I am not sure what the purpose of the Town Guard is.
If you are offline, it seems to effectively make you 12 hour shield last 12.5 hours. Not very impressive.
If you are online, it prevents people from attacking you - which they can't do anyway. Not very impressive.
I had an idea how to rework the Town Guard into something I thought would be more useful and wanted to hear what others thought of it.
I would much prefer the Town Guard work as a 'short break' button. If I am raiding, I have 4 hours until I am kicked off. Often times during that 4 hours, something comes up in real life that I need to be away from the game for a few minutes. After an hour or two, I may need to go to the bathroom... get a slice of pizza... refill my coke. I hate to set the game down, because I might get raided. I end up taking the game into the bathroom and tapping the screen every minute or two. Then I am trying to tap the screen while I am washing my hands. Then to the kitchen. Tap the screen. Get out the pizza and coke. Tap the screen. Put the pizza in the nuker. Get some ice. Fill my drink. Tap the screen. Now the real problem: I have a plate of pizza, a drink, and my game - and only two hands to carry these back to the couch.
I would like to Town Guard to work as such: When you start playing - nothing happens. After you have been online for some amount of time (maybe an hour... 90 minutes... something like that), you get a 'Town Guard' button someplace. If you click that button, you get a 'guard' for a short amount of time (maybe 7 or 8 minutes). Time enough to take care of some minor real life things that pop up. Then back to the game for the remainder of your 4 hours.
Thoughts?
