Well. i also have a story about shields and shieldbugs...

Goes like this:

It was during a KvK my town was in the middle of the forest...

Last thing i did before i logged out was scouting a town, nothing there so i put on 2x 24h shields as allways.

The next day i had to go to my fathers house and help him building his new video editor PC so when i woke up i logged in to the game

checked the shield, there was 1d 6 hours left on shield so all was good, i logged out, did the trip to my farther and when i came home

6½ hours later and logged in to the game, i was zeroed.....

60m troops GONE, 8b silver GONE, about 13b of each other rss GONE and im pretty sure that my good mood was also GONE

all that was left was the smoke out of my ears!...

it was like the last 24h shield was'nt on even that it did say 1d and 6h when i checked it 6½ hours earlier....

i went to the support about it and all they said to me was that i had scouted a town, then i added 1 !!!! 24h shield...


So my guess is that sometimes as we all know, there is some "lag" in the game, and when you press that shield button in that same moment

the lag is there, it might show you that you added the shield, but it might not have been registered on the server cause of the lag,

so in my case, it only registered the first shield and not the seccond even that it showed me that there was 2d of shield applied...

so i allways! apply 2x 24h + an 8h when i log out of the game.... and set the timer in my head for only 34h of shield if one of them should have failed to register...

that sounds very strange that it actually showed 1d 6h shield ... maybe MAYBE you are mistaken about this ... maybe not ... just saying .... sometimes we expect 1d 6h and even if we see 6h we think we see 1d 6h ...

The Game knows that the Drop Sheild hack is out there. Two of our top players just had this happen within the past 5 days. I saw the drop shield hack last night it was used right in front of my eyes. One of my clan mates had a shield that was placed on 3-2 2021 and it didn't expire until April 14 2021 . So, they dropped her shield attacked her and she lost every thing. The same thing happened to me the prior night. The same thing happened 5 days prior. The game knows this is happening and they always come back with the same answer. Dear Jarl after a full investigation we did not find anything wrong. They are lying. 

In short, we invest our time and many their money only to know 100% that this hack exists and they do not disclose this to you before you spend any money. This is fraud. I do not make posts ..this my first and I have been playing games for 30 years. I have no reason to lie to any of you. You are probably fine if you do not intent to spend money or care if one day you will  have a strong 35 Castle with 45 million T7 warriors as me and my two friends.  This has been going on since 2017 and they will not admit that they either don't want to spend the money to fix this hack or if they are working on it. In the mean time is the game really worth playing when you know at any time someone can drop your shield ..hit you and then they somehow replace your shield. 

There is no reason to play or spend a single nickel moe on the game. I got lucky last night by seeing it real time even though I had already made two tickets to support and got the same Generic message they love to send.

I don't see anything related to the problem of being attacked while shielded since 2018 but I just joined a clan which has at least 2 members who have been attacked while shielded very recently (so April 2021).

  Is it possible that some players have cheat codes or are hacking into the system?

  Do the game developers take this forum into consideration and follow up on questions. Perhaps there is a more recent thread concerning this issue, I am very new to this but have no intention of buying anything if gold is going to be stolen along with other resources which have involved time and efforts to put together even when being very careful about putting up a shield on the town (which I learned the hard way by being attacked when they were down...)

You might find the supposedly unexplained dropping of shields in other threads which have a more recent date.

You do not currently,and I cant see this changing, have to worry about loosing gold in a raid.

As to the rest? Who knows?

They keep saying the check everything, and that there are no hacks, which is a bold statement to make,given other events, and that companys who run operating systems are constantly having to fix  their programs because smart people find inroads.

 ' In the mean time is the game really worth playing when you know at any time someone can drop your shield ..hit you and then they somehow replace your shield.' 

I found this intriguing,why would they drop your shield and put it back?
