Commanders, be advised, the activated Sector protection is removed once you launch any military action against another Sector.

http://forum.plarium.com/en/total-domination/game-discussion/topics/total-protection-and-recon-protection------what-were-you-people-thinking--/1/#81605/

What were you people thinking when you released those idiotic new insanely ridiculous new options,

So for 750 crystals someone gets a bubble for 8 hours and for a measly 2000 crystals you can get a protection bubble for 24 hours....

Hence this game has officially become a game only for the paying players.

The money gamers will be totally unstoppable and the gamers who do not play with cash stand no chance,

who approved it and gave the go ahead for this feature to be released???

I mean your crystal giving missions and tournaments are stingy enough as it is with their puny rewards, now you provide the big cash spenders to be able to hide under a bubble 24 hours for 2000crystals. 2000crystals isnt much for someone who buys crystals, but for the players who only obtain them through the game play 2000 is a poo load.

You guys have officially turned Total Domination into a Total *****.

Commanders, Sector Protection may be a really useful tactic weapon if you use it smart.

It is not designed for being applied fora long term. In no case this item will turn the game into farming, as it has a limited time of activation and Commanders can't use other Sector Protection items until the current one expires.

You can use it on unique occasions. For example, Clan Leaders can activate Sector Protection while receiving troops for Joint Attacks without a risk of destroying their and Clan mates' troops by a sudden attacks. 

You can also prevent a raid of another player if you have no time to build troops or ask for reinforcements.

Or if you are spammed by nukes, now you have an opportunity to resist such spamming.

Yes. here we go again, as every time when we critisise some ridiculous new item on the game....

We give u all the reasons we think it will mess the game up and you reply with only the things YOU feel like talking about...

all the reasons YOU insist that make these new items so amazing and all the useless things that pretty much totally diss our comment or question and you give us all that bla bla bla candy coated advertising speech promotion of your new item...

I will be totally shocked out of my pretty female brain if for once, we critisize an item plarium has released in the game and you actually reply to the comments directly instead of trying to sweep the bad reaction mails from us your customers under the carpet and start telling us how wonderful your new product is.

 ... back to my original statement,,, this new protection item thing makes the game playable only by money gamers.

The rest of the players who do not buy crystals all the time and do not have an abundance of them are pretty .... (ummm how can i phrase this without being told i'm violating the forum rules )... unlucky (not the word i want to use but it will have to do)

Might as well make the entire game a money game and let that be the end of that.

Anyway.. no need to reply... i doubt i will be logging onto the forum to read if anything has been said,  whats the point of reading a forum of a game i do not think i will be playing much longer due to all these changes.

That's the point. Now u can jump near Emmiter, use shield and start to hit again and again.No1 can do anything against u and troops in your base.

Nice done. Only real Genius can make something like that.

First Atack/Def boosters, now this.

I think it is time to change description of ALL games - no Strategic, but Money game.

As i see, it is time for u to prepare for mass quiting.

Nicely said :):) 100% correct

write long comment then click on "play now" lol.

 what i say in genral you right but it's more work coiner against coiner and i explain why.

usually coiner who relocate nea emitters during PvP's hit heavly by nukes in most case they hold massive amounts of troops so nukes never effective in such cases unless some other coiner who hit with 100 or more nukes will do some damge but from what i see usually they hit with few nukes therfor take no damage at all so i not see some coiner spend 2K for shild when he can buy more units with this amount of crystals.

When u see enemy near your Emmiter, well nukes are more than 100. A lot more.

If u did not  see a  base geting hit by 1k nukes daily, i do.

Raids with more than massive amount of troops can reach in 1 min at any distance.

Relocate near enemy Emmiter and hit is 1, max 2 hits - then run away.

What i saw was 25++ days with 1k nukes per day.

So shield for day is a loooooong time for hitting emmiter.And not only 1.

NVM soon enough there will be more than angry cooments about this here.

As i say - when game owners become too greedy, game fail.

