So absolutely bored of people saying you can attack 3 times per shield....

[kissofdeath]

Wrong. Town Hall snipes gave a shield and protected the loot.

So this has absolutely nothing to do with being able to attack through your shield its just another moan about taking town hall sniping away,

He writes the thread as if he thinks he's losing the 3, 4 ,& 5 hours of his shield even if does not attack, a 12 hour shield is still a 12 hours shield if you do not attack!

Unless you have dropped trophies all you need to do is make your last attack before you go to bed, then you'll get a shield and have full collectors in the morning to cover your first defence.

Personally, i think the idea of being able to attack through a shield is handy. It does allow you to go offline for more that a few seconds without worrying you'll lose twice what you just raided. However having to attack through a shield multiple times just to make a tiny profit then losing the shield because you needed to attack through it seems a little pointless. It's change for the sake of it, it wasn't needed. Probably it's had no effect on how long people are shielded if you take townhall snipes out of the equation. All its done is introduce a level of complexity that didn't need to be there.

Three times ? No wonder you are tired of hearing “U have no skill”. Unless you have full collectors or full stores you should be able to recoup your losses far more quickly. Or you could sit back and ride your shield while your collectors fill. Now you have a choice.

You are really complaining about not being able to hide behind a th snipe.

With clan wars available there's no point talking about skill....
Everyone who does well in CW at TH8 or above has some skill...
So please...
What's the problem in attacking a dead base for profit?
TH Sniping helped in progress
But that's not the point
Not able to find loot is.....
Or elixir to be precise
Gold and DE r still good enough
Its elixir

Who said you 'have' to? it's just a system that's been introduced that makes it easier to progress

Plenty of people progressed with the old system and the TH inside. I swear some of this forum genuinely feel that the game was only possible due to TH snipes....which if anything just proves that the game was essentially broken before if that was the case

[kissofdeath]

Huh?
Like village guard lasts like 12 hours?
Going to school is NECESSARY
whereas playing a game whole day is not necessary at all.
You play a game for fun not like a job.
Also, its impossible to progress by playing 15 minutes a day where u hv to save 6 million for one upgrade so don't lie...
Non sense

An attack takes 3 and a half minutes, so in 15 minutes you can do 4 attacks, I do not have to stay online inbetween thanks to being able to attack through a shield, so no it's not lies I used the new shield system to my advantage and progress more as a result of that,

Same thing attack before you go to school and get a shield that will cover you till you finish, no one works/sleeps/goes to school for more than 12 hours per day

i love this logic:

'in 15 mins you can do 4 attacks' ....my troops/spells/heroes take over an hour to cook

'attack before going to school and GET A SHIELD That will cover you till you finish' .... Dude that is exactly the problem!! Have you read the forums at all lately?

What if I have a 9am to 6pm job I can only attack, before going to work, during lunch break, and after work...once each

After I woke up...I got facerolled and attacker took 300k resources...so that's 12 hour shield

Then I attack, let's be positive say I found a nifty very very very rare storage raid of a fat TH8 gaining 300k..that is less 3 hours from my shield so I have 9 hours shield left...

At lunch time from 9am to 12pm (less 4 hours of my shield so I have 6 hours left) I attacked again and got lucky again and gained 300k...but lose 4 hours now with only 2hours left in my shield...

At around 1pm or 2pm my shield will be gone and someone will faceroll me again for 300k...but giving me a nifty 12 hour shield...but I am still at work until 6pm...so that's 5 less hours and 7 hours left in my new shield...

After I got home at around 7pm I attacked again...gaining 300k and thats less hours...so after 4 hours left from my shield...so around 11pm (while I am asleep) someone will again faceroll me for 300k...

Also, a very very important thing to note a base with 300k loot is getting endangered while people continue to hunt for them...a more exact scenario is when you gain only 150k while losing 250k...having a net loss

TLDR: Having a job that means you only attack around thrice daily, you can hardly break even let alone profit...

Getting a shield is not as easy as it was
So managing time like this is hard/impossible
If u r max at a TH level and have no/liitle/or just 1 resource, many won't bother to attack you.
If u have lot of resources, a higher TH level will wreck you for sure.
Where ur defences are completely useless

This is why it looks like a job. Isnt it?
Lets assume it takes 2 hours for u to be fully ready...
U attack
2 hours wait
Attack
2 hours wait
Attack
2 hours wait
Attack
2 hours wait

So its now 8 hours + attacking time....
Isnt it too much?
Picking up ur phone every 2 hours
Assuming u work 12 hours a day
So 12+8=20 hours

So sleep and other things in 4 hours

Hahahahahahahaha
Go have a sleep mate

[hpychan]

U can do as many attacks as u want 4hours after the shield if u stay online.

The problem is not the shield. It is lacking the ability to save ur loots.

I suggest you to use up ur loots when ur shield run out to limit ur lose. Put dragons on barracks. Put lava on dark barracks. Put gold on walls and etc.

Also use put some easy defense around ur th, so weaker attacker will attack u with 30% and ur th.

Welcome to the new COC.

News just in! You do not have to stay online and wait for your army to build!

I don't stay online for 1 15 minute session per day I stay on for 3-4 minute sessions throughout the day that combine to 15 minutes,

Attack> put next army on to build>get on with life, rinse and repeat
