hooray to that my friend!!

Well, each time when i post about it, it goes forward :P.

i dont know how this sequence of days for construction goes,

but i would like to suggest if possible that construction days should also be the normal days we have here on earth but on game day its stop. ( im thinking your watching basketball and a sounds of saw cutting, nails and hammers etc)

i just like to say because a lot of us put money into this upgarde, meaning if it takes a lot delay then probably its saying our money are asleep because your waiting till its done only then you can feel your hard earn money coming back to you.

if we are saying that weather for example rain, or typhoon struck you and cause the delay better we put it where we players could see it so it be more clearer. rather us waiting till kingdom comes allows the phenomenon of our arena to finish.

i have not been following closely, but my arena expansion is stuck too.

its been 2 days to go for quite a while now...

I've been on 3 days left now for 3 days, but I expect that to happen.

ok thx. i will see what happens :-)

I've never seen this much delay though and everyone has been stuck on the same estimated time for 3 days in a row, including myself. I'll say there is something out of the ordinary.

I have had interesting arena construction experiences too.

From the 1st of January to the 19th, I built 85 seats (expected time 6 days).
I then decided to build another 85 seats on the 19th and now 1 day is left (6 days expected).

I think the variable amount is just a bit too big.

I think the variable amount is just a bit too big.

I won't pretend to speak for everyone, but I think that might be the key takeaway here... it's not a problem that there is variability, but what variability there is may be too large.

Here's a half-thought out idea. Have something similar to Staff for arena-building, a "Contractor". You wouldn't hire a Contractor permanently like other Staff, but there would only be one Contractor available to use for your arena construction at any given time. Like Staff, the available Contractor would change periodically (it might need to be more often than available Staff turn over currently.)

Contractors would have ratings from 1 to 10 which measures their reliability. Under the hood, these ratings would map to some sort of profile on how the work proceeds. A really simple model might be: a level 10 contractor might have a 99% chance of having the arena progress advance a day at each update, while a level 1 contractor would have something like a 67% chance.

Edit: Maybe even have another dimension here. Lower skill contractors could have much lower probabilities of advancing large projects (say, addition of more than 1000 seats) than smaller ones, while higher skill ones are proficient in all. Or even have a couple of ratings for Contractors... reliability and "specialty" (large vs small projects, luxury boxes vs bleachers).

Anyway, just thinking out loud here. This is probably getting needlessly complicated for such a small part of the game.

I've been pushing for a method where you don't exactly know when it will be before you commit, but once you do, you'll know exactly what day it will be.
