With the new shield cooldowns, you need to track your shield cooldowns separately, as you can't see what they are while shielded. For example, let's say you bought a three hour shield, then an eight hour shield. During the eight hour shield you might consider breaking your shield and buying the 3 hour again, but you don't know whether or not you'll be able to yet without separately tracking the cooldowns.

This is really a compounding of the inability to buy a new shield without breaking your current one. The shield purchase screen is not displayable while shielded.

    Yes because of this many people have had to buy a 24 hour shield or just fight until a shield can be put up.. or lose all their points.

    This is my only real complaint with shield cool downs. Not being able to see when I can use a particular shield again is like driving without a gas gauge. Sure you can wing it, but it's going to cost you eventually. I've already seen a few players mistime their shields and drop from first to out of top 10 never to return. As much as I don't mind a bump in rank for free, I'd rather that player have the placement that they worked for.

    Jumping in here to let you know that I was discussing this with Customer Service and a few folks at Demiurge today. So, I can confirm that the developers are aware of the issue and looking into it.
