Players, how do you deal with this in PVP? You attack and win, and immediately your shield is up because you got attacked and lost in that split second. So you attack again, win again, and once again that shield is up. Do you just deal with it and keep going, knowing that it's pointless and your points will never climb?

SP, are you going to do anything about this? It doesn't seem right to have an element in the game where if I win all of my attacks, the only thing I can look forward to is making my total points go up a tiny bit at a time. Impossible to reach top 500 like this, so why even bother?

Win attack: +24 points. Same moment lost defense: -22 points. Repeat 3 times for total gain of 6 whole points! Wow.

You are lucky to gain points. The same situation for me and I'm losing up to 20 points per fight. It does not encourage fighting in any way.

I have usually been able to finish 3 before I get attacked and shield goes up.

Same, I can usually finish my three attacks before my shield goes up. You basically need a better defence that isn't as attractive to other players when it pops up....

...in saying that, I have been where you are and it is frustrating. We have asked SP many times to give a 10-15 minute window after breaking the shield before your defence team is given for other players to attack. It would certainly improve player morale if they'd do this - can't be that hard!!!

@david-ml

Exactly. A short cool-down period would be very fair.

This can't get any worse.

I attack, gain 24 points. I look at my total and it actually dropped, along with the shield back up showing 2h59m. But my points decreased by 2 this time??
Check the defense and sure enough I lost 26 points the very moment I won the 24 for my attack.

This is something else, SP. Unbelievable that I would be punished and have a reduction in my score for winning. Assuming I win every battle I fight, I guess I can expect to just keep on dropping my score.

Please do something about this. I used to get excited about pvp and starting to dred it now.
