CS Purchase Notices....

[Milan Lame Man]

Obviously the problem is not lag or what exactly you do.
The problem is that these popup messages are shown for, per Serancha, 1.6 seconds each. So if you kill 200 spiders, the popups will keep showing for up to 5 minutes. If you gift 30 items to someone real fast, it will take up to, say, half a minute to stop showing up after you're done. Same goes for items looted, bought and listed in CS, boss & arena countdowns, whatever.
It shows immediately in the chatbox, but the popups are delayed, until all are shown, one by one.

Yeah, the arena countdown synch has never been great, but now it's just bizarre. Neither timer is correct, and you're being attacked before the cross-screen one says "1"

Perhaps I should clarify, the message shows up immediately, but stays on the screen way longer than it should. It should be a quick flash, not a 1.5 second hang.

When you stack these long-lasting messages, it just goes on and on. It is not a delay in them showing up initially, that happens right away. The problem is that each one takes too long to finish so you end up receiving the backed-up messages for 10 seconds after the event has happened.

i see exactly the same behaviour on ios. ipad 4, ios 7.1.1

Yeah, what happened is that the time to display the system message was changed to be longer so that messages would stay around and hopefully be seen.

The problem is that they didn't realize the timing for things like the Gladiator Arena. We'll get it changed back to normal in a future version.

[Serancha]

The CS messages were fine until the client update happened. The arena and TDM stuff has never been synched, but used to be at least close.

Thanks Sam. Appreciate you guys looking into this.
