I have felt this way for a while, but I feel that the difficulty in itself may be a bit too difficult to produce within a month. Perhaps there is some temporary fix that'll work in the near future.

This should be stickied, just my opinion.
to those saying they think a fix will come in an update soon here is an email from support that was provided by icekool17:
To summarize , they are aware of the bug (they have been for about a year now) and have no intentions of locating the issue in the coding or fixing it. But they assure us that if they happen to stumble upon it accidentally they're pretty sure they will fix it.Quote:
One of the things we know had caused more discrepancies were the update times of the servers. For example your village does not always show in real-time, but sometimes you might be looking at a snapshot of your village. This is also the reason why sometimes your clan troops might not be immediately seen in the clan castle, but only appear after a short amount of time. The other thing were visits to your village, which resulted in a slight "re-calculation" of the shield-time, sometimes stopping it for a very short time. If this happens more often, seconds or minutes can add up.
Our analysis have shown that the discrepancies are not that consistent for most players over a long period of time. The majority of cases only deals with a few minutes extra. Nevertheless, in extremely long updates, the time can stretch a bit further. Again, as for now, we are not entirely sure why this happens. As for the investigations, the whole team would probably have to stop doing everything else for a week or two. This would mean that any other maintenance or the next updates could not be managed. It is a very tricky issue.
The reason that our moderators and staff do not engage further in this debate, is simply that there is nothing else they can do, than to try to explain that this issue is not done on purpose by us. As for any online game, unexpected things happen. Clash of Clans is one of the first games on the mobile platform that uses the dynamics that we currently have. We will certainly take the learning of this to prevent similar things from happening in the future.
I would like to also thank you for being so active on the forum and trying to investigate the issue. I can assure you that our development team receives a lot of pressure not only from the external community, but also from us internally. I genuinely believe that even a lot of more pressure might not be leading to a complete solution to this issue, simply because the team is not sure about the origin of this, and cannot drop their whole work to investigate it completely. However, it is always good to put pressure on us by using the community. The community is a strong factor when it comes to choosing the newest improvements for updates.
However, I also would like to add that the bug-report has not been closed, and small investigations are still being done by our quality assurance guys.
I hope this e-mail answers at least a few of your questions. I wish you a great day and hope for lots of activity in the community.
they've had a year to locate the problem and have openly chosen not to. If they cared enough about the issue they could easily hire a team of people to locate and fix the bug so as not to detract from future patch progress.Quote:

Meh, I won't buy any gems anymore.
It's not about building time problem.
Think about the future of this game, it's terribly unclear.
1. The higher your townhall is, the lower resources you can get from raiding.
2. Building prices are pretty crazy.
I'm sick of complaining about this but..
Logically, their game progress is definitely harder and harder without gems.
And that means, waste of time.
I get alerts from the CoC app all the time saying, my troops are ready for battle. However when I go in game, there is a wall breaker close to being finished, then my last wall breaker in the build que starts. So it's more than a 2 minute lag. This goes in addition to the builder hut lag also.
Sounds like from everything ive read concerning build lag's, more than 2 seperate areas that involve building times are effective. Just wanted to make mention of what I've seen over some time. This happens to me everyday!
This added time still happens to me up to now.i thought they said "were gonna fix this".lol
I build my air def to 5 at 12 am but today it will finished at 3 am! Wow! So that we'll be forced to use gems? We don't even have gems to buy!
Btw, does anyone on this forum have 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.
