who want to wait over 2 week to build something its too long
im suggesting to change the lvl 5 and 6 time of 7 day each to 2 day each
additionally the lvl 3 to 4 going from 1 hour to 24 hour is abused so instead it should be 1 hour then 6 hour

No one wants to wait for any building to upgrade. Who wants to wait two days? Why not make an upgrade take place immediately? And why should it cost anything to upgrade a building?
Learning patience, delayed gratification, and how to wait and work for something is important. if everything was quick and easy the game wouldn't be any fun.
Yes. Going with lower levels the time from 5 to 6 is clearly to fast, 1 month fits better. And from 6 to 7 1 year.
How much easier do we want it? It never stops!
I must agree. The times are there to make I more worth it and something to work hard towards. If it only took a couple f minutes, you would become instantly bored.Quote:

Reasonable enough to have issues with that, take also into consideration that you are smart enough to do your upgrades once you go on holiday because, you know...you smart....and return to find out you still have 6-9 days to go because the server shuts your island down after 24h, not exactly a positive thing overall.Quote:

In the end, I'm still waiting for that first game to have the brilliant idea to maybe just keep the upgrade time BS in place but still allow production at, say 25-50% so it isn't dead wait/weight....but of course we "need to remember" they are businesses and want our monies and that's what I see those upgrade blocks/limits as, cash grabs.
thinking about barracks upgrade, each lvl is being upgraded one time in any player's The Settlersonline game lifetime so seems not a big deal to miss a week unless make a really stupid mistake and start it during an event...
Actually best time to upgrade elite barracks to lev 5 and 6 (20 days) is during event. I did mine during Easter but cant think of event that it wouldn't work greatwith just using reg barracks.Just little planning required.
What would you consider a reasonable time for the barracks upgrade duration? The allowing slow production is a good idea and one I will be sure to suggest, might be a bit difficult or cause too many issues, which is why it hasn't been introduced.Quote:

Reduced productivity is a decent compromise for both sides I think but as you mentioned, by now probably something that the fresh intern getting to do it won't be able to implement properly.
A lot of this becomes a catch 22. Some are pleased with changes and others just don't like them one bit. It's hard to find that happy middle ground. I will be sure to bring up have reduced productivity though and see where it might go.Quote:

With the various wikis documenting resources needed for upgrades it's not a stretch to stockpile the needed resources before acquiring a new building, then taking it from build to level 6 right away. Since it's a building I didn't used to have, not having it for 2 more weeks isn't any kind of hardship.
^^^^^^^^^^This.
Concerning Elite Barracks, you can build it before you need it. Get it to level 6 before you use it. Problem solved. For regular barracks, just have to focus on other things while its going up.
reduced productivity would be reasonable yes
This is some great insight and help as to how to get a new building leveled up quickly. I am sure that getting the stockpile does not take long either. Plus it gives you something to do while leveling I imagine.Quote:
