Many gamers also feel that the Personal Break Timers appears to be buggy because the timer resets itself despite “CoC” players just waiting the allotted amount of time. Most of all, it has several negative effects on “Clash of Clans” players with regards to conducting wars and other higher-level play.
When Supercell officially announced the “Town Hall 11” update during the ClashCon 2015, it promised a new guard option that allows players to go on short breaks because it was meant to protect their village from sudden attacks.
The update was supposed to make the game fair for those who can’t stay online for longer hours as they are put on an even playing field with those gamers who are always online especially during attacks.
With the changes in the Personal Break Timers, gamers were really hating it because even the new Village Guard is a problem since there are instances that player are getting kicked off because the Village Guard still functions even when the player is already logged in to the game.
There are actually four major features that came with the “Town Hall 11” update to “Clash of Clans.” The Town Hall 11 structure is the most widely-anticipated one. It features an open top and all-white surface. However, it was not constructed very strong in order to balance out the game.
Writer, the reason TH11 update is a disaster is 1 )because they are combating farmers (players that get lots of loot by attacking dead bases). 2) no more bonus for getting just 1 star 3) no other way of getting resources, the resources they took out by combating farming 4) the new update punished strong defensive bases by making them get attacked over and over again without getting a bonus beside the trophies, no-one cares about trophies.
The personal break is not the biggest issue gamers have with the new update. It is the fact that Supercell eliminated the 12 hour shield that was recieced when a players town hall was destroyed. In a nutshell Supercell made it more difficult to hold onto resources a player had gained while simultaneously making players spend more to gain resources. There are at least four major ways they did this but suffice to say they took a lot of resources out of the game. Many people believe they did it in an effort to increase profits.
Completely agree with the other two comments. The personal timer is not the issue. The issue is what used to be a fun relaxing game, has turned into a stressful chore. Supercell has declared war on the casual gamer–the person who gets on the game for 15 minutes at a time 3-5x per day.
I’m not sure if that was the intended result, but with the update they are squeezing out the casual player.
I tried giving the update a chance, but it has just become too stressful to play. I have officially stopped playing the game, but would love to return if Supercell decides to stop hiding in its cave.
Personal break timer isn’t the issue. Supercell fundamentally changed the game by eliminating the shield for destroying the town hall. This is why everyone is quitting.
