I got scouted and was a little over cap so I clicked the buttons to put on a shield. I was taking a 5 minute break from actively playing. When I came back I saw thst the shield hadn't actually gone on and I had been attacked. Anyone else have this problem? This isnt the first time I've had this happen.
Sometimes there's a lag or an error message. I like to make sure 100% that my shield goes up before going offline, especially if I'm over cap. I've been getting lag and slow shield application more since I moved to a place with slower internet. (I'd put up a shield, it'd keep loading then throw up an error message, so I try it again and it works. (That totally happened to me twice when PvP was about to start)
