You may struggle as well. We dont get three times boost every 21 hour. We get 1 boost every 7 hour and unless you wake up at night to start the boost you would have no advantage.

What they have also done however is boost the potency of the boost from x8 to x10 which means: before update you got 231 minutes extra in 21 hours ( or 11 minutes per hour), while post update you will get 270 extra minutes in 22 hours (or 12.27 minutes per hour).

But the greater effect of this is that the potion basically is getting a boost from this because before it used to give you a 30 minutes x8 boost and after it will give you a 30 minute x10 boost which means it will chop of an extra hour more from upgrades than it used to...

Youre preaching to the choir. I don't live and die by the Clock Tower. There are many instances where I choose to not boost, so even if the total new boost ends up being less than what it is now, I stand to gain more from it since I don't activate it now at regular intervals.

My response about the Potion is to simply state the information continually asked about it in this thread is already stated in-game.

I think you missed the point. Technically you can get 3 boosts in 21 hours and 33 minutes. Whether or not you took advantage of what you could do was not the point... the point is that they didn't increase the boost timer, they decreased it... so therefore a comment like "are they also going to boost the potion" is a symptom of a generalized lack of understanding. The potion inherently got a buff, and they didn't need to change it for that to happen...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to correct you merely expand on what your were saying... about who you replied to.

Let me add the other quote to the post so that it's less confusing...

Aren't you ignoring the fact that they have increased the boosted amount?

It was currently 3 boosts × 8× multiplier× 11 minutes= 264 minutes boosted.

It will be 1 boost × 10× multiplier × 30min= 300 minutes boosted.

So the new set up will save about 36 minutes per day.

Being exact the current set up will give 25.4hrs for every 21 hours.

The upcoming set up will give 27 hrs every 22 hours.

New set up is better.

Unless my math sucks, which could be possible

Please re-read the original post I included all that... am I really that difficult to follow?

not saying your maths "sucks" but when being truly mathematical... a 30 minute 10x boost does not give you 300 extra minutes it gives you 300 minutes over 30 minutes therefore you get 270 extra minutes. And the timer doesn't start cooldown till the boost is finished so your maximum repeat is 22 hour 30 minutes, and yes, no real person can take advantage of the 1.5 hours claw back because of sleep etc... etc...

That's not the point... read the original post...

Glad to see a tie breaker coming to BB. I’m fine with the faster attack, but I understand the disadvantages in that. Personally I think troops remaining then time left would have been a better way to go. There’s been plenty of times I’ve been able to triple with some baby dragons and hero still available to drop. Maybe I’m just to low in trophies though.

That is a good point, I think I will intentionally lose a bunch after I have done my attacks for the day so that my almost max BB will sit around 2000 trophies instead of 4000 since it is now based on time rather than skill.

It isn't "rather than skill". Much as I dislike this, you still need to get as much damage as your opponent. Get more and you win, regardless of time.

It does disadvantage some of the attacks that are seen as more skilled. Not as much as many people think, but the perception will still be enough that some of those attacks will just die out.
