Boosters disappearing
I had a 150% lion booster, it should have been active for 24 hours but after my first match is just disappeared. Has anyone got this bug as well? (Not playing the stema version, downloaded through Gaijin website)

edit: No need to continue commenting guys I already said "im probably blind". Kill the thread please :p

boosters only effect a certain number of matches, larger ones like the 150% are usually only effective for one match. look at the description when you mouse over them. the 24hour timeout is only if you dont reach the stated number of matches

I was pretty sure it said 10 matches tho.

Oh well, it's not the end of the world. It are just some lions. Still sucks a bit tho :p

There is no such thing as 10 time 150% booster, it was probably 15% booster.
150% and higher are usually all just one match.

Really big boosters that are above 100% rarely effect more then 1 match, and almost never effect above 3 in those rare cases.

Usually the only boosters that do are below 100%, and the only ones of those that last 10 plus matches are below 15%.

boosters also consume more than one match if they go on long enough.

Some of the large boosters you can purchase with warbonds are good for 2 matches, but not always. They can also be saved for later use. Unlike the daily ones, which have to be activated within 3 days of being opened.

The general rule of thumb is that most common 'high end' boosters will usually fall between 150% and 200% boosted, it is just the number of missions that it does that over that changes. 75% booster over 2 missions, 40% booster over 5, a 15% booster over 10.

There are very rare boosters that go beyond that however...
40% over 10 missions.
77% over 7 missions.

But i haven't seen a triple digit booster that goes more then 3 missions myself.

I has a 10% booster that was supposed to last 20 missions. I activated it last night so it wouldn't expire and this morning, only ten hours later, it was gone. What a ripoff.

That shouldn't have happened. Few nights ago I activated a booster that only had 2 hours left to use, so I wouldn't lose it. Went to bed came back later the next day it was still running...

I searched the net and apparently people have been complaining about boosters disappearing for years. I have been playing this game for nearly 9 years. I know how boosters work. I had scheduled the day for grinding with this booster. It's now gone and I have no recourse. Boy am I miffed.
