How can you or I be offended because we do not understand each other? What a strange thought. I am certainly not offended, I think we are talking about the same and I understand you.

The terms beforehand: real time = online / internet time; Device clock = offline (or online)

To the clock of talismans. Please don't be frustrated, you are on the right path as you orientate yourself at your desk guardian and trophies to understand which time/clock is relevant to the lifetime of the talismans, even if you've figured it out a little the other way. So let me try to explain ...

What happens to your talismans when you are offline? If it were tied to the Internet clock and how your desk guardian works, it shouldn't be possible to use it offline, just as you can't collect your trophies and desk guardian when you're offline. So the time of the talismans refers to your device's clock. This makes sense, considering that players should have the opportunity to play offline with talismans. The energy regeneration is also based on the clock of your device. The ability to extend talismans until the last update made it possible for players to restore their energy while using talismans.

What if talismans were now running based on real-time / Internet time? Your thought seemed to be that the talisman would behave like the trophies and the desk guardian, and without loosing your talisman you could go one day forward based on the device clock to replenish your energy. I understand that and it would have been a nice mistake by MyT. But as you've already realized, talismans do not run in real time and if they did, MyT would make sure that the energy regeneration is based on the internet clock too.

To the origin of your conclusion that talismans are now running in real time, because you can't extend them if you go backwards. We now know that real time has no effect on the duration of talismans. So maybe MyT changed the counter of the talismans? Yes, they have. The duration of the talismans is no longer oriented to the start time, if you move backwards, but always keeps the remaining time / difference. So you can't assign your talismans a new start time in the past, but you will continue to play with the remaining time. No reset, even if the runtime is still device related, simply because the reference is now different than before and absolutely no matter whether online or offline. And sorry, but MyT hasn't taken the best of both worlds.

I hope you understand my explanation. And yes, there are things in the game that are based on the internet time if you're online, and once you're offline, look for the device time. So always a worthwhile thought to consider all possible variants. Let's not talk about further possible conclusions for the future, but in the end, of course, MyT can fix what gaps are left for cheats and they can any time close or change these gaps.
