So I finally found a use for my boosters! Shame they only last 20m instead of 2hours like the new ones…. really? 1h40m of difference between old and new? How about an upgrade for people with the old ones?

What do you mean 20 minutes? The flavor texts all still say 1 hour for all the boosters. Do they only last for 20 though?

The enchanted boosters now include the two new boosters in the selection of bonuses you’d like to pick, but they’re only 20 minute versions the new boosters. The old bonuses still retain their 1 hour duration.

I haven’t bothered trying, but can you use enchantment powders on the new boosters? If not then there’s no reason why the versions inside the enchanted boosters should have the same duration as the ones you get from the gem store.

The ones you get when you transformed boosters using the powders only last 20m… the other ones 1h. The new ones 2h. This is just ridiculous… so besides paying for powders, you still lose 40m of boost duration… or 1h40m boost duration unless the new ones have a new “powder version”.

I found the only useful 20 minute booster would be leveling crafting. You prepare all your mats, click the booster and power craft.

The new rare-quality boosts combine 3 boosts into 1 while cutting the length to 1/3. Three times as potent for one third the time.

The old blue-quality boosts (except Karma) are still available to select and still last 1 hour.

This has nothing to do withn fairness or forcing players to buy gems. Look at the new boosters and what they give.

The Exp on for example: +50% Exp in ALL modes, +50% PvP reward track gain, up to +100% bonus exp per kill – This combines the current Exp booster effect in 2.0 (Old one just gave +50% Exp from Kills), the Killstreak booster AND the old PvP glory boosters. That are 3 boosters in 1. If anything, you should be complaining that people get another hour of value from the bought versions.

I usually don’t say that but… Stop being greedy :/ If you would activate the corresponding 3 boosters for 1h you would have the same value as using the 20min version 3 times. It’s okay is is.

And the new boosters shouldn’t be changable to the choosable ones. So you shouldn’t be able to loose 1h 40min of value by trying to safe bank space. If it does work however, please just don’t do it. You’d screw yourself over with what’s probably a bug or pretty badly planned implementations.
