    [*SIGH*] Missing the 12 hr boost already

    I appreciate this may sound like a whine thread but its not intended as such... I just wanted to express the deep sorrow im already feeling at the loss of my recently departed new "best friend" the 12 hr / 1 Gem spell factory boost.

    I recently upped my trophies in the knowledge that the boost would end, and with this in place i hit 2800 in 3/4 days...

    It was great fun, farming for trophies with the spells boosted meant a raid every 40 mins or so (assuming hero were un-damaged or suffered only a small amount of damage from previous raid)

    For me this is how the game should be played, rapid raids to obtain whichever objective your focused on..resource or Trophies.

    The boost ended a couple of hours ago and im already bored.. I am now back to one raid every 150 mins.. And it annoys me to see my AQ prancing about waiting on spells...

    I was almost tempted (earlier this week) to buy some gems i refrained and im happy i did. otherwise right now i would probably taking on the new 4 hr boost.

    Anyway farewell my dear friend, hopefully one day we can meet again and reignite the fun times..

    I cant help but feel that a further reduction in spell time creation would be a good thing if SC are serious about people switching from farming to trophy hunting... Lets be honest the gemmers are still going to gem (re-gen heros / troop production)

    I appreciate that this would probably never be considered an option but think its just what the game needs..

    We wouldn't be missing it if we never had it! Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.


    But, yeah, reduced spell times are always welcome.

    Haha, I actually very nearly put that very saying in... And indeed i do appreciate that this was effectively a freebie... So big up to SC for that

    20 gems for 4 hours is, finally, good value.

    I got the final use of my boost this morning, as I managed to get a final boost in a couple of hours before the upgrade hit last night (I'm GMT+12). It was a heck of a fun dropping 3 rage spells as part of a raid, knowing it only cost me elixer to refill them, especially when I got about 350k elixer (and 170k gold) from it!

    100% agree -- this was a major rude awakening this morning.

    Being able to attack more frequently made the game more fun. Pure and simple.

    Low-mid level guys enjoy this fun. And high level guys who farm enjoy this fun. Why are people who play at a higher trophy level being punished? For some reason we have to pay money to play at a reasonable frequency like everyone else? Seems like it should be the other way around...

    Perhaps they should consider making spell build-times more like 10-15 minutes, regardless of any boost...
