Aztec temple bluff

[Tower]

Description says: increase timed blessing by 50%..
just got the temple and activated a training blessing.

TB is 1hr. 50% of 1hr is 30 min.
so how come the blessing lasts only 1hr20min?

someone at Nexon flunked their math class?

 

[Nb4powerup]

It doesn't stack with library techs, so out of the box, it's normally 40 minutes (not 60).

 

[Magnifico]

The Zeal level 2 library research increases the duration of timed blessings by 50%. So the temple is increasing the base duration of the blessings, without taking that bonus into account.

 

[Eddie F1]

So 40 minutes becomes 1 hour then.

Where's the other 20 minutes come from?

 

[Eddie F1]

40 + 20 + 20 I guess

Thanks for clearing it up for me... Zeal is such a long time ago I forgot about it

still feel robbed though

Exactly.

so why doesnt it stack the library blessing!? That means everyone thats taken time in the libaray on that is getting duped

 

[Nb4powerup]

No one is getting duped. The tech boost still applies normally. However, this event reward does not take the boost in to consideration.

Maybe it's just me but l remember the TB went from 30mins to 60mins - which garnered quite a few complaints. Now, if it's 60 mins only with the Zeal research, then at some point the TB was nerfed??!

Have l missed the nerf notification somewhere - or did this slip through without a mention?? Or am l confused about the original TB increase to 60mins?

And if people complained that the French training bonus with TB was op because it was additive - then why shouldn't the aztec temple's bonus add to the zeal research too?? Seems like there's no conformity with the rules .....


ps: just found this in patch 2.5 notes

• Duration increased from 20 minutes to 40 minutes

Explains it. After the update everyone was talking about ''1hr this'' & ''1hr that'' .....

So the description is wrong - 50% or 33.3% if you've done the library research. Bit like the extra house.

What was so wrong with a straight 50% increase, stacked with research then no complaints/confusion at all.

Nexon has this habit of adding percentages instead of applying one on top other - this can be confusing if percentages are large.
40 mins - original training blessing time
50% - tech boast
50% - Aztec boast
total increase - 50 + 50 = 100%

new duration = 40 + 40 = 80 mins (add 100% of 40 mins)

we would normally expect the percentages to stack (40 + 20) * 150/100 = 90 mins

They do this whenever two percentages are applied (example French training speed up% + TB speed up %)

 

[Furyan]

but too read that you said it doesnt ' stack ' with libaray blessing techs, meaning that its timer is set to its own time, correct?

[Funks]

Yes. In the same boat here.
