Vacation and Protection

[Briar]

When you purposefully enter into vacation, your account is frozen after 12 hours.  It would appear that your protection timer keeps running down even after everything else is frozen. It this on purpose?

I thought it was frozen for 72 hours. Anyway, no idea what a production timer is.

[Shadow]

what do you mean by protection timer?

[Briar]

Sorry. Don't know the official term.  When you raise defenses on your troops you get 12 hours and then 3 everytime after that.  Say I had 15hours of protection, hit the vacation button, troops freeze after 12 hours, shouldn't I have 3 hours left when I come out of vacation?

[Shadow]

Oh

I think that that is just for ease of programming, basically.

[Briar]

Alright. But can it get fixed?

[Shadow]

does it need to be? since you only come out of vacation by logging in, it's not like your account would ever be unprotected as long as you are on top of things. You can make sales while on vacation and such, so I don't think it is necessarily a bug.

What do people think?

i think 3 hours of raised shields isnt worth anything really, its not hard to spend another 50k loyalty protecting the net.

[Briar]

I only used that as an example. The same thing would apply if I had 75 hours left when vacation hit and was gone for months.
