Running out of Time

Has anyone else noticed that more and more people are running the clock down to the last second on every move? What is the point of this, I mean I know it doesnt take 4 mins to discard, are they doing it to make me leave or what?

Maybe they're doing something else in another browser.

Re : Running out of Time

I really wish they would take the timer down to 30 seconds or so. It does not require 2 minutes for every move to think of which card to play. Some people have told me they do stuff around the house or eat or whatever. I mean why fight against someone if you are not fully involved in the game? Makes no sense to me.

Re : Running out of Time

I have mixed feelings about this. I am a pretty decent player and know my decks well enough to know what to play. Thus the time I spend, making my decision tends to be short and swift. I have, however, also had times when I get into a pretty sticky situation and I was glad I had the extra minute to plan a bit ahead.

One part of me wants it to be shorter, but another is glad its that long. I am sure plenty of other players see it the same way.

I guess we will just have to live with some players being unfair sports who prolong battles to annoy their opponents?

Re : Running out of Time

If you made it so the timer started at 2 minutes and for every move you took, your timer would increase by 30 seconds (with a cap at 2 minutes) it would prevent abuses.

IE: You play normally and most of your turns take you less than 30 seconds. Your timer keeps being refreshed back up to 2 minutes. And if you need a minute and a half to take a pretty tough decision at some point during the game you can do it. But if someone's stalling, he'll only get to stall for 30 seconds per turn instead of the full duration of the current timer.

Great idea!

Re : Running out of Time

I would keep it how it is for Leveling and Training rooms and maybe do the shorter time or the interesting stacked timer idea above for ELO and Tournament.  You shouldn't go into either of those unless you know your deck well enough to plan ahead faster.

I agree with u but the thing with the tournaments are that there is some people who have 2 accounts, the first one is there main and the 2 one is there stall account for tournaments, with i think is stupied i see it as cheating.

Dual accounts is against the ToS

If you see dual accounts in such a manner report it so that the proper measures can be taken.


If there were no luck in TCG, how boring would that be?