Saw this severall times.

And, yes this is not just coiner vs coiner. That will happen soon, when tons of ppl start to quit.

well this is the point to hit with large amount of nukes as you say 1K nukes you need to spend money 500 crystals(without discount)*1000=50k crystals for one spend.things that players who spend money tend to do usually.

now lets say the one who relocate near emitter use this tactic as you say and active the shild he spend 2K crystals for one day but what about other day?the one who plan to hit him with 1K nukes will hit him on other day the moment his protection over.

theoretically if other side are millionaire or a bank he can activate the shield for very long time and i not see it happend but there may play some rich guys here i don't know lol.

Just say no point to do so as one who plan to hit emitter for PvP plan to do it with bunker,massive defence or buble protaction you name it.

in the end of the day he hit by clan who emitter he hit\take for PvP.

Instead of finding new ways to screw up the game, like the bubble or removing Deposits.  Could you first please fix the dam things that are broken first.  

For example, the fact that you have to click back and forth 20 times to see Clan ranking in global missions, the Bioreactor always blinking (even though it's running) Customizing what ranks can see emitter stats, sending home troops from emitters without kicking players, better in-game message (that stay for more then a day or two), copy/paste in clan chat, i could go on here a long time....  

Listen Plarium.  If you want players to enjoy the game, fix whats broke and listen to the players.  Never forget the Customer is ALWAYS right.  You forget that and soon you won't have any....!!!!

Really Winters. What were you thinking.... This is a war game !  In war, there are NO TIME-OUTS !   Seriously.  You want a *****'* bubble.  Go over to FB and play Bubble Witch !!!!

AMEN :):):)... 

I see everybody talking about money grabbing...

But did you noticed that you don't have to pay them with Xtals. You can also buy them with protoncrystals instead of xtals. Protoncrystals you can win in tournaments.

The only way I would buy the Bubble, was if it was called Vacation Mode

VACATION MODE

1.  COSTS 3K CRYSTALS, FOR THE CURRENT GAME YOU ARE PLAYING, OR 5K FOR ALL PLARIUM GAMES
2.  CAN'T BE DEPLOYED WHILE UNITS, BUILDINGS OR TECHS ARE BEING RESEARCHED/BUILT.
   
3. CAN'T BE DEPLOYED WHILE SECTOR IS UNDER ATTACK, OR WHILE CLAN IS AT WAR
4.  wHEN DEPLOYED, ALL UNITS OUTSIDE OF SECTOR ARE RECALLED, AND PLACED INTO BUNKER
5.  CANNOT BE DISABLED FOR X AMOUNT OF TIME (3 DAYS SOUNDS FAIR)
6. WHEN DEPLOYED, YOUR ENTIRE SECTOR GOES ON VACATION (No resource production/tech research)
7. LASTS FOREVER (Until you click "Resume Command duties)
8. YOU CAN'T BUY OR USE ITEMS FROM THE BLACK MARKET, AND YOU CAN'T BUY CRYSTALS EITHER

Here's what I think of the current implementation of the shields :

@MrGringo (17 December, 2015, 5:17 PM UTC):
An interesting suggestion, I've notified our General about it.

As for your feedback on the bubbles, could you list some specific points on what you dislike and/or how you think they can be improved?

Commander, most of bugs will be fixed in the next update, In January. As for your suggestions, we have already set some plans for updates in 2016, reorganizing of Clan Stats and other Clan features are among them.

Commander MRGRINGO , I remember that such "Vacantion mode" option was asked long ago.

While Total Sector Protection is made to secure the troops within it, the peculiarity of the item is its short term activation period. Such protection is just another way of tactical weapon, for example while huge attacks are planned and the reinforcements are sent to a particular Sector for further Joint Attack.

Or a player knows for sure that he or she will be absent for a certain period of time while the Troops are placed in a production que and he or she is expecting attacks from the enemy. Anyway, the long term activation is not planned to be introduced. So, as before, a true Commander needs to be active every day
