in a Clan War and need to be online for some time, this 3 kicks are very annoying because they let you in for so little time that you cannot keep up. And 6 minutes are not even good to get a shield, I usually need to wait at least 15, sometimes a lot more... This is a bit gamebreaking if you need to be online at a certain time, because it's cumulative and with no timer, so you don't even know how much time you have before a long 3-phased break. With 18 minutes it would be a lot better, because you would know that after that break, you could be back at full time.

Kick us off once for 18 minutes? Playing 2 extra sessions for 15 minutes only is pointless, especially if boosting.

I understand why they did it as 3 sets of 6 minutes. It was so that if you get attacked but not hard enough to give a shield, you have the chance to reset traps.

AIUI, you can dismiss the VG, you don't have to wait 15 minutes, so you can immediately take the 2nd 6 minutes by doing that. And then the same for the 3rd one.

I haven't tried that, because I didn't actually hit the PBT last night, but I am assuming there that dismissing the VG will also remove the 15 minute extension to PBT so you would get kicked immediately. If not, then that is a change they definitely should make.

I agree there certainly should be a timer on screen to show how much PBT you have left.

Have you tried dismissing the VG immediately after returning from the 1st break?

Suggestions:

current system Only 1 kick for 10 mints. (guard 10 mint)

current system only 2 kick not 3 (guard 20 mint)

no limit playing time but every 2h only 6m break. (guard 20 mint)

playing time 6h but kick for 20 mint. (guard 20 mint)

I understand what you are saying here but that hurts us folks that time our attacks for war. Couldn't we get an exception during war time?
