14 day shield?

I can support this. If someone goes on vacation they don't want to have to worry about having to reshield after 7 days. Though the gem requirement would probably be 170k. Pretty steep if you ask me.

Instead of a long shield, ATA just needs to have a vacation mode for players who can't log in for a certain amount of time.

 

We discussed a vacation mode a couple of times over beta.

In order for me to support it would have to work like this,

• Costs 100k gems (up for debate)
• Shields your account for a month (max)
• Month cool down
• Your vacation shield will break if you hit a monster, player, or node, start a new research, and or train troops. So essentially the only you you could do is log in to collect chests and chat in cc about how awesome your vacation is.

This would prevent people for using vacation mode to farm mobs indefinitely.

 

I was thinking something like that Tiashue, though my thought process was that vacation mode would end as soon as you log back into the game. That way there is no benefit to having vacation mode other than to be offline for a large sum of time. This would help a variety of players such as players in the military who would deploy for 6+ months, or players who are in natural disaster areas who have more pressing matters to attend to.

I like the idea of a cooldown period, but a month seems a bit high. I think a 1 week cooldown would be sufficient. That way it can't be used on a day to day basis, and if an emergency occurs it is still an available option.

 

Regardless of the numbers the idea remains the same. Allow players to have a vacation mode, but that mode can not be used to hide under like traditional shields.

 

The thought of being able to walk away from the game with no paranoia for an extended period of time would be lovely. Everyone needs breaks and has things happen.

 

You know they already have a feature like this already right?

You get removed from the map after a few days or weeks (depend on th) and are just gone... no one can attack u or anything, once u come back, u get a lovely shield.

Or at least I remember there’s a feature like this already... don’t think they removed it. I would propose a way to shorten the “despawn” time with gems or something.

 

While this is true (I dubbed it account hibernation) it takes an extremely long time to occur for players that are TH25 or have spent money in the game. For a free to play TH25 IIRC it’s about 60 days. However there are tons of edge cases and when probed for more information ATA was unable to quickly give a better answer. We do know it’s lower for small TH’s/ new accounts, about 10 days I think.

 

That’s why I propose a way to shorten the time for it or just activate it

 

Did you read up a couple posts on @Multiplat and I’s suggestions?

 

It would be lovely to have a holiday mode or something similar I think they should give 4 weeks a year for free... just like going on holiday in the real world.. they could make shields stackable that would make it possible to choose the shield time....

 

Yeah I did, you guys proposed:

- 1 week/1 month cooldown
- removed from map/shielded
- Stops once log in/Stops once u do anything besides chat or open chest
- Costs some gems

I just suggested that:
- we can instantly activate account hibernation with gems since that’s what it seems like what u guys want

 

And how is that different? You said you we should be able to activate with gems and I said that too?

 

Y'all weak af....14 day shield? 30 day shield? Get outta here with that nonsense. I want a 90 day shield, brah. Go big or go home. #MVIGreatness
