Thankfully no. It only takes me about 10 min to do an AE from the time I land on adv island. But the constant zone refreshes are getting to be annoying. I'm getting them about every 30 secs or so. Though for me, I send 7 gens to AE. One gen per camp. No repeats and no sac waves. I went for speed and efficiency over troop loss given how "wonky" the game seems to be right now. And all I'm doing are AE's and some TR's. I'm not sure I want to try anything like WC given the state the game is in right now
However I did go to a guildie's island to water their golem today and that took me about 10 min or more just because the constant zone refreshes were freezing up the game. Plus was getting "Page Unresponsive" messages while on his island also
