Builder Timing Bug? INFLATED - proof....

Im sure this is not being fixed for a reason...just another way to scam you to buy more gems :D

The issue with the timing has more to do with how you play. Every time you visit a base, close the game, check a replay etc. it adds small amounts of time to the upgrades. It's a well known issue that SC have been unable to resolve as yet.

This is a good example vid

correct me if im wrong, but while you are being raided, it puts all upgrades on hold. therefore adding the time it takes to finish. right?

Issue or design?? I play and have played hundreds of games with in-game timers, not one of which has ever had an issue with time lag/delay to my recollection.. Unable to resolve? Hmmm! You may call me skeptical! Of coarse you will get me eating my words if compensation is offered :p

Not sure if developers are Finnish or Jewish, just saying!

the credits would definitely suggest scandinavian (well, bar the odd few..i.e. I think I saw a zhao zeng or something similar once in there). Some will be based in the US, seeing as they have an office there.

I got the joke, but didn't want the thread to derail because of it... so dutifully brushed over it. :)

Lol ok, good job

Well THAT certainly couldn't be any more obvious. :/
Thanks for the vid.

I had three builds complete last night... one was over by more than an hour, one by 45 minutes, one by about 10 minutes. This is just nickel and diming me to death, and when I'm out of gems, I'm not buying any more. I've spent at least a couple thousand gems now compensating for this, and while it's my choice to start builds last thing before bedtime, I don't think it's unreasonable that the upgrade times listed be the actual time it takes to upgrade.
