They are hitting you? I know with alliances, it could theoretically be timed - shields dropped, hit him now! But that would only relate to those who can see you. Obviously, if you are in the top 10, everyone can... So here's what happened. I caught a few people Shield Hopping for good points. My day was hectic. Put up an 8 hour shield - no retaliation hits, just a few random shield bounces. Something like 6 hours and 42 minutes goes by... Try for a shield hop and bang! 4 retaliation hits! The timing was "too perfect". I don't recall who they were or what alliance exactly - but I am curious to know if anyone else noticed something similar. The moment my shields went down, with a Fully Boosted team, a great 5 match green start, a ridiculous cascade and a fight that lasted no more than 1 minute. Those 4 people had time to retaliate. Not 1 or 5 minutes later. Precisely the moment my shields went down. This occurred a few times. I remember, because I was looking at the names of those high point nodes I was hitting, in case they would come back up later.

I don't recall well enough to point out a single alliance or individual. I am going to be looking at this more closely in the future, moving forward. Similar experience?
