Did they kill Shield Intercepts?

Zeroborn

I've seen quite a bit of discussion on the forums regarding Shield Intercepts, mostly talking about how it provides an unfair advantage in the game for mobile players vs. steam players. This post isn't interested in digging down that rabbit hole, but finding out if other people have stopped seeing intercepts at all. For the last 2 days, I've gotten zero while on mobile. Was this a conscious Dev choice or some weird bug?

*Edit: I'm on Google Play and a VIP player.

I am still seeing them. Not sure if more or less than before but I value them rather highly. A lot of extra ISO and HP so I hope the plan is to keep or expand them.

Are you currently a VIP or regular player?

Did you install MPQ from Amazon by chance? With the last patch they removed them from Amazon players because Amazon did not approve of their ad network. If you installed from Google Play you should still get them. I've gotten a few this morning already.

I'm a regular player and I still see them, though the advertising videos are a lot longer now. Twenty seconds! For 500 ISO? Really?

Magic

Regular and Google play.

And 20 seconds is nothing - we already had over 2 minute adds around BlackFriday and Christmas. Now my average is 30 seconds with occasional 15-20 seconds ones. It is all market dependent.

I play every day. No intercepts for about a week. Today I had two in a row.

I'm getting loads, I split my play to maximise the number I get. I no longer care about 4 clears in the best progression time. I do 2 clears in the morning and 2 in the afternoons as I'm sure this bridges some sort of reset point. If I do all clears straight away my intercepts dry up. 2 by 2 nets me so much iso and hp I can forgive the placement slipping down 50 places.

Still getting on Apple. Got 4 out of 5 giving 1 cp wach the other night.

i still see them regularly.

I don't see the difference in the length of the clip. I don't realize if I put my handy away for 30 sec or 5 min, I often forget to pick it up for another minute
