New Training Grounds doubles training times, not decreases them

[Fanfas]

What seems to be happening is a bad calculation of the time for the stacks that are done after the duration of time of the buff you use.

If you notice, for those who have enough troops on queue to be affected, the top stacks all are taking the right time they should for example for 25k 23 minutes and some second but if you scrol down to the last 2 stacks and you check the time a stack takes it's almost 48m or more it's very wierd. BUT once the buff is done or removed time gets back to normal, so in practical terms the bug is "just" cosmetic because the stacks under the influence of the buff are being made at th speed they should, and once the buff ends the times get back to what they are supposed to be. So it's just annoying but we seem to not be losing time at al.

Then I made sure the units were under 12 hours and used a Drill Plan. This should have cut the time in half but it didn't.

No, if you have built the training grounds already a Drill Plan will decrease the 12 hours to 7.2 hours since the %increases are additive and not multiplicative. 1.5/2.5=0.6 and 0.6*650=390. Your observed time of 389 minutes is correct for a 650 minute queue without the Drill Plan.

Yes, the stacks in the queue after the buff expires display inflated time values, and revert to correct values once the buff is finished.

The training grounds are working correctly, but the total time displayed will be incorrectly large IF you have a buff active AND the total time is larger than the duration of that buff. I'm sure BB will sort this out, but in the meantime I'm still happy with mine.

Of course, I forgot that. You are correct. Thanks for that.

It appears the conclusion is that the Training Ground and the buffs are working correctly and that the reported time at the end of the queue is problematic depending on the circumstances (e.g. buffs)

Thanks everyone, this really helped me understand what was happening.

Has any BB picked up on this if the training grounds aint working right when a buff is applied would of thought we would had a comment by now from them as there is no point buying them if they aint working right

yeah, my support ticket said they are aware and its purely cosmetic

Same was said by BB person on German Forum - only display was wrong function ok.

I've been watching it. It does seem to behave as it should. Only the displayed times are wrong when you have a buff running. It self corrects when the buff runs out and the buff does speed things up when it is active. It needs correcting but as they've said, it is just cosmetic-the actual time is not the time displayed.

1 ETG
850 MS queued in Elite Barracks in sets of 25 (one set in progress), time estimate for last batch completion is 1d 22h 31 mins
Add skunk - time estimate for last set is now 2d 19h 31 min

They seem to finish at correct buffed speed but poor that the estimate is broken.

Mine are exactly the same, they do what it says on the tin but label on tin is wrong! I have bought 3 so far, was planning to buy more but I refuse until the powers that be can be bothered to fix this "cosmetic" bug
