Berserk boost

Is it just me, or is the berserk boost now lasting only 30-60 seconds or so? I make a few attacks and *poof* GONE. What gives?

 

I know it is time sensitive, but I think there is a certain number of attacks as well. Whichever runs out first, you lose your boost.

 

You are Berserker Boosted and have a 5% Attack Boost for the next 4 minutes.

It didn't last 4 minutes, more like 1. Like I said I only made a few attacks and it was already gone.

EDIT: I just checked again saw this: No Active Berserker Boosts

It lasted less than 20 seconds, wtf... made no attacks either this time.

EDIT2: activated another berserk boost, made no attacks, lasted 1 minute although text said it will last 4.

This really sucks, what gives?

 

That's weird. I can't check in Pirate Clan because there's a few players that wail on me every time I heal but I can see if the same thing happens to me in Viking Clan.

EDIT: I attacked 9 times and the boost stayed. It was less than a minute, but I now have no one to attack.

Wait, did someone attack you those last two times? That might use up "charges."

 

You know, you can activate the berserk boost without healing.

 

Correct, but I cannot test how many attacks it lasts for. And I'm wondering if axe slaps affect/are affected.

 

The number of attacks is not related to the time it lasts, trust me I checked. What I noticed is it lasts 30-60 seconds - without making any attacks.

 

Even so, the number of attacks could STILL be related. What I am saying is that there are two conditions: time and number of attacks.
Time - the boost lasts for a certain time. When the time runs out, you lose your boost.
Number of Attacks - you can only attack a certain number of times (call it "X"). Once you have attacked X times, the boost vanishes.

If one of those runs out, you lost the boost.
Your problem is the time limit. If you are not attacking (are you being attacked?) then you are losing the boost because of the time limit, which appears to be very short.
I tend to lose mine to the attack limit. Unless, of course, the time limit is 30-60 seconds.

With TWO conditions, you don't have to attack to lose the boost. You don't have to wait for the timer.

EDIT: Assuming the time limit is over a minute, then the attack limit appears to be 20. It is definitely more than 15.

 

No I am not being attacked I would have mentioned if I was...

Admins please fix the time for the berserk boost, it stays on for way too little time. Having it just for 30-60 seconds is like a bad joke

 

Sometimes people don't consider that, and you didn't say one way or the other when I'd asked.

It lasted longer than that for me. Maybe report it as a bug?
Why don't you activate a boost and attack as many people as possible? What if the boost lasts the 5 minutes it claims AS LONG AS YOU ARE ATTACKING but expires if you DO NOT ATTACK?

 

what if what if what if...

No what it. Go check it out.

I first noticed it while attacking some players for which I needed the berserk boost to beat - and after a few attacks I noticed it was gone already. Activated another one, same thing. Then I tested it without attacking anyone to see what the hell is happening, to see it stays on for less than it should.

So the logical conclusion is that it stays for less than it should no matter what.

I just activated a few boosts on a row, it seems to disappear after 1 minute.

 

I did. That's the point. *I* tried it and so I asked if you would so that we can see if it is a problem for only you, or for everyone.

BUT, if it is ALSO defined by number of attacks, and you use that up BEFORE the time limit runs out, then it lasted as long as it should have.

My boosts in Viking and Pirate Clan last longer than that. That's why I'm trying to figure out if you're doing something different from me. If we do the exact same things, but get different results (example: you have a short boost time and I have a much longer one), then something is DEFINITELY wrong. And if we get the same results (short boost time) then it appears to be a common problem.

 

The boost says one thing but you don't have that happen. I am trying to think of ways that can explain that. Since I don't have your problem, I can't test it for you. I'm just another player and fairly new to the forums, NOT a moderator or developer, so these are all just guesses.

 

There may be a bug with the berserk boosts, I just verified that the timer does run short. I will look into it and try to get a fix out later tonight.

 

Rum Boosts in Pirate Clan appear to be having the same problem.

This issue should now be fixed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
