Hello folks, Gree recently undid their building upgrade time mistake and times were returned to what they supposedly should be. Before this I had received the roadster but the bonus didn't work.

The times are the same as they were without the roadster bonus.

Can anyone check their Gatling gun upgrade times? Say level 4 to 5? My 4-5 takes 14 hours 28 minutes and some second for me. I have the roadster, street demon, and the loaded dice, and by my calculations this upgrade should be 12 hours 45 minutes and 36 seconds. 39.25% time reduction.

If the times are the same for people with the same bonuses as mine, I will simply accept it, if not, Gree and I have business.

Gree and all 25 (26?) Cobra Roadster owners have business.

I have the same three bonus items you have, and still only have a 32.5% faster upgrade and not the 39.25% faster I should have.

That Cobra Roadster has been sitting in my inventory for 27 days. I have been repeatedly reassured that the engineers are being bugged about this multiple times each day.

It would be great if they got it working any day now. I haven't wasted more than a couple hours of upgrade time since receiving the Roadster, 10% of 27 days = 2.7 days of upgrade time lost due to a non-functional earned bonus.

Ok so it sounds like its not just me. Gonna reopen my ticket then. Upgrade times are definitely not what they should be with the roadster. Dudeman, are my calculations about what the time should be on that particular upgrade correct? Can you verify?

By my calculation, GT 4>5 takes ~21.43 hours unmodified.

Loaded dice + street demon = ~14.47 hours for the upgrade.

Factoring in the roadster, the new time should be ~13.02 hours.

Your calculations align with mine except for the 13 hours, but either way, we aren't getting a bonus we are owed. Not sure how you get 13 and I get 12,45,36...

21.43-39.25%

Or

14.47-10%=14.47-~1.45=13.02

Fun while it lasted. I should have known Gree would fix something like this VERY quickly while letting things like the android loot issue fester for months. Got an NC from 6 to 8, another one from 5 to 6, and a MT from 7 to 8 before they fixed it.

Hey guys, we have in fact been looking into this one, and it has turned out to be really weird.

Those of you on iOS who aren't seeing the bonus: what kind of devices are you playing on?

iPhone 4 here CJ.

I have an iPad 2.

Edit: Do any other Roadster owners agree that it would be sweet if the 10% bonus were boosted once the modifier gets working? I think that would be cool. I was starting to get used to the nearly 50% faster upgrades I was doing while the Dice were bugged.

:cool:

I agree sir, they owe us a lot of time since our bonus has been withheld for so long.

iPhone 4S,

I don't necessarily feel owed anything, it's already pretty cool that I got the Roadster.

Sucks that it hasn't been working for 28 days now (yes, I am counting the days!), but based on the emails I've received from support I do feel confident that they're working on it.

If it's taking this long it must be something really weird, like CJ says ^.

I've waited much longer for issues to be resolved. Just because it takes a long time doesn't mean the issue is being ignored.

Yeah, it's weird. We think we know what is going on* and will release a fix next data-push.

*If not, we'll look at it again. Either way I'll have an update after the push.

I too am thankful I was given the roadster, I am not angry they put the times back. I look forward to the bonus reflecting properly. I am hoping more time and income bonuses can come to those to earn them with great hoods.

Thank you CJ for your direct attention on this.

I'm looking at my upgrade times right now, and everything available is 39.25% faster than the unmodified time.

The Cobra Roadster is fueled up and ready to roll!

:cool:

If you can believe it, this was due to misuse of the definite article (aka "the").

Which actually puts it at a mere 3 on the Weird Scale, with #10 being a tie between a bug that was caused by using Starbucks wireless and a bug that required wandering around in a subway station to solidly reproduce. Developing for mobile never gets boring.

Well Mr. Ramshutu, eat your words (from that other post I deleted). :p

Hey CJ...

Were my rivals receiving the boost, possibly more than once, while those intended to have the boost were not receiving it?

If not, forget I said anything.

If yes, then what the hell man?!

I'm pretty sure that's a no. And it wasn't that the boost was applying to the wrong item so much that it was added halfway to two items and didn't work for either (but looked like it was working from here). Like I said... weird.

That's good to hear.

Forgive me if I'm slightly less than believing though.

Some of the other support staff likes to take your good reputation and toss it in the toilet. If you want to know more about that go look at the "item for level 3 in monster whatever" thread.
