Thread: Buff Duration, you get what it is right? No way it can be affected to go shorter.

Had someone complain to me today that my 2h45m buffs were only giving them 2h25 !! I told them to go shove itas there was no chance it could do that and simply thought they we're a bit stupid, the duration from the buffs itself were around 9800, which is 163 minutes (2h45).
Am i right and are they just plain wrong? I know some races get duration bonus's, but surely there's not a race that gets a duration reduction.

I have never heard of anything (short of a DB) that would shorten the duration of a buff. And your math is basically correct, 9800 seconds is 2hr 43min.
I'd just double-check the packs that were used and then ignore it as a fluke. I once had a hand crafted pack that ended up with a failure or something at the end which made that pack have less duration than the others. I was somewhat embarassed when that happened...

I initially did think it may have had a failure but then I remember i also made 200 more of these things and they've all sold and yet no one else has said anything. Thanks for your input. 
I'll let it go and put it down to idiocy.

I've seen the buff timer window be wrong before, but that was almost right after it went live.
