Thanks Supercell for the brilliant idea of...

[fabstar68]

connecting the shield (obtaining it) just with the % of destruction. so, as the attachment indicates, i can be raided for quite half of my loot(witch is a substantial amount), with 29% destruction and no shield.... so i have made the next one happy, with all traps, cc castle and royals gone, and be raided hard...

so i lost more than i earned in a careful rading session

even a child would have come up with a better idea (maybe getting a shield not only with > 30% destruction, but even if you are raided for an important % of your available loot...

my incentives to go on with the game (meaning $$$ for SC ---> gems) with this mechanic about the shield ? guess what ? ZERO... SC say bye bye to my $$$ you are not getting any more of it

Shield system definitely sucks.

connecting the shield (obtaining it) just with the % of destruction. so, as the attachment indicates, i can be raided 1/3 of my loot(witch is a substantial amount), with 29% destruction and no shield.... so i have made the next one happy, with all traps, cc castle and royals gone, and be raided hard...

Lol they don't need your money.... anyways if u depend so hardcore on a shield, cus you are used to hiding behind it all day before the update ..... then this game isn't for you. If people can steal all of your resources by getting 29% then you have a real bad base and you need to fix it

[Kingjona123]

yeah its broken af

good for the trolls though

I can't see your base in that screen shot, but it looks like you've got a massive ring around it with all your buildings jammed into it. Not enough compartments is letting those armies tank long enough for your attacker to get to 1/2 of your loot. You've got to stop using this style of base because it's easy to steal 50% from even if your defenses are maxed. Part of the problem using this internet base is that there are a thousand ways to beat it or loot it all over youtube. I see this style of base 100 times a day myself. I skip it because of the league I'm in where the bonus is worth more than 50% of your loot so I hit other bases for easier loot + bonus.

Anyhow change your base and save yourself the aggravation.

please read again what i wrote... i said "quite half the loot", very different from "all the loot". and i don't know on what you based your assumption that i hid behind the shield before the update.... i didn't and i don't... but i cannot play coc 24hrs per day... i'm just pointing out that the criteria to obtain a shield are unfair and should be fixed... feel free to disagree.

thanks bro, my base is my design not internet's, but thanks for the advice. it's indeed a ring that focuses on DE protection rather than resources, but the point of my post was not in the efficiency of the bases but on the criteria on how to get shield, which in my opinion is really unfair and should be fixed.

Wow! Just look at all those troops used for the attacks. Lots of elixir and time spent building army’s just what Supercell wants. First two got less the it cost to build army, what a waste of resources

[GrandCthulhu]

You can't win a defense in this game.
If you win, another attacker come, and again and again... Until you loose. The whole point of putting my th outside was adressing this bad game design.

But in supercell mind, you should be sooooooo happy gaining trophies. Wow, so much trophies ^_^ I can so much build my base and build troops with my trophies. So important you can't even buy trophies with gems!

so i lost more than i earned in a careful rading session

And so the progression of my village (fresh TH10) came to an end.
