Indeed, without gemming the game already takes 1yr to max your BK alone. You let him sleep, and that'll be 18months, let alone trying to keep your other builders busy on buildings upgrades.Quote:

So the next update has inevitably pushed this back down again...
It is NOT "solid 25-33% of TOTAL upgrade time" added. If an upgrade takes 14 days and you let them rest an extra 6-8 hours, how is that 25-33% extra?Quote:

Isn't there anyone on this forum who has connections in high places? Back in the day Jorge Yao would temporarily go into a separate clan to promote a new interview or whatever. Isn't there somebody who can do the same with a clan about builder lag? This way you'd get a lot of people's attention in game.
It used to bother me, but then I simply changed when I started upgrades.
Don't start them before going to sleep and the problem goes away. It really isn't that big a deal.
If I have to leave a builder or two not upgrading for a few hours it really isn't the end of the world either.
For a lot of players who use gems to speed up the last remaining hours this is a huge problem. They are buying time with real money, which they shouldn't have to buy in the first place. It's wrong if it's SC is losing money on this bug, but if it's the players it's ok all of a sudden.Quote:

Factor that possible overrun when you start the upgrade and the problem is suddenly far less of a problem.
Maybe they can't find the problem that is causing this...
..but a fix would still be pretty easy to do, as they could just reduce build times with 20 mins. per day, then it would propably add up to fit the shown time :-)
oh yeah, the simple hotfix is either, reduce the times wholesale, to cover the time loss.Quote:

Then they can take as long as they want actually fixing the problem...well, let's not say that, because they most probably would just leave it then.
I have complained to sc lots of times as my upgrades finishing in the middle of the night and there is no way i have started them at 3 am,there response is that every time someone looks at your base that time goes onto your upgrade.i have gemmed these so i do not have a builder asleep while i am.they have even given me token gems to help out(whoopie).
now last time they even sent me a list of every time i had used gems in a week and it stated at the top i used 64 to finish a tesla on time so how many do they give me? 63 they cant even get this right.
I have been playing since 2 nd oct and they still say they are working on the issue. Well last time they messed up in November and taking all our gold away from attacks we complained to iTunes and got full refunds for any gems bought.
i surjest everyone. Should do this again and maybe they will pull the fingers out.
think how much they earn from us just spending 1/64 gems to correct there mistake they are creaming in the money of us again and not enough people complaining.
i tunes will sort it when they. Are refunding money to players and taking it of super cell that is when they will to listern to us.
all i ask is conplain to iTunes and i bet this gets sorted
