Attention: Build Times

I think internet/wifi/3-4g connection also has some impact on this. I've seen people, where when they make videos, take more than 10 seconds for their loading screen to finish but it takes me less than 2 seconds. Meaning if you have a crappy connection every time you open CoC, you lose a lot more time.

Yep, that would be true IF my findings are indeed the core of the issue. We'll see...

BUT every time you log in, return from a mission, return from a visit (and someone attacking you?) , the server sync reduces the loading time from the build time completion.

As the shield clock is obviously not linked to any such clock, I got a feeling that it's actually client saved time, sent to the server.

My interpretation as an ye olde programmer.
So when the request to pull the data out is sent, the builder times matches. Problem is, the time it takes the game to show the village, that much the game looses every time. So when the game data is sent back, you lose the added seconds while the device was loading the data. There's very little one can do about, EXCEPT taking such into consideration and reducing the times by 3 seconds every time the data is synced (the average load time, which could easily be measured).

If this truly is the case, can I get a year's salary for finding the issue while the "professionals" failed?

this can't be it. You heard SC, it would cost a lot of money, need an entire team of devs and certainly 2 weeks of intensive searching.:p If this is indeed the origin of the lag, I think you should have your own statue in the game and a lifetime supply of gems.

Or a simple time=time-3 on load :rolleyes:
Time to change it in the code... 20 seconds?

Final result: 4:28 in 12 hours. Number adds up to about 3 seconds per reload of the village.

Well i cant not trust anything they say as you no supercell do not refund gems but this has been proven a lie, on Friday a friend of mine comes of holiday and he will post his emails of gems refunded for fixing supercells problems of time lag, but again they will say this is a one off even though we have posted proof over and over, since then sc have not said zip apart from that was a one off again.well how many one offs is there?
i am taking this case to i tunes to see if they can work out how much supercell has creamed off people from speeding up there time lag which has been running aslong as game and i have email to prove that aswell.

I tunes might be our only ally seeing as SC refuses to address the issue. Keep us posted!

I bet it's going to be an awfully big number when it's all said and done!!!

Here's a link for iTunes to complain

And since when did complaining to Apple ever help anything? :rolleyes: SC won't refund gems because there's nothing they can do. Actually, there's no possible way to get refunds for anything in the AppStore. The only way to get money back for anything is to contact Apple Support, but it only works if the purchase was a mistake. The only way to get gem money back is to lie (unless it actually was an accident), but it's a one time deal that you probably want to save for something else that was actually an accident.

If I'm not mistaken, he's talking about exposing Apple to a well known, documented and provable programming error on the part of the app maker that causes widespread fraudulently inflated time calculations on an app where millions of people pay to cut time short. Does it make more sense for you yet?
