    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
    If you intentionally drop trophies you can not get a shield at will, if are in the right leagues you will get a shield as soon as you go offline.

    I wrote it but writing again for u to answer
    This is why it looks like a job. Isnt it?
    Lets assume it takes 2 hours for u to be fully ready... (with spells/heroes since u dont GEM, bcoz u need to be fully ready for storage raids)
    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

    Thus, i assume u GEM
    Another lie......

    This guys says he's in Titan 1 which means he gets 4 hours village guard on top of his 12 hour shield , that's 4 hours that does not deplete when he attacks, so logically this guy is better off,

    he says 3 times is to much to attack in 12 hours lets just say he can attack twice in 12 hours, 12 shield + 4 hours village guard - 3 hours for 1st attack - 4 hours for 2nd attacks still = 9 hours he can spend off line without being attacked, under the old system he's have lost his shield after the 1st attack and be open for a defence straight away,

    None of what he is saying is logical and makes him any worse off after the update, if he is in Titan 1 like he says he is people wouldn't have sniped his town hall they'd have taken his whole base even if he had no loot

    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...
    Logic is a little flawed here... For starters, 3 attacks pre update would have you barely progressing anyway

    In addition, you're assuming every 'defend' is a huge loss of 300k loot (in assuming each and not combined) - that's what, 3 or 4 of each of your storages?

    If every defend you get smashed, move leagues - or try a different base...like before the update, I raid for one resource at a time. My bases isn't looked at as a great target and gets skipped most of the time.

    As I've said before, people progressed easily enough with their TH inside before the update. You do not need TH sniping to progress

    I'd just like ignore what you wrote originally to point out that all your problems could be solved if you were to give up your personal life, forfeit sleep and attack through your shield.

    A real chief would be up to the task.

    Honestly, this , ' attack through shield' thing is one of the most useless new things we got. Makes NO sense to me whatsoever and is zero helpful.

    A lot of ppl like it , fair enough, but not all of us are either rich enough or unemployed enough to take advantage of this feature and that needs to be taken into consideration.
    It is not an argument, it is simply fact. You get a shield, this doesn't mean that you HAVE to attack during it. You have your peace of mind so why are you complaining? You have been so spoiled by years of getting free shields that now the new changes pop up and everyone freaks out that they can actually get raided and lose resources!? Imagine that, lose resources in a game based on raiding others!

    if you want peace of mind, ride your shield. For those who have the time, they can choose to raid a few times while shielded so how is that a bad thing? How does it effect you in a negative way if you choose not to use this to your advantage? You still have your shield!

    You then have a jab that anyone who likes this feature and assume they must be a wealthy gemmer or unemployed and no life it all day on CoC. Super classy stuff there. I know people in my clans who are very causal (I'm talking been at th8-9 for 2-3 years kind of casual) and they actually raid a few more times a day because of the changes. This is a huge benifit for truly casual gamers.

    You don't want to attack while shielded, you don't have to. Simple. So where exactly is the problem?

    Trying to use logic to reason with some folk on the forums is literally like p*ssing into the wind. People argue that the new shield system is useless/pointless/broken using lack of loot as a reason...

    It's like arguing with your missus when she finds it really hard to stay focused on one topic

    The most amusing arguments on here are those saying they now need to give up their life to others because 2/3 raids daily isn't enough... pre update, it was also not enough :/

    Stop saying people are lying.

    My giant/healer army takes about 30mins. I dont wait for spells or heroes. If I cook overnight, I can raid twice in about 50mins. The third army takes longer. There are people in my clan that raid three to four times a day, face two defences and still progress. Once before work, once at lunch, twice at night.

    Dude they r not bringing snipes back so u can hide your loot. U have a choice. make that choice and get over it. We get it. U r cross cause u can't protect your loot u have to defend it AND u get 3 free attacks to recoup it, but attacking more then 3 times a day doesn't suit your lifestyle. Maybe this isn't the game for u. Not sure where u got this idea that u need to b rich or unemployed to make a 22min army that costs barely anything to attack more than 3 times a day. And if your base can defend u would b in profit. What's your th and league? Maybe we could give u some advice that would make the game more enjoyable for u

    The more plausible explanation for his larger cook times is that he feels being online and nexting is chorelike. If a game becomes chore like is it still really a game?
