Any updates about the building upgrade times issue?

[dudeman]

Does anyone have any news about what's going on with the upgrade times? I'm trying to plan my next upgrade but in all cases I have four potential completion times.

1) Loaded Dice + Street Demon. Both items have been working for me for a while now.

2) Loaded Dice + Street Demon + Cobra Roadster. If the Roadster is finally working, this should be my correct upgrade time.

3) Loaded Dice + bugged Loaded Dice + Street Demon. This is the amount of time reduced from my current upgrade in progress.

4) Loaded Dice + bugged Loaded Dice + Street Demon + Cobra Roadster. This is the amount of time reduced from my last completed upgrade.

It's getting to be a little bit confusing, so I'm just trying to figure out the correct calculation to use to determine the upgrade times of my available options. Has anybody started any upgrades today? How long from start to finish? Do you have any faster upgrade modifiers? Which ones?

Too many questions? :cool:

Thanks guys

My first office building to level 4 took 55+ hours. Just started second ob to level 4 at just over 41 hours. Existing mods are dice and demon for me for 32.5% decrease off the top so looks like the ninja 25% is still rocking! :)

Another update tonight. 2.2.7. And I'm still getting +7 energy. Maybe it's a feature? lol

Upgraded a PT -> L4 today and I have the Loaded Dice..it was still 25% discount x 2.

Thanks guys.

If thats still true in an hour, and if the Roadster is finally working, my upgrade will be 54.4375% faster. Less than half the regular time.

42 hours for NC 3 ^ 4, so it looks like the Cobra Roadster still isn't working.

How long ago was the roadster awarded? Three weeks?

Well looks like they have completely forgotten already. I wonder if some of the support people have ADD. Walking into work remember what they have to do then...

Oh look a dog :D


...What was I typing? ._.

I'm not so sure about that. Sometimes you just need to ask the right question...

Hey ****,

Thanks for the inquiry. Basically, the people who track/award/turn on boosts are very busy, and sometimes it takes a while to get everything set up correctly. They work on all sorts of stuff for every game we have. We try to get everything working as soon after the event ends as possible, but it's not always that easy. I've bugged them about this again so I hope it gets turned on really soon!

Regards,

CE

That's from almost three days ago, and we can see for ourselves by the way the game is behaving that the bonus/modifier team has some issues to sort out. My guess is that they'll want to fix what's happening before "turning on" the Roadster.

I could be wrong, but they do seem busy. :cool:

I just noticed my upgrades are shorter too. My Gatling turrets lvl 1 to 2 used to take 3 hrs when i was working on them before (about 3 weeks ago to a month was the last time i upgraded one) and now it's 2 hrs and 15 min. The only thing I have is the dice though.

Sounds like the dice could (still) be acting weird. I wish they'd fix it so I could easily know what my upgrade times are. The other day I did my planned upgrade only to find out it would finish several hours ahead of schedule and in the middle of the night. When I planned that upgrade it worked out as a early/mid-afternoon completion time, and not having it go according to plan messed up not only my timing, but also my savings. Too-fast upgrades don't give me enough time to save for the next one.

Loaded Dice are still giving me 43.75% faster upgrades. + Street Demon = 49.375% faster.

The Cobra Roadster still isn't working.

Pretty neat doing ~80 hour upgrades in ~40 hours though.

I know, I need to hurry up and get the extra $10m i need for my NC lvl 4 upgrade before they switch it back lol.

Edit- I just read the normal upgrade should be 82 hrs and right now its 46 for me.

I got both of mine done in 42 hours. I started an Office Building level 4 tonight, same story.

I can't keep up anymore though... It's too fast! I'm only going to bring in maybe $50-60 million before that upgrade finishes, and that's only going to be enough for like an upscale, or defense buildings.

Lol i know it's way too fast. if it was 82 hrs I'd be able to save for something nice but now I'll probably just upgrade one of my PTs to 3 or something. I should be able to save about 40M during the ugrade unless I slack on a couple collections, but when it finishes I'll finally be in the $1M iph group.

What's the upgrade time on the office building to 4?

[dudeman]

Exactly the same as NC4.
