Come on Kix... Seriously, what gives with these outrageous build / upgrade times again?

1 warehouse is over 16 days? So that means 5 warehouses times 16 days each over 80 days to complete. 

1 Portal is 18 days? So that means 3 Portals times 18 days each over 54 days to complete. 

Since we can't upgrade more than one building at a time - that's over 134 days in just upgrades alone... wtf?

And, that doesn't even include the other things needing to be upgraded before we can even get to upgrading the essential items. 

It seriously feels like your laughing in our faces with all this...





Many of us players are already hurting here as it is - Maybe its time to have a management / team lead meeting to get a handle on this ffs, please...

    You know it's even worse for those without officers?

    18 days per WH, so (3 months minimum) days for all to be upgraded, plus repair times

    20 days for a portal, plus, again, repair times (2 months minimum)

    Combined upgrade time, minimum: 5 months.

    The building upgrades are intended to give you something to work on between now and the release of OP15, which should be February/March time frame.

    Just hang in there prioritize what to upgrade, a token every-week from FM, usually build tokens in events and eventually they let you buy upgrades with event points, its targeted at the whales but you do just fine without them immediately, that's for the top 100 :) its not a group you want to belong to IMO.

    Something to work on...like the FIVE month build/upgrade time for the Obliterator fleet?  Seems of late I have been really disgusted with Kixeye and where they are going with Battle Pirates.  Maybe time to move on...

    LOL, There is not a 5 month build upgrade for obliterator's. I have spent no coin and have fleet almost to X1 by raid will be. You really need to think about and prioritze your yard time. I've not bought a single coin in over 5 years have all fleets to top upgrade levels except conqs(little more pressure here, but have pangs done so). Winter Helios done working on longs.

    Hey Piratekiller_BO...you're right about the build times.  I went back and did the math.  First, the upgrade time for the fleet any fleet to X1 (with a flag ship) is 63 days  That;s verifiable  Set in stone.  Now, not sure of your build but mine is 16 days per ship which brings the total build time to 143 days. So, 4 months and 3 weeks is the correct answer...my bad.
