Bug - Attacked while shielded. Lost points.

Renquist

So, it's just like the subject says. I shielded (8 hr) to protect points, only to be attacked and lose points 5 minutes later. Unacceptable bug. Waste of coins, which should be replaced. by D3.

There's a simple work around for this annoying bug.
Right after putting up your shield open up the rankings screen. When you look at the player rankings it forces the game to communicate with the server which also forces it to register your shield immediately.
