Boosted your barracks before the break? Complaint here!

Always happens.

I want my money back! :rolleyes:

god damn it you beat me to it. I was going to do the same.

2nd time. All the barracks too. Supercell you have no idea how many trees i had to cut to do this. Please give me gem boxes.

I'm pretty sure that all active boosts are being paused while the maintenance is going on, meaning that you won't lose any time on your boosts. If this isn't the case, they should change it to this.

complaining, complaining, complaining, complaining :rolleyes:
ahahah unlucky u although this is a short break

They better fix it so if we are boosting we wont lose it

This thread always happens too.... You've been around a long time... SC obviously just doesn't care to fix the issue by giving us warning before the maintenance breaks. I think it sucks too, but it's an ongoing issue that is intentionally ignored. If they haven't fixed the time bug, I doubt they'll fix the boost issue during breaks... Sry you wasted your gems :(

Do they care about ripping us off with 5 mins notice .

Lucky i had 10 minutes left :)

45 mins short? I don't think so.

37.5% of the boost down the toilet with no reimbursement or pausing of the boost.

Hahahahahahaha

Its the second time in a row it happened to me, very annoying to waste gems this way!!!

Yeah started 6 lots about half an hour ago... Boooo there goes 60 gems.


hope it gets paused!

Clearly not, as they ALWAYS do it. Yet apparently clan wars pause so the ability to do it IS there.

Customer service from this mob is really poor given how much $$$ we feed them.

I don't quit understand how come S.C don't notice people before a break. Ect. a in game msg, "there will be a break in 2 hrs" - And in the meanwhile if people are boosting a msg should pop up - "beaware break in 1 hour"..

Clan wars is run on different servers specifically built for the purpose. We cannot assume pausing boosts on individual accounts is done as easily as pausing the time on clan wars for everyone.

I could live with 5 minutes just fine.

But next to no warning and 45 mins of a boost down the drain.

Really frustrating, even more frustrating it has been happening for so long and they continue to ignore it.

Feel annoyed and frustrated about maintainence break during your boosts? Here's how you can prevent it:

Turn off you device, think about your life commitments and responsibilities, realize how insignificant this is to the big picture that is your life. If you still don't see it that way, i suggest counselling.

You make a good point with the ability already being in place. It's pretty unfair to those of us who spend money to get ripped off because of maintenance that is needed to fix a broken release. It would be one thing if it was adding content, but the fact that we get punished because clan wars was released as a totally bugged system doesn't seem like much of a "thank you" for spending our money with SC.....

Or just disable the boost option 2h in advance for the update...

i never had problems involving gems and upgrades, but as the forum always keeps posting This stupid issue, there should be a simpel solution made

Sc could be "unknowingly" profit from sudden maintenance breaks.

I agree. Thank you for continuing to buy gems even after the price increase.

I don't know about other people but your purchase means A LOT to me.

You suggested people seek counselling if they feel annoyed and frustrated over losing gems(and money) if they boosted before maintenance. If you don't think its judgemental, you have to least admit it was extremely condescending.

I boosted as well... I don't buy gems so it was a rare thing for me... 6 minutes warning is not enough.

Awww, no need for that.

OP: I've been caught out a few times in the past (not today though).

I would have thought SC could display a little countdown in-game to a maintenance break rather than springing it on us within 5 minutes. Maybe a couple of hours notice would be good to prevent these issues.

It is very annoying. People choose to boost because they have found a couple of spare hours to play. If they can't play then they should be given the choice first.

Of course there is a required fix.

This is a major exaggeration, I know, but it is essentially stealing.

I agree it will be nice to have a heads up hours in advance.

However, my opinion still stands that this is a small matter and the amount of threads posted about this issue is a sad revelation that way too many people take this game too seriously.

Yeah ^^^ Also I was referring to 'fix' as in fixing a BUG. Hence my statement ;)
Ugh, lol just forget about it. Even I'm getting confused... :P

You could always check the announcements before you boost..

Also if u are raiding/nexting you do not recieve this message at all not even when u return

rather than add in some timer to alert us of upcoming maintenance, i would prefer if they would take the remaining time for things like boosted barracks, and have them resume, upon login after the break, opposed to immediately after the break is over >_>

lost last 20mins this break, not sure if i will be up when it comes back, itd be nice to get those 20mins of boosted barracks when i login after the break.

I have so many clan mates who does not use the forum and spend hundreds of dollars gemming and boosting their barracks. Your assumption is wrong.

I guess you could but the announcement is never 2 hours before the break either.

I don't understand these troll threads, why is it a bad thing to want to get to use something you pay for?

If a hotdog only costs a dollar and the hotdog man takes it away and throws it in the dirt after my first bite, I would be pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Its the same concept here in my mind.

Always boost while going into update.

never complain.

♥♥♥♥ happens.

wait til games live agiin

boost on.

gg wp

To keep things simple lets assume you bought all the gems you used for boosting (as opposed to the free ones given).

So you boost 4 racks and spell factory for 2 hrs = 50 gems

Currently 500 gems = 5 dollars, so 50 gems equates to 50c.

Now maintenace means u lose 50% of the boost time.

So we are looking a potential loss of 25c.

I can see why you are all up in arms about this :rolleyes:

Welp boost used to cost much more and there have been many times it has happened. I am sure that it is easily in the $30-$50 range for some people.

On a positive note i did spawn a gem box

Fair play to Supercell, charging potentially millions of customers $0.25 for nothing and getting away with it sounds awesome ;)

if they'd just resume the boost from the cut off time, upon re-logging in, itd solve that, and keep the customer base happy >_> and i think happy customers are more likely to repeat purchase

haha yes 'potentailly millions' but in reality on a mid week when America is sleeping and Europe is at work?

Probably more complaints on this thread then there were people boosting. :p

It's not the $$$ cost that bothers me so much, it's the fact it can be avoided/dealt with better.

Finding a chance for 2 hours of uninterrupted play for some; like myself is rare. When you finally get that chance, boost and a PLANNED maintenance screws it there is nothing to be happy about.

It's plain and simply poor management by SuperCell, and they don't seem to care.

If you paid to hire a venue for 2 hours, then they kicked you out for an hour for planned cleaning and gave no refund or time extension would you be happy? I think not.

Supercell do care and I am sure right now they are trying to fix this. It doesn't help when you guys bombard them with complaints.

Pfft, the has happened for every single maintenance ever; it's not like this is the first time. We bombard them again and again in hope of getting blood out of the stone.

its pretty obvious SC are having something to gain with ripping players off....like all companies out there its a monetary profit thing no doubt...:rolleyes:

theres absolutely no reason why they haven't done anything about it except for some easy money....this issue has been around long enough for them to easily change or upgrade their servers to support paused boosting if they really wanted to but since they obviously don't....the only thing that non-forumers can do is...well nothing really:rolleyes:
and the forumers just get a little heads up...

commercial greed here...nothing else folks
