No to shield buster
I write this as a loyal Sims buildit player. Spend countless hours and real dollars. Sims does not care about us. We give them our time and money. And they slap us in the face, while forcing us to c...

There used to be 3 ways to play war:
1. Casually, not caring about the outcome
2. Good strategy at the start
3. Hack
Because of shield buster method #2 is now dead. War will now cultivate players who don’t care or who are hackers. Game over for the competitive, legit player.
As a long time adult player of Simcity Buildit, I totally agree. The game has been dummied down and there is no longer any strategy to the game with the Shield Buster. Those who whined about being domed are too dumb to realize that there was a strategy. NOT HAPPY! Get rid of the Shield Buster. I refuse to spend any more money on the game until it is gone.
Another one of those claiming “if you hate shields, you must be too dumb to know strategy” guy lol
Yes, I hate shields. But I can cut and paste my reply on another thread to show you that I most probably know about strategies more than you, you know.
Don’t assume. Just because I don’t employ shields to score wins doesn’t mean I don’t know how to use them.
@J6niceLYes, you may have. Ed spends money. Not hacker. He runs out of stuff. Not 50 MBs. Who knows if you won. We have lost 2 times in last month.. mostly cause 3 people with level 15 mag and monster will beat one guy with it.
We run out of stuff. We work and go to school and have families.
When I say shorter wars would be helpful I mean it. Shields while annoying shortened the game and allowed a life.
Yes, teams with 9 feeder cities will lose now maybe. But when you don't have them. They pick the weakest city and bring em back, and kill them again and again at will now.
Hacker or not, what is the point in even trying against a team where one guy does 50 MBs?
Anyways. Doesn't seem anyone truly favors the shield buster. Or they haven't had it used on them yet.
I get it, but limit the use, or shorten the wars so when we lose by 100k in first hour we can move on faster than 36 hours plus 12...
Maybe they want people without a life.I didn’t think Ed is a hacker, btw. A hacker will either form his own club with 9 feeders or join a likeminded hacker club to easily demolish the opponents. I don’t think most legit teams will want a hacker to join them anyway.
Yes, I do think that war is way too long. I had mentioned it several times before on this forum. Even with shield buster, for the last three wars, the activity on both sides dropped significantly 18 hours later as lots of us had gotten our chests and we were running low on war stuff. Since there is no hiding, the period near end of war has become pretty peaceful actually. So long hours of war is really pointless, even with the introduction of shield buster.
One way to counter opponent using shield buster due to wanting to maximize active jackpot on a just shielded city is to put dud or umbrella.
But still I think need to limit the usage of shield buster. And make the cities impenetrable to shield buster for one hour right after being shielded (this can be indicated by change in the colour of the shield).
