3 hours and 45 minutes per army. A bit harsh?

im really just trying to get ppls opinion on spell cook times, not how I raid, which im completely happy with thanks.


thanks fette I will keep this in mind.

But that's the thing. How dependent you are on spells determines how you feel about cook times. 5 spells every single raid is quite excessive. You are quite greedy to be using every spell without even boosting and expecting it to be done the same time as your army.

Only thing I can get behind is queued spells.

they have gems options for impatient people like you, that's how they make money.

you are basically asking their source of income for free.

No, spells are fine as they are. Even when pushing, you should not use too many spells each raid, else you'll never be able to sustain the push.
You shouldn't use more than one spell during farming anyways.
The only place where spells can cause a delay for me are wars. But waiting an extra hour really isnt that bad.

So, overall, i disagree. Spells are supposed to be SPECIAL abilities, which can drastically alter the fate of a battle. They can literally make troops invincible to defences. Why on earth would anyone want to equip their attackers with a fast source of spells? And decreasing the spell time would obliterate the specialness of each spell.

Additionally, they are a large source of revenue for Supercell. I would prefer it remains that way. I mean, come on, as players we've slowly but steadily been taking away their sources of revenue one by one, waving banners of 'SUPERCELL IS GREEDY' and 'CARE ABOUT YOUR PLAYERS'! But you know, take too many incentives to gem away from the players, and slowly the quality of the game will start to drop.

You shouldn't need 5 spells every attack, even while pushing. May I ask what army composition you use and what your goal is (trophies? loot?).

Good luck pushing without using spells.

I agree it's very excessive. I know they were already reduced... so do it again. Way more people are playing at a higher level th now more than they were back then. More people are pushing with 5 spells and the spells that are used most, freeze, jump and rage, take 45 Min each. 4 hours for spells is way too much. Even boosted that only 2 full spell factories per boost.

It sucks greed outweighs reason.

I'm not sayin a drastic reduction. 30 min for rage, jump and freeze and 20 min for heal and zap would be fine. 2 and half is way better than 4.

you need 5 spells every raid when pushing?

[blackcaesar]

For me spells take 2-1/2 hrs minimum which is aggravating when War Army takes 45minutes to 1-1/2 hrs at the most. I would like to see them be able to que like in the barracks. Where all is done but one can still be training.

[Ratcher]

That's how long my spells take, i raid once in the morning and once in the evening now. I'm sticking to this because that's the army and amount of spells I want to use. (All 4 builders are busy).

3h 45m though? Does anyone else think spell times should be reduced?

This has happened for 2 and a half years. Learn to live with it like everybody else has.

Not really, I mean, this game is popular because it takes awhile to "beat" the game. Plus you can buy your way to beating the game faster. Gemming armies, spells, and boosting them, are how SC makes its money. Why would they want to make less money?

Thankyou all for your thoughts, I have added a poll which tries to reflect a few opinions.

thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

I definitely think that's a ridiculous amount of time to wait for spells. Luckily, one doesn't usually need all 4-5 spells for farming purposes, but at least making them able to queue like troops would make sense and ease the annoyance.
